The only "noble prize" I care about is the nourishing warmth of true friendship with oneself, in which sorrow and joy are interwoven and overcome.

I mean, the most reliable way of boosting the stat is probably drinking potions. Still makes sense.

If you get it high enough, everyone and everything will become non-hostile to you. Conflict becomes unthinkable when faced with your extinguishing charm.

High personality Morrowind runs are funny because you encounter dark elves muttering things like "Damn foreigners!" and then you, the most lovable lizard on the planet, charisma personified, agent of the emperor, come along and they immediately go "Ah, my favorite foreigner! I would die for you!"

How do I establish a fluidly rigid routine that allows me to get around to all these things I need to be doing?

Correction: The memory of it is hitting kind of hard. I may be misremembering. It's been a couple years.

Never been much of a Borges guy, but that story about the jewish poet who is granted a year of frozen time in front of the german firing squad to finish his masterpiece in his head is hitting kind of hard right now. Maybe I should read some more Borges actually.

It could be the project concerned with dying well. I could call it that. It sounds nice, doesn't it?

At first it was an escapist project. Then it was a project lamenting the impossibility of escape. Now it's my grim purpose. It has turned me into a friction sicko. I will endure all this, and as long as I have means to, I will try turning it into something beautiful. I'm too stubborn to kill myself.

There may be Childhood's End type shit happening on TikTok and Youtube Shorts right now.

I've never been on any of the short-form video platforms. Had very little exposure to that. I suspect that, by now, clusters of accounts on there speak in something akin to birdsong.

Okay, I've started posting on tumblr again (tumblr.com/untergeher). If you're on there, would be cool if you could help me get the ball rolling.

This is not to say there is absolutely no exchange of information happening. I don't think humans are capable to that. But it's not the point. I got good at it before I understood it.

Small talk started making sense to me when I thought of it as stimming for people who are more firmly enmeshed in the social sphere.

"But what point is there in gripping the bars of your cage so firmly?"
I object to this phrasing. I did not choose this. I am merely describing.
