I need a big holiday and JP is cheap :') but I'm inadvertently catching basically my favourite band because they announced a tour while I'm there

If it's relevant to anyone, I'll be in Japan for a good amount of June

Australia and New Zealand - with loving hostility you've been begging us to come to your continent and now it's REALLY happening. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Friday) 10AM AEST. hit chatpile.net/shows for tix.

And I'm like what? Men who like cereal?

Person: yeah they're usually man children and [other derogatory things]

And then my immediate response is always, what is this? What are you talking about? Why do you care about this subject and this random generalisation? What the fuck are you saying?

It's almost always some weird niche argument or opinion from social media that they've parroted. But I've never even heard of any of this viewpoint so the sudden ferocity is kind of shocking.

Example: talking with someone recently and they suddenly get aggravated about men who like eating cereal

Since I've been out of the social media zeitgeist for a while, I've started to observe something kind of odd. Oftentimes when I'm speaking with someone, there can be a suddenly incredibly strong, biting, nearly vitriolic opinion on something kind of random. And then when I ask where this came from -

This is the best gift I've ever received. An original animation cel from the first GITS film

True but where's the parasocial in that

I'm bricked up with posts but I can't do it man these tech schlubs don't deserve my posting mastery

I still want to use the internet but I don't want my thoughts and feelings beamed into the database of some fucking tech bro gazillionaire so instead I have to make posts in my brain

Every Australian and their dog goes to JP because it's geographically close, high chance you'll see all us damn aussiez at your jp shows

Adjusting my Osaka trip to get in on this ♥️ if you go to Australia too (not horrifically far away) I can come back to my house and see you AGAIN!

Wtf remember how in school you got unlimited sick days. That was so vastly underrated

This was a professional who told me this ;_;

Another church night

I'm not too far into Romeo is a Dead Man, but I think my prevailing thought would be; "if your game is style over substance, the style needs to have substance"

Epstein files artificial scarcity

Silicon valley wages go crazy though

"digestible" lol

The second sentence reads like a PR/media release lol. What a weird thing for someone completely not involved in the production to say

I liked this a lot. A bit overly quippy but had great perspectives on "happiness", and how it's normal to not be, because no one in history really has been consistently happy. It's fleeting and occasional but marketing and societal expectations means we think it should be constant and consistent

It's odd that I'm seeing online conversations bemoaning having to inherit dinner plates from older generations when they pass, and how meaningless and worthless they are. But large swathes of our younger generations are literally buying unrecyclable plastic in the shape of Miku Hatsune.

I love battle of gods, probably more than the next guy, but holy fuck stop remaking it please it was insane to have even remade it once !!

Get soggy with it

Love listening 2 monkeys spinning monkeys

Imagine... A beautiful woman tells you to get into a circle pit. You lose your fitbit. It's okay. She's in the pit too

Yeah... We need something just like McDonald's that's hyper palatable but has all the good macros for human consumption

Too many fucking cat food options man can I just get the one for him that's yummyyyyyyyy and makes him happy :)

Church night
