Certain bodies must not repeat themselves in the dawn. Men do not fight for tons of steel. This, sir, is my resignation. The desperate die expensively today.

One thing that is very important to remember that is that you are not part of a ‘community’ by virtue of being a poet/short story writer/novelist tweeting on twitter. You enter in community by making things together with people; one wouldn’t call a pile of bricks a house.

you can see everything is, in part, about how spotting a work doesn't neccesarily break the spell of getting worked. the pleasures of it & the irreconcilable parsing too strong. knowing kayfabe doesn't break it bc it's a fusion w/ reality. oh but the riches found in the pursuit

המחבלים בכלא לביא ישבו ואגרו מהמעט מזון שיש להם. כף ריבה ועוד כף ריבה, פרוסת לחם ועוד פרוסת לחם, כך במשך כמה ימים, הכל כדי להכין עוגה מאולתרת ולחגוג ביום שלישי, במידה ולא אבחר. אלא שנציב שב״ס המצוין ואנשיו איתרו את העוגה, והאסירים הועמדו לדין משמעתי, והועברו לצינוק. הם כבר תכננו את החגיגות, אבל אצלנו נגמרה החגיגה. ביום שלישי אסור לתת להם לחגוג, מצביעים ב׳ בקלפי!

everything i know about the zionist cheating scandal is against my will, but it’s really funny that people act like cheating someone is the worst thing someone could possibly do. when idk killing kids is worse

I feel like saying "Quirk Chungus" is a bit more embarrassing than being "Quirk Chungus"

Back when Time Warner was a thing, it had a function on the guide to block shows from being watched and you couldn't remove it (probably could but I was a dumbass 10 year old) and I tested that function on poor Oswald. Never saw that funny octopus again kinda ruined my life.
Proof the shows we watched as kids were lower stimulation

The word ‘vermilion’ traces to the Late Latin ‘vermiculus,’meaning "kermes." Kermes are the dried bodies of insects used to produce this ancient red dye.
I can’t really explain this, but onomatopoeically vermillion should be a shade of green

Pet peeve of mine is adults that make a very big deal about their birthdays & expect that their friends are obligated to participate
My friend wants to plan a couples, no-kids weekend getaway, splitting the cost of a large AirBNB, in January for her 30th birthday. I really do not love this idea (husband is mortified), neither to spend the money nor to get someone to take the toddler for 3 days. It would be a 2.5 hour drive away for us, too, so it’s not like we’re close if something happens. I haven’t been away from him for even 1 night yet and he still just seems so young! It would be very hard to leave him for that long. Am I just a party pooper who needs to get over it? Genuine question. Like I actually need advice here guys

Throughout the movie, I kept thinking how Socratic Nathan Fielder’s persona is. I can’t stress how much bullshit you can cut through by asking “Why?” “What do you mean by that?” “What did you understand by that?”
Nathan Fielder is a GREAT example of someone who has broken free from relational automaticity, very inspiring to watch. He doesn't take bait that's thrown at him, and he doesn't even flinch. Someone tells him to do something, he calmly responds "why?" In stress, he stays curious
