Honestly, putting up a map of Mesopotamia as an art piece would be cool and I’m tempted

Oh, I’m finally an old and out of touch member of the community

It’s wild to me that that’s legal here. Devices should be carrier agnostic

Yeah she played a stupid game and won the customary prize

I think a lot of people need to learn to communicate more explicitly. There’s also the ask culture vs guess culture dynamic, though I think it can extend past culture and some people lean one way or the other. There’s also the idea that guess culture is feminine coded in America and ask culture is masculine coded. To a guess culture, outright stating your desires is imposing. You hint and if they’re willing to give it they offer. Furthermore saying no to a direct request is also seen as rude. In general directness is bad, preemptive offering is proper (and obviously they have to reject for fear of imposing), and hinting is acceptable. Think stereotypes of English culture. It’s a stupid social dance that I instinctively fall into. To an ask culture all that’s stupid, there’s nothing wrong with asking for something and it’s not problem to say no. It’s direct and blunt. Think stereotypes of American culture. It’s generally quite good to be able to navigate and accommodate both, but as a guesser, asking is better as a default, especially in relationships. It’s awkward and difficult to learn, but it takes all the guesswork and ambiguity out.

Listen, I’d fuck a cryptic but that’s the closest I’d get to either of those

Exercise and eating right actually do help. It’s just really hard to do without meds for me

Also trip a few times if your genetics agree with it. If they don’t, see if you can enter trances while meditating (it’s a special type of meditation). It’s good for you to feel one with humanity sometimes

Just don’t microdose while lifting

Don’t let your curiosity fade Maintain open minded compassion for those different from you Never be fully convinced you understand the best way to do anything In disputes between the affected and the unaffected give added weight to the most affected Don’t drink your calories unless you want to gain weight

Yeah you still have to order your bad idea custom, whether it’s an irish coffee or a red bull + liquor. Or just mix everclear and caffeine powder at home.

Lives. Human lives, no different from yours or mine. Possibly even yours or mine, or a loved one, definitely somebody’s loved ones, a lot of somebodies actually. Also immense financial and ecological cost and minds and bodies that will never recover. But it’s your cousin, or your classmate, or the neighbor’s kid all cut down in the prime of their lives alongside ordinary people from far away. Innocents and combatants alike. No sane and moral person desires war unless they feel they absolutely must.

Joining the hordes of followers of the beast of the sea because you think that the end of the world is awesome. I suppose there’s a theoretical nobility of choosing hell so others can go to heaven, but this ain’t it chief. Back when I was Christian I was so confused by these doom cultists. Like, the religion teaches that the gates of heaven are open. It’s not like the saints are waiting in sheol. There’s no benefit to the end of the world happening sooner from a theological perspective, and you aren’t supposed to know when it’s coming

Fucking gamers…

No thank you, I like my women flesh and blood. Or if technology gets way better than I expect it to in my lifetime: thinking feeling beings capable of choosing to leave with soft bits. Fuck this shit is sad

Ok yeah I’m the girl on the right lol

Damn dude, congrats! Gotta appreciate someone who’s clear about her intentions

Beanie and flannel. Idk it’s still 2015 in my heart

The Dispossessed hit me like a truck, but I wouldn’t call it theory. It’s political fiction that’s subtle about it by using sci fi, but I think calling it anything but a novel/fiction does a disservice to such literature. It does that which all message based fiction aspires to: lies to you in a way that makes you think about the world and see everything differently. I love all of LeGuinn’s books that I’ve read, though I felt Omelas was overrated. I’ll also plug Graeber for easily accessible theory written in modern language for modern life. Bullshit jobs hit hard. And yeah, theory matters, but only if you do praxis. Do the hungry care more about who you feed them, or that you feed them? Do your coworkers dream of a dictatorship of the proletariat or do they just want their voice heard in the workplace? If all you do is read theory, you’re a book club. The least you could do is mail some dictionaries and whatever other books to prisoners while you discuss the theory. Offer them some zines while you’re at it. What is in your heart and your mind are irrelevant until your actions reveal them.

There’s plenty, and they can help, but you ain’t gotta read em. They’re guides and ideas. Nobody ever told me I needed to read Proudhon to think the state’s bad, and usually older texts become more of historical interest than theory interests. When I wanted to understand anarchism I was told to go out and engage in praxis.

/tttt/ is incredibly self destructive. Like, I’m sympathetic to the core emotion that a lot of freshly out trans people are cringe about it, but their cringe is the price of self discovery, of experimentation, and authenticity in a difficult and awkward stage of relearning who you are and who you can be. /tttt/ is a hub of people so fearing being cringe that they forget to live and to learn to be authentic (something I too once struggled with). And in a great irony it too is cringe, while the cringe of unabashed self expression and experimentation contains the seeds of coolness. In short, I’m glad they’re touching grass.

Transalpine. OP looks like they’re from France or Germany rather than Italy, Austria, or Switzerland.

Yeah but they can always limit that subscription to a certain number of saves

What can I say, I’ve been completely honest I don’t think there’s a winning move and this sort of posts are what I miss from reddit lol

Idk I feel like if it actually worked that way we’d get pretty firm negotiations that home and work get separate metalminds at least at decent jobs. And much like how zincminds don’t make you smarter, they just make you equally smart faster, these won’t make you good at your job, just make you solely focused on the stupid thing your boss told you to do.

I have one. Never used it, but it was on sale at a sex shop and I found it hilarious. Now it’s just a source for Midwestern jokes.

I can give it a shot

Yeah also hyperfocua is thankfully often one of the earliest symptoms to be dealt with. The name “hyperfocus” sounds great, but when I tell the story of how in college I sat down to write a paper then several hours later was finished, couldn’t tell you anything about it and desperately needed food, water, and to use the restroom but was so exhausted I didn’t know how to prioritize these needs and spent several minutes deciding which to resolve first… Yeah then it sounds like a symptom of a disability rather than some magic power. I swear I’m sick and tired of people thinking adhd is basically being an attention feruchemist

Or more cynically: privileged talent knows its worth, marginalized talent is undervalued and will thank you for only lightly screwing it

Oh I didn’t know Karp was going to get forcibly sterilized by the government if he succeeds at his goals. Sounds like he doesn’t know that either

I would never have the courage to tell a coworker I use the obscure communist social media site. And if I phrased it that way they’d probably assume I was talking about rednote

Yeah I’m not the person to speak on good Mexican food as an Ohioan who moved to the PNW but you can get pretty decent Mexican food in Columbus. Yeah it’s americanized, but it’s good. And Candado is good for what it is.

It’s hard to have a bad time in Cleveland.

They aren’t bumpkins, they’re just far more likely to major in pure math or biology.

Not much. I don’t think they have much access to gallium

Every once in a while say in a mocking voice “we demand to be taken seriously, seriously guys stop doing art, we don’t like it”

The internet is for corn

Exactly, I wholeheartedly advise everyone to just pick up an ohio white pages and spam their government to change the name of their capital to flavortown in honor of central Ohio’s most cherished son.

You don’t, you say thay you left because you felt that the company culture was too unprofessional for you

People should change their names as they please, but remember it’s kinda annoying. Also the capital of ohio should change its name, so many things there avoid using the name of the city

That sounds incredibly unpleasant to the teeth and with sn awful sound to boot

Owning and operating such a thing requires a level of dirty labor he strikes me as being unwilling to engage in.

11 is wild. Personally though I just wear my glasses and nothing else to sleep

He looks like the sort of person who vacations to a conflict zone and pays for an experience package that includes killing civilians.

Unfun fact! In Victorian England public executions were a common place to get pickpocketed. Brutal punishment for minor crimes didn’t reduce crime, it took social services to do that.

Yeah he’s a massive loser

Am I offended? Yes, who wouldn’t be offended by being compared to this dim tool? But it’s not bigoted and you do have a good point

Which is funny because a bald spot would make him look old enough to vote

I feel the same about a breakfast beer. It’s rare, even on vacations, but sometimes you make a nice breakfast, crack open a cold one with some loved ones, and watch the sun rise on a nice lazy day.

We can’t let the Germans sober up, they’re so much less fun then.
