someone commissioned me to draw a silly little nero meme

Trapped in your mind, you are free to be the person you are told to be.

You can't enforce this shit and then opine about the "male loneliness epidemic" as itself a protofascist externality. Are men simply beasts, doomed one way or the other if not for the balm of sexual service, or is this an engineered epistemological prison of gender?

And they mean VERY specific forms of sex and relationship obligations, too. Others are as much failures as being turned down outright. Again, the "gay to eat pussy" bit from The Sopranos captured so much American reactionary thought.

The protofascist tendencies of male chauvinist sexuality are all, in an unarticulated way, about extraction and dominance of the act, and anything outside of that is potentially degenerate. You interact with women? What are you, a fag?

In retrospect, a lot of the "friendzone" stuff of the 2000-2010s was very much about the dread of identifying with the feminine outside the licensed exchange of sex, and that continues to be a throughline in how heterosexuality is discussed.

You miss you die. You hit you win a prize. You get pushed around and don't know why people do the things they do and no one will tell you what's going on in a way that makes sense? Well, at that point you'll believe anything, almost commit to everything. Anything. Just to feel something. Alone.

They must have meant good and truthful information not the same gossip made up shit that has always been around. The problem has always been how to decipher what comes out of the mouths of those we are suppose to trust.

A world without art is a world without answer.

Art tells you what is possible. What happens when all art is nothing but what has already been done?

What is the social layer that holds *your* world together?

Wait till it starts suggesting they kill people to “take over their souls”.

Ready Player One ahh world

A world where no one is in control. Freedom.

“capitalism wants you to be smol worm so cogs of industry can easily crush surplus labor value from your soul. you must instead become revolutionary faggot nightmare woman tovarisch. Lacan wrote about this. finish reading polysecure already so i can assign you Jacques the horny frog as homework.”

Everybody wants to celebrate the boys being back in town, nobody wants to examine the circumstances that forced the boys to leave in the first place.

Don't think too hard, you might hurt somebody.

Every corporate policy is vaguely religious.

I feel like you have to keep reminding people "this is our society, we can shape what it is. None of this shit is inevitable no matter how much they tell you it is"

I'd push back a bit on the Columbine line - there's as much evidence that the shooters were bullies as that they were bullied, and ... they were not well young men, and poorly regulated.

At least 6. School Bullying - Columbine Line Parental Abuse/Neglect - Sandy Hook Line Employer Exploitation/Abuse - Going Postal Line Local Government Bureaucratic Callousness - Killdozer Line Judgemental Religious Fanaticism - Pulse Nightclub Line Racist Political Fanaticism - Anders Brevik Line

One more for the chaos nexus. Emotional priming and programming is so damn funny. The algorithm is and actually might be a passive brainwashing attempt.

Yeah well if you saw what I saw you'd ask what the hell do you think we can do and I'd say I don't know I'm not in that insane asylum they call a war room.

She really do just be sayin' shit on this app.

Reality is a series of meta actors getting madder and madder that they haven't become God first yet.

is the gingerbread gamecube my magnum opus?

Deciding "miss me with that" is a fine thing to say tells me that y'all haven't been publicly shamed by your butch boyfriends and it SHOWS.

Language of one for a world of none.

I am now coming to the realization that Machinima was quite an interesting venture too bad it fell apart to having no clear vision of what it wanted except for everyone and their ideas.

They grasped for oblivion before they would grasp for heaven.

need to be less content with living in reality.

clout as a concept is adultist, misogynistic, and anti-theist.

Cursed Goofy can still happen if people want it bad enough

Once you're deep enough in the sauce of a narrative and someone else thinks you're into it fully, that's when they get you to do something you wouldn't normally do.

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?" The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

Make sure to amazon prime yourself for watching your favorite twitch streamer.

Self directed world but you have to do what the screen says, not you. Don't you feel in control :D

the fuck are we even doing here, oh my god

Uber drivers have the funniest thing they can do. Just fucking undercut the goddamn app. 1) Work for Uber for a few months 2) See if you can get those riders into being your fucking friend 3) Drive your friends around for cheap and they'll wonder why they ever used Uber outside of finding you.

i love this point bc it really is so absurd that so much of transmisogyny is predicated on protecting girls from the violence of boys so one would think that actively encouraging boys to view girls as their peers and confidants would be good. and yet

The state imposed a narrative atop religion to get what it wanted. Why haven't you?

If Stranger Things was remade today and set the same number of years ago as S1 it would be in 2003 and instead of a resurgence of a Kate Bush song it would be Hoobastank, the kids would dress up for Halloween like Neo and Trinity. No I can’t prove this is actually correct I am not going to do math.

Cig company said SMOKE. So we smoked. Facebook company said GROOM. So we... uh... locked down the entire internet solving nothing!

"It's not political" is an odd thing to say while describing the conservative mindset, though. The desire to be the hegemonic demographic, to impose your perception of "norms" on everyone else, is pretty political.

This is why it's important to have Arts/Humanities courses AND STEM courses. It all fits together, they compliment each other. There's no such thing as useless education.

Web-slinging is the weaponization of this thing of ours

All stories should be told from now on through seven layers of abstraction.

Kids aren't, you know, any different than they ever have been. We're still the same species. Any behaviors manifested by children are a reaction to facts on the ground, to reality. Because they see it for what it is, not what it used to be, not what we pretend it still is.
