I AM QUITE LITERALLY ALWAYS SAYING THIS
https://dreary.dev/blog/playlist-auto-ethnography/
It's clear the purpose for making playlists is not primarily about them appreciating what I share, and in some ways directly having an interaction or conversation about what I had shared would spoil it for me. I want to have this minimal act of creation that allows me to externalize my feelings about a person without requiring direct social interaction. Once this creation exists it serves a variety of distinct but highly related functions: a repository for videos and music that I associate with a significant person in my life, allows me to reaffirm myself and the things I enjoy, recontextualizes existing aesthetic associations (for instance, I have very different emotional engagement with the same song that is placed in *G, *J, and *K), and offers a space for me to think about a significant person in my life and reflect on our relationship.



that can't be right...

yooooo hype hype hype

i like how your mind is :)

i think your pov here is especially interesting considering you're one of the rare people to see a significantly out-of-character willow argument live

yea, it's not great and the drudgery can be a bit demotivating. tho nonetheless i look back on it as an intellectually stimulating environment (usually by accident) with more free time (at least comparatively to now)

but thats coming from the privileged perspective where my education was paid for by my parents (and i didn't have to work during) so the question of it being "worth" it didn't really arise. most degrees tho will make financial sense in the long run still, but that doesn't speak much to enjoyment



i've seen horrors beyond your imagination dame... or at least my good friend katarina has


you are a fool and your hubris will bring shame to the village. it is literally impossible to index 1000 repos per second.

i wonder if negging works as motivation for david 🤔

my appview backfiller could average 150 repos per second compared to your 5ish

tho in fairness if you take her at her word its more like "uncomfortable with ~~their own~~ identity" the argument is whether or not that's a valid move ;)

this is such an ncs-coded pic

i think about this anecdote a lot from geuss, and recognize myself quite a bit. one of the reasons i appreciate kasey's familiarity with me is that she's grown accustomed to this and treats my statements with the appropriate amount of distance.
raymond geuss, who needs a world view, pg 34
As I said above, I lost contact with Krigler when he moved so far west as to be outside my ken. One might think that, in parallel to that, I lost touch with Sidney, because I moved so far east (to Cambridge) that our worlds could no longer intersect. That, however, would not be the whole truth. If one thinks that it is a central part of pragmatism to value actions, deeds, real changes, rather than mere words, Sidney had always been a rather odd kind of pragmatist, in that for him the spoken word was everything. He could (and did) talk about anything; argue one side of an issue, then change and argue the other, reversing positions immediately, elegantly, and at will; assimilate any new perspective; counter, deflect, or rebut any objection, or accept it and suggest revisions of the original position that had been criticised. He was an absolute master of all of this. It was his
raymond geuss, who needs a world view, pg 35
way of keeping the world at a safe distance. You could say anything to him and it was all grist for his mill. However, although spoken words were everything, also, in an odd way, they were nothing. They weren’t real, but part of an autonomous realm of discourse, and did not necessarily lead to deeds or consequences. One could also, when talking with him, sometimes get the sense of being caught in a web of words: one could say anything precisely because the words did not really count; they were mere speech. Sidney and I eventually had a terminal falling out, ostensibly about the appointment of a new member to the academic department of which we were both members. He supported the appointment and I opposed it. After a very long and very acrimonious series of debates, interviews, and discussions in the department and the university, the decision was taken to make the appointment. This was disappointing, but it was the sort of thing that happens in human life and which one must deal with as best one can. The fact that Sidney and I were on opposite sides of what I took to be an extremely serious matter also did not bother me terribly—we often disagreed; what could be more usual among philosophers? One might even say it was our natural state, as the joke had it: two philosophers, three opinions. However, the day after the final vote, he came up to me and tried to suggest that life would now simply go on as before; this infuriated me. In my view, this had not just been one further turn in the argument, that could be countered or reversed by another dialectical twist, but an actual decision had been made which had consequence that changed reality.
raymond geuss, who needs a world view, pg 36
I made the countersuggestion to him that if he wished things to remain as they had been, he should write to the provost immediately and say that we, the members of the department, had not really intended to make a decision and needed more time for further discussion; then life could continue as before. When he started explaining evasively and interminably why he was not willing to do this, I lost my temper and took the nuclear option, doing the one thing I knew he would find it difficult to construe as a mere move in a verbal game or which he could make disappear by verbal redescription: I told him I was not going to talk to him anymore. If I had been less angry, I might have responded more positively to his no doubt genuine desire that we stay on good terms. Since I am not, and have never been, a Kantian, I never attribute special value to the consistency of action per se; however, since I was able to arrange an almost immediate change in my affiliation to a dif­ferent academic department, and soon after emigrated to Britain, we never in fact had another conversation. Thus, I don’t know, and never will know, whether he actually took the point I was trying to make to him: that speech sometimes has real consequences.

which is crucially not to say that she doesn't take me seriously, just that she's aware from experience that my adherence to the espoused proposition is minimal relative to the standard speaker, and that moments later i will likely be flirting with the opposite perspective.

i have always been a bit alienated by geuss' action here; not in that it's wrong in any sense, merely that i couldn't see myself carrying it out (after gail). a younger me, maybe, but i don't often lapse into righteous indignation any more; it's more likely i'm open to criticism of being too lax

finally, there's also this bothersome habit i have with my contextualist adherence where i can appear to be giving contradictory takes on the exact same issue; my response will of course be montaigne's :)

to be self aggrandizing to an obnoxious degree: ppl that don't behave like this often come across to me as fanatically dogmatic and confusing, although my same perspectivism makes it so i usually don't mind too much

*technically i had started but it hadn’t kicked in yet

you have your own vibe and your interactions are very fitting tho your poasting is so many standard deviations above the mean it kinda overshadows everything else

i should post every time someone gushes about me at work so all my whining about employment looks increasingly absurd

jokes on everyone, this was actually elaborate bait to get more attention on the cool thing chloe did and it’s working perfectly
