Some of y'all never truly studied existentialism and it shows.

inaction fans when they find out making no choice is a choice in and of itself

Unfortunately, I get the feeling everyone's going to have the opportunity to learn that lesson this time around. Hopefully they'll actually learn it.

I'm done with the attitude of "we elected a man who wants to be a dictator because the other option wasn't exciting."

This isn't a movie. It's not supposed to be exciting. Welcome to adulthood. Do the boring, imperfect work.

there needs to be a cultural shift in america like im not talking about culture war bullshit i mean the average american needs to learn to care about their community and the rest of the world and not be a self-absorbed asshole with a "fuck you i got mine" attitude.

Girl, are you hearing yourself talk.

Also, Israel is LITERALLY making decisions based on who is in office next. This matters. You can directly affect global policy.

It’s wild the number of posts I come across where people act like voting for or supporting Harris and Walz in the election is tantamount to implicitly supporting genocide. You know what actually helps genocide? Doing nothing while pretending you have the moral high ground. America is deeply tied to Israel and there will be no candidate who is as critical of their actions as we want them to be. We as private citizens do not have the power to make the USA suddenly cease all activity with Israel and demand an uncompromising ceasefire deal. Instead, we have to get our hands dirty and decide what path forward will mitigate as much harm as possible. You have one presidential candidate saying Israel needs to finish the job and another saying that we can’t ignore the tragedies in Gaza while vocally supporting a temporary ceasefire. These are your two picks. Thinking any third party candidate has a shot when none have any wide-reaching name recognition less than 100 days before the election is a fever dream.

The question then becomes, are you willing to say you voted “correctly” by voting for someone who has no shot of winning but is most closely aligned to you? Or are you going to vote for who will do the least harm? The idea that voting for a president involves liking them is a fairy tale. The establishment will always be the enemy of civil rights and safety. You’re voting for which opponent you want in office. The writing is on the wall about which candidate will be less of an uphill battle to fight against, and sidestepping the responsibility of making that decision by throwing away a vote isn’t moral or intellectually groundbreaking - it’s cowardly.

So. Having finished TLoVM, I am sorry to say that the pacing really felt off by the end. I am just not a fan of having an episode of "THIS TEAM IS FALLING APART" resolved 20 minutes later. Was the team falling apart? Was it really?

Or:

"You can't learn this rite"

10 minutes later:

"Hey, none of the other leaders here actually talked, I guess they forgot they could do that so yes, I can learn this, actually"

It just feels like conflict injected into a story for the sake of conflict. And when you're already short on time, it feels like a waste of that limited time. For me, that really pulls me out of any story that I'm immersed in.

I suppose that we've tied up/hacked off the loose threads though, so season 4 can be a more streamlined Vecna-stomping story.

I told my students they're allowed to be creative and don't have to be factual when writing about themselves in German because I keep getting questions like "what if I don't have roommates or what if I don't have hobbies" and I'm like guys just make something up! Have fun! I won't fact check you!

So now I am grading homework where a student is claiming to be from North Korea and his hobby is tax fraud

Things cats were right about all along:

Fuck staying hydrated by drinking enough water - eat! more! wet! food! (watermelon, cucumbers, SOUP!)

Feels great to be really high up in your house where you can see the whole place (loft bed loft bed loft bed loft bed!)

Express yourself as clearly as possible when people are touching you and you don't want them to.

Optional, but you can also express yourself clearly when your people are not touching you and you want them to.

Sometimes it's important to just go "hmm. actually, I don't care" and wander off.

You don't have to be the strongest or toughest to defend yourself, it's enough to just be difficult enough to not be worth the trouble.

Ghosts will eventually leave if you stare at them for long enough.

My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.

We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.

We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.

We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.

We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.

Really ready to be done with this trolley proble- I mean... election.
