your dad celebrates himself

Having the highest rates of cowboy boot ownership per capita surely negates at least having the most power stations, leaving California in good stead to enforce any claim of superiority.

holy shit i just saw a fucking llama! it was in the town square and this dude was feeding it long grasses. there were all a couple of native dudes all decked out in traditional garb and playing wooden flutes.

i also got an eight for $10 (they massively ripped me off but still).

[FoolofaTook]

the llama was really shaggy, in case anyone was wondering

"I'm not gonna lie..."

God I fucking hate when people begin a sentence that way. Does that mean lying is their default way of communicating? They lie so often they have to make it a special event on the occasions that they have chosen to tell the truth?

Plus it always feels like they’re gonna lean in and tell u something u never wanted to hear but like they think you’re sooooo lucky to get to hear this privileged nugget of secret darkness such as

“.....not gonna lie, but your stepmoms breasts just keep hanging lower and lower and it makes me wanna be a koala just hanging between em har har har!”

Like, ok. Thanks?

I'd say this is a great example of what feels like the widespread homogenization of speech patterns. More and more it seems like people use the same collection of stock phrases and meme references to communicate. And it seems to be happening across a pretty wide range of age groups. So much nuance, color, and vibrancy is lost in the process. Feels like lots of people are losing the ability to communicate in ways that say much of anything in particular. Maybe it's just my brain hardening as I rapidly approach the opportunity to once again be the recipient of age-based discounts, but I'm sad to see things like regional accents and unique speech patterns becoming less and less common

In short: haha destroy meme culture
