You're all good! And I appreciate the offer. Idk I just felt like it would be best to make sure that we were on the same page. Reading back what I wrote I can see how one might interpret it as more than what I intended it to be and I really just didn't want to take that chance. In any case, I think I kind of just need to think things through on my own and chill out a bit. I might even try to avoid the internet for a few days. I'm in a weird headspace right now and I think I just gotta take it easy and keep things in perspective. I'll say it one more time though: I appreciate you reaching out. If nothing else, it's nice to know that someone went out of their way to try to help me out :)

I genuinely appreciate it a lot, but I also didn't intend to scare anyone. I'm obviously not in the best place right now, but I want to make it clear that I'm not in any danger. I had a bad day yesterday, but even then, I wrote the above post more out of introspection than frustration or hopelessness. Retrospectively I maybe should have made that more clear; that's my bad and I'm sorry if I frightened anyone. I'll be more careful about this sort of subject matter in the future. If my emotional state was bad to an actually dangerous degree, I would seek professional help rather than vent anonymously on an internet forum. Again, the fact that you reached out means a lot, but I don't want to misrepresent my situation as more dire than it really is.

So is there some context to the dril corncob tweet that I don't know about or is this just the one arbitrary instance of "XD random" humor that we've all collectively decided is funny?

This is what "reading theory" does to people

Not OP but I like coffee!

If they do a second patriot act they better come up with an acronym just as elaborate and dramatic as the original. America wouldn't be America if it didn't distract from human rights abuses with flashy and overbearing theatrics!

But I guess I would mostly prefer it if they didn't do a second patriot act in the first place.

This app looks interesting, I'll have to give it a try. I spend a lot of free time playing games so maybe I'll be able to channel some of that energy into something productive with this. Thanks for the advice!

I have allotted just a couple hours of homework to do today but every time I even think about doing it I get anxious for no reason. Is there a way to make my brain stop freaking the fuck out over everything that doesn't involve narcotics? I just wanna grill for gods sake......

HOLY SHIT ELON MUSK IS 49. I actually thought he was like in his 30s for some reason. I guess that was me falling for his fellow-kids routine. I'm a firm believer in the notion that everyone should be allowed to have anime profile pics regardless of their age, but ELON MUSK, IN HIS 49TH YEAR, CHANGING HIS TWITTER PFP TO A BITCOIN ANIME GIRL AFTER RECEIVING ABSOLUTELY NO PROMPT TO DO SO is hilarious. And kind of depressing. Serious jokerfication fuel

Nintendo is a shit company but I don't really get this. They are not marketing it as anything other than a port with slightly better graphics. All they're doing is bringing it to a new console. I'm not saying that they're doing a good thing, but I don't think it's worth getting mad over.

Also scalding take: BOTW is the worst (3D) Zelda game. Skyward Sword is very good. The motion controls can be janky occasionally, but they are not nearly as bad as internet nerds say, and are ultimately a net positive for the game. Also it has some of the best characters in the series. Also it's got imo the coolest art style of any of the Zelda games. All around a great game and gets way too much hate.

Edit: And to clarify I absolutely love pretty much every 3D Zelda game. BOTW is still a very good game. But it's got a lot of competition

Materialist As Fuck Horoscope™ - Introductory Edition :flop-pog:

Aries: You are close to a great breakthrough, but it might be worth giving up. Dreams can be manifested in the waking world, but they will crumble before long.

Taurus: Soon, you will get into an argument with a liberal family member about Joe Biden. Neither you nor your family member will learn anything from the dispute. You'll both just end up kind of frustrated at each other.

Gemini: You are now able to shapeshift. For real! Try it out!

Cancer: You must learn to love yourself before seeking out the love of others. Your feelings are valid but there's no need to beat yourself up over every mistake. You are your greatest ally - don't give up!

Leo: Some time in the coming days, you will insert one end of a catheter into your bladder, and the other into your mouth. This will create a never-ending ouroborian mobius strip of piss. It will be truly epic, and you will remember it fondly over the coming years.

Virgo: The stars have granted you the opportunity to change your astrological sign. You can only change it once, so choose wisely! Hint: don't choose scorpio.

Libra: You are at a liminal place in your life right now, and you must find the courage to move forward with resolve. Be wary, however: an old friend is looking for a chance to betray you.

Scorpio: You are a bad person.

Sagittarius: Take your age and multiply it by three. Then, subtract ten.

Capricorn: Tomorrow, you'll finally stop putting it off and read theory. No more excuses. Now's the time.

Aquarius: You will soon be granted the chance to betray an old friend. Take it and never look back.

Pisces: That song that's stuck in your head is there permanently now. Fuck you.

ඞ <-- This is the funny character.

Amogus <-- This is the funny word.

I will now be accepting upvotes.

Sure, the notion that I'm wasting 4 years of my life getting a degree I don't like and might not even use is terrifying, but not as terrifying as the fact that I have no clue what I'd be doing if I wasn't doing this.

SURE, THE FACT THAT I'M HAVING AN AWFUL TIME DURING WHAT PEOPLE REFER TO AS "THE BEST 4 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE" IS TERRIFYING, BUT NOT AS TERRIFYING AS THE NOTION THAT WHATEVER COMES AFTERWARDS IS GONNA BE WORSE.

SURE, THE IDEA THAT THE BEST PARTS OF MY LIFE ARE IN THE PAST IS TERRIFYING, BUT NOT AS TERRIFYING AS THE IDEA THAT THE WORST PARTS OF MY LIFE ARE IN THE FUTURE.

I'm overthinking things but nothing makes me more panicked than when old people say things that make it sound like life after your 20s is terrible. I've spent my teens and am currently spending my 20s sampling every flavor of existential terror on the menu, and and you're telling me this is the good part? Are you telling me that all these mistakes I'm making and all these opportunities I'm missing are wasting the most valuable years of my life? Why the fuck do the "best years of my life" have to be the years where I'm not smart enough to have any idea what's going on or what I should be doing? It's times like this that I really understand the appeal of turning oneself into a lizard.

Remember that regardless of what you are doing or what the time is, I am always out there. I am a real person who does real things. I have a physical body and am currently typing this with my real, tangible fingers. My skin stretches across my muscle and my bones, both of which manifest themselves exclusively within the physical plane. If we were in the same room, you could touch me with your hand. If you cut me open, you would find that I have a red, syrupy center, just like everyone else. My consciousness is a result of my brain's existence in the universe. There is no me outside of the physical realm and the physical realm will be around long after I am gone. Though you may always live a life parallel to mine, I won't never not be unreal until I don't live anymore. Even once you stop reading this comment, and even once you forget that you read it at all, I will remain a persistent feature of this world. And maybe that means something to you, even if the only thing it could possibly mean is a small sort of change in the physical makeup of your brain which reflects what your consciousness (which in and of itself is an abstract concept used to represent what is in truth the algorithmic, biologically preordained process through which your brain makes many (thought not all) of it's decisions) believes that it has learned.

In short, when you're feeling down, remind yourself that somewhere out there there is some dipshit, and that dipshit is me.

I'm tired. Going to bed now.

...is this website anti-homestuck?

Yeah Darkwood is probably my favorite horror game ever, and one of my favorite games in general. The narrative, the visuals, the audio and the gameplay are all so well done. It's terrifying and I would absolutely recommend it!

DON'T MAKE SUCH A FUSS ABOUT YOUR BLASTED SCISSORS. I WON'T BREAK THEM.

Bit idea: following the phrase "bit idea:" with something that is not a bit at all but rather something of a serious or emotional nature. Such a juxtaposition would surely be more amusing than any real bit idea
