Like we have commodified human connection to a degree where if you go beyond smalltalk you’re oversharing and if you talk too deeply about your life you’re traumadumping and if you get visibly upset you’re manipulative and if you care too much you’re codependent and if you want to talk about anything heavy you’re expected to go hire a therapist because your friends shouldn’t have to deal with that stuff and yet we’re all sitting around wondering why so many people are lonely…
2025 went by in the blink of an eye but at the same time if you mention something that happened in january it feels like a lifetime ago
i truly do think that media piracy is an incredible feat of human compassion when you consider just how many opportunities to engage with art and develop their knowledge many people would otherwise be prevented from by factors such as financial stability and the social climate they live in. everyone should have the opportunity to experience art and learn, no matter what. i refuse to compromise on that.
I am shocked at how many people don’t have an actively hostile relationship with advertising
I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I’m skipping past your sponsor read. I’m muting the tv. I’m muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.
If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible
“live every day like it’s your last”: scary. weirdly foreboding. not a good thought process if you get anxious easily. stressful. so much pressure that it loops back around to making you do nothing.
“live every day like it’s your FIRST”: everything becomes fascinating. renews the excitement of discovering things for the first time again. makes you feel like exploring stuff. #mywisdom
