im so fucking stupid

EVERYONE GET KINDER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! GET NICER!!!!!!!!!! GET MORE LOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Living in the suburbs is just a combination of all the bad parts of rural and urban life with none of the good parts. Your house is a million miles away from every convenience and all of your friends and yet you're still surrounded by crowds of assholes, still subject to arbitrary and incomprehensible rules, still can't listen to loud music at night, and there's not even vast wastes to get lost in or beasts to look at

All the inconvenience of having to drive into the next county for groceries but you can't even piss in the yard or be naked on the porch

Any time you feel like you’re behind (especially if you’re in your 20s, but this applies to literally anyone) just look yourself in the mirror and be like “boo hoo you didn’t peak when u were 17. So sad. Whatever shall u do” and I promise u will instantly feel so silly for ever worrying about it

they got married btw

forever thinking about that girl at my uni orientation who, after being told to pour out her water bottle before entering an event, looked at me and said "they tell us to stay hydrated and then make us pour out our water, this is like totally kafkaesque" and then poured out what was very obviously an entire water bottle full of whiskey. hope she's doing well.

This stupid exchange between friends has become a cultural icon.

It's fascinating (and infuriating) to live in an age where almost everyone I know is languishing in Dickensian poverty but social media is slap full of professional-managerial computer-touchers who've never known hunger insisting that the economy is fine because their metrics say rich people are still rich.

A bad economist and a bad engineer are often bad in the same way; they're both people who, when reality doesn't conform to the model, decide to get mad at reality instead of adjusting the model

And they kill people
