song goes hard but he loses me when he’s complaining about people on food stamps. id say many consumers of country music, and especially this song, are those who are close to being or are already on food stamps. and it’s true that a lot of people take advantage of WIC or EBT or PEBT but ultimately there’s a lot of people that desperately need it. and the exact people he’s singing about are the people who allow these means of survival to be abused and want them taken away.
just because a system is in desperate need of reform doesnt mean it’s a bad idea. and just because some people on food stamps are deadbeats doesn’t mean they all are. their parents, partner, whoever let them down in life- and now they’re the ones who have to bear shame for needing help from a system that claims to serve that goal.
and there’s more to say as to why someone on food stamps would still be buying fudge rounds instead of the almighty fruit and veg: i know people who live a 30 minute drive from the nearest store (that accepts EBT) with fresh produce. but there’s a non-market Dollar General a five minute walk from the house.
and that’s all i’ll say bc probably no one cares but yeah i like the song and he’s talented but had to come hit us with a white-man line that really reduced the value of the song for me personally. otherwise bop
just see two good boys
bruh at 7pm if that don’t fwm
tbh there’s two types of people: the ones that recognize it’s just a way to relate and the ones that take it as being one-upped.
i’m the first kind idgaf either get mad at me if u want but i’ll either have a relatable scenario to add to the discussion or imma hit u with something like “damn bro that sucks”. bc idk what else to say
when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. when all you have is a paintbrush, everything looks like a canvas. when all you have is a cock, everything looks like the exhaust pipe of a 2014 honda civic. so yes, to answer your question, i am stuck. please call the emergency services

maybe a unique take but i feel like “feminism” is one of those things that got misconstrued societally. so now additional semantics are necessary to have discussions about feminism, which makes those discussions even harder to have.
and being a “girls girl” is just an extension of feminism that’s also being abused, calling someone a “pick me” is definitely deserved when they in fact were putting down other women for “traditional female things”. i’ve only ever directly called something “pick me” behavior when this girl wrote a long ass paragraph about how much it sucked that most girls acted scared when a group of dudes ran up to them with a basketball, hoop, and camera in their face instead of trying to shoot the ball and “being fun”. pick me asf for so many reasons.
and the “my roman empire” is a woman’s way to relate to a man. it kinda shows that women aren’t always cooking up schemes when quiet and thinking, similarly to how men are often thinking about somewhat random subjects regularly, like the roman empire. it’s a joke all around because i’m sure men really don’t think about the roman empire that much.
and older girls clinging to their girlhood in modern society where it’s being taken from them at earlier and earlier ages seems super reasonable to me. and i could honestly see there being some kind of psychological or sociological reason behind that response. and this is an issue for men as well. the modern mentality does not foster youth, it corrupts them.
there’s good and bad people of any sex, and this kind of perspective (placing all of this in the hands of girls, seemingly those middle aged and younger, heavy on the younger) kinda contributes to the problem. as in- assigning thoughts and beliefs to the collective (not topical perspective but the points included to make it). in my opinion, in the ripe year of 2024, it shouldn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman in most contexts. some behavior is typical of a man or a woman but it’s not fair to equate social media trends to an assessment of what “woman-hood” or “girl-hood” are, were, or will be about. its individual, and neither of those two things truly exists.
i hate how "being a girl's girl" has replaced feminism. I hate that enforced conformity has replaced genuine compassion for and solidarity with other women. I hate how women call each other "pick me's" for not conforming to femininity or for daring to critique something other women like. I hate how we just keep finding new socially acceptable ways to bully other women for being unattractive or outspoken or difficult or complicated or weird or ambitious or for not performing femininity. I hate those front facing camera "comedians" whose whole thing is making up a straw-woman to make fun of. I hate the obsession with "girlhood" and clinging to being a girl instead of a woman. i hate "the girl version of the roman empire" and "girlhood" and it's just consumerism and I hate the characterised of girlhood as passivity, niceness, sweetness, helplessness and frivolity and I hate the revival of gender essentialism even as a joke!!!
i was sitting with this guy helping him with hmwk and we both glanced out the window at the same time and he goes “omg i have a boner”. and i was like omg what the fuck what do i say? so i was like “hey man that’s great”
he saw a teacher we had in the summer semester, we made jokes about her being a dick doctor that loves a man with good strong knees. he was saying (jokingly) that she’d made him chub up.
thought i was in a YA novel for a second tho ngl
u wanna pet that dawg?
if i recall correctly crocodilians don’t have a very kinetic skull like at all, which provides death-force to their bite but that’s about it. so they have their lil teefies to try to chomp thru, bite down, & snatch their prey. which is why their throat is a big ole gaping hole, bc they can’t sit there and masticate the way we do. so they swallow things in gigantor chunks.
this being the next song is great comedic timing in my professional opinion, funny as fuck
“listen i know what you want & i get it but i just can’t do it right now my balls are literally aching”
me:
