    my parents have a kind of praxis where they approach chores or labour as having near-zero cost; time will pass anyway so you mightas well spend it improving your dinner, your home, your life. I respect it a lot; it inspires me. this week I will try to make this attitude my own.

    not explaining this rn but i'm becoming increasingly convinced that trauma isn't about what happened but about the context around what happened it's not even that something happened but rather that the people around you didn't help integrate it into the rest of your life

    women don't want you to know this but when a girl enters your DMs it's basically guaranteed you can get her to marry you if you play your cards right

    as a kid I went to a Montessori school where I could do what I wanted so long as I was making the baseline expected progress and I think I've never recovered from the harsh cultural shock of afterwards spending six years locked up in high school with its mandatory classes & rules

    imo it means she's landed in the new interpersonal context (good work there) and a new context of course requires a new greeting or welcome to establish that it is recognized. she's dropped out of the old context, the vibes and people are different, you're meeting e/o anew

    Riven is a really great game. It's maybe the single most immersive game ever made, which is impressive, given it's 25 years old and is presented in a manner only slightly more interactive than a powerpoint presentation — at a 640x480 resolution to boot. Let me sell you on it.

    there's at least one underlying dynamic of "your social reality does in fact convince other people of itself too" "oohh I gotta soften this because it's a hurtful thing" → "wait, it's a hurtful thing?" → "you're hurting me?" vs. "hey here's a thing" → "oh, cool, a thing"

    for example, it took me two years to get it into my system that studying was an activity I needed to do. studying is actually barely a real-world activity; normally in life you encounter problems, ask the relevant questions, and learn what you need to in order to answer them.
