Hi, it's me again, and I know that asking everyone questions at once can kind of be a bad idea sometimes or most of the times, but...

I went to the store to prepare for this whole feast thing, and I was offered something free for... For pride? It made rainbows follow me, and I don't see what that has to do with being proud, so there's definitely something here that I'm missing. When I asked the shopkeep they went on about flags and representation, but I didn't really get it.

So... Is there anyone who wants to explain that to me, and am I the only one confused by this?

So long as its not me I don't care.

I just thought I could help explain pride. I didn't want all this.

[itsjiaheng]

i mean
it could turn out that maybe no one will need to explain it
some people don't wanna have sex with anybody

[notwearingthekeds]

Maybe. But they should at least know enough to know they don't want it right?

Like- you only really know when you think about it and feel like you need a shower.

[itsjiaheng]

yeah i suppose
but like
watch a movie even ???
then again he didn't know what planet he's from so like
maybe he didn't have the opportunity to learn much
i would absolutely believe that
i was lucky
i had the internet lmao

[notwearingthekeds]

I had the internet too. It helped me figure a few things out that I couldn't really talk to anyone about.

So many fucked up worlds out there.

[itsjiaheng]

oh yeah ?
then i guess you're a local
but you know
it's pretty fucked up there too
even if you come from a version of earth where everything isn't always true

[notwearingthekeds]

Fiona Apple summed it up.

This world is bullshit.

I mean my world, and I guess yours too.

[itsjiaheng]

fiona who

hard agree tho
it is hella bullshit
but i mean
shit sucks but then i went to a place where shit sucks even more
people turning into monsters and eating each other
so you get some perspective i guess

[notwearingthekeds]

Fiona Apple, she's a singer.

This is time bullshit isn't it? I'm from 1997.

Everything I learn about other worlds makes me glad all that happened here is I got kidnapped once and learned magic.

[itsjiaheng]

yoooo i wasn't even born until 2000
technically i left where i came from in 2019
but i spent a year and a half somewhere else
oof did they even have twitter in 1997
OMG YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A VINE HAVE YOU??? wtffff

[notwearingthekeds]

You just used a bunch of words I'm pretty sure don't mean the same thing as they do for me.

[itsjiaheng]

they're apps
twitter is social media
140 characters to say a thing
well then they bumped it up to 280 because people are babies
vine was the greatest app to ever live
6 second videos
comedy genius a+
fortunately i have my laptop here somehow
and i have a lot of them saved
cuz i used to make "memes that butter my croissant" type videos
which.........
you would not know about
wow
you know what it's fine lmao this was one of my jobs in the other place
i taught a cop from the 1800s what memes were i can do anything

[notwearingthekeds]

That was a lot to try and work through.

So Twitter is like this, but you can only write so much. And vine was for short videos, not really long enough to do anything. I guess that explains how you type.

I guess people want it all quick and short, way shorter than a radio edit.

[itsjiaheng]

what do you mean explains how i type ????
i type fine
6 seconds is all anyone needs in that particular situation btw
that's what memes ARE
relatable and short
some things should be long
like a good song
radio edits are stupid and it's a good thing radio is probably gonna die
and i always want the director's cut of movies
but memes?
memes so smol
