my career advice isn't "do what you love" it's "do what will give you the most money without making you want to kill yourself"

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ABOUT BISEXUALITY

that purple in the middle is not the right saturation, it doesn't fit with the other two colors and it drives me crazy.

seeing people on this site getting horny over robots is pretty funny as someone with a degree in them. half of yall are gonna lose fingers (or worse) to pinch points once the first consumer-grade android models roll out in a few decades. you know the memes about how closing the cybertruck's trunk can cut off your finger? imagine that but with an elbow joint. your cybergf is slurping your shit crazy style when she gets a forced firmware update that zeroes all of her servos including the ones controlling her teeth. and none of this shit will be covered under warranty. fuck a safe word, you'll need an e-stop button

They are taking the passion out of everything and we allow it by embedding our personhood into a screen

Thinking about the fine line between hyperindividualism and healthy individualism tn. When is it “you need to be single to work on yourself” and when is it “no two people in a relationship are ever perfect & that is okay.” When is it “you want love because you want companionship and human connection” and when is it “you’re obsessing over that person because you’re missing something from your life.” Are people valid to be so hungry for love that their whole being splits with it, or does it just mean that they’d ultimately be too codependent to commit to anyone? When is someone ready? What is ready enough? And when is the attraction healthy as opposed to symptomatic of a larger problem? Where is the line drawn???

Continuing to be warm and soft and open to the possibilities of life even when it seems hopeless and you’re heartbroken and soul sick does actually work btw. Like there will be love around you again and real recognizes real

“The time will pass anyway” absolutely shifted my mind

[blehgross]

It’s true I do have time and freedom and I love it, sometimes. But the notion that I should be “making the most of it”, travelling the world or out every night, there’s a kind of tyranny in that too, that life has to be full, like your life’s a hole that you have to keep filling, a leaky bucket, and not just fulfilled but seen to be fulfilled. “You don’t have kids, why can’t you speak Portuguese?” Do I have to have hobbies and projects and lovers? Do I have to excel? Can’t I just be happy, or unhappy, just mess about and read and waste time and be unfulfilled by myself?”
