wait, no, a farce is when that happens, but they're also betrothed and do not realise it, my mistake

i would have labeled that "farce" myself

i think my life choices boil down to about 50% hubris and 50% cowardice all said and done

the source control project is simply making worse and worse life choices since about 2015 or so

yeah, that's where i am, except without meds (i'm treatment resistent!)
January 12, 2026 at 4:25 PM
i think seeing if it's sustained rather than just "body getting used to meds again" will help knowing if it's good or bad

as i assume "not being able to focus or get things done" also contributes quite badly to the anxiety and ideation tbh

i ask them to make that modem sound and i judge them

and then i explain they were lucky to have phone lines clean enough to do anything over 14.4

i do get it that it's fucking bizzare that footnotes of the obscurities of 2000s forums are not only the subject of content mills but successfully so

but uh that's kinda how it's always been, still kinda weird though

like i was pretty sure sa's legacy would be diet 4ch

you may as well ask what "this american life" is about

the secret online millennial handshake of screeching like a 56k modem

sometimes it isn't the story but how it is told

also, the "when i have my own house I will" dream/aspiration is still fairly common in america, and watching someone live out that dream turning nightmare is some schadenfreude

i have antihistamines, which made everything better, plus stuff for the actual infected rash which is also happening at the same time and itchy for different reasons

there is one you keep inside the house, there's one in the street, and there's one in the canal, at least one, maybe two
