anyways, "see" you all this time next week i guess. unless i snap before then and have to start making accommodations

i think i'm going to try to stay Off The Computer for a week or so and see what that does to my general state of being. or at least limit myself to like an hour a day or something

If man will strike, strike through the mask!

legitimately disturbing and disconcerting to be outside when its 7:00 pm and no sign whatsoever of darkness

i continue to enjoy nippon sangoku primarily because it does not seem to take itself seriously at all

the computer has evil tendrils in my brain

gonna have to break this habit sooner rather than later because it is definitely not going to work for writing my dissertation

one of my worst skills that i would rather not have is manifesting arguments right before a paper is due. if i didn't always vaguely expect to be able to do this i would start working seriously way sooner i think

quite plausible...

sit down in front of computer, become tired. get up from computer, no longer tired. reason?

they should make a europa universalis game that's good

i think i would be a lot better off if i used the time i am not working to actually relax instead of staring at the computer or what have you

it annoys me when people add alt text to something but it's just some sort of quip or joke that doesn't describe what's in the image at all. at that point you'd be better off not even bothering

its grim to see people posting screenshots of the google ai overview in ways that imply they use it as a source of information

In life but few of them would have helped the whale, I ween, if peradventure he had needed it; but upon the banquet of his funeral they most piously do pounce.

said "stuff" twice in one tweet award

the key to getting myself to work on my papers and stuff is apparently to forcefully remind myself that i actually like this stuff

im tired

it is showing me pornography and discourse

the alternative for you feed has become evil :(

i was planning to get up earlier than usual today, so i got to bed at like 8:30 (~2 hours before i typically do). but i still woke up at 7:30

ive been deliberately resting and taking things slowly lately in order to try to recuperate some from a couple of exhausting weeks but i havent been getting any less tired...

i really need to get to writing or at least planning about writing today

i got ice cream earlier because it was hot and i wanted ice cream and man is ice cream expensive. ten dollars for two scoops?

rise and grind parasites let's get those super wages

at five episodes into season 3 i feel like i can say firmly that to the extent that re:zero season one a) was good and b) appealed to my own tastes it did so only incidentally

nobody in the world cares about my opinions about re:zero but i will keep posting about them anyways

started re:zero s3. the reliance on villains who are Very Twisted and Insane is getting quite grating. betelgeuse was fine as a one-off (his backstory is totally unconvincing, by the way) but if every witch cult archbishop is going to be like that...

some might say that the word "slop" is an example of "wordslop"
