"A ship can never truly love an anchor." dude shut up. a ship without an anchor gets dashed against the rocks. it's useless, completely at the whim of the currents. a ship loves an anchor so much it carries it everywhere it goes. the anchor gives the ship the world to love. dude.

my aesthetic is students at the library who have all their study materials out but are blatantly Not Studying

you see perry the platypus when I pull this lever it will scan the brains of everyone in the tristate area and automatically give free HRT to every trans person, driving local gender affirming centers out of business, and then I can buy all their medical equipment at a severely discounted price and dismantle it for aa batteries. my wii remotes are dead

they really are out here wasting gold, copper, pcb, and all sorts of tech resources just to overcomplicate and Reinvent the Window

This is like the best admission I've ever heard that prison sentences are about fucked up torture rather than keeping dangerous people out of society.

There's literally an entire Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode about how effed up this concept is.

Black Mirror literally did an episode about this kind of technology. It’s insane.

On one hand I get that the push to move out is driven by like, nuclear family values etc, but like also 90% of ppl I meet who are unhappy would have most of their problems fixed by simply no longer living w their parents. It's made me very pro moving out. If you're feeling stiffled, controlled, or constantly anxious, I think you should start working on moving tf out.

I remember being 19 and being like "the drive to move out is so western and it's important to stay with the family for my own finances and for the connection it brings" and literally as soon as I moved out it was like "oh so this is what it's like to not feel constantly suffocated and hate my parents" and still I meet really sheltered anxious ppl who just haven't reached the realization that it feels like heaven to walk out of your room and have nobody breathing down your neck.

my mom makes background stories for all of her animal crossing villagers and she has, inexplicably, determined that pietro had a wife who died mysteriously. so she put a tombstone outside his house because he “moves her body with him from island to island”. i asked her to elaborate. she will not.

i just asked if she thinks he killed his wife. the answer: “I don’t know. I just know he loved her very much. He loved her very much. Maybe a little too much. I don’t know.”
