Exactly. As I watched this video, I was like, “Don’t lie, it is not weird that you’re being friendly with someone who is dating the same guy as you. That’s Tuesday.”

Mayor Really Niceguy of the Greater Friendzone Area.

He’s obsessed with her and she thinks he’s okay. She’ll break his heart and he’ll write another album of ‘nice guy’ anthems.

Right?! When I was a kid, I used to hang out with the girls in my neighborhood when they were getting their braids done. It took an hour or two and the braids lasted for what seemed like forever. I was jelly at the time, because sitting for two hours so that my hair would be done for weeks seemed much preferable to my…

My dad does this! He always leaves the door slightly open while he’s shitting - like, what the fuck, man?!

I am a sapphically inclined lady who’s not racist (I’m sure I have subconscious prejudices, but my lady boner for attractive men and women of any race is unaffected by them) I absolutely do not get the Mariah Carey attraction. You do you, though.

I meant boring-looking white guy. I have no idea how boring he is IRL.

Sure, but arguably this isn’t about academics. The academics at UChigago aren’t making this call, the administration is. Universities aren’t really havens for pure academics and creative thought, they’re businesses. And they’re in the business of producing effective future workers for a fee.

Mostly off-topic, but I really want this:

Hi is! But without the manbun he’d be just another boring white guy.

Yeah, weird and droopy is probably a good description. I really hate tight pants, though, so I appreciate the trend in loose but also not baggy pants. Comfy.

My partner is brown and he has the most amazing, thick, waist-length curly hair. He wears it in the most incredible big, fluffy bun. Man buns are pretty. Top knots are weird and greasy.

My tongue is firmly in cheek. Your hair is probably super rad.

Speak for yourself, my ass looks great in everything.

Excuse me, that’s a topnot. Very different from manbun. Please apologize.

Agreed, but the source of the absurd trigger warnings does not negate their existence. Trigger warnings are good, but that doesn’t mean that every request for a trigger warning is a valid one.

I’ll be super clear, to account for your obvious struggles with reading comprehension: I am 100% in favour of trigger warnings. UChigago making it a policy to not issue trigger warnings is super shitty. My general support of trigger warnings doesn’t mean that I don’t have some issues with their application, and I…

Exactly. I am 100% in favour of trigger warnings to allow people with actual trauma time to prepare for difficult content. Unfortunately, the concept of trigger warnings has been co-opted by a million special snowflakes, and it delegitimizes the genuine need for trigger warnings.

Oh, so you still haven’t read my comment. Cool, okay.

Why should I give you an example of that when I never suggested in my comment that someone saying they wanted a trigger warning had hurt anyone?
