glitches in the code or gaps in a strange dream

reaction images (text!) that dates back to 1999 doesn't it, already discussing how email was the worst protocol except for all the others.

By the early 2000s on Slashdot people were already referring to it as “spam.txt” in lieu of posting the entire thing; the practice of referring to in-jokes by their filename predates 4chan by many years.

email really is the seductive local minimum in the messaging landscape, bizarre that we still use it but even stranger if we stopped.

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

digital selfharm is real. do NOT check up on that ex-partner/ex-friend. do NOT reread those old messages/conversations that you know will hurt your feelings all over again or that will otherwise make you feel like shit. do NOT block evade to see if you’re being talked about. inhale. exhale. let it pass and you’ll be better for it.

ive never been able to take "climb him like a tree" as a sexual innuendo seriously because i picture climbing a tree in my mind and then i picture a tall man in my mind and when i put those two things together im not seeing anything sexual. im seeing like. circus tricks.

need a hat that says I WONT SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TO AND ITS NOT BECAUSE IM DISINTERESTED AND DONT LIKE YOU I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND SOCIAL INTERACTION AS WELL AS MOST PEOPLE AND ASSUME BY DEFAULT MY PRESENCE IS UNWELCOME AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE SO I KEEP TO MYSELF BUT I DONT MIND IF YOU INITIATE so i can wear it to work

god it would be awesome if the human brain could just ignore an upsetting thing instead of constantly wandering back to it for no fucking reason

literally every problem i've had in my adult life has been solved by open and honest communication. which is fucking stupid, first of all

like i can't even just a little bit solve my problems with wanton violence? for real??

i'm like a caricature in a children's show. "and then Whimsy took a deep breath, made a few polite phonecalls, and everything resolved itself 🥰" fucking hell man when do i get to punch someone hard as fuck in the jaw

u ever read a fanfic so good that you want. fanfic of the fanfic

It is so fucking hot. The "real feel" today was something like 106. It's supposed to be worse tomorrow and Wednesday. Slight break on Thursday back to what it was today and maybe actual weather below 90 on Friday. The AC unit in my apartment broke and the absolute soonest I can get a replacement is Friday if I start returning the other one right now. I might melt before this week is over.

the issue with growing up in the 2000s and 2010s was like there was this really big push toward "accepting your weirdness" overall but they meant like idk wearing mismatched socks or something not being tangibly beyond the norm in any way shape or form

wait ok this is actually one that has caused some contention before when I've talked to people about it. reblog and tag whether or not you check the weather prediction every day before going out

you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself
