there’s something so tender about living in the same place for a very long time- knowing the little secrets of the terrain, memories accumulate on top of each other like sediment, the opposite of alienation
@sigfig
my speed detection has gotten so sensitive I can now tell when someone's on adderall based on reading one line of email or 10 seconds into a convo. It's just nice to know.
@Empty_America
I think especially in ultra left urban and suburban areas where homelessness and piss covered sidewalks is the norm, shoe removal also becomes a norm
Widespread homelessness didn’t become a thing until recent de institutionalization
@GaydolfJizzler
This isn’t about wealth, this is the result of deinstitutionalization and policies that encourage this kind of behavior
non Californians speaking on this is literally pointless

@stacey_rudin
Absolutely. My terrible relationship totally burned everything I thought about the world to the ground. Biggest turning point in my life and I think also the main reason I was skeptical about the hysteria from the start.
@naturalnursemom
Lost my mind on the pill for a hot second. Felt like I was going insane plus migraines. It’s wild that these abusive drugs are still promoted
welcome to my little hovel. oh, don’t worry about taking your shoes off. just keep them on. I love for my carpets to be covered in little particles of piss and shit from outside on the street. It’s just the way I like it.
my turning point moment was meeting and falling in love with a visual artist over Skype when I was 19, moving across the country to be with him, simultaneously ruining and inspiring my life
also before and after corona, obviously
my phone overheated and perished in a flourish of anticlimactic glory after 3.5 faithful years
not having a phone is so weird. for the first time in like 15 years I have no idea what time it is and where I am when I'm out and about. a smart part of me has been severed
just soldered a bunch of things and now can’t really tell if the scent of flux is now burned into my nose or someone is in fact smoking crack in my BART car
When I worked in Big Perfume, people got riled up about personalized scents because they were tailored and special and said something about the specialness of whoever was buying them, but almost always were Worse
Wrong about what? I said depression is sadness and you are agreeing with me. Also, I would argue that nobody is ever sad for no reason. The very fact of being a conscious being in this world is reason enough to be sad. Not to say that we should be sad all the time, or it’s good
republicans do not have a history of thinking creatively. for example, if they had really wanted to tarnish the communist reputation among the young crowd they should have encouraged every 20something to live in a student cooperative house
@Calibaneur
I think it’s possible to be ambitious and agentic without being a bugman, but yeah have to agree here — leaving your girl and friends to grind is a characteristically buggy thing to do, especially since you KNOW this is an AI wrapper startup
children are not just little halfbaked adults. Childhood is a fantastical magical time and to insist on telling kids every little truth is just autistic
i'm weirded out by the fact ppl just openly lie to their children about santa? and this is just a widespread cultural agreement? and people get mad at you if you tell kids the truth? So fucked up. Im gonna start santa-truther activism, hold signs in front of elementary schools
My type used to be: any man than can torture me
My type is now: vaguely autistic computer nerd that needs to leave the bar because it is too loud for him in there
i have an above average amount of talented dream interpreters in my life. I think i will start taking too much DXM on the regular and see what beautiful insights they can spin from my hellish nightmares
