Put things back where they belong in the store, don't leave trash on the shelves. Push your chair in, put your cart in the corral.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

And some of the fun could be trading candy with your friends if you got stuff you didn't like but they did and vice versa. Or swapping out stuff you don't want with leftovers from your parents' bucket, or a friend's parents' bucket.

Who tf gives away full sized candy bars? I don't remember ever getting full sized ones, but rather a handful of the bite sized ones with small samples of m&m's, nerds, sweet tarts, starburst, laffy taffy, skittles, etc. Each kid grabs a handful from the bucket and you get what you get.

I swear to fucking goodness, #MAGA are the least #self-aware people who have ever lived. And the most #self-pitying, cowardly, hateful, and judgmental. With the biggest #persecution complex.

How... how would they know what the average sperm count of TEENAGE boys is? The only standard test having to do with my genitals I remember was having the cough test done. Who is supposedly collecting sperm samples from teens for testing? Yes, I know he's just talking out his ass, but still, 🤨

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

I used to do that up until about middle school, then stopped after getting bullied from it. My mom does the same thing. I think it gets to the point where it's the only way to release the emotions, even if not sadness.

No one cares about your prestige reading. Just read what you want.

You don't have to finish a book you don't like. You're not hurting the book or the author's feelings

Not every book has to be for edification. Read for fun for fucks sake

buy my book @nmamatas.bsky.social · 6d

What's your totally ordinary opinion about books that you nonetheless find compelled to share when asked on a social media site such as this one for your most extreme/unhinged/hottest takes?

I'll go first: manga is popular among young people because manga often features young people.

Being introverted isn’t something to fix, it’s something to value. They can live alone, eat alone, travel alone, and still feel whole. It’s not loneliness, it’s peace. Most people wouldn’t get it

The sweet relief of no longer feeling like daggers are trying to stab their way out of you from the inside?
