From the River to the Sea

I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

the real moral lesson in chess is that you can only move forwards 5-6 times in your life before you're turned into a beautiful queen but also rarely you might be turned into a horse

Any time I hear a song that's faster than 33 bpm, it really bothers me because why so fast? It's like they don't even wanna linger on the beats. They just wanna move onto the next musical note and be done already. And this is very similar to fast fashion, if you think about it.

You guys remember when Youtubers made 10-minute long vlogs full of nothing happening because 10 minutes is the length required to be able to monetize a video and shove a bunch of ad breaks in it? Yeah, well YouTube's not around anymore. Tiktok's the only video platform on the internet allegedly. And the creators there aren't incentivized to make their videos ten minutes long no matter even if they have nothing to say for that length of time. And this is bad because long media good and short media bad.

I remember when Over the Garden Wall came out and it was only 10 episodes long, and I said, "Only ten episodes? They didn't wanna linger on this story?" In fact, anytime someone I follow posts a 5 to 15 second long animation and they say, "hey guys, I worked really hard on this, it took several weeks to finish it, I hope y'all like it," I always leave a comment saying, "Um why is this so short though? Seems very rushed. It's like you've lost the art of lingering."

I love this post because every time I go to Wendy's and they hand me my order, I think about how rushed it was and how the linecooks didn't even care to linger on the burger they were making me. But I do have to wonder why the post is so short. The OP could've listed more things that are fast, she could've written a whole book about this, but she didn't. She didn't wanna linger on it for too long.

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
