I am 23 and work in costume. I have one (1) temporary job and no prospects and can't find a good bookseller in London. I also have a terrible habit of buying tickets to the Book of Mormon every time I'm upset.
So can we talk about the absolutely stunning duplicity going on here?
…that’s cheating!
HOLY SHIT
That is some DELIBERATELY EVIL data representation. Where is the super villain that designed this fucking graph?
“Okay murders spiked by like well over 1000% but if we turn the graph THIS way, it’s like they went DOWN! HOORAYYYY!!!”
It took me a minute to understand and yes this is evil as fuck. For those still lost, look at the numbers along the left side of the graph. Flip the graph upside down. The number of murders happening after the “Stand your ground law” is passed skyrockets from less than 600 deaths to over 800 deaths
#It should probably be a BIG warning sign that the most satisfied i’ve been in weeks was solving the catsdown maths q in the same smug efficient way as jon richardson. but that would also imply that this was something surprising in any way whatsoever and not a recurring event in my life.
you want my hot take for the evening? people who dont like complainers just havent been exposed to good complaining, and will never know if they themselves have an inborn talent for the art of kvetching
good complaining is some combination of a) funny, b) animated and theatrical, c) insightful re: human foibles, d) inquiry into social trends and norms.it must ALWAYS involve at least a small degree of self awareness, and is often used to build camaraderie and maintain relationships.

when Spider-Man Noir said he liked egg creams i was like “well i don’t know what that is but it has ‘egg’ in it… wow, it must mean he’s so gritty and hard-boiled he likes drinking raw egg yolks or something"
