really?

oh holy shit that’s where all the discourse is coming from

I figure! I just feel bad you have to do it at all

My hot take is that the median social system breaks under too much optimization pressure, and we should stop trying to optimize things

yeah I have this problem a lot but I’ve decided I get one piece of being kind of annoying today because the other guy started it

Congratulations acting SecNav Malleus Maleficarum

I need things to stop happening when I put my phone down

I hate the ping so much

honestly yes

I’m taking a run at becoming Caroline Calloway (THIS IS A JOKE)

Don't schedule posts!

Doctor to patient: "Try to reduce your stress level, and if you somehow succeed please let me know how in God's name you did it."

I thought this felt relatable

It features three cats with intricate, unique patterns on their bodies. The artist notes that these are manually embroidered and sometimes sold with baby cats included. The designs are often inspired by traditional art patterns like folk embroidery or floral themes.

Me trying to blow a medieval peasant’s mind: and the downloadable content for the game was actually already on the disc you were just paying to unlock it

Peasant(chewing the gas station beef jerky I gave him): I saw the cobbler’s wife kissing Satan’s asshole in the forest

Me (mind blown): waaaaaa

right! there’s people where I’m like, I wish you all the best but also I don’t know you like that

RAM prices got me like

POKOPIA: Hello Eevee 🥰 I made you a beautiful home inspired by the Spanish Riviera. Please do not think of your Very Dead By Now Trainer. here is a gamer bed

TOMODACHI: Asuka and Crazy Frog are getting divorced!!!! fucking nice

caves of qud

it won’t be unfortunately

I don’t like it and that’s good enough for me!

I have always been significantly better informed because of Tommy’s work and I feel very bad for him that he is being slowly tortured by having to explain all of [waves hands] this instead of more A* best practice analysis, but you should read and support his work anyway

its actually completely impossible to formulate a take on Invisible Cities that doesnt sound obviously idiotic and tragically misled to at least 85% of people who read it

exactly this. you could be having more fun doing many other things

also there’s a quadrant I think with “I like / don’t like X as a friend” & “I would / would not want to work with X as a colleague”. I have friends I wouldn’t rec for some jobs; & also just because I don’t vibe with someone doesn’t mean I wouldn’t work with them or put them forward for a job

yeah this is exactly the same for me

yes absolutely. also there is a difference between being friendly and friends and that’s fine—friends implies a degree of closeness or reciprocity that isn’t possible to have for everyone. I can respect someone as a colleague without getting involved in their life & vice versa with them in mine

I DON’T KNOW

sorry I fucked up it’s tomorrow

sorry I got this wrong, tomorrow

oops
