Can Exotic Also Be From The Depths Of The Ocean?

That feeling when you go shopping and and have to pass up so many pretty clothes because you know they wouldn't look good on you 😞

Me @ myself every morning: I need you to understand that work is vital to your survival, and you must get out of bed post haste

And yet I keep replying with "is survival really that important tho"

Me and some coworkers one day, talking about getting maimed and amputated on the job: hey you know that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean when Barbosa detaches his prosthetic leg to drink out of

Us: haha that would be cool, we could have a peg leg like that too!

One of the guys: wait, keg leg!

Everyone: OMG KEG LEG

Everyone needs to calm down when the plane lands. You will get off, don't worry! I know the buckle seatbelt sign turned off, and that makes you very excited, but you don't have to jump up and push your way through the aisle yet. The door hasn't even opened! Wait your turn! Complaining and pushing each other won't make the process go any faster

i want to give my inexistent girlfriend tons of forehead kisses till she falls asleep in my arms

Anyone else randomly sometimes get offended that other people know things about you, or remember things?

Like stop that, let me be a mysterious nobody with an unknown backstory

It must be known

this blog hates donald trump

Look how many people hate him. I’m pretty damn happy about that 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Sometimes YouTube recommends me something I give so few fucks about that it actually offends me

Hey, look at me. Look at me. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you need to condition yourself to being okay with being inconvenienced by things. The first time I spoke about this I meant it in a mental health way- it is good to go out to the store and see people versus just ordering alone at home- but there is another more pressing societal issue you should be more concerned about as well.

Any service you rely on for convenience can be weaponized against you the moment you begin to rely on it. Streaming used to be a cheap and convenient way to see movies at home. It is now exorbitantly expensive, you need multiple accounts just to get what you want, and any of those movies can be taken from you at any time. And unless you have gotten used to going through the “inconvenience” of owning physical media, you can do nothing about it. Same goes for buying things on Amazon. Same goes for any service like DoorDash etc. These companies WANT you to be reliant on them for convenience so they can do whatever they want to you because, well, what else are you gonna do?

Same thing goes for the uptick in AI. If you train yourself to become reliant on AI for doing basic things, you will be taken advantage of. It is only a matter of a couple years before there are no free AI services. Not only that, but in the usage of AI’s case, it is robbing you of valuable skills that you need to curate that you will be helpless without the moment the AI companies drive in the knife the way they have done with streaming. Delivery. Cable. Internet. Etc. It will happen to AI too. And if you are not practicing skills such as. Writing. You are not only going to be at the mercy of AI companies in the digital world, but you are going to be extremely easy to take advantage of in real life too.

I am begging you to let go of learned helplessness. I am begging you to stop letting these companies TEACH you helplessness. Do something like learn to pirate. It is way more inconvenient at the beginning, but once you know how, it is one less way companies can take advantage of you. Garden. Go to the thrift store (older clothes hold up better anyway). These things take more time and effort, yes, but using time and effort are muscles you need to stretch to keep yourself from being flattened under the weight of our capitalist hellscape.

Inconvenience yourself. Please. Start with only the ways you are able. Do a little bit at a time. But do something.

That feeling when you get to talk to that one person who never fails to make you smile and improve your whole week
