Tesseract Exception

Wait, listening to the same song on repeat is stimming?

I do not mean a normal amount of listening to the same song on repeat I mean that in October and November 2022 the only thing I listened to was Type O Negative's "Black No. 1" and I listened to it for 18 hours a day. This is, apparently, a kind of stimming.

*quietly hides the four playlists that I have that are just copies of one song from different recordings or releases*

To be clear I do not know what the normal amount is. When Large Bastard and I started dating I had a tape in my car with Tom Petty's "Dancing at the Zombie Zoo" on it that I knew exactly when to flip the other side (halfway through "Yer so Bad") so that I could flip it again and listen to Zombie Zoo again and I did that enough that Large Bastard still can't listen to Tom Petty and also it wore through the tape. So whatever normal is it is probably less than that.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MOST KIDS DON'T HAVE TO BE TRAINED OUT OF WALKING ON TIP TOES

When not wearing shoes, will you be wearing socks? "Always" and "never" are both very diagnostic here.

Well, you see, the answer to this is nuanced because I Have A System (said while groaning and putting my face in my hands).

When you're wearing headphones, nobody knows that you're listening to Knowledge Fight #685: Formulaic Objections Part 7 for the 40th time.

I mean to be fair this does coincide with working from home and it wouldn't be out of bounds to listen to the radio for 8 hours a day in an office environment. Technology just lets me reallllly fine tune what I'm listening to so that i don't have to listen to broadcast news (derogatory).

Character development happens in the prose more than in the dialogue.

When you say “Don’t be friends with people who have horribly wrong political views and values,” I (almost) hear “Don’t be friends with anyone.” Partly because everyone alive today has at least some horribly wrong political views and values. Our descendants will prove that.

i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"

every so often I do think fondly on Joe Biden's "at least three" response to being asked how many genders there are.

80s Girl Boss Joker is something I'd love to see. It would be incredible.

Sadly still relevant

this fetish stuff is getting out of hand what the fuck is word play
