Ope Just Gonna
@futurecringe.bsky.social
Merging quarter life crisis into midlife crisis. Loving literature and non-fiction equally. Much better in person than online. Fiercely cynical outwardly as a defense and cure for the uncomfortable truth that everything happens how it will.
If you post on Facebook that you put on 7 sprays cologne minimum they might charge you with murder for when someone dies of a heart attack. Post responsibly.

Consciousness is the only thing there is, it is a field, and humans have been writing about it using one or another name for the concept since writing was invented.

Is it a big enough deal to block someone over? This is a fun video.

I have a right to say stupid shit online and then block anyone who calls me out for saying you can’t update an IPad without a computer. -real, actual Bluesky users

Do you have the first iPad ever made or wtf is going on with you? I have to go to great lengths to have mine not auto update and it’s like 4 years old.

Everyone I meet in person loves me because my online presence is my picture of Dorian Gray -every asshole online ever including myself (but I’m also just legit bad at posting).

It already ended perfectly when the reader performed reluctant cannibalism by revisiting (for the first time) the room in the middle of town and eating the corpse of the trilogy and then the rest of the book was slam poetry with Tourette’s.

Sorry Jeff I was taught author’s intent doesn’t matter. ❤️

Seeing a lot more half-famous people restricting replies on here and it’s just a reminder that everyone feels so entitled to their dopamine now they can’t even be bothered to interact with the digital proletariat in any way. Funny how that works even when the stakes are literally nothing.

We’re going to be doing DEI for guys with 80’s slickback hair. They’ve been treated very unfairly over the last 30 years.

It’s really an indictment of the people noticing my bad behavior when you think about it.

It helps to think of them less as people and more as brands. Once their morality has been bankrupted they are propped up by name recognition and venture capital much like Chuck E Cheese. Staffers largely do the work and all they have to do is not fumble the bag when they talk in public.

Some people have a transformative experience doing something and then their brain breaks a little bit and they attribute it to something that had nothing to do with it (like audio fidelity).

As for the being paid to go. Columbus famously has a large convention center. I was paid to go there.
March 17, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Oh yeah no prob there’s some unspoken context. (In my opinion and in my limited experience) people who live in Columbus, Ohio have no interest in anyone else. The word terminally is usually used for a disease that will kill you but in this case I’m using it hyperbolically (exaggerating).

We have congress at home.

Has anyone ever met one of the middlemen the podcast advertisers cut out? What were they like? Why do all those products end up at Target and is that not a middleman? They sell me on the direct to me model as better for everyone and then boom, middleman.

You’re not wrong but sometimes the insight is how people different from you tell a story or a different way to think about things that sucks but resonates with enough people to exist. It’s easy to want to optimize life to remove friction but that ironically generates more bad stories.

People there are terminally disinterested in other people. You couldn’t pay me to go there again (they paid me the first time).
March 17, 2025 at 4:16 AM
The powers that be had to pull the strings to breed your beard out of existence because you can’t sell products to someone without issues.

Many people don’t know the CR includes a prohibition on sales of athletic shorts to anyone who’s ever had a near death experience and used it as an excuse for their dumb decisions for the rest of their life. @fetterman.senate.gov

All my posts are full grain.

If you call Fetterman tell him there’s a provision in the CR eliminating Finish Line’s annual BOGO on athletic shorts.
Call each of these Senators to NOT vote with the GOP & instead grow a spine. Each number starts with 202-224

Schumer - 6542
Hassan - 3324
Peters - 6221
Durbin - 2152
Schatz - 3934
King - 5344
Shaheen - 2841
Fetterman - 4254
Cortez Masto - 3542
Gillibrand - 4451

They’ve been trained to be this way by their hyper-online, high-information, “I am very smart” voting base. If you don’t take anything but 100% as a win everything in politics is a loss. Repubs will crow about getting 5%, claim it as total victory, and gain voters tired of losing for it.
The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I’m not one to donate to politicians and it looks like there’s even less reason to start now.

If you’re one of the people who does, may I suggest taking that money and giving it to someone who needs it directly instead? Believe it or not, we can try to care for one another. Check on your neighbors.

Everyone making a plan like dying quickly wouldn’t be the most pleasant option. Go ahead and zombie proof the prison, I’ll be right behind you, no don’t wait up.
The zombie apocalypse doesn't scare me. Eat my brains. See if I care
