I think it must be for the lack of going outside of your room on this website that debates about personal presentation and appearance literally never have any material analysis. sorry it's counterrevolutionary to shave my legs or wear makeup or a bra or style my hair in certain ways or "worry" about visible signs of aging but have some of you just never encountered real world situations where those things caused measurable problems dealing with other people, jobs, money, respectability, access to resources, or the ability to influence important situations? this starts happening when you go outside a lot. there's a debate on my dash rn about balding and finasteride in which not a single person has mentioned the potential negative social outcomes of losing your hair and how that can affect socioeconomic status and personal risk. maybe someone doesn't need to be "vain" to care about keeping their hair and consider the risks of medication for it. maybe they've seen how bald people get treated and referred to and made a cost benefit calculation that they can't afford, sometimes literally, to eat that cost, with everything else they've got going on. maybe I wear makeup when I have to go talk to doctors and other gatekeepers because people make assumptions about your class and mental status when you have "bad skin" and "eye bags". maybe a lot of women who wear uncomfortable restrictive bras and shave whatever and buy skin products and do gua sha have already been sharply punished when someone saw leg hair or a mustache or puffy greasy skin or god forbid their nipple through their shirt. not everyone can just say "fuck it, I can afford to eat one more social cost that will measurably impact my ability to get medical treatment or pay rent". sorry this sounds like an economics lecture, that's because it is

if you are about to tell me a long story about how you personally have not been affected by perceptions of your appearance actually so you can conclude it never happens at all, please don't. sometimes you get lucky, that's it. and on this website I think it's less likely that you're lucky and more likely that you're oblivious

Isn't it fucked up Warren accepted to be cyro frozen With the risk of memory loss because he didn't want to be responsible for his life. And when he did lose his memory he still wanted the same thing... It's like the only way to get rid of your problems is to face them

I remember back in the 10s someone sent me a comment going 'I love how grounded in economics all your fanfics are'

i do think it is interesting how the american right uses nostalgia as a weapon. "life was better under trump!" is a sentiment I see reverberate around right-wing circles, and the part that catches me is how young the people saying it often are.

a 24 year old, 22 year old or 19 year old has not liven under trump in a meaningful economic capacity. life being better under trump literally aligns with childhood and adolescence. a 12 year old sheltered from their parents' financial struggles sees that time as a time of stability, when their parents may have saw it as anything but.

however, there's still the desire to return to those times, times of idyllic stability and devoid of stress. our teens will on the average be a time of shelter, and to weaponize that as a damnation against the current administration is fascinating.

THAT'S SO US HELLO

Coining a new -based system term: Corporate based !

Corporate based is a label to describe the experience of the system you’re apart of function like a corporation, or a corporate tower. Corporations/corporate towers significantly affecting the system's structure, in which is basically what it is. The system members / fellow sysmates are like co-workers, you have a host/hosts that function like a boss, there are even meetings in the headspace, the headspace’s fronting room is an office, and you and other system members work together like a team. Other examples can also be added.

We finally got around to coining a term for how our system is structured. I mean hell, the place where most of us live and where the fronting room is The Tower / Corporate Tower, which is basically a massive corporate skyscraper building

If we're being completely honest we wanted to gatekeep this but gatekeeping is for losers and we're not losers so we will share it to the world

man i haven't even touched on the sci-fi borderline cosmic horror apocolypitic elements of the game yet which is a small but crucial factor in harry's amnesia and also a core aspect of the straight up battle against despair. like how do i even begin to describe the pale to you when harry can barely grasp the concept of it? (anyways if you love me watch this video essay full of spoilers and let me send you more)

reading umineko VN for the first time and it seems i am the odd one for enjoying the scene in the beginning where they lay out the financial needs of each of the adult siblings

NaNoWriMo day 13

so I’ve got 1,651 words so far and the politics got mostly glossed over in favor of Licia having mega-aro+trauma feels over her queerplatonic relationship with Cal, because my natural impulse is always going to be toward character journey, and relationship building, especially the platonic relationships. As much as I love a good romance this mega-aro bitch gets really turned off by the thoughtless amatonormativity of the genre as a whole.

I am also waffling over the presentation of the QP relationships because I feel like people are going to read them as inherently romantic because we have been conditioned by the disneyfied amatonormativity of our media culture to see all dedicated partnerships as inherently romantic, and that’s always gonna annoy the shit out of me. /end grumpy aro rant

FEE videos went downhill after the guy who did their Moving Pictures left. Nowadays it’s mainly shorts which are meh to boomer tier. That’s sad. Say what you will about Moving Pictures it wasn’t always perfect but some of those videos were gems and it was refreshing to see pop culture and film examined through a libertarian lense. Liberty needs better defenders.
