@ruheisher Just when I thought I’ve seen it all

ngl, i have a fetish for making men cook for me.

The main use case for being insane (in a high functioning way, as opposed to a crash out prone psychotic way) is immunity to demoralisation. Things are stacked against you in such a way, that becoming cynical, hopeless and perpetually demoralised is a rational response to the conditions you are subjected to, because logically evaluating trends will repeatedly show you how improbable desirable outcomes are for you, and how futile many of your efforts will be. This is why rationality, whilst useful as a tool in isolation, is a poor operational mode of being - followed to its ultimate conclusions, it can only ever lead you to cynicism and nihilism - it will rob you of both force of being and meaning, because it presents what is probable as what is inevitable. It says, there's a 90% chance the thing you hate will occur, and only a 10% chance the thing you love will occur. If you are rational, you say to yourself a 90% chance of failure... that isn't going to work then, and by accepting the 90% as if it were 100%, you lose your 10% chance. In accepting what is reasonable, you destroy what is desirable. Instead of saying "against all odds" - you have let the odds define things for you - which is the opposite of what you want to do, where you recognise the 10% chance as the only acceptable outcome, and obsess over it no matter how irrational it is, until your irrationality becomes its own force that shifts those probabilities more favourably. This is why no conqueror is truly rational. They may employ logic to understand the structure of things, yes, but they are not obedient to it as a governing system which dictates their general orientation and approach to things. They do not enthrone reason as the master of their soul, because to do so would be to sterilise what drives them. Rationality thus does not serve you here, but pure force of will, a love of beauty, and orienting your actions through the pursuit of the meaningful and transcendent does - and it is that which makes this form of insanity attractive - for it is coherent, generative and ultimately self-fulfilling. It doesn't have to pretend reality is something it's not, it simply doesn't accept the most immediate and obvious undesirable conclusions as inevitable and foregone. This insanity is the refusal to despair because it is the refusal to obey entropy - it is a type of stubbornness that rather than yield to the world, bends it through nothing but sheer force of will. It takes a very strong soul to be assertively optimistic, hopeful and positive in a culture full of people complaining, hating and doubting. Believing you can conquer whatever you put your mind is to not a rational response to a society that repeatedly punishes your best efforts, rigs things against you, prices you out, doubts you, and is always telling you why you can't. This is why you must become beautifully insane. Not in the "I am perpetually paranoid and imagine shit that isn't even real" sort of way, but in the "I'll take my chances on making the improbable beauty real" type of way. You will, as they say, shoot your fucking shot. Backwards. From the halfway line. And you will keep doing that and keep failing until eventually... it goes in.

Money spent on a child is never money wasted. You can always make more money. A child’s joy is magical.

Walai, I know wetin my eye don see

Type of nigga to break my pencil into two in primary school so a brother could get on.

One thing I dislike about Nigeria, is that they’re not enough “chill zones” Like places you can go to, to just relax for free

@callmeolisah Sigh, and I was rooting for Norway

nah he’s HIM

Not a day goes by that I don’t think of my secondary school;those years are the highlight of my life.

That France squad na big boys’ club. Big big boys. Their coach is a World Cup winner as a player and as a coach. He made the UCL final with Monaco in his first coaching job. Their captain is a World Cup winner, played in the final of the last one. Multiple league titles. Dembele has won the UCL back-to-back. Ballon d’Or winner. Olise, Upamecano are Bundesliga champions. Saliba is a Premier League champion. Doue has won too many titles for his age. If he wins the World Cup, he may well retire at 21. Kounde La Liga champion time and again. The ones who haven't won a lot are the Manu Kones. Even guys on the bench have tasted glory. Kante will be smiling knowing he's won everything he can. You don't need to tell those players the weight of moments. They live it. Big boys.

@TVTimeSupport I really don’t want to see you guys go. Maybe add a donation option so those of us who love the app can help keep it alive? If it’s no longer sustainable, maybe consider open-sourcing it too. Would hate to see it disappear.

Can’t judge people for not understanding Tenet or Dune

Feels really good knowing my friend’s final year project was based on an app i designed

Does this mean we’d see Ronaldo in the next World Cup

Argentina are a very capable team All these stunts and obvious cheating aren’t necessary It’s just taking away from their credibility

Wrote a whole song about it. How me and this girl caught feelings online but never met. Won’t be engaging in such again🙏

The millionaires rn came from the hood

Physiognomy. What a beautiful concept

Imagining using AI to bypass AI This final year project don show me shege
