whenever a deed is the clear expression of sentiment, a mysterious and far-reaching influence is exerted

being on here for a long time you get to see longer term arcs play out, like irony guys who call out people as “divorced” getting married and divorced and never bringing it up again
people don't disappear into drugs or video games or whatever from basically happy, secure lives. you're misidentifying the scary thing here

Babe take a look at this. There came into a certain shop a famed chanteuse desirous of purchasing a mechanical Bird, yet the shopkeep, deeming her of graceless bearing and humble station, would not suffer the clockwork creature to pass into her possession
are you ever going to see the stars again without going to a desert? certainly not. but you'll get increasing opportunities to see the overweening vanity of great empires and the absurdly rich! forever!
Double-whammy sky-watching opportunity from the DC area Tuesday morning!
🪼 Space jellyfish: A Falcon 9 rocket launch at 6:33 a.m. from Cape Canaveral, Fla., could produce a "space jellyfish" in the southern and southeastern sky a few minutes later. This phenomenon occurs when a rocket's exhaust plume is illuminated by sunlight high in the atmosphere while the sky below is still dark, creating a glowing, jellyfish-shaped cloud.
🛰️ ISS fly over: The International Space Station is on track to be visible from the DC region for several minutes starting around 6:35 a.m., moving across the sky from the south-southwest to the east-northeast.
These two events are connected! The Falcon 9 rocket is carrying supplies to the ISS.
Skies should be mostly clear Tuesday morning, so wake up early and enjoy!

actually the appearance of two contiguous waves is itself an optical illusion, each is merely a disconnected series of line segments moving up and down
it's so weird that this fantasy is totally solipsistic, other people don't exist in it except as a market, but the market makes no sense if all these people have the same capacities
Hello computer.
Decompile and distill Grand Theft Auto.
Make the game set in my hometown -- use Google Earth to reconstruct it in pixel-perfect detail.
Make the character me and have my spawn point be in the mansion I always look at on Zillow.
Review my chat memory and make every mission about my hopes and dreams.
Make it playable online so my friends can join.
When you're done, sell all my video games on Ebay and use that money to fund tokens for my next game.

thought of a good hot take a worse person than me could use to get some engagement. I will sell a bad person this take for $100
did 10 or 12 miles on my bike trying to get my sea legs back and I felt pretty good but then I came home and very nearly had my legs give out trying to go up a staircase
did you know that my enemies are characterized by [universal failure mode of human psychology]? in fact I've handily defined them by it! also it's something else when my friends do it
"avatar" was a great pull for "digital representation" because it codifies reality as spiritually above computer world. neal stephenson remains stubbornly influential
