It's nice to be worried or annoyed by inconsequential things as opposed to, well, everything else. Like my pharmacy recently switched from straight walled pill bottles to ones with a shoulder. As the pills run out, they get caught on the shoulder, so you either dump out 3 or 4 at a time, or none.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Fair enough. How about some synthwave in the form of the Midnight's Monsters? I hope you enjoy it.

Loved these guys in my college days. If this doesn't strike your fancy, however, I've already got a backup from a different band.

Woo, boy! Is this a dehydration headache, a lack of sleep headache, or an illness headache? Let's pop a couple ibuprofen, chug some water, and hope for the best.

Another Saturday, another pair of farmer's market doughnuts consumed. Mmm, Boston creme and apple fritter.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Hey, Throwaway, why are you working on writing multiple short stories tonight when your partners on a group project most need them rather than weeks ago?

Simple: self-sabotage.

You know, maybe I should treat myself and get that new racing game? It's only $80.

*spends $80 on windshield wipers*

Uh huh. I see.

Helium, floating, and floating away. Ever since you ended the blueberry one with your sona going blue and saying "unless you're really into it," I just kept imagining one on floating ending with your sona inflating, getting a high pitched voice, and floating out of frame saying the same.

I’ve started reading and watching stuff that’s not web pages, news, or YouTube videos for the first time in way too long. I feel considerably less stressed right now. Nice to deep dive into someone else’s reality for a while.

I think your problem is attempting fucking sleep in the first place. I’ve never tried, but I suspect sleeping and sexing simultaneously may be impossible. Have you tried splitting the two, having sex then sleeping?

Sounds like society never had a little brother or sister looking over their shoulder during computer time. Yes, I was only playing games, but it was still uncomfortable!

Me: why do the four-legged semi-autonomous tanks have child-like voices and curiosity?

Also Me: all art is an excuse to see what you want to see. Someone just wanted it that way.

Me: well, I want to see more Bato awkwardly smiling before pulling people through windows.

I am not immune to propaganda. Hellboy, Indiana Jones, Sound of Music, Looney Toons, Star Wars, Kamen Rider, Hellsing, the Rocketeer, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Metal Slug 3, Spider-Man, and X-Men all taught me that the nazis were the bad guys, meant for ridicule.

So I was watching a walk through on YouTube, trying to figure out how to get a piece of loot in Destiny 2, when I heard a Discord alert. Took me a while to realize it wasn't me, but rather the player I was watching. We need customizable alert sounds.

Popeyes has better food and its location distribution is nigh-identical to chick fil a, you definitely have an alternative to the homophobic chicken

Oh since we're talking about boycotts, way too many of y'all still eat at Chik fil A and shop at Hobby Lobby, two companies whose profits are literally dedicated to killing trans people

I did some volunteer work recently and the group bought us Chic-Fil-A sandwiches. I ate it so it wouldn't go to waste, but I don't see the appeal. Limp and zero crunch. Personally, I much prefer Zaxby's.

You can have non-homophobic AND much better chicken sandwiches!
