Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "That's like saying u would f*ck jar jar binks over anakin or obi"
Happy Monday, party people! Let’s all ignore our existential dread for a few minutes and look at some fun stuff from the internet!
Enjoying Kat Watches Everything?
If you like Kat Watches Everything, consider sharing it with your friends and throwing a few bucks in, which will help keep this newsletter going — it’s $5 a month, or $50 a year. Paying subscribers get exclusive content several times a month that the rest of you miss out on — last Friday, I did a bonus Reddit roundup that included a confusing story about “sexy potatoes.” If that sounds like something you’d enjoy (or just want to read out of morbid curiosity), click below!
On last week’s episode of I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I talked about Jason X, a bad horror movie (Jason goes to space!) that we genuinely love. We were joined by Jocelyn’s sweet baboo Jon Blair, who loves the movie just as much as we do. It’s worth a listen, and maybe you should even subscribe, if you wanna be cool! (You can subscribe to I Hate It But I Love It in all the usual places, including Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Pocket Casts.)
TWEETS!
REDDIT!
Aw, somebody’s jealous:
she used to make little jokes around me all the time that were painful to hear. Nails on a chalkboard, no sense of timing, but I was so smitten with her I forced myself to respond with what must’ve been a convincing laugh. Honestly it’s so bad I thought it was cute in a way. After a while I thought of a way to solve the problem by saying her jokes were “too good to waste” and encouraging her to start posting them on Twitter. It completely backfired because she became obsessed with Twitter and started building her account every moment of the day.
Not only does she now think she’s even more hilarious, after six years she has 30k followers. It’s not really 30k, it’s more…
Again I have to reiterate since people are going to think I’m being unfair: no one I know thinks my girlfriend is funny. This isn’t related to her career at all and at the risk of sounding like a scolding parent I’m afraid it’s taking energy away from her real job.
Stand your ground and do NOT move in with this person until they learn to look after themselves:
Turns out, his mom does everything. And I do mean everything. He can't cook anything, doesn't know how to clean anything, never had to budget his money..
I told him I didn't want to move in with him until he could at least do the basic things. I'm scared of taking on the teacher/mom role in the relationship, and not being able to escape it, if that makes sense.
I told him that I enjoy cooking, and if he spends weekends here I'd have no problem teaching him then. But that he needs to learn the basics of cleaning somewhere else. And that maybe we should wait a bit before getting an apartment together.
He doesn't like that, at all. He's annoyed that I don't trust him to learn these things, and that I don't want to teach him, so I must not care about him that much.
Oh my god divorce this asshole:
I put dinner on the table and my mother in law started asking why I used x ingredient instead of x ingredient. Saying that she would've liked it. Then said that the salad was not necessary because no one liked this type of salad. My husband just agreed with her telling me why i didn't do it this way or that way. I was getting mad and lost my appetite. Mother in law said the pound cake was not complete and didn't look delicious. My husband told her that he wanted to get one from the bakery but I didn't allow him. The cake stayed the same while they ate what brother in law's wife brought and flattered her.
After they left. I told my husband that his mom was being rude and mean to me the whole time. That he should've stopped her instead of agreeing with her. He said that he didn't defend me because I was in the wrong and what I cooked was not so great and that I embarrassed him infront of his family after having them try my cooking for the first time.
Look at the sweet angel:
Please break up and report her to the authorities:
I lied to her a little bit - I told her that my Gmail had been hacked and I knew it was her. I acted upset, but I was bluffing. I didn't know it was her - I fully planned to apologize and ask her to help me think of what could have happened.
But she confessed fairly easily and I froze up. I asked her how long she's been doing this. She told me that she's done it before we even got together.
Apparently she guessed passwords to an old Hotmail account of mine which has served as a back up email for a lot, but that Hotmail account did not have 2 factor authentication itself. From there she was able to access several social media accounts and eventually my Gmail. The filter was out into place just in case I received an email confirmation for for factor authentication from a website she signed into. She has been on my twitter, Gmail, Facebook and Instagram, and a few other minor things.
