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
real talk this reminds me of when i said swag was a dumb word and then jane asked me why i thought that and then the more i thought about it the more i realized that it was because of me picking up on low-key background racism

I feel kinda eh on the whole "bae" thing because there are just so many better silly terms of endearment that are way more... me. "Swag," on the other hand, can be useful despite having been frightfully overused.
There are times when I want to go to Detroit, but although I go to Michigan fairly frequently Mother says it's "like Beirut" in places and we don't go there

yeah but that's not really what we're discussing
first of all complaining about stuff like that is just boneheaded and blocking someone when they point out you're being unintentionally racist is just stupid
second of all slang goes in and out of the public lexicon, no one will be saying bae in 10 years.

that's such a weird comparison because Beirut is like

fine
Sadly it's gotten more dangerous in recent years, thanks to spillover from the Syrian Civil War.
Oh, no disagreement here, I was just pointing out my own silly opinions.
I've picked up plenty of odd slang from going to school with kids from North Philly—the "y'all"s come honestly, folkles— and it will probably stick with me for a while because I feel like the eclecticism suits me, but argot is an ever-evolving beast. I'm sure there will be a handful of people calling their significant others "bae" in 2025, but the people who would say it now will likely have come up with something else. Or maybe not. Casual speech, even when recorded, is not something so predictable as that. And that's great.
@TNS a few pages ago: The whole... thing surrounding Polanski is pretty horrible, but honestly, that doesn't keep him from having produced some exceptional films, and staying away from his work because he committed a really horrid crime, while, understandable, does mean that you will be missing out on some really enjoyable, disturbing films.
Whenever I see those "such and such famous person blocked me holy shit" posts my immediate thought is that these people have probably @ed said famous people multiple times in the past.
At any rate I think there are worse things in the world than minor celebrities accidentally saying racist things, such as people using accidental racist comments by minor celebrities as Your Fave is Problematic fodder

Am I doing it right?
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
