Just another lurker with optimism as dark as the pools.
Acted orange once, now into purple circles.

Attendre et espérer.
For every 1914, there's a 1941

It pays to know the difference

The past seven months were the most mentally unstable I've been in decades

And my room went from ~10% systematized for the past decade to 70+% in that period, full systemization within months

It's not the full extent, but if that ain't shadow work, I don't know what is

Happy Cyber Monday!

Unless you play Neopets where that word is banned, then happy Monday!

Way to make weekends suck again, Cass

Especially this one, and the next dozen or so

Happy Black Friday!

Too bad I blew it all last Thursday

I'm ready to own nothing (in my bank account... mostly) and be happy (for real)

In the sewers, there's a subtle difference between a slide and a crawl

The Maple Leafs-Titanic comparisons have gone overboard

... is what I'd say if they didn't suck on ice, or hit the bottom of the Atlantic

If pointing one finger at someone means three pointing back at yourself, why point just one finger at people when you can point all four at them?

And if they can't accept all four, them's the breaks

Thank goodness, it'll all be over soon

Pretty sure at least 99% of us hate this K-shaped economy we're in

But you know what comes after K, right?

You know you need to have some PSI to follow my investment strategy from today onward

No, not the Power Swing Indicator, the one where P stands for passive

And that's why I still think it'll work out in the end

Happy forbidden holiday!

Recession over... right?

The US is giving up on the penny?

What's next, handing diners the PIN pad at sit-down restaurants?

Anyways, if the year is a 24-hour clock, we're hitting 9:30pm, and it's going to be a hell of an overnighter from here

Plan A: Wait for the watershed to do stuff, it'll all be easier then
Plan B: Do some stuff now, get watched and judged
Plan C: Do everything now, get cracked down hard

2025 was the initial shift to plan B after years of plan A

It attracted drama, but less than plan C would

The leaves barely fell the past month, yet we got some good snow yesterday

It's as close as you can get of Mother Nature breaking out the Christmas decor before Halloween

This is the only time I've experienced this and I hope I never will for the rest of my life, but in a two-minute span, I came across three different YouTube videos with basically the same title

"People have changed and it's terrifying"

I'm starting to forget the last time I lost mahjong with them

Either they're all going easy on me... or it's the beginning of a prophecy

I can't do it... the ambivalence is overwhelming...

The dead ball, the loaded bases, IKF a split second off, Will Smith, Ohtani, Yamamoto, the double plays...

Games 6 and 7 especially are going to live rent-free in my head for a long time, and I barely follow baseball

The powerful keep trying to engineer an impenetrable bubble, but history shows it's not the new technology itself that creates bubbles, rather it's the pedestalization that the collective falls for

So I think it's wild people still question if rather than when the AI bubble pops

Life's too short to come up with a plan more elaborate than annihilating the one dependency I have on them

The only revenge I need is their inevitable mental breakdowns when they confront how hollow their own lives are after spending all their points trying to control mine

Where my gay bears at?

Aside from being based in California, the baseball equivalent of traumatizing the opposing fanbase/starting a dynasty seems to be the game-ending double play

And that's my last comment regarding baseball for a long time

Gotta thank the Blue Jays for the thrill ride as well, you guys have been awesome to the end, just couldn't stop those solo home runs

Yes, we needed him after all. 💔

Congrats Dodgers, and thanks for the seven games! 👏
