I miss Dead Authors Podcast but I’m happy for his success.

It’s been a reaallly long time, but yes! Could very well be it.

The way I think about it (got this concept from somewhere, no idea who or where) is design your living space so that if one of those Chinese dragons were to burst into your home, fly through all the rooms, and leave, nothing would be knocked over or moved.

I have no idea if this actually has anything to do with Feng Shui (it did sound like it was almost racism), but it was a surprisingly useful image.

What - on a phone, hidden away in a bedroom or bathroom like it’s something shameful?

No, fam - we watch our porn in 4K in the living room, volume cranked on a Dolby Atmos home theatre set up. The room visibly vibrates with moans. Our neighbours know when we’re getting some self love and respect our dominance.

(Of course people are watching porn on their phones, it’s just a given)

My only counterpoint is that people have always moved to the next thing the web has to offer once the old thing has become stagnant/particularly shitty and friends/‘influencers’ (in the more general sense) move too. Remember that one message board? MySpace? Nexopia, if you were a teenage Canadian at the right time (or predator, I guess)? ICQ? MSN? All once very popular, all now relics of a bygone age. And truly old heads will have reference points going even further back.

There’s hope. Granted, we have far more people online than there were during previous shifts like these, and it at least feels like people are more willing to put up with bullshit from their online spaces than they used to be. But there’s still hope.

Specifically relevant for cis-hetero people, idea broadly applicable to all people:

Sounds like a fun Sunday.

So far, I have not seen anyone other than you express this position in any discussion of this document. You have not demonstrated that there are others who agree with you.

Based on this I am satisfied with my position.

No.

Buh-bye bucko.

It depends a ton on the person, and much more importantly how/if they integrate their experience into their day to day lives (see: great, you’ve experienced yourself as a node in a larger fabric of humanity. How are you going your act next week when the drugs have worn off and you’re back in the office? What’s your plan?)

I’d wager not a ton of people really do the work involved with that second part.

Some cats can open doors, the others will just keep reaching underneath them and flicking the doorstop spring until someone opens it.

Shut up and take my investment money.

(Please note I have no investment money.)

They’re gonna have to take that ocean pearl out of my cold, dead hands.

AROOOOOO!! WELCOME TO THE MF’IN PACK!!!

I SEE YOU BROTHER AND I CRANKED THIS OUT FOR ALL OUR GIRL BROTHERS!

I SUCK AT PHOTO EDITING BUT IT’S ABOUT THAT 💯 EFFORT! AROOOOOOOO!!

So far, it’s mostly been these points:

1. Murder is wrong. Thompson should not have been murdered.
2. Nevertheless, this was bound to happen eventually, and [people I’ve talked to about it are] not upset that Thompson is dead.

A lot of people are having trouble verifying it. I’m personally considering it fake until proven otherwise.

Would be super interested if anyone has a bead on the first share, 'cause it’s everywhere now.

Basic bitches: Can use their murder rock to scratch glass, I guess.

Bad bitches: Can evolve any Clefairy they come across at a moments notice.
