you broke the rule of no eye contact in america, youre lucky youre not shot dead
I'm just trying to vibe with the world
I have noticed SF is much less friendly, nice, and mentally healthy than Toronto unfortunately
That's because Klanada has something closer to a functioning healthcare system than Amerikkka
Public transportation in the US is partially hated because of incidents like this being very common. I remember visiting family and making the mistake of taking a bus to get to where they were. Fights broke out twice, bus driver stopping the bus several times for various reasons, and a few people whipping out their phones and going on the sort of rants you see on publicfreakout
people draw the wrong conclusion though. They come to the conclusion "public transit bad because it forces me to be in proximity to deeply impoverished, addicted, and mentally ill people!" instead of "public transit is good and holy shit we should do something about poverty, addiction, and mental illness as well!"
there are diverse areas outside of america with public transit that isn't like that
yes, without a doubt, i was just pointing out where the reactionary mind goes, steering clear of the correct understanding at all costs
I took public transit from and around impoverished areas for years in college, and can count the number of incidents that I have witnessed on one hand. It's not 'that' common, it's just jarring when it happens because it completely pierces the artificial bubble you can place around yourself in society.
That being said, after years of driving the amount of absolutely batshit insane stuff I have seen I have lost count (though I have been driving longer). It's just that you pretty much still always have the car cocoon around you.
Hey GaveUp what piercing are you getting?
I'm still trying to decide about getting a septum piercing but I do water sports and wear nose plugs. So idk if it would work for me but i think it also looks super cute on me. I also still need to get my ears pierced and really am looking forward to that but boymoding in the closet rn IRL, so I'm kinda just waiting lol
Get your ears pierced! Lots of men have it nowadays so it should still be safe for you. The healing process is so long you might as well start it now
It's gonna happen when I'm ready lol. I know lots of men have it but I'm a bit older maybe idk and I'm insecure just trying not to draw attention to myself I guess. I do want my earlobes done first but then I'd like an industrial if possible and that little part of your ear that kinda comes out near the ear hole, idkbwhat those are called. But really I just want dangle earrings 😭
I looove the look of industrials and dangles, you have a good taste haha
I think my jawline is too keloid prone to risk any ear piercings and my hair would never work with them anyways 😔
What I did is get clip on earrings to see what they would look like on me. They're very cheap to get a set of like 15. I recommend it :)
the little part of your ear that kinda comes out near the ear hole
I think you’re talking about the tragus. I used to have one of mine pierced, it was really cute. I have really thick hair, so you’d just catch glimpses of this turquoise sparkle when I moved my head or put my hair behind my ear.
I’d still have it but it fell out once and I couldn’t find the earring and just never got around to getting another one.
Only downsides were earbuds being uncomfortable even after healing and I had trouble putting the earring in and removing it myself, so one time I wasn’t allowed on a water slide.
Hmmm earbuds would be a huge problem cause I use them all the time. Thanks for the heads up there. They look so good imo but it sounds like it might be like the septum piercing where I want it but it would be too inconvenient
I eventually want 3 on my nose
2 for a nose chain and 1 for a ring
Just doing one today so I still have a nostril for ket lmao
Here's one inspiration https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMjMRBDkp/
Lmaoooo yeah I haven't done ket in years so that's not my worry. But I would love to try some again.
Nose chains are so coll but also scare me if they got caught on something lollll
But I would love to try some again
Unironically hmu if you're ever in the Bay, I have so many drugs and I love sharing
For sure I'll let you know :) we both kinda realized we're trans at the same time so you probably dont recognize me much but i have maybe a weird kinship with you
Lmao idk it's just I've gone through like 3 or 4 accounts since my egg cracked
Yo I just saw the tik tok (wouldn't open early for me) and that is so cute!! I don't think I could pull it off but that's a great choice I've never seen that before
there's a person wheeling around a massive speaker blasting Madonna.
After the revolution, people who use speakers on public transport will be sent to the same gulag as the people who put pineapple on pizza.
What about the gulag for people who make hating pineapple on pizza a personality trait?
Same camp as the one for people who get really defensive about jokes about pineapple pizza.
Next you'll say Die Hard is your favorite Christmas movie!
Dear sweet summer child, have you never experienced sweet and savory together?
The problem is that I've tasted competent combinations of sweet an savory. A nice honey glazed ham or sweet and sour pork are great, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy chocolate cake with chunks of ham in it.
Westernized Chinese food is also an abomination, but that's a separate topic I guess.
Even so, I think it's a fundamentally different food that's had a lot more care taken in balancing the flavors. Just because Mexican food has delicious meat and chocolate moles, doesn't mean I'm going to eat a chocolate cake with ham in it.

It truly is
sweet is fine, like dates, but pineapples are too sour for me,
maybe I could like fresh pineapple on pizza, I like fresh pineapple. The canned stuff they usually put on pizza is just too much.

This is the correct position. No fuckin way I'd have canned pineapple on a taco either but Al Pastor is the shit.
incredible performance, I do not often enjoy public spaces and commutes.
Good luck with your appointment
Public transportation is the West is so fascinating
It's a shared public service but everybody on it could not act more hostile and isolated from each other
Just 2 weeks ago me and a friend stopped a train ourselves to call for help because somebody passed out and fell over and the ~30 people that got on the train before us all just walked past him and avoided his still body like it was poison or something
On the subway I also once pointed out a lady's shoes was untied because I was tripping on acid and felt no social anxiety and she stared at me like I was a murderer. She then proceeded to tie her shoes immediately afterwards lmao
she stared at me like I was a murderer. She then proceeded to tie her shoes immediately afterwards lmao
maybe she thought YOU DID IT
Social experiment UNTYING strangers' shoes on the subway prank GONE WRONG
When you are around that much suffering you either become worked into a blind rage or become numb.
I admit i have my fair share of numbness. I don't blame anyone for trying to ignore something they can't help. I try to help when i can
YTA for being on this woman's side at all. Playing music loudly on public transportation gets the death penalty.
yeah you meet some truly insane people on public transit. it's pretty sad tbh
Death to America
Sounds like someone who needs mental Healthcare actually. This is pretty common in the US. It's like there was a guy screaming the f slur in our local queer neighborhood. But he was clearly having some kind of mental break. It's just sad honestly (but also a bit scary because it's unpredictable behavior and as a queer person who, at the time was going out in makeup for the first time, I just ended up getting back in my car and leaving lol)
Nah I don't have any ill will towards her tbh, she's clearly struggling mentally
I'm just upset because I might miss the appointment I already paid 40 bucks for and it's a 40 minute commute so I'd waste 1.5 hours if I don't make it
Your password leaked or something? Because this is kinda insane.
Murdering the mentally ill instead of just treating them
Yeah, it’s fascist time alright
The fact you have gotten upvoted is actually fucked. Everyone involved please escort yourselves to the wall.
