sleep on the floor, dream about me

friend who thinks about family annihilators too much: you know if that guy also had kids he would be a family annihilator

friend who thinks about family annihilators too much: you don't get it, this is important because of how we as a society react to the crime. a guy who kills his wife is not seen as on the level of evil as a family annihilator even with the exact same pathology and potential. a lot of mass shooters had records of domestic violence but they were not considered such a threat until they escalated. why is hurting women never a warning sign? there is more concern over the future of a man who hurts an animal than one who hurts a woman. if he hurts an animal, he's acting like a serial killer. if he hurts a woman, it's one mistake that shouldn't ruin his life. do you ever think about that

i know i said i did not want to talk about the nolan odyssey but i do have one more nodyssey post in me. i actually think the idea of odysseus understanding his story as existing both in and out of a historic timeframe is a fun way to handle the liminality caused by the story being part of an extensive oral tradition. however having him say "our age of bronze is collapsing" is perhaps not the way i would have done that

people will say "ok maybe video games are art" but they're thinking of like, 2017 classic indie game that won awards for its storytelling and you'll be thinking of how Pitfall for Atari 2600 is as much art as any book and they'll think you're joking to make a point

if you catch me using "dude" or "man" please remind me of my solemn vow to decentre men in my personal language and then hit me with rocks or sticks or something

oh she ate

yeah, rodents i presume

the pwning of a sacred noob

"we need an economic incentive to create art" no you don't

"copyright and intellectual property laws exist to safeguard this" no they don't

someone sent me anon hate last night over this that was like "hope you enjoy the cruel, empty world you're creating" and i think insisting that art can only exist if intellectual property laws exist is a far dimmer view of the world than anything i could consciously propose
