I’ve never liked taking the whole “The west” thing seriously. Predominantly associate referring to “The west” and “western culture” as something wignats and conservatives do, and that kinda tints every other contexts where the phrase/concept comes up.
I almost swear I could go digging in my closet and find the comically oversized Osiris skate shoes I had in high school in 2010
Mad God was my favorite movie of 2021. Part because it’s the only movie of 2021 i’ve watched, and part because i’ve watched it five times and i think about it constantly
A notable victim of the “keep milking the cash cow forever” mindset. Not many movies have the luxury of doing what they need to well then fucking off within two entries.
Me pulping a radio dj’s head in New Mexico in the '50s so I can read a creepy poem on the mic
My main takeaway from philosophy is that I hate philosophy and mostly just want to wing it. So much hair splitting
Part of how I got here involves reading an assload of textfiles from the '90s and growing disillusioned with the fruits of that optimistic '90s techno-libertarianism
I like the stuff that’s about people in the shit. Two Cigarettes in The Ashtray, and all that. I’m a big Horton Heat fan, so it makes sense that their stylistic forebears would appeal to me too.
Conservative memory management
I hate it when people bitch about the left “not having gurus to help lost young people” or whatever when the right’s so-called gurus are worthless sacks of skin like Peterson. Also I’m here because I - in very emphatic terms - do not want a guru.
If anything, that “oh this is an inevitability” line of thinking just made me want to submit less.
How repetitive life is has always made me uneasy.
I’ve always kinda wondered what System76’s stuff is like. Battery life’d be the main priority for my use case. (I really like my M2 Air for this)
I still use IRC daily
“It’s already a hundred ten in the summer, and if it gets one degree hotter, I’m gonna kick your ass!” --Renee Descartes (1596-1650)
Been meaning to transition to a distro with a focus on being pretty low maintainance yet not too top heavy, leaving Windows to a VM on my Proxmox server. Haven’t gotten around to it yet, since I’d need to get the server a dedicated graphics card.
Could just use WINE, I suppose, but I’m assuming it’s still as rough as it was last time I messed with it twelve years ago.
Mare Tranquillitatis
In terms of geography, My secret weakness is how often I confuse Slovenia and Slovakia, solely because they share most of the letters in their name.
(I also have a similar problem with Armenia and Albania. Within the US, Mississippi and Missouri used to give me a lot of trouble when I was younger, too.)
