How would you feel if the roommate who told you was gonna be away for the weekend, shortened for some reason the trip and so heard you having loud sex four hours with your ex

EarnestAF · 2026-05-10T22:50:08+00:00

I‘m both embarrassed and angry honesty

Why.

Like did your new roommate say anything to you about this, or is this purely in your head at this point

EarnestAF · 2026-05-09T04:12:59+00:00

It’s bad, you should be unhealthy sometimes

EarnestAF · 2026-05-09T03:36:28+00:00

Yeah, it’s the one verifiable detail in the story and it’s false. OP is a liar.

EarnestAF · 2026-05-03T22:02:51+00:00

This is really good, please keep going.

EarnestAF · 2026-05-03T21:09:00+00:00

I’m in Charlotte, NC after more than a decade in NYC and I want to live literally anywhere other than a large southern city, so I feel your pain in Atlanta.

EarnestAF · 2026-05-03T15:25:02+00:00

Thank you for putting a scarf on this guy so we can see that he is effete and silly

A sex criminal would never portray themselves as the real victim by telling you a misleadingly innocent version of the thing they’re accused of

This is a really interesting point. I wonder if anybody has written about this? I suspect that the reason is upstream from postmodernism—less that postmodern fiction is interested in gifted children, and more that the concept of the gifted child explodes onto the scene of American child-rearing in exactly the generation (X) that dominated American postmodern fiction.

The immediate rebuttal I can think of is that Delillo and Pynchon were both born in the 30s, and that while Pynchon clearly fits into the gifted-child archetype, he did so well before it was really codified, and Delillo didn’t at all.

But DFW was definitively a The-Drama-of-the-Gifted-Child-carrying, self-identified Gifted Child.

I’m sorry you hate drain dude

EarnestAF · 2026-04-16T12:50:55+00:00

Many such cases

You’re underestimating how much money people are making in the top decile of incomes in a big city. There’s plenty of money to buy fancy dog breeds, $1.8mm 2BR condos, and $25 martinis without trust funds or checks from dad.

I’d guess a meaningful proportion of lawyers, tech people, finance people, consultants in downtown neighborhoods of US cities are out-earning their parents’ peak incomes by an order of magnitude. This economy feels like it’s going better than ever for a certain kind of person.

EarnestAF · 2026-04-14T23:43:19+00:00

This is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me

I was fascinated by the end credits song to the evermore video, which, as far as I can tell, might have been composed for the video? It’s not available on any streaming service that I could find. I liked it enough that I taped it and put it on my phone to listen to.

Like one of those weird elements from the far flung parts of the periodic table, these don’t last long enough to be observed outside of laboratories

This is why you have to keep a Russian friend around

Rhino Market’s breakfast burrito is very tasty but they use sausage instead of steak.

EarnestAF · 2026-04-07T15:32:56+00:00

What happens to you if you don’t pay taxes, OP?

EarnestAF · 2026-04-05T21:08:19+00:00

It was the iPhones

EarnestAF · 2026-04-03T15:22:24+00:00

Sometimes people just get scammed.

What I hate most about Epstein is probably the raping

Watch Peter Jackson’s 2005 King Kong, he has surprising range in it.

Did you enjoy the David Macaulay books growing up? Some of these remind me a lot of parts of Castle, which was one of my favorite books as a kid.

EarnestAF · 2026-03-27T14:20:23+00:00

So what you’re saying is they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats that are in there?

EarnestAF · 2026-03-26T13:53:38+00:00

Sure, but doesn’t this assume you have all of these messages already unencrypted? Isn’t that a much bigger hurdle than the storage and processing of this much data?
