The things that pissed you off today ™ thread

[dickman69]

glasses are broken & my fucking lens keeps popping out all the time

[Molzie]

prescription or shades? cake it in gorilla glue, will be good as new

[dickman69]

prescription :/

i dont want to fuck up the lenses

the frames are like $20 so i could give a fuck, but idk if glueing the glass will fuck it up or something

[legend4ry]

my glasses snapped the other day too.

Busting tape around them like a true PRK cause the gorilla glue wouldn't bond with the plastic.




I think I can be part of the yung crew now.

If your frames are acetate, I fixed my last frames by putting it in mid-temp water till the plastic was soft then stuck a sewing needle through both bits till it was tight then super glued around the snap.

Once it dried I just sand papered it off smooth.

2. Using Your Voice: Step Up and Step Back

I’m a loudmouth, and it’s easy for me to dominate conversation. But you know what I’ve noticed? Far more men are this way than women. Thus, when we’re part of a conversation, whether it’s on the latest Spiderman movie or on the best way to dismantle the patriarchy, we need to be aware of how much we’re talking.

You see, it’s not just the physical space to which men tend to feel entitled.

Thus, we should be aware of how much we’re talking, and if we are talking a whole bunch, step back. If we notice that men are dominating the conversation, we should step up simply to point it out and to call men to reflect on that.

Here’s a little secret: Most of the times I have had a BRILLIANT idea in a discussion, if I wait a little while, someone else will voice that idea or something similar. If they don’t, then I still can. This doesn’t mean that I’m not an active participant in the discussion. It simply means I put more energy into really listening than to having my voice heard.

What?

7. Demonstrate Clear Consent

Whenever possible, demonstrate consent.

Need to slide past a woman in a public place? Don’t just put your hand on her back. Ask to slide by.

Ask before you hug someone. Ask before you pick up that little kid or tickle them. Ask before you kiss your partner.

Simply finding mundane–as well as creative–ways to demonstrate consent is a simple way to push back on the assumption that men are entitled to the bodies and spaces around them.

And perhaps most worrying:

5. Keep Your Clothes On

Man, I used to love to streak. Any chance I got, I was running around naked in public. But it wasn’t until some people called me in to consider the roots of sexist male entitlement present in my streaking that I realized that it wasn’t just good fun.

[RKM]

[Riddles]

"hello gf, can I kiss you please?"

[m8son666]

He's one of feminism's success stories. He's like the dog who takes the leash in its mouth and walks subserviently to his master to put it on.

[Riddles]

I really like it when a dog's walking to heel and they're holding their lead in their mouths. It's like theyre walking themselves!

[Genevieve]

"Who's a good self-loathing dog? Aww you are! You're such good boy.. I mean.. such a good dog. You have no way of accurately communicating your gender-identification to me and it would be presumptious of me to call you a boy because you were born with male bodyparts"
