“I liked you better when you wanted to kill yourself” Abusive ex to me

A poem my brother wrote

Nothing changes, and it changes all at once. Nothing moves, nothing exists. Nothing is important, so we should learn nothing, we should study nothing, get close to nothing, be kind to nothing. We must come to understand nothing so well that we could maybe even see nothing in ourselves. Because nothing matters, nothing is important, and I think that’s something.

Hi bamo!

Sappho - Fragment 147 - bits of a text that was mostly destroyed by time, the remaining words gave us this

Standardize not holding women to ambiguous and hazy hierarchical standards like “class” 🙄

Standardize letting women just be people and minding your damn business. Like wtf is this answer?

I was expecting like the metric system, or the number of continents but no… I’m going to go outside and rip ass so hard today, just for you buddy. 👍

Sunsets, a good breeze, sitting in a window with the sun on me, not the cold but being bundled up and warm when it’s cold out, bird sounds, extra rooty trees, puffy clouds, whispy clouds, people laughing, backyard rodents livin they lives, old cars, car maintenance, well figured pieces of wood, cooking, cooking with others, running errands with friends

Yeah It was struck by lightning and burned down. They rebuilt it a few years later with a doofier Jesus.

There was a whole debate amongst the locals ala “is it right to rebuild it?” “Was this a message from god?”, some people were mad they rebuilt it, everyone hated the new design, then everyone moved on.

People over the age of like 30 still call him touchdown Jesus. It’s not the same anymore but it’s what immediately came to mind when I read the prompt.

Idk if it classifies as a monument, but I present touchdown Jesus from southern Ohio.

I’m the same way.

Put on a movie and I’m asleep before the first scene is done.

I’m a tinkerer, need something to do with my hands and keep my mind occupied or I lose all interest. Video games often fill that but don’t feel useful in any way. They aren’t even a distraction from my real life, they’re just something to do I guess. Which isn’t what I like to do I guess

Big disagree. It’s all about context in the time they were big. Nowadays they’re really nothing special, they have good songwriting but what made them special is so common nowadays that they fade into the background of notable music.

When the Beatles were big, they were pioneering writing songs in a “post standards” music industry. Their marketing injected a lot more of the individuals personalities into the image and music in a way others hadn’t quite done before. The “songwriter” became the focus.

With all their fame they were able to experiment heavily and pioneered / popularized a whole plethora of studio techniques that were too expensive to explore for most other musicians (heavily isolated stereo panning, layers and layers of multi tracking, cut and pasting bit and chunks of dozens of takes for the perfect final print).

We don’t look twice at that stuff now cause I can open ableton and record hours and hours of whatever bullshit comes to mind without a second thought. Everything has been stereo since I was born. Multi tracking is standard process.

The Beatles are old hat, but they were the fucking bee’s knee’s when they were big.

Polyamory isn’t much better ime

Cheating still exists in polyamory, and you still get the same toxic bullshit as monogamy except now you have the added bonus of shaky accountability because “well you knew we were poly” …

Most people don’t do the groundwork to be able to hold a healthy and stable poly system and end up doing a lot of damage in the name of “enjoying themselves”.

Toxic people will be toxic regardless of relational preferences, but I think polyamory allows self absorbed and abusive people the shield of “you agreed to this” when in reality, they’re often looking for loopholes in boundaries or miscommunicating / twisting communicated hard limits or emotional boundaries to fit their actions.

Poly folk love to act all high and mighty like having more than one partner makes you inherently greater than mono folk when really it’s just preference for different styles of love.

I say this as someone who is actively practicing polyamory. Not all assholes are chefs, but any asshole can be a chef.

Talking to yourself

To each their own, I’d rather hear music live in the open air than through headphones.

I liken it to listening to your favorite band on headphones vs seeing them in concert. One experience is just hearing the song, the other you feel with your whole body.

Hard disagree. As a car person, it’s about the mechanical simplicity and feedback you get from the car.

Electronic steering and throttles already took a lot of the “road feel” from most modern cars. Fully electric cars compound the issue with awkward “engine noises” and fake gear shifts… none of that really translates how the car is actually performing on the road. Think of it like listening to music on headphones vs being there in concert, it’s about the feel of the experience. Every single electric car I’ve driven had had no soul, no feel. You’re so disconnected from the road grip feels like a total guess when you’re moving quickly. Paired with distracting “saftey features” that can’t properly read the road and screens galore most electric vehicles are obnoxious, distracting, and dull to drive.

Not to mention, If my car breaks down I can usually pull out some basic tools and spend a couple hours fixing it, because it’s mostly mechanical features. The majority of electric vehicles require proprietary software and tools to do very basic maintenance. Plus, any sort of aftermarket changes requires an incredible amount of electrical engineering practice to not totally brick the car.

TLDR: electric cars are dull and exceedingly difficult for average folks to repair easily. Mechanically minded folk want to feel connected to their car and electronic cars don’t give you that.
