You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I'm watching ID shows for the first time in a while, and I keep thinking to myself "these are all reactionary fantasies, like a lot of slasher movies were...it's like they're trying to scare people into thinking their spouses will leave them and all hell will break loose."
For a company based in suburban Maryland, Discovery can be pretty damn Midwestern at times. :P
Well, I guess the word I want is "conservative"; back in the mid-20th century, they used to go on about "but how will this play in Peoria?" as a mark of how conservative something needed to be to have mass appeal, hence the "Midwestern" quip. I would say Salt Lake City, Phoenix or Dallas would be a better benchmark now.
And it also doesn't reflect that, outside the Mountain West, it's more of a urban vs. rural thing now. While there are places in Virginia that are conservative hotbeds (Lynchburg, anyone?), they're also either very rural or home to a large conservative organization (in Lynchburg's case, Liberty University).

i don't know about you, but "mass appeal" feels so repressive to me

Considering that the voting public on the whole is far less conservative than the current government, I would say that the average Representative's idea of "mass appeal" is pretty narrow and skewed...
Urggggh. So apparently my mother's going away to Florida soon and I have to stay at the house of some guy I'm really really not comfortable around and getting rides from his son who I don't particularly care for because allegedly it takes "an act of God to wake me up" even though literally every time I've been left to my own devices in the morning I did immensely better than when my mother wakes me up by screaming.

"So which act of god should we use to wake up Kextruct today?" "I was thinking a flood of the entire planet"
You know, I used to think my mother's victim complex was a result of her taking all failures of my brothers and I on herself but really I think it's just a matter of her being a very controlling person.

i don't think i consciously imitated anybody, but i definitely pick up characteristics from people whose posts i read often
This.
It was especially funny three years ago or so, when AU and I first started picking up each other's little quirks...because we already had pretty similar posting styles, so as they got more similar people legitimately had a hard time telling us apart! :B

i was trying to be less uptight
but the only thing that changed is i seldom proofread or hit shift anymore
