You know how some names are just way more fun to spoonerize than other ones? What are your favourite spoonerizeable names?
I wonder if the people who most enjoy tumblr tags are the same kind of people who enjoy that kind of standup comedy delivery where you go one line past the punchline to keep the rhythm off-kilter, or do a second punchline as an under-your-breath aside, cause to me there’s something similar about the two aesthetics and I greatly enjoy both.
The reason that I am sympathetic to the “you should enjoy exercise” message is that there are kinds of exercise that I really enjoy, and kinds that I really don’t enjoy. The range is absolutely huge. It’s not like movies where, you know, some are better, some are worse, but fundamentally watching a movie is kind of like watching another movie. And I know myself to the point where if the only exercise I would be doing is the kind where I hate doing it, I would not be able to keep doing exercise on willpower alone (cf. my success with “not spending too much time on tumblr”).
So maybe some other people are also like that, and rather than being told to exercise whether they like it or not, the message of finding some version of exercise that they enjoy would be helpful. If you hate exercise, it might be that you don’t hate exercise, maybe you hate the thing you are doing to get exercise. I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s possible.
Like say all you had ever tried eating was hamburgers and you fucking hated hamburgers and were like “food is terrible, I hate it so much”. And the response to that could be “well you need food to live” since that is true, but I think the better response is “maybe try something other than hamburgers and you might like it”.
Relevant to the you-shall-know-them-by-the-quality-of-their-ads thing is that every time I visited the Geneva airport I was amazed anew by the number of different luxury watch companies that advertised there. I think I counted 19 different brands once.
and yeah, Big Tits Putin is censored now but I thankfully saved the image in time…
Having said that, I am kinda curious why people are filling their tubs with noodles now
I mean some things did change: that ad is not nearly as good as the Big Tits Putin ad we had before the tumblr apocalypse
Whenever I am listening to a song on YouTube, the YouTube algorithm systematically underestimates how likely I am to want to listen to another song by the same artist, and systematically overestimates how likely I am to want to switch from listening to music to something that’s not music in general, and involves Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro specifically
