shockingly enough I don't think you understood what I said

i don't understand anything you say tbh

Antinatalism is a shit meme and you should feel bad. Also, what's your favorite season of archer?

I haven't been as committed to the show as I should be, sorry

I've liked everything I've seen on FOX and of Dreamland

Vice sucked tho

tbh I'm like the opposite of Class

I just want people to like me (not love, that's too much tbh), while Class likes being put down

<3 u tho

i'm sure you realize, it would be a lot easier for people to like you if you were less reluctant to make friends over the internet, right

It's not that I'm reluctant, I just don't believe that friendship is possible solely through electronic means. The closest one can be is "someone I like", or "an associate". While those terms are somewhat derogatory for someone you've spoken to face-to-face, it's one of the highest honers that one who isn't known personally can have.

just could never agree with this perspective, considering how much closer i am to my internet friends than i am to my in-person friends

not to throw them under the bus or anything, but over the years i've only become more and more detached from them—the barriers we put up on the internet are ultimately no different from the barriers we put up in the physical world

lately, i feel like i know my in-person friends less and less the more i talk to them

Vice was alright, certainly not my favorite.

the thing is I don't want to be outright hated, more of a sol thing where people like me but still put me down

and the funny thing is that some people think I'm sitting here getting off to people being mean to me, but its more because the meanness just gives me a feeling of pure catharsis and relief - I can go to writing.com if I want to get off lol



posts like this are just so amazing

Spoiler

from a purely psychological standpoint I probably developed the sub kink as a result of my general need to be disparaged, not the other way around

I know what you mean. The relief of knowing people appreciate you is good, but it's also euphoric to know why people dislike you.

have you seen wonder woman or do you care

archer is dogshit

archer is dogshit

I mean, a lot of the humor is derived from the fact that Archer is a terrible person

It's a "laugh at him, not with him" situation. H. Jon Benjamin is one of my favorite VAs tho.

Ultimately this is an anecdotal thing, but I know the intimate details of all of my bffs lives

And while I also know some intimate details of the lives of people I know online, the digital barrier keeps me from associating with them more closely.

Maybe, but that's not something you recognize when you view the film. There are no actors. Harrison Ford isn't in a studio running from a prop, Indiana Jones is desperately sprinting away from a giant boulder that's about to crush him. The actor doesn't exist, and neither do any meta aspects like film quality or writing mechanics. It might be enjoyable to list off the tropes you can see, but it detracts from the nature of a story itself, not to mention viewing pleasure.

so i mulled this post over and i've determined that absolutely none of this is true

When is Psy going to watch "The Good, The Bad & The Weird"?

I haven't seen it either, so idk

adding it to my watchlist tho

It feels so nice being right.

Literally look at the purpose of a story from the most basic, caveman standpoint. Whether the immediate intention is to make the audience laugh, cry, gasp, whatever - the larger intention is to draw the audience into the universe of the story. Otherwise, there's literally no point in even telling it. Things like reviews, the recognition of common tropes, and any other meta stuff like that came long after, and were the result of the audience trying to gain greater appreciation of stories. But ironically, all of those meta aspects just take you out of the immersion you're supposed to feel as you view or listen.

i mean, so do i—but it's different, because people tend to filter it in ways that make them look better—pretty much exactly like people do on the internet, but almost worse

when my friends tell me intimate stories, it's obvious to me that 40-60% of it is fabricated or embellished, partially because they know i can be a very judgmental person, and i'm not afraid to chastise my friends for doing some some really dumb shit

and all my friends are at an age where pretty much all they do is dumb shit, as you can likely imagine

it's not that i get angry at them, but the way they are, it's clear to me that they don't like making me upset

so i can feel the eggshells they walk around when speaking to me, and it just pisses me off—it's like i'm not even talking to a real person anymore, almost like a caricature of a person i once knew

the internet is the only place where i feel like people are truly open and unafraid to express themselves, so the notion that your "real life" friends are closer to you will always be a joke to me

why in god's name would i do that
