In the words of some guy who probably said something similar, "Context is everything." You can say "back that up for me" to your tech support, but there are a number of circumstances where it wouldn't be appropriate! But context isn't just about wacky misunderstandings, it is all about how the individual moments of our lives can make absolutely no sense when taken out of their proper context.

I'm sure there's a completely legitimate context for this k-pop singer saying that!

Likewise, I'm sure there's a totally understandable reason this passage is in Harry Potter!

I mean, uh, who... who hasn't been inside a giant tennis ball?

    So young to go through a gender transition

    So brave

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    I have written a song that will [hopefully] be played at a friend's wedding reception

    I somehow worked in references to Mortal Kombat and this:

    That is not a good cover. Is print journalism really so hard up they can't employ someone with both design and photoshop skills?

    A goofy image of a dude with a VR headset on is fair game, but what is up with that weird beach stock picture in the background?

    this is why people who build vr headsets should also build an accompanying full body powersuit

    hide a tree within a forest etc etc

    My roommate's dog is sleeping on my bed. Should I kick him off and send him back to his owner's room? I don't want to but what if the roommate's feelings are hurt?

    I can't ask directly because that sounds uncomfortable.

    I think if the dog is allowed to sleep on your bed, feelings can't be hurt if the dog decides to do that
