I walk down the city streets, in an unsuspectin' human world. Inhuman in your midst. Well, this world is mine to own.

One of the funniest things about communism is that it rests on a premise that's basically like, "Hey, once everybody voluntarily gives up a specific set of strategies and advantages, everything will be wonderful. So, once we figure out how to coerce everybody into voluntarily giving those up, we'll be set."

imagine being a billionaire. like, you put in work, nearly fail, but push onward anyways. you develop something novel. you make it scale. you push the envelop to do something that's never been done before. but then, part of the thing you win in the end game is a bunch of communists saying you should die or that you should be forced to hand over what you've earned smh. what an infantile ideology

You are either committed to science, technology, engineering, and math—venturing deep into the intersection of numbers and philosophy—or you get swallowed by one of the lesser ideologies like communism, makeup, or video game addiction

One must imagine that things could, in fact, be good. Are you willing to put forth the energy to construct heaven?

Guy in front of me at the store talking about how some words should be illegal. Didn't have it in me to explain how things work. Guess he may never know.

I fucking love snowclones. They are resilient. They happen everywhere. You can enjoy them. Snowclones are the best.

I fucking love dandelions. They are resilient. They grow everywhere. You can eat them. Dandelions are the best.

have you considered that it's you who is old, and not the email draft?

While I was typing up some documents this afternoon, I needed a throwaway email address to receive some information.

So I logged into an older account I have, then clicked the drafts folder. I found a draft of an email from 2017.

The body read, "This email will have to wait." I guess I must have been hyperliteral at the time, since it's now been waiting for eight years.

you used to be able to put a dvd in your laptop and play it. you used to be able to burn cds.

way more meta than you, OP. all jobs involve a cartesian plane. all thought/philosophy is math. even waiting tables is math. mathematicians have simply formalized the domain by minting and using the appropriate symbols. qed

The cool thing about doing math professionally is that you can work anywhere - on your walks, in the shower, as you fall asleep - just by rotating problems in your head. What's not so cool is that this drives you insane

The Smiling Spider (1887) by Odilon Redon

The White House bragging about how many different countries have reached out to negotiate in response to the tariffs reminds me of that part of Disco Elysium where you have the option to put a loaded gun in your mouth and threaten to pull the trigger as a negotiating tactic. It is certainly one way to start a conversation!

yeah, many such cases. but there doesn't seem to be a clear solution. just... the inevitability of the void, consuming the souls of the damned. unfortunately this means innocents will also ... *gestures vaguely at the horror*

People often assume that states like Texas, North, or South Carolina are conservative. But they're not at all like people assume.

For example, I live in the Carolinas. And there's a lot of progressive culture. I mean, a dose of healthy liberalism isn't such a bad thing.

Yet sometimes, it's surprising. Like, there's a lot of sex work culture here. That's maybe the most ancient profession of all time, right?

But almost every time I hear from people who are involved in it, it's genuinely horrifying.

It seems like every story goes, "I got into sex work. Then I started using drugs. Then one day I got pregnant. Then I kept doing drugs while I was pregnant. Then I learned my child and I both have [HIV/hepatitis/preventable disease] and my child now has [lifelong condition related to drugs or disease]."

And this is just a super unfortunate and heart breaking set of affairs. Unfortunately it's a super common pattern in the city I currently reside in.

Maybe it's not like this everywhere. But I sort of can't help but view it as an indictment on certain overlapping cultures.

When you die and go to the afterworld, you get to sneeze all of the sneezes you sneezed, again -- as well as all the sneezes you didn't get to sneeze.
