My freshman year roommate sat me down Day 1 and was like “Heads up: I’ll be bringing lots of girls and maybe even some guys to the dorm this year so, if that scares you, grow up cuz this ain’t high school!”

I used to not really trust A.I. but then I saw a bunch of beloved Hollywood celebrities saying that "A.I. is the future" and now I also don’t trust Hollywood celebrities

i heard an old person say “men today aren’t providers!” and it’s like, oh yeah, well then who do you think is PROVIDING my wife YouTube videos she has to watch???
in college i double-majored in english and political science and people will be like “oh, so does that mean you know a lot about literature and politics?” and it’s like, oh god no, that just means i know a lot about avoiding math at all costs
husband goes “tropical vacations are rough with you” i go “why?” he goes “because you literally call any random person wearing sunglasses ‘iconic.’ you’re the girl who cried ‘iconic.’” maybe true…
nothing turns me into a Republican faster than QR code menus like a waitress will tell me their menu is totally digital and I just shake my head like “we used to be a f*ckin’ country”
