I’m starting to believe the real trick to life is finding a middle ground between optimism and cynicism, so that you neither hurt yourself with hopes that get crushed by how shit the world is, nor gut yourself with despair while traveling among infinite wonders.

I don’t need to touch grass, I need to find my seal-coat in a locked chest, slip it over my shoulders, and disappear beneath the waters of Puget Sound, never to return to Seattle outside of catching fish outside the Ballard Locks

@xinjinmeng question, how do you get your keyboard to show pinyin?

Google suggests “chariot” as”zhan che” which makes sense, analogous to huoche, gonggongqiche, etc. Definitely a noun I need.

wait THAT'S Porter Robinson? he looks like Rowan Atkinson trying to portray an early 60s vintage Paul McCartney or George Harrison for the express purpose of being funny/getting laid

need to remember;

my pre-college experience was being taught that I wasn't good enough at what my parents, teachers and peers wanted, and that if there was something I might be good at, it was unsupported or unacknowledged compared to what these other people wanted as exemplified by The Good Kids, which taught me if I were somehow good enough things would be intentionally revamped so I wasn't. And, as a result of being what someone else judged to be innately flawed, my safety and comfort was always in danger. I can see how all these cases match "this was intentional frequently enough to teach me these were hard and fast rules about how life worked.

Consequently, being out of work really stomps on those buttons and leads me to deep-seated despair on a nigh daily basis.

Used to be my analogy was, okay, so little humorous posts, photos of cute animals, and short updates from friends is a pretty solid social media, like Coke as a beverage. Which is why people try to sell you Coke as a way to make red velvet cake or degrease engines, anything other'n actually drink the stuff.

Except now, Coke is new Swasticola and everyone's trying to decide which generic supermarket version they would prefer. Big K Cola? Never heard of it.

TOON VERSUS PREDATOR! They said there was no way to kill a toon... and then SOMETHING started leaving headless, spineless cartoon bodies scattered around post-war Glendale. Tough detective Eddie Valiant (Danny Glover) is on the case! Features a stirring soundtrack by Alan Silvestri!

Today’s Chinese nobody included in this language book; “senlin” and “shu,” which I sorta need to know…

If I physically survive this summer I’m gonna be that much more emotionally robust, but it’s still an if rn

20:48-21:03 bakh!

also as a tangent from <strike>not especially subtle swipes from Prokofi</strike>James Horner soundtracks, I can potentially celebrate the life of the late great Roger Corman by rewatching Battle Beyond the Stars.
