i’m bout to lose this war of attrition and pick another service fr

how are these plants so fckn cute

earnestness is problematic? sounds like a them-problem

(i can’t account for what gets called racist online; most of it doesn’t even fall under the category of race)

fwiw i earnestly hope to keep seeing earnestposts

good intel to have

i may casually refer to you as Cinco de Tortle in the future

my ick is that it sounds like Applause Lights Incorporated

like, let’s pick three words everybody likes and nobody has any reason to investigate for horrifying acts of evil

both a cause & a consequence of it too

smart but gullible person: “oh these frames are pre-approved!” > stops adjusting course > becomes duped

unsmart person: “oh these frames are pre-approved!” > continues not checking senses > remains duped

yeah same here & I cherish that. otoh I mean something completely distinct from what most adults mean by “age appropriate.” something closer to kegan/wilber “stage appropriate”

eg postmodernism when flattened to a premodern perspective is a development-halting poison

yikes that’s fucked

but also, seems like that problem originates in the mind?

e.g. I wouldn’t worry about a mature 30yo friend reading foucalt that they’d imbibe his ideas about underage sex, but absolutely would worry ab an avg 20yo

counterpoint: hard questions get deeper engagement and quality>quantity is a good vibe setting

this is wise. there are memeplexes that can absolutely ruin a mind that’s introduced to them at a premature stage

why do we have ‘mistrust’ and ‘distrust’ as synonyms but no word for ‘erroneously trust’

nature is profligate 🫀

I like being a face but I miss being a cartoon archetype

not that I don’t want to listen to 400 hours of my own rambling audio journaling (but the primary use was just recording it)

there are two exact opposite ways to use divination and only one of them increases your agency, so

if you follow >5,000 I’m not even reading your profile

there’s also this dimension where you set your disposition just so

like ‘I believe’ and also ‘whatevs’

I’d love this too but I’ve also been on the inside looking out, and as a community member you can’t tel what ppl are good at or feel inspired by, so you’re waiting for them to offer

gotta start w you doing what you love ig 🤷‍♂️

sounds hot tbh

lfgoooo

eating lunch outside and looking out at this

you meet someone and feel instant chemistry, have effortless deep conversations, and discover big shared values — but you come from vastly different cultures and live overseas from each other. what’s the sane adult response to such a connection?

me n who (for both pics)

no heuristic, just vibe attunement

me all the time

just start them all, read whatever you’re in the mood for, forget everything they taught you in school it’ll be ok

mosquitos can bite through jeans now they’re leveling up

character limits are infrastructure
