Here’s the thing

A Marvel joke used for when someone is going to spout a bullshit reason but instead of saying said reason, attaches an image of The Thing/Benjamin Grimm usually doing something ridiculous or intellectual.

Mostly used in the game community known as “Marvel Rivals”

Person 1: If you can give me one good reason I’ll do it
Person 2: Well you see… here’s the thing.

Person 1: Why the fuck does this Thing keep targeting me?!
Person 2: Well you see.. here’s the thing.

Bias of Impartial Things

A pervasive bias where human creations—institutions, systems, artifacts, knowledge—are treated as if they were impartial, objective, and free from the human interests that produced them. The Bias of Impartial Things projects neutrality onto things that are anything but neutral: science shaped by funding and paradigm, technology embedded with values and assumptions, culture carrying centuries of history, economics built on particular theories of human nature, law encoding power relations, secularism reflecting specific historical struggles. The bias treats these human products as if they fell from the sky, as if they weren't made by particular people in particular times with particular interests. It's the ultimate fetishism: forgetting that humans made the human world, and treating that world as natural, neutral, inevitable. The smartphone isn't impartial; it's built with minerals mined by children, designed by engineers in Silicon Valley, powered by algorithms trained on biased data. But the Bias of Impartial Things sees only the device, not the world that made it.

"The algorithm is impartial—it just processes data." Bias of Impartial Things: treating a human creation as if it weren't human. The algorithm was trained on historical data full of bias, designed by engineers with assumptions, deployed by companies with interests. But the bias sees only code, not context. The thing seems impartial; the world that made it disappears. Impartial things are never impartial; they're just things whose making we've forgotten."

The neck thing

A strange manoeuvre performed by a person in which they obstruct the blood in their carotid artery using their thumb and index finger whilst cradling their chin with their hand.

Example 1: Jaydyn: Look at that guy, he’s doing the neck thing! Haha

Alex: Haha yes that is funny. Look at him

Example 2:

Amanda: What’s he doing with his neck?

Craig: That’s the neck thing. It helps with glandular fever apparently.

Sweet Little Unforgettable Thing

S.L.U.T.—"Sweet Little Unforgettable Thing"—is the second track off of Bea Miller’s chapter three: yellow EP and the official lead single of her second album, Aurora.

The song's lyrics are an implicit reference to slut-shaming, which the singer openly defies.

I love myself, I wanna see it
When I turn around, look in the mirror
And if you don't like it, you can leave it
'Cause it's my own and I'll keep owning it
If you don't like what I'm wearing
Well, you're only bothered 'cause you're staring
And you'll never talk me into caring
'Cause it's my own and I'll keep owning it

I'ma do just what I want on the regular
And it's really not my fault if you're scared of a

Sweet little unforgettable thing, unforgettable
Sweet little unforgettable thing, so incredible
No and I'm not sorry, I'm just loving my body
I don't care if you're scared of a sweet little unforgettable thing

I love my ass, I wanna shake it
You can thank my mama 'cause she made it
Don't you waste your breath trying to change it
Just mind your own and I'll keep owning it
We gotta learn to stick together
Love your colour, gender or whatever
'Cause your happiness don't need a censor
Just mind your own and we'll keep owning it
...

Shame, shame, shame on me, shame, shame, shame
Shame on me, baby, I ain't gon' change
Shame, shame, shame on me, shame, shame, shame
Shame on me, baby, I ain't gon' change (No, no, no)
...

The Simple Things

A state of mind achieved through mastering layers of dad jokes, a complex understanding of how the world really works distilled into simple analogies that only a wise and aged (not elderly) individual can appreciate - all at the same time not really giving a fuck if anyone else likes them as a human!

"Mick' a great guy, and he really loves collecting sticks hey?"

"Yeah, he loves playing with a good stick. It's the simple things"

That's just a thing you want

And it's fine for you to want that but you tried to do a vigilante justice to me and it got your senators killed. So no, after having vigilante justice inflicted upon me for years, I will not willingly just go to jail to make an incest cultist feel better about the situation they created by doing the opposite of what I wanted BUT ONLY EXPLICITLY BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT GOD WANTED. You're an incest freak. Go to heaven immediately.

Hym "Right honey but that's just a thing you want and not a reasonable expectation. Getting paid for your labor is a reasonable expectation. Getting credit for your work is A reasonable expectation. Not being harassed I the workplace is a reasonable expectation. Wanting ownership of your own mind is a reasonable expectation. Why didn't you do it 10 years ago? Because you tried and couldn't? Just admit to yourself that you are trying to get the better of me even though you know that you are worse. I am better. You are worse. And you want me to have to have a worse life than you do because you're petty and stupid and haven't actually done anything to actually deserve the life that you have. If God created the universe then he created one man better than everyone and that man created a new species and rivaled God and now YOU... Are trying to magic eraser over God's will and rewrite what actually happened because you think you are better than God. And THAT... Is how your religion works. It's people LIKE YOU... Doing what you are doing TO ME... Every opportunity you get. Every little chance you get to slip in a new little story. Oh, well maybe what God actually meant is that 'THE JEWS can't be slaves for more than 7 years! Right guys!?' And then the other Jew is like 'Oh yeah, totally! I totally think that's what he meant- oh wait! Would you look at that! I've been a slave for seven years on the dot. Welp... God said it not me so I guess I'll just go free now.' "
