cat in the machine

I think the absolute worst term to come out of this age of pseudo-scientific puritanical bullshit has got to be “dopamine addiction”. “You’re addicted to feeling good and having fun” bitch yeah???? What else are we on this earth to do??

i feel dopamine when I do those things. They make me happy just sitting there with a drink though.

Getting up on my gay little soapbox again to remind everyone that prev is correct. Dopamine is not a chemical that is only released when you are overstimulated by Media Consumption or whatever. You can get a dopamine hit from sitting calmly in the dark and watching the rain. It is a pleasure chemical, not a Capitalism Chemical. Stop conflating “pleasure” with “being constantly busy and unable to tear yourself away from scrolling social media”. I hate social media and I love being alone with my thoughts. If you’re unable to experience joy in everyday life you probably need to be on antidepressants. That’s not me trying to be dismissive I’m speaking from experience.

The thing is you can have a grassy lawn or even a golf course without it being an ecological disaster, you just have to a: be cool about having the occasional non-grass plant in the mix and b: be willing to live in a climate that supports grass without irrigation.

Isn't the point of a honeymoon suite that you're supposed to fuck nasty in it? Who's fucking nasty in that grey hellscape

i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny

Feels like they’re putting less meat in the hot pockets these days

only one way to fix this

By seizing the means of production so the rich can stop producing smaller amounts for higher prices?

why didn't you say this before i buirnd my bits

Wait, so you’re telling me today’s the 4th? What’s next, the 5th? The minor fall? The major lift?

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
