Hot tub?

Snake ur drain bby <3

Strained beyond breaking, a screaming absence of being, an unknowing void, selflessness in its purest form

Firefox tweaked to the point it’d really make more sense to start with waterfox/librewolf if I didn’t already have the momentum. Vivaldi is slicker, but I think it’s important to support an engine besides chromium

Cat and a pinball machine? That’s my kind of garage

The first, strongest, and longest lasting moment like this I can recall is when I was 15 and homeless and a friend snuck me in to sleep on their floor. I felt safe and understood and accepted in a way I never had before and all too rarely have since. It’s still a moment I escape to sometimes when circumstances are rough and I can’t change them. Not the food or the games or the teen romance, just laying there in the dark knowing that everything was (and could actually be) ok. That a better world was possible, so to speak. That I wasn’t alone.

I know it’s not the type of answer you’re looking for, but I felt a moment of communal joy reading your story and all the other replies here. Thanks for sharing and helping bring that out in others, op. Love you.

I have three cars, this guy ain’t shit

That doesn’t seem like a very pleasant or productive perspective, but if it’s the one you want to apply go for it. Good luck out there friend

I think it’s a perspective you can apply or not, and one I still find useful. Our goals and intentions aside they’re contagious little bits of information that want to spread, and what makes them good at doing so is interesting to think about. As a conceptual unit of discourse, I have a hard time seeing them as a potential substitute for it. Quotation as substitute for thought is another story, but a far older story than this (or perhaps any) medium

I think you’d get a lot of good from reading a bit about memetics and conceiving of “memes” as transmissible ideas vs captioned pics online

More broadly, the purpose of our education system is not to educate or enlighten but to shape useful, compliant citizens. Common core was another sharp turn for the worse, go read about how controversial mandating attendance was back in the day. Picking on nerds as an act of resistance is weird to think about from here :p

Sun’s out, buns out 😎

I thought we were born April 20th, 1969

American here, I’ve been insisting on signal for years and it’s going fine. If you’re cool enough people will follow your lead eventually, it’s a better experience and everyone else waiting to switch is being held back by the same excuse. Take your good posts and go home (to open platforms)

KILL YOUR MASTERS

I have a standing bounty, 1/8oz good weed for proof of dead surveillance infra. One little shit tried turning in three parts off the same plate reader

Anyways, the kids are alright and would probably help you out if properly incentivized ;)

Like the one they referenced and many others?

Genuine social connection is not possible on corporate mediated platforms friend, a simulation thereof is bait in their trap and parasocial relationships are manufactured to slip their messaging past your filters. I implore you to go outside, or at least start building connection with strangers in niches like this vs would-be celebrities in what is essentially a slaughterhouse for processing lonely dudes
