I actually still mess with diskettes on a fairly frequent basis, but it’s more of a hobby thing than a serious use thing

Yeah I’ve just kind of felt like shit for one reason or another for most of my life to this point

In terms of geography, My secret weakness is how often I confuse Slovenia and Slovakia, solely because they share most of the letters in their name.

(I also have a similar problem with Armenia and Albania. Within the US, Mississippi and Missouri used to give me a lot of trouble when I was younger, too.)

I’ve never liked taking the whole “The west” thing seriously. Predominantly associate referring to “The west” and “western culture” as something wignats and conservatives do, and that kinda tints every other contexts where the phrase/concept comes up.

FORTRANposting

yes actually

I almost swear I could go digging in my closet and find the comically oversized Osiris skate shoes I had in high school in 2010

Mad God was my favorite movie of 2021. Part because it’s the only movie of 2021 i’ve watched, and part because i’ve watched it five times and i think about it constantly

A notable victim of the “keep milking the cash cow forever” mindset. Not many movies have the luxury of doing what they need to well then fucking off within two entries.

Me pulping a radio dj’s head in New Mexico in the '50s so I can read a creepy poem on the mic

My main takeaway from philosophy is that I hate philosophy and mostly just want to wing it. So much hair splitting

I like the stuff that’s about people in the shit. Two Cigarettes in The Ashtray, and all that. I’m a big Horton Heat fan, so it makes sense that their stylistic forebears would appeal to me too.

Conservative memory management

I hate it when people bitch about the left “not having gurus to help lost young people” or whatever when the right’s so-called gurus are worthless sacks of skin like Peterson. Also I’m here because I - in very emphatic terms - do not want a guru.

PIE ASS

If anything, that “oh this is an inevitability” line of thinking just made me want to submit less.

Shit, third spaces and public squares would also still be a lot more of a thing if anyone cared about the children. The situation with hostile architecture just makes things worse for everyone. People out there trying to invent ultrasonic devices meant to deter teenagers from hanging around and shit.

I ended up a terminally online washout in part because there was fuck all to do aside from sitting around the house and going to school when I was a kid. That was 20 years ago. I can’t imagine the situation is much better these days.
