Whoop Here I am

also I don't think parents "these days" are uniquely terrible, I just think neglect is showing up in new ways as technology progresses. today's ipad kid would've been wandering around in a ditch alone all day and night before. parents not wanting to have to deal with children is not a new phenomenon.

you solve the mystery of what to have for dinner one night and you think "hell yeah case closed forever" WRONG there is a dinner mystery the next night too

You understand that the point of writing papers isn’t just to have a paper with words on it, right? You understand that the entire point is to do the mental work necessary to put your learning into organized words, such that you actually learn it? And that if you outsource that to AI you are not learning?

i’m sick and tired of everyone beating around the bush as to why ships like melfrank or sydcarmy or even fucking. garcia and morgan from goddamn criminal minds and the like get the ‘why can’t two people just be friends/i think it’s important to highlight platonic male/female friendships/asexual representation!’ treatment. like ok sure yeah let’s get some asexuals in here lets let ppl be friends lets show a platonic friendship between a man and a woman. why this one though. what is it about this man. what is it about this woman. stop beating around the bush. say it out loud!

Im always like "i will not add my two cents. i will not add my two cents" but i cant lie the pennies are getting sweaty in my hand

humiliating to be attracted to a conventionally attractive person. I thought I was a more sensitive and refined pervert than this

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

I still believe that the harbingers of the tech decline were MP3 players prioritizing streaming instead of making it easy to upload music to a library, and Apple removing the headphone jack. Those things led directly to the whole idea of not owning the media you bought.

The lion lowkey concerns himself a little bit

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"
