I lost my streak on wordle recently and it made me realise that the streakification of society has been designed to keep our cortisol spiked. That's my new theory. "No you don't understand, I gotta look at my screen or I'll lose my streak on some random game that means literally nothing." BE FREE.

Having an internal monologue that talks like ChatGPT is one of the worst things I can imagine.

none of the entries are that good this year tbh

Modesty in dress is essentially impossible if you’re a woman. Modesty is about not bringing attention to yourself, but that is not achievable at all. No matter what you wear people will look. That’s one reason niqab is just pretentious virtue signalling in the west, how is it more modest to draw MORE attention to yourself by standing out that much? Generally i just feel like anyone who makes a point of being ‘modest’ is virtue signalling and seeking validation from other religious people typically.

i used to think this a lot when i was orthodox esp when the women would start wearing headscarves out in public just to flex on people. one of them decided that the most orthodox thing to do is to wear ukrainian folk outfits she ordered off of temu or whatever plus a headscarf (she was brazilian too?) and someone i know ran into her at a store and spotted her from halfway across the store because of it. it's literally more modest to wear jeans and a graphic t shirt than it is to wear potato sacks and weird shit on your head. bc no one is going to notice you in public when you're wearing jeans. no one will even remember you. everyone will remember the brazilian chick in a full ukrainian folk outfit with a hijab on though.
