Stuff I saw on the internet last week
Happy Monday, and happy 2021, everyone! I had a great couple of weeks off, taking many naps and watching many, many things that I can’t wait to talk to y’all about. I hope everyone is doing okay with [gestures broadly towards everything]. Let’s round up some fun internet things!

This month on I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I decided to do a whole month of movies we just truly, truly love — last week we started off with my favourite movie of all time, The Thing, and this coming Wednesday we talk about An American Werewolf In London, a fave of Jocelyn’s. You should 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.)
This video from Luba Magnus is obviously from several weeks ago, but it’s v v cute, and also Craig voices a drunk Dancer in it.
TWEETS!
REDDIT!
Look at this fuzzy idiot.
Don’t lie about whether you want children, and especially don’t make assumptions about a house you don’t even own (on the bright side, she broke up with him):
I was going over my plans with my boyfriend, specifically about how one of the upstairs bedrooms near the master room will be my vanity room. Suddenly he said he thinks we shouldn’t go to a bunch of trouble fixing up the place as much, and turning the bedrooms into places kids can’t live.
I was so shocked? And confused. I thought he was childfree too :( and I have told him MANY times that I do not want children. Birth scares me...And children are extremely expensive. I am way too selfish to have children. I love the freedom of not having kids.
I asked him what he meant and he said that if we decided to have children one day, he wanted to have plenty of bedrooms, plus room for guests. And in his exact words, he said “so no vanity room for you.”
Ooh, yeah, you deserved to get dumped, too:
I work at one of the Big Four accounting firms earning $89,000 per year. I have worked long hours and put my all into this position. My GF is still at the construction company but has kind of worked her way up and earns $60,000 annually. I do not really understand her job position. She manages accounts for different projects. Our main fight over the past four years has been career choices.
We went out with my colleagues about a month ago and just had drinks. One of them asked what my GF does for a living. I had drunk a bit much and instantly felt mad and embarrassed as she explained it to him. I said without thinking "She doesn't have a real job". My GF laughed it off and said, "Yeah I get paid to take naps all day". Her response made everyone at the table uneasy.
Wow, good job showing so much compassion for a young girl:
Usually, she calls me Mrs. [last name] but today she called me Mom when I was chopping cucumbers and I nearly cut my finger off. I was so surprised, I kind of snapped at her and said, "Don't call me that!"
She screamed, "WHY NOT?" and ran to her room.
I just… ugh:
On the day of my birthday(December 30th) my wife woke me up early and sang happy birthday to me. After that, she gave me breakfast and had our daughters bring in a card they made for me. I thanked them for their effort but rejected the card. Later that evening when our children were asleep my wife berated me for a good twenty minutes, saying that she knew I dislike celebration so she did something small and that I broke my daughters heart rejecting their gift. I know that it probably sucks for my children to have their father reject their gift, but I think it is good for them to know my values early in life so we won’t have issues later on.
What a great maze, and what a great rodent.
LOOK HOW SMOL:
This post and its update are fucking WILD:
I don't know where it came from. I don't know why he's doing this. I finally hit my limit when we were grocery shopping and everything seemed normal and fine until he gasped like a kid, ran to the ice cream section and jumped up and down yelling "ICE CWEAM ICE CWEAM! I WANT CHOCWIT!"
I was MORTIFIED. People were staring at him and me. He kept going and kept saying "CAN WE GET POPSICOOOS?" and I just said "Either talk to me like an adult or I'm leaving."
TUMBLR!
