    @nanianmichaels I get this. I often want to do the same but something I (think) I do well is bringing people together. It's thankless but I can do it and I think, or thought, it was a net good. I'm not really sure now. Maybe I played too much Death Stranding during the pandemic. But today, most of my connections are distraught. I believe we have to change people. We can only do that 1 by 1, talking to them, bringing them together... I don't know where to go from here and not feel this bitterness

    @nanianmichaels Like hey you sent me a one hour podcast about the American revolution, do you actually need me to listen to this or did you just want to say you were thinking of me? Because one hour or a lot to give up to learn nothing about a subject I already learned a lot about in school and university. I pointed that out and the person got very passive aggressive with me.

    @nanianmichaels yeah that's it. Just too many messages. Everyone wants you to watch this video or listen to this podcast or whatever... On top of friends beefing emotional support or other friends who just want you chat, then add in the people who need a favor and it's just a lot. I should not complain but it's a lot. And trying to raise awareness to this...

  • I think one of the things that make me sad as I enter this lonely period of my life is that I have very actively tried to combat against loneliness, as one of the most insidious dangers of the atomization of our society. For myself and for others. And I feel like, despite my attempts, it won anyway. And not only do I feel lonely, I also feel defeated.

  • Honestly I don't know how everyone does it. Writing on my phone is so tiring. I have about forty five minutes blocked out a day to try to catch up on my text messages and it's sometimes not enough. And it's tiring. Part of it is because I have trouble manipulating my phone. The precision needed to type is hard for me. But like also... It's a lot of time! How do people have this time?? What's your secret??

  • So I just saw a guy with a t shirt of a fashion brand reading "Funky Buddha" and it got me thinking that if I had a fashion brand, I'd call it Crazy Jesus. He would have a can of pineapple Monster in each hand, have bug eyes and his catchphrase would be, "WHERE'S THE PIZZA??"

  • A collaborator in this project asked me if I use AI to write code and I took that conversation exactly down the road you thought it would go.

    For context, he's a lecturer in a business school. Draw the conclusions you want.

  • So I went out to eat tonight and I'm reading a play in French and the waiter and a customer spoke to me in a little French. I think they think I'm French. And I guess they're almost not wrong. Wish the French were actually this willing to speak to me in French.

  • My coworker: "This is Adam, he's leading the platform development."
    Researcher: "Oh yes, I saw the platform! Very nice work!"
    Me: "That's very nice of you, but really, there's a lot of things, we need to improve on it."
    Researcher: "Oh he's so modest!"

    Honestly, I'm not particularly proud of the work I've done. I inherited a bad situation and made the best of it, sure, but in and of itself, I'm not proud. But then again, I guess we are often our own worst critic.

  • I'm sorry, WHAT??? WE'RE TRUSTING THEM TO SELF ISOLATE?

    I'm sorry, no, but this is like the one thing that'll turn this anarchist full tanky. Lock them down. Give them chocolates or like pickled socks or whatever they eat over there to keep them happy and comfortable but no no no we are not going to trust them to isolate themselves. We're not doing this again.

  • So one of the unfortunate things about having my work laptop with me and no other computer, the work-life balance is a bit more difficult. Mostly because I have to keep certain tabs open. I think the solution is to use a second browser for non work stuff. That way I can close the work browser and not, like, see an email that gives me an anxiety attack. I guess this is a good time to try Vivaldi!

How I'm Spending My Free Time

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

Cover of House of Leaves

A young family moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Total playtime in the last two weeks
