i'm seen as an "authority in science" very often, so this has actually happened more than once. kids come to me to try to basically say "god can still exist within our modern understanding"
which is true!
but their arguments are often very flawed, so i tactfully have to break them apart
sometimes i genuinely forget some people don't believe in natural selection
the other day i was explaining the standard model of particle physics to some kid and he somehow drifted the conversation into "ribcages are perfect so they disprove natural selection" (?)
i had to explain how they didn't
after 7 years, 1000 people gathered to watch him go live again
a lot happens in 7 years - a lot of good, a lot of bad
still, 1000 of us gathered in the same digital space. to talk about DK, Pokemon and silly stream memes we shared
it's kinda beautiful in a way
after everything, it's still us
i get weirdly emotional at the intro song when i rewatch the first mikepanoots comeback stream. i think it might be from outer wilds
but idk man. i waited for almost 7 years thinking he'd never return.
i won't get into the nuances of gun control because i live in a place where there is a genuine argument for citizens to own guns (with the govt failing to guarantee citizen's safety). it's just shocking to see americans with military grade assault. or firearms in walmart. i dunno, man.
i remembered because i saw a post that was like "immigrants were allowed to do what???" which was quoting some news about immigrants being drivers
sometimes i feel like "americans are allowed to own WHAT????"
it's just so odd to me
i'm sorry to my american followers, but sometimes i remember the interaction between those two guys where one guy made a video with his gun so the other guy responded showing he had a bigger gun and i'm like...
that sure was an american interaction
i don't get people who don't like to drink water
my grade is currently 20 points above the average and i still feel i need to push myself harder
Maybe my academic perfectionism comes from years of emotional abuse
hmmm
moreover - i kinda feel this is meant to mock Watchmen as a whole?
the comedian is a hugely important character in watchmen. when he discovers the plan, part of his breakdown is that it was going to work
the comedian then accepted his fate.
the nature and results of the plan broke the comedian
part of the point of watchmen is that the masked heroes are just people in masks - no one but Dr. Manhattan has actual powers
(and the psychics mentioned in the plot, but you know)
you have no idea how much i hate that watchmen was made part of the DC multiverse
no hate towards DC - I don't really know comics
but Watchmen is such a masterpiece of storytelling that I feel it is cheapend by "it's part of this much larger thing with crazy alien superheros"
"lex luthor later mocks ozymandias for thinking his plan was going to work"
this sentence still gives me so much psychic damage
i am going to bomb my saturday quiz
New DW theme song just dropped

Exact words btw because I've always been the "embarassment child".
Me: *Tells strangers about my daily schedule*
Strangers: Damn, how do you do all that?
Me: *Tells my mom about my daily schedule*
Mom: Will you push yourself hard for once in your entire life? Your sister this and that and this and that...
You can't make this shit up man.
You can make your "AI film" look as good as you want, and I'll accept it "looks good".
But I simply won't say you "made art" because it's just not art. You told a machine to put stuff together.
Heating up a Hot Pocket is not the same as cooking a Hot Pocket. No matter how tasty.
I will never accept AI stuff as art. AI bros need to realize the problem is not it "looking good" but what it "represents".
Art is an expression of life. It is inherently tied to the biological process of interpreting reality. A machine cannot do that by nature.
Aesthetics are secondary to me.
i really dislike "explain why" questions in math-focused exams because, how deep do you go? do you want me to talk about the identities, or should i go all the way to axioms?
i'd rather they ask for mathematical proofs rather than "explain".
kinda? there were some "explain why" questions that i knew how to explain, but who knows if the grader will agree that my explanation is deep enough.
it was really fucking long, unreasonably so
like, questions that ask for the same concept again
I still remember how much it struck me to find out Irony was originally released in one of my birthdays.
Not to be so "just like me fr fr" but it's kinda crazy how much I still feel like the song, even today

i swear i am a busy person
is there a name for a "they showed me so many ads of this product that i decided to avoid it like the plague"?
it happens to me a lot
currently in that state of "well, this test should be easy... but what if that means the professor will make it really fucking hard?"
worst state
Please leave me be.
