oh wait Harris was included here, it was obviously updated duh

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

literally wtf does this mean

well i figured it out

ok i got 100 but like some of these questions are completely unreasonable and i know most US citizens don't know this stuff

lol yeah

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

this is my favorite figure out of context lol

reading a few of the reviews of Otaku JDP, it seems like a lot of people are missing the point that he's analyzing a new mode of *consumption*. sure, the objects lend themselves to this consumption, as a whole subculture has been created around it, but that doesn't mean that every work will be.

I don't think theoretically the book exactly hits the mark, but it's a constructive stumble in the right direction. I think there's charm in using Kojeve's footnote but I don't think its the most productive ground to start from

not having fun

should have said 'critique' instead of 'analysis' also i don't love the tone i used here

i wanna restrict again

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

i guess it's just average undergrad essay + theatre but the smugness + pop culture references + "entertainment" + circle jerk nonsense + vague references to books they haven't read makes it unbearable. it's very thinly veiled in-group affirmation and not much else

me: complains about being stupid also me: spends all my time doing worthless mind numbing things

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

And it’s not like a one off thing either, it happens so frequently that’s it’s likely just the default perspective on me

kinda embarrassing being unintelligent

how am I so bad at words

⚠️this poster is a part of the labor aristocracy⚠️

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.

Paranoid or sad is mostly irrelevant, though paranoid is slightly more apt. Again though, the art itself has a status of <feeling>, it’s not about <feeling>-inducement in the audience.

Also clearly it’s fine to interpret aesthetic experiences however you wish, but the more straightforward interpretations of lain are pretty uninspired and drab

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

the answer is I really enjoy working w software and learning stuff even if under somewhat compromised circumstances

wish mint had better touchpad gestures

Yoo I should rewatch bakugan anime

i’m kinda surprised the torrents aren’t really maintained at all, i feel like i would expect more diehard fans,, tho ig it was all marketed towards stupid kids with too much money so it makes sense they wouldn’t convert

The answer is simple - it is incumbent on me to donate my bandwidth to the cause of loser white boys from the burbs re-living their childhood

hooooooly fucking shit I’m so hype omgomg this intro oh my god yes It’s so bad I love it aaaaa the memories

what going on w the mom tho o_O

Also I genuinely have no idea if I watched these in order as a kid, it was still DVR dayz. I would defi tune in every week at some point, but I don’t remember when I picked up consistently

But it's hard when I don't know what to do I'm angry and I'm tired and confused I've got so many thoughts stuck in my head And none of them make much sense And your tears went down your face into my eyes I'm sorry and I hate myself this time
