okay wow looking at the public engagement on a trivial political issue (the cessation of the minting of the penny and its ramifications) has made me a doomer on public policy

this isn’t meant to be a targeted message i just wanted to type out my thoughts inspired by the thread and ensuing subtweets

i suppose this is more from the perspective of someone that is usually the person getting approached, so less hypocritical and more just not so practical advice because it’s usually not me doing the approaching but pleasantly surprised when it happens

sliding into dms implies a more immediate sexual tone and idrk about allat but in terms of just making a connection with an interesting person it’s pretty easy to just say whatever and if the other person is interested too there’s not very much pressure for perfection

i’m potentially a little bit of a hypocrite in this regard, but in most cases i don’t really mind parasociality so i’m content with inaction (probably excessively so)

then there are more established relationships that are still figuring out what desirable interaction looks like and there might be some reluctance because of that, but that’s a separate problem

my face has gotten a lot more round

i have a weirdly strong parasocial relationship with annie

in my defense she's cool, who else is out here still bumping polearm selfish in the big 26

okay but that’s literally like one of the only good songs he’s ever made so

to a lesser extent swallowbug too

they even made the cut with kasey

giving weatherday another try and i still just don't think it's my thing. a few standouts here and there (green tea seaweed sea my beloved) but by and large it doesn't speak to me

a season of slow expansion and the feat of losing the small momentum it does have

i dont really understand how switching contexts from office to home tires me out so much, my mind feels so slow

tree tabs are so nice for exploration

i wish there existed a way to capture this influence in other contexts. this footnote led me here, this film led me there, this person inspired me to think these ways. my only gripe is that this is one-directional and a particular slice, difficult to capture multiply determined or spiraled paths

this is precisely what you need at times! sometimes other information can be obscuring noise, and i wouldn't want to lose the sharpness

in a similar way to 2nd wave emo having skramz and midwest emo poles, 5th wave emo has a more electronic/experimental pole and a more revival/traditional pole

it’s still one of those things where it’s too early for the dust to have settled but still

thats also the interesting thing about choosing the temporal dimension to categorize, it’s easy to misattribute homogeneity

i’ve not really ever been worried about being “fundamentally unloveable”, mostly because i didn’t have a stable enough identity to attribute immutable properties to

“this personality iteration is kind of annoying and the path to next one is kind of unclear”

i also imagine it helps that i’ve basically always had a long term partner that loves me through all my episodes of crises lol

oops >.>

a really awesome and not at all annoying design trend: make everything absurdly large and make information density as low as possible

i'm not like a functionalist purist or anything but it gets to a point where its an impediment to accomplishing anything while also being ugly as balls

i've started zooming out a bunch of sites to 80 or 90% just so i can see anything

i want a slime gf to absorb me overnight so i can get a restful sleep all curled up inside her

23 is too many albums sorry

more like the mountain gays

it’s giving

"c-fibers" "qualia" "neurological subroutine correlates"

the only thing worse than ai ethics is ai philosophy of mind

i have philosophy honfidence

hm embarrassed

incelcore artists when they get a gf

i get why’d people use spotify if it weren’t evil

it’s important to keep a bit of the spirit of the categorical imperative alive

engels invented false consciousness talking to franz mehring

skinner my hermeneutic meow meow

i have retrieved the blanket from kaseys office

the brutality with which programs take focus is masculine

/neg fuck you

and they have, naturally
