Saw a commercial recently about how dishwashers are more efficient than hand washing... I guess it depends on how you do it... -

Again, dark themes aren't the problem for me. I did, in fact, enjoy reading about the vampire's point of view. But, once or twice was clever. Endlessly gritty is just lazy. -

There's this weird stylistic choice these days, where all the books have to be dark and all the tv shows and movies have to be gritty and I'm tired of it.
That's not to say no one should ever do a gritty show, but when they reframe the old Archie comics as gritty, it looks like they've lost the plot.
The best tv comedies were ones that dealt with heavy subjects, like All In The Family or Barney Miller. Lots of social commentary, lots of humor too. -

Matron of the ninth circle (grumpyoldnurse@spinster.xyz)'s status on Friday, 03-Jan-2025 01:56:25 JST Matron of the ninth circle @Gnomeshatecheese @FeartnTired It's a shortcut for the intellectually lazy; like what everyone else hates, hate what they like, and people will mistake your contrariness for intelligence.
Not to say I don't think there's merit in examining the darkness, or thinking about why literary villains do what they do (a well written antagonist isn't cartoonishly bad just because, after all) but making everything gritty and dire is just as intellectually childish as making everything default to Pollyanna. -

If you want to avoid feminists in the bathroom, maybe use the bathroom that doesn't have feminists in it?
(No. Men CAN'T be feminists, actually) -

I've been using the online name Grumpy Old Nurse since I was an irritable middle aged nurse. -

So many people mistake their good fortune for personal skill. -

In the dark. In a crowded theater. When they weren't expecting it.
Ok, Deadshot. How's Harley Quinn and the rest of the Suicide Squad doing these days?
Idiot. -

But, a fish doesn't see water, and they don't see their privilege. -

Matron of the ninth circle (grumpyoldnurse@spinster.xyz)'s status on Monday, 30-Dec-2024 02:41:23 JST Matron of the ninth circle @FeartnTired Yes. It is hard not to take it personally.
But, really, someone else showing off their arrogance, stupidity, and cruelty is more about them being petty, cruel morons than it is about anything to do with you.
Even when it has a catastrophic impact on your life.
I mean, saying "it isn't personal" when you ruin someone's life is actually worse than if you said you hate them. -

Matron of the ninth circle (grumpyoldnurse@spinster.xyz)'s status on Monday, 23-Dec-2024 00:57:04 JST Matron of the ninth circle @polarisera I remember, when my union president 'stepped down' and the union's historical anti-compulsory vaccination stance flipped, how I made a comment to my shop steward about how we don't know the long term sequelae of RNA 'vaccines' and she told me we had thousands of hours of testing and I should ask the public health nurses because they're 'experts' and I was like, you aren't even listening to my concern. You can't even let yourself hear my question.
Again, I'm not taking a pro or anti vaccine stance, I think people should live to their own best conscience, but we should be able to ask the questions... -

It's impressive that they've taken it one step farther and got it for 'free'.
Well played, Satan, well played. -

Wonder what the academics who cautioned him would say about Hutterites, Doukhobors, or Mennonites with autosomal recessive traits? -
