is it endearing or embarrassing when you realize you're parroting things someone said ages ago

I'm choosing to believe the former because it means they convinced you to the extent that their thoughts are now your thoughts i suppose even the evaluation of that fact depends on how you feel about them, and the fact i find it endearing means i find them endearing

a kademlia lexicon day

:/

incredible copypasta just dropped

There are no universals, not for humans any more than, say, an oak tree. Each concrete, empirical oak tree is a unique solution to the same problematic field. Each individual oak is a singularity, there is no shared essence necessary to explain oak trees, nor humans.

who up being a concrete empirical unique solution to the same problematic field

there's something about getting stabbed in the mouth for an hour that really tires me out

honestly i think the drive there and back was worse

my officemate took down their black lives matter poster, woke is over

home infusion for dogs

don't let the album date from root fool you, i absolutely stole the sentiment for that post

i don't like seeing that pfp, i don't like who i was. i suppose that's just expressing another kind of avoidance but i think part of the point of this thread is that there can be productive avoidance too, at least temporarily

i didn't understand this when it came out but i get it more now

in the past i mistook exhilaration for peace

you were young

the distaste for exuberance as well as its foil in melancholy self-indulgent despair is one of the better transformations of last year

i still feel things strongly and i don't think that needs to be abandoned but its manifestation had to. flimsy and fairweather is no way to live

playlists allowing duplicate insertions but being idempotent on removal is like the worst pairing

i get the technical reason behind it because they don't want to enumerate all playlists on launch since it would scale poorly and their api isn't that smart for the ui to have something reasonable to display to the user

apple music android is kind of more aware, i wonder how they do it

but the removal piece could still be done way better

the boy with curly hair wasn't as confused as he made himself out to be

i fw its deletion tbh, overdue in some ways and i hope it helps you clear your head

i was just thinking about how miserable keeping all history is, especially in a reverential way

kasey makes me giggle lots, i love her so munch

i think i just need to be more careful about the implications of my emotions, and not to trick myself or others into interpreting them as unconditional or permanent

there can be a lot of slippage between espoused propositions and the objective character of ones actions, and retreat to the former as a defense for the latter is simply untenable and cowardly. in the beginning was the deed

anyway these are outdated and untimely meditations, but ill allow myself to repeat them once more

do you wanna call sometime? i miss you

i feel a different kind of discomfort with the phrase to what was expressed here, but it's discomfort nonetheless. i don't want to be so excitable and enthusiastic

"i miss..." yes you do but i wish you wouldn't say so

my tealfm records waaaaa bsky.app/profile/hail...

i should migrate them off the bl*cksky account anyway

i contribute too much myself, i know

there's too much derision in the world and i know it's often necessary but it still hurts to see

crying in my office over the concept of cruelty

i deactivated my other bsky accounts and moved the public discord app off my home screen in an attempt to chill out a bit on social and i folded immediately

i gotta stop recreating records and just deal with the typos, someone always likes it before i can fix them

the annoying thing is when you finally get on the call you're just their emotional support animal / therapist, and not even anything juicy

i'm being held at gunpoint to perform emotional labor and they don't even have the decency to divulge details about their boyfriend, instead i just hear about how much they hate their job

i should go on a run or something my joints feel miserable after sitting so long

i respect the programmer more

relationship anarchist turned object oriented programmer finds new reason to hate tight coupling

every analyst in the world desperately needs to meet with me on their high priority ticket that needs to be moved into production tomorrow

once you start noticing the pointer cursor you can't stop, it bugs me now

mary has cursed me

the introspection is excessively dense too, can't get stuck here

at least i know what to look out for now
