Before the gun, the scythe, before the scythe…?

Wow, nothing drives home “I’m not mad, you didn’t get to me!” quite like five emojis.

Anyways, this was fun, but since “toodles” didn’t get the point across, now I get to block you and retire from this exchange as king. Buh-bye! 🤙

Let’s “slam” them with a rebuttal, as headlines like to write.

But it’s so harrrrrrrd! 😩

Asking me with my shit attention span to focus on something as boring as my breathing for ten fucking minutes? Even counting them doesn’t help! I tried keeping up with it for a month or two and every time I’d just space out into a long string of connected thoughts and didn’t feel any benefits.

I’ve been meaning to try it again, but even my therapist says it’s not for everyone/it may just not be for me, which would be a shame because it’s such an accessible mitigator if it worked.

This is me just venting out loud in response to this article. I’m aware I should probably get back into it, I’ve just been dragging my feet.

It’s “en masse” you trolling pissant lol. Toodles!

I couldn’t get into that show. It felt like another smug detective who leaves everyone around them incompetently befuddled and shaking their heads in disbelief and I just wasn’t in the mood for it at the time.

…it also made me miss The Mick.

Bad bot.

Sorry, I should clarify those were my own choices I was referring to. I’m the one who has a film degree and now works in tech support.

I meant to be empathizing more than making fun of op.

Yes it’s an arts degree, and yes the arts are in dire straits right now, but uhhh I at least feel fulfilled having tried to make the most of my passion— which I recognize doesn’t pay the bills, but made me feel validated and boosted my self-esteem, which I don’t think any job would’ve ever done for me nearly as much.

…so anyways, how’s that reset going, is your machine back up and running? Great. Thanks for calling tech support have a nice day.

“K.”

I really fucking hate how sensitive my body’s become to caffeine as I’ve gotten older; even just one cup of coffee puts me at what feels like the prologue to a panic attack, but without the panic attack (thanks Prozac?).

So with that and being sober, I am a fish out of water whenever I visit Germany. “So uh, do you have anything that’s non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic, and um, preferably diet? just water? yeah fine, that’s what I thought.”

I really hate this guy’s fucking face.

This never clicked for me for whatever reason and it’s been too long since I’ve seen it to recall why. Good photography and performances, but iirc the ending goes off on a bit much of a fever dream for my tastes at the time I saw it.

“How long will they be here.” lol

They’ll see themselves out, they’re just here for a trip to Disneyland.

I was really hoping that asteroid was our reset button.

Schrödinger’s Election: it’s rigged unless we win.

My parents encouraged destigmatization of nudity (nudist beaches, a shower or two together, etc.), but no they did not have sex around me or my siblings and think that’d be fucked up if someone told me their parents did that to them.

Even if I went offline, so far I have seen ai slop seeping into:

• video games (even by big studios like Outlast Trials or COD)
• smaller merchants at local events or malls
• commercials (even big companies like Coke, Mazda, and smaller ads)

I can’t imagine how much worse it’ll get with the flood gates opened.

I would not want to be a stock photographer or model right now.

One of the most fascinating After Effects tutorials I’ve ever followed (and of course the technology it’s mimicking) was how to recreate a CRT effect by dissecting three color channels from one another and placing them together close enough to fake the entire palette. It’s just fascinating how much our eyes can extrapolate from illusions.

I watch playthroughs of this for background noise sometimes. It’s just cozy nostalgia for me.
