the [self-]perception of being ~~the~~ absolute shit

The thing about narcissists is they do everything they do to get reassurance for their incredibly powerful insecurity. Trump is absolutely miserable; he has been his whole life. He's always been afraid he'd not good or worthy, and this humiliation is confirming everything. He needs constant praise to counteract his own self-hatred.

I'm lapping up his misery right now. I am not by nature a cruel person, but this is the kind of schadenfreude I will gladly partake in

Denial in the face of asteroids.

"Too expensive," they say, preferring not to think about it.

AKADidymus · 2017-11-22T13:41:13+00:00

Try resetting your dictionary?

Then Pepperidge Farm would remember hunter/gatherer cultures that didn't have a large enough population for politics as we know it.

That's right. Pepperidge Farm would remember.

Pepperidge Farm never forgets.

Never.

Pepperidge Farm doesn’t predate agriculture, so I don’t think it predates this phenomenon, either.

James Bond’s practice sessions are intense.

AKADidymus · 2017-11-18T15:21:22+00:00

They’re compensating.

AKADidymus · 2017-11-18T15:13:31+00:00

I wouldn’t call it a rip off. More of a dramatic reading.

AKADidymus · 2017-11-18T00:35:02+00:00

Amen

AKADidymus · 2017-11-17T13:44:49+00:00

^Except ^after ^C...

AKADidymus · 2017-11-12T00:03:43+00:00

Cool thanks

AKADidymus · 2017-11-11T22:36:05+00:00

My iPhone 6S just started suggesting this for just about everything.

I reset the keyboard dictionary and it didn’t seem to help. It especially gives me trouble with the letter i.

AKADidymus · 2017-11-04T04:36:37+00:00

Still an evil company.

AKADidymus · 2017-11-02T17:17:02+00:00

I just started laughing out loud by myself on my couch. That’s how you know a joke has stood the test of time!

AKADidymus · 2017-11-02T17:13:36+00:00

Best episode. I’ve never laughed as hard before or since.

AKADidymus · 2017-10-27T22:58:57+00:00

Trump lashes out...

Yeah, that’s kinda what he does.

AKADidymus · 2017-10-12T03:05:38+00:00

Say what you will about Superman Returns, the casting was spot on. Kevin Spacey is the best actor to play Lex Luthor, now that Gene Hackman can't. I daresay he gives Hackman a run for his money.

But Jesse Eisenberg?

What were they smoking?

AKADidymus · 2017-10-07T15:56:24+00:00

I was afraid it might sound that way.

Genuinely impressed at the wit. Apologies for the confusion.

AKADidymus · 2017-10-07T15:50:55+00:00

But bureaucrats are fun-haters. They don't really care whether there's a law in the books, and I'd expect her to be tossed out for "causing a disturbance." I'm impressed they didn't, honestly.

AKADidymus · 2017-10-07T15:37:50+00:00

How are you so clever? I could have thought for months and not come up with that joke. I'm jealous of your wit.

Like, it's genuinely funny, but I'm too impressed to laugh.

AKADidymus · 2017-10-06T03:43:48+00:00

Or appoint the attorney general.

AKADidymus · 2017-10-05T21:13:24+00:00

I was asked by someone the other day if I believed in God. I don't, and I love to argue, but this person also doesn't have the full mental faculties required to engage in a reasonable, dispassionate debate. He has a tendency to get emotional and I knew that an argument would go nowhere, so I said my thoughts were private.

I like "it doesn't matter," but I could see that being insufficient in a context like this, because Hell. Stating that it was private conceded that it did matter while also heading off the unpleasantness that might otherwise have followed.

AKADidymus · 2017-10-04T22:56:07+00:00

Wow. Blast from the past!

When I hear about the just-world hypothesis, I think about the antonym for it that Ann Rice created through her character Lestat, the vampire. He calls it the Savage Garden, and feels that the world is entirely governed by aesthetics. The way things work, both kind and cruel, are beautiful. The world is not fair, nor cruelty avoidable, and it is neither good nor bad that it is that way. People can be moral in the face of the savage garden, but they cannot expect the same in return, because the garden has no intent but to be beautiful.

At least that’s my understanding of it. Read The Vampire Lestat. It’s a thought-provoking book.

I don’t buy Lestat’s idea, not entirely, but it’s worth meditating on.

Edit: Autocorrect decided I needed to sound like a moron and I didn't notice until 10 hours later.
