i also feel the boredom

but i think telling people their slop is unwelcome isn't "pissing in people's chips". there is a difference between seeking out someone to scold them and clearly staking out the boundaries of your circle of empathy. including online spaces

its not haranguing to say "that shit sucks and i dont want it around me". just like smoking

it also makes me think of a bill hader never aired snl sketch about Casey Kasem protecting his son from the mob "if they try anything ill come at them like a Lebanese torpedo"

i briefly worked with a nephew of Casey Kasem. he could do the voice perfectly

i really like the slang for a kind of mad dog enforcer being someone's "torpedo"

i dont know anything about the real history of US gangsters in the 30s 40s, it could just be a movie thing. but it is so evocative i love it

shes over it

some families just have all surfer children

actual lol

on of the best things ive done for mental health, aside from actual medicine, is set up a few group chats that vaguely align around a theme. music, fitness, star trek, literature, whatever

so much better than posting into the void

things like Owlcat freakout from "huge fans" over a launcher make me glad my clients aren't gamers

holy shit. who ever zeroed in on gamers as the vanguard of america's fascist International was insightful.

like all the not knowing how anything works of libertarians and the chattering echo chamber of a football club with the online habits of porn addicts

when i was coming up the techno-fear was the 'grey goo apocalypse' from nanobots running wild and just consuming everything to make more nanobots

i think slop has actually achieved that but instead of material it has goo-ified language
