  • I knew a guy who had a mild (but noticeable) deformity and was also gay. He was at a friend's house and the friend's mom asked him "did you choose to be gay?" (or some form of that question). The mom was genuinely trying to understand more and it wasn't ugly... she just didn't know any better

    His response was great; "I already have this 'deformity' that makes my life hell in school, why would I ever choose something that would make my life any harder?"

    And the mom gained new understanding that day— never questioned it again

  • I'm right there with you, I just assumed you were making an Anchorman reference/joke... I never thought there were people out there who would unironically say that

  • so sad 😔

  • Same, a bunch of times actually. Much more often before I grew a beard. Now when older staunch "christians" tell me I should cut my hair I just say, "but Jesus is my idol and he had long hair"... you can almost see the wheels in their head grinding

  • Well ya got one, I have it saved to my watch list. Gonna see if I get time to watch it tonight. Plus it's a horror movie, and it's only like an hour long... perfect

  • After searching, I am now aware of the film "Freaks", from 1932. I'll have to take a watch

    I always knew it from "South Park", assumed it was a reference to something else, and never inquired more until now

    That being said; maybe just adding a disclaimer to check out the movie "Freaks" would be cool (for those who aren't aware of the origins). But I wouldn't always choose to use the "Original Movie Gif", because there's so many great variations

    A disclaimer would be cool to encourage people to watch the original (just for 'learning purposes' at some point), but I wouldn't knock someone for not disclaiming it. I would probably just reply to them that "the original movie from where that came from is really worth watching"

    Unless I watch it and the movie ends up being hot garbage... then I won't disclaim nor comment about it. Only time will tell, what my feelings will be after I give it a watch. Thank you though for the insight, cause I'm now excited to watch this old, crazy-seeming film. It looks good

  • It helps to keep me lighthearted; the lightly-whimsical font (on just my phone) is easier on my brain. I work with a lot of intense situations that require a lot of critical thinking... so it's nice not to see the same font on my phone that I normally see when trying to mitigate an impending crash. It's just nicer for allowing my brain to switch gears between priorities... if that make sense?

    I work critical care in a large hospital, and I've had to develop a bunch of coping skills to maintain my humanity/sanity as well as not bringing my work home with me everyday. Small changes can make a big impact sometimes

    And I've learned to love the font. A lot of people may need the rigidity of a standard font, but I assume it's a per-basis situation

  • Supersized stick insect discovered in high-altitude trees in Australia

    Jump

  • The insect was so high up that they had to use a long stick to get it down

    "Want me to climb up to the canopy and see if I can grab it?" "Nah, just hand me that long stick there"
