"We keep making our service worse, cancelling shows before their time, hiking up the prices, and generally ruining what once was a decent product--piracy keeps wining somehow. 🤷"
pov youre my calc teacher grading my test and seeing that i drew breaking bad fanart in place of an answer
Every time a story is like "this enlightened civilization solved war, scarcity, and disease but doing so only made life boring and meaningless because you need Suffering for anything to be worthwhile" I just wonder how they even made it that far with seemingly not even a concept of games or simulated conflict in general.
Especially bad when this is a civilization so advanced and utopian that they could conceivably rewire their own brain chemistry to just not have those sorts of needs in the first place.
It's so weird when you think about it, isn't it? "A world without struggle has no satisfaction" is probably fair enough, but why does the struggle need to have such high stakes? Why would anyone need to suffer and die for real for it to mean something?
Empirically people are perfectly content to challenge themselves through things that will have no major negative consequences for failure, and it seems reasonable to believe this would continue to be the case if all the problems in their personal life were solved.
It kind of reminds me of the trope of the rich character who is bored and dissatisfied with life and tries to make it into a thing about how money doesn't buy happiness but really they just clearly have no hobbies or interests and don't know how to entertain themselves beyond just buying even more positional goods.
awesome
As much as I hate to ruin the joke, the article is really good. Here it is in full!
learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.
It took Oscar Wilde like 65K words to say this exact thing.
Both of these

no i don’t have plans later. i will, however, be taking extensive poison damage periodically for the foreseeable future. but beyond that my schedule is totally open
if you hear me going “haugh.” or perhaps “augh” every so often and see me doubling over. well. Don’t even worry about it.
i’m taking the words “fetish” and “kink” away from the internet until you people learn what sexual attraction is
objectification too like it's called "objectification" because the subject of someone's sexual desire is being treated as an object with no desires of their own. there's nothing wrong with thinking a person is sexy as long as you don't forget they're a person. holy shit people
"sexualization and objectification are the same thing” comes straight from “sex is an intrinsically degrading act” and frankly I’m not into that vibe in the slightest
THAT WAS THE BEST SONG CHOICE FOR THIS VID
I thought I dreamt this video
