No need to take any pot shots at this trash in terms of aesthetic efficacy in earnest, if y'all know what I mean. But as an experiment, it's interesting. There seems to be an odd c…

I like what you're saying. There's a quote in The Wire, when an ex-cop becomes a teacher in some of the toughest schools. The principal says to the new teacher about to be thrown i…

The real treasure was the weak ties we made along the way. Jokes aside I do agree with you! The little things actually build up to the big things. Trying to insist on the big thing…

To your point, I've come across many who conflate the 2. Wisdom seems like making good choices for long-term positive outcomes, where there are no rulebooks, lots of uncertainty, a…

In relationships, offloading personal responsibility onto someone else (aka blaming another person for your choices and behaviors and thoughts and actions) is something like projec…

Reminds me of crypto. A lotta tokens. A lotta gambling. Very little supplanting of crypto from fiat. Very few use-cases that revolutionize society, etc.

My take is: Toxic positivity is just as bad as toxic negativity. Cynicism seems to fall under toxic negativity, in that it presumes negative intent before even finding out if it's …

Respect. I'm gonna start using "shitlit" from hereon out. And also, there are people I respect who said they read 100+ books a year, and that you should, too. But while others in m…

Just make up new titles. Super Senior. Super Senior II. Hyper Senior II Turbo. Super Senior: Ultra Instinct.

My world is richer for reading this. I absolutely can see it. Like Redline meets Cowboy Bebop. Both can be b-side vignettes in a larger futuristic SNES world. Not so sure about Sta…

This is frickin hilarious. Your awe and wonder at it, your wife's repulsion, and your eulogy hahaha

I side with this school of thought. Just call the emotions what they are, accept them in the form of not dressing them up and putting some spin on them to make people feel better a…

Your boss sounds like they have an extremely rigid view of what emotions are and aren't "correct" in any given setting. Sounds controlling, and lacking a fundamental understanding …

Your corn-based pain amuses me, cretin. I'll deign some packets of cane sugar to alleviate your pathetic woes. (Honestly, HFCS prob has wreaked legit havoc via the "death by 1000 p…

Because it's awesome and fun to do. And rare copies will exist for a select few to share to select parties who would absolutely love to experience the contraband underground work.

Never knew about these crucial behind-the-scenes talks. Really interesting to know. Thank you!

To piggyback off of this with a call-to-action against the realities you point out, I think it's absolutely valuable and worth it to go after the aesthetic things that you like eve…

For real. The adherence to this technique needs to be total and absolute, but the situation has to call for an ever-escalating frequency of interruptions from family, work, the gov…

Make it into an e-sports competition. But rather than try to hype it up like fighting game tournaments, have it be somewhat milder in aesthetics and tone, for the type of crowd it …

I'm in the "creative" field (aka, visual time-based arts, so to speak, but honestly, it's "work," and in the same vein, every other job is teeming with much-needed creativity that …

While I was wrestling with personal greed with the crypto mania as a laymen (and I try not to write the whole thing off as bad), his writings were very helpful to get me to see wha…

I'd be very, very curious to hear viable alternatives to ad supported models, that aren't based on how major companies have been doing it for the past 20 years (or longer?), where …

I can relate. Might not be exactly this, but it makes me feel similar to why people hate advertising. Which I believe is, people don't like feeling lied-to, and everyone knows that…

There's a saying I heard, which goes a little something like: "You can't use a coping mechanism to heal from an issue/ wound/ trauma. It's basically just replacing one addiction fo…
