How it started vs How it ended. It didn’t have to be this way, but here we are.

A review of how my year went lol 😂

Words reveal your model of reality.

America 2025

Yuge plot hole in the movie Home Alone. Kevin McAllister's brother, Buzz - who lives in Chicago - has a life size poster of Michael Jordan AND Joe Durmas.

Extremely unlikely... IYKYK 🏠🏀👀

Been looking at classes I want to take.. Again. I do this sometimes. I just can't justify the expense, even though its necessary to make the change I want. The cheapest local option - a community college in town - would cost about $10k for one year. That's all I need, though, just one year, cuz I know what classes I want and I know the masters program I want after that and that one year is all it would take to get in.

The local university made a hilarious attempt at scamming me. I've researched the fuck out of how to get this masters, so their lie was pretty obvious. They told me I'd need to do **_another_** year to get a second bachelor's. They said they wouldn't accept me for the masters if I didn't. Jokes on them, though - I never intended to do their program. I just wanna ninja those classes and then GTFO.

I've been thinking I've been going about this wrong... Instead of paying these other jackasses $10k (and that's the cheap option!), I should just find an English language program in another country. I think this a lot... But I'm still here.

Central Iowa staple. Cinnamon rolls and chili. Yes you actually mix the bites and it’s incredible. Homemade sourdough cinnamon rolls and chili made from mostly things we grew and canned. Mix of locally shot deer and locally raised beef.

New Nostr ad just dropped.

I can relate... with the dummies 😂

This reminds me of another convo, in which memory maps were brought up, and I think it's analogous - the human layer has no mmap to find the stuff they need to know! How much more useful could tech guides be if they were easily findable when you don't know what you need? There's a whole world of techy stuff that's effectively sealed off from discovery by an impenetrable wall of jargon.

Am I the only one who since Covid only consumes content through podcasts? Since Covid I literally can’t watch any kind of tv’s or movies or any streaming. I’m completely disgusted by professional sports which I used to love , I’m completely disgusted by movies and shows. I always hated the system and was into “conspiracy theories “ but now I see literally everything as a fake fucking scam!

Three people have apologized to me in the last five minutes that did little if anything wrong.

When people apologize too much, what it kind of reminds me of is, "I'm sorry for existing."

People, you have my eternal permission to exist.

No apologies necessary.

In case you didn’t know, you’re not allowed to make statements on the internet unless you acknowledge every possible exception. TIL.

Cinema has become incapable of conveying the truth of life. It's always just opportunistic crap. You'd think that with everyone having a smartphone, anyone could make documentaries or stage any play they want…

But no — all we manage is ten thousand identical TikTok trends per minute, and lies, lies everywhere.
