he’s at his best with punchy reorienting injunctions, and maybe the best i can do is to take his advice one last time and turn away rather than naysay on his terms
judith shklar is wrong that cruelty is the worst thing but it is really ugly and terrible, and it’s far more widespread than those who eschew micrological analysis are willing to admit
“erm guyz my api call didn’t work….”
what was the response
“MethodNotAllowed: The requested resource does not support method ‘GET’. Allowed: ‘POST’. pls help my family is dying i can’t figure out what to do”
yknow if we get cute with what we mean by consumption, and don’t treat marginal increase in income as isolated (i.e. as bound to employment in some form), you could make the case that i have a negative marginal propensity to consume
weird time where i don’t have a lot of doubts about how i feel and what i think, and the premature articulation is not confusing, merely undesirable and unnecessary
eh do you see what i mean? i can’t really say anything rn with backtracking all over myself, and im confident and comfortable in how i feel and what i mean but any expression is just warped and ripe for misunderstanding
fetishizing silence and distance in not my intent, and i care deeply about people, but not in a way that’s too sentimental. shrug i’ll make it work, appreciate the patience, i know it’s annoying
ah shoot i didn’t mean some extra secret clever thing by “sentimental” sorry.
though funny enough the quoted screenshot in root was my reaction upon seeing the post
it’s so funny because like my current mental is like “ok just lemme get home from this trip- oops i mean *this* trip- oops okay just wait for the weekend there’s too much going on at work- alright now gimme a sec to catch my breath- oops now two weeks of go-live grind- oops…”
sorry ig, maybe a few days more until you’ll get a reply, no guarantee it’ll be satisfactory. frankly i hope i forget i saw that. feels good to swap back to safety
also btw i keep making my mood seem more dour than is the case, it’s not as weighty, negative, nor proximately related as i’m letting on (but you knew this since the “misrepresenting” post). we’re chillin and i’m alright
is my violation of the categorical imperative mitigated by the fact that i instrumentalize myself in this process as well? (the answer is no on both counts: it of course doesn’t mitigate, but also isn’t a violation because i am not a “mere means” for myself, since it is in service of a rational end)
