“So you’d take me out to satisfy your own conscience instead of making something of yourself. You could have had anything you want in this world if you only had the ambition.”
“That’s the problem.”
The gun fires. The room goes silent.
“That’s the whole damn problem.”
@tobestewart Lightbulb moments are always an opportunity to step outside the cycle or the mindset we’ve become aware of. It can take several moments of realization to finally take that opportunity. Sometimes people step out for a moment, then go back in again. Sometimes they take a large step out and make a big change — or they might take a smaller step.
I don’t know if there’s an average number of times before someone breaks out for a big change.
when ppl point out that Communist nation-states like the USSR have committed atrocities
and the Communists reply that the USA has plenty of their own
it is not to defend the Communist state by tu quoque fallacy
it is to point out that the atrocity did not arise out of the Communism
but the nation-stateness
@MetalheadDana extra points if she yelled it like a video game announcer
#ADHD life feels like needing a list somewhere of “Types of Media That Make Me Feel Alive,” so that when I feel like creating something I can remember the tropes and styles that I want to see more of in the world.
Otherwise I end up sitting here like “I want to create but WHAT??,” until I encounter one of those tropes/styles again and it’s like “ooh right”
That sense of object impermanence extends even to stuff I enjoy, apparently.
My husband is watching #Severance in the other room, and as soon as I heard the theme music my brain perked up like OOH BOY because I enjoy that show a totally normal amount
I broke a mandolin string for the first time tonight.
Yeah, you could say I’m pretty hardcore 🤘🏻
“But Ronen, that’s an incredibly common experience”
Common, sure, but not universal. There are absolutely people who thrive under the attention of others. If I were one of them, I think my efforts in music and performance could have gotten a lot farther before now.
@mym a monastery of himbos would be amazing, but no, he’s just a monk who happens to be a low int strong boy
@mym Hell yeah!
I’m playing a tabaxi monk whose gender according to his character sheet is “himbo.”
