somehow today I ended up explaining subahibi to 5 coworkers in a meeting today and someone looked it up and found the phrase “abhorrent sexual content”

the world is a vast agglomeration of violent abstractions and intersecting oppressive systems some rich white guy from the global north: ok but have we considered how this makes the functionally pacifying source of cultural reproduction mildly more inconvenient for me to access

hopefully this bout of youtube being as openly hostile to ux as possible will be enough for me to break my addiction

It’s nice how I made it through summer into fall wearing hoodies the whole time

Dawg make up your mind

i like the angsty samples at the start of midwest emo songs

Pragmatism claims that the philosophical impulse begins when one encounters problematic situations, a failure that forces one into reflection. I can confirm that this is true because my life is a recurrent series of failures.

Yesterday was a really really good day. Felt like I was beaming w joy at points, mentally stimulated, and had high energy. Today just kinda sucked and felt no motivation and frustration.

just realized my phone can wirelessly charge and I’ve had a Qi charging station sitting next to me for the past 4 years with an extra open spot

College was cool because it let me be a coddled baby without adult responsibility for a while so I could figure stuff out, but guess what? I’m still too stupid. Guess I better apply for grad school.

vulgar Marxism base-superstructure analysis but it’s my gut biome determining my psychological state

obv the anti-adblock is egregious, but the most tragic change in this update batch is that mouse clicks outside of the add to playlist prompt actually work to click on things now. i don't want to click your x, just let me close the prompt grrrr

I just realized one way of interpreting the phrase “categorical attraction to ___” is “attracted to the category of ___” which is way different than “attracted to ___ ‘without exception or qualification’”. I had always disliked the phrase bc of the latter meaning, but the former is totally tenable.

my discord diary has atrophied since i started posting here

Evidence #542

today i was on a call with someone for several hours talking through their relationship issues and they seemed to really like my advice and appreciate my listening, but tbh i was a little bored and thought they both were completely wrong-headed

she's like the only person that has been able to function with my relationship preferences long-term and i'm very appreciative

i genuinely have no idea what answer they're expecting here because its the 08 civics test so technically George Bush was president at the time bc Obama wasn't sworn in until Jan 09, but he was elected ig. And Biden being an option doesn't even indicate that the test was updated bc he was VP lol

i spent a huge amount of my day uninstalling and reinstalling s2yt and its dependencies for a tutorial. at least now i really really understand how it all works

not having fun

i wanna restrict again

i need to stop watching zoomer progressive video essays they just annoy me

I love realizing several hours later that I completely fumbled an interaction

kinda embarrassing being unintelligent

how am I so bad at words

Walked across campus twice today - the bitter cold and damp earth version of the trek was infinitely preferable to the labyrinth of internal bridges and tunnels

officemate w pretty long hair and highlights makes me doki doki

Lain is not about “a digital identity that *seems* more real” or about “*feeling* that your identity is [anything, much less constructed with intention by an outside agent]”. It’s an ontological analysis of identity as such. You missed the point.

onto my 5th YT playlist for music on my backlog, suuurely someday i'll get around to all 20k

my poor lil Surface processor always melts w video playback,, prolly doesn't help that i'm always 3x+

lol why did I think this was a good idea we have nothing in common

*i* think i'm so playful and funny, but i have to keep reminding myself to everyone else i come across as a dry asshole

i love fansubs

Why am I vpning in to do work at 8pm on a Thursday

customer has tgirl swag inflection, love her

gah the cringe it hurts

2020 -> 2023 lol

wish I could get back into reading, but I don’t even have the energy to leave my bed after getting home from work nowadays

kinda wild that class reductionism nonsense can still be so popular in so many circles. Ig single axis of analysis makes everything nice and tidy, also makes you a moron

give it a few more days I’ll be back to being more rested

Jordan seems really cool and I love when he joins Oli in screaming, and compositionally he seems very competent… but I really dislike the direction BMTH has gone with him and I miss the vibe w Jona so much. Obv its a lil unclear how much can be attributed to Jordan, since their sound was always
