@cxgonzalez You're not that important

born to inherit a tradition, forced to become a DIY hermetic neo-platonist gnostic buddhist

i get filled with a sense of sadness seeing videos of nyc churches filled with young people. i grew up catholic and would love to mass important an entire ~value aligned community like that, but believing thing which are false is unfortunately a prerequisite

@hot_cocoa_girl we've all got the same potential for lucidity and presence, but the subspectrum points of conscientiousness, empathy, clarity, and resolution can differ dramatically

Actually what if there are meaningful differences in the level of consciousness between different people

@kasratweets the first lucid dream I had I forced our family to adopt my high-school crush. I got nervous when she finally arrived and went on a flying bike ride

new practice for agencymaxxing just dropped: lucid dreaming

There's a plot-wise justification for this, but for a movie about spacefaring, there isn't a single shot of Earth from the view of an astronaut; no vivid blue encircled by swirling masses against the black backdrop of creation. It's seen on monitors. In a hacky sack.

There are brief montages of Earth, but I do mean brief. Unlike The Giver's hallucinatory romps, our investment in the fate of humanity is not superimposed upon us by a director's discretion, as there is no one redeeming quality of our existence. Our stakes are our own.

I judge the quality of a movie by the volume of urine I'm willing to retain to sit through an entire screening, or more accurately, the duration I'm willing to endure a replicable bladder pressure. This necessitates a lot of fluid consumption during, and before the movie.

America must become a vassal state of El Salvador.

I've found that if I want my mom to have the last cookie, I have to leave two, as she'll never take the last one. By induction, I must assume she only eats from even quantities of cookies.

hoes think they Kanye, whole time they a daft punk

This would make me sad and I don’t believe in keeping compartmentalized secrets like this, but I do believe modern cohabitation starves a relationship of mystique and inspiration. Living things need room to breathe. Lovers must intentionally create their own sanctuaries and private routines, maybe even take the occasional solo pilgrimage or quest, not to create distance but to return with something. To gather more tinsel and baubles for the magpie nest, more fuel for the fire.

@iterogg Be forreal. Shen sweeps here.

There is one INSANE pick here, what is it? We'll randomly pick one correct answer from the comments and give a month of free iTero+

Celibates be like: hitting it from the nothing

@animalologist @ThinkingBone Which isn't to say we should go around fucking each other over, devoid of attachments, because our inner worlds collided and birthed another. Love and connection cannot exist merely as gifts. They wither. I love you because it's my fucking duty. That's what keeps it replenished.

@animalologist @ThinkingBone In response to the both of you, pain is bounded by the magnitude of its mirror. Tremendous pain cannot originate from the ordinary. The two of you found people who were in some way extraordinary. The love they conferred shared this quality. Your anguish has spared you the mundane

it was so cruel to break up with me because you were worried i wasn’t over my past, and therefore couldn’t be your loving partner even as i tore myself apart trying leaving me completely not over you, having internalized all this, convinced i’m now unlovable for having loved you

My best friend’s wife sent me this after our meetup last night.
