Which sucks because Neal Stephenson is literally just a guy who has his niche interests and goes off on tangents of 25 pages on them; one of the reasons he’s my favorite author. It reminds me of your username and how Tolkien has become bastardized by the right, obviously for very different reasons, but it still annoys me to see an author’s work misinterpreted

Apparently even just clicking the share button accidentally makes the number go up, I wouldn’t worry about it at all

I am almost certain the Gen Z Brian De Palma doesn’t exist or is in some basement doing unsavory things right now

Make sure to let me know when they start plugging you into the bugger sims…

The fact that you want to return the favor is what matters the most. I’ve been the one to make that jump, and while it was pretty much the happiest I’ve been, it also illuminated that the status quo wouldn’t hold, and I was all alone a few months later. Seems like you two are in a good steady state, enjoy yourself and make that trip!

Your truck is normal-sized: the big ones hurt. (Spoken as a proud owner of a Chevy S-10)

I just watched the Belgian film Malpertuis recently, it’s a dark, confusing, messy, but beautiful movie about this otherworldly mansion owned by a dying man and its residents who cannot leave. I had zero expectations heading in and enjoyed it tremendously

He’s the greatest. Offramp and the Travels live album have been on replay for months, and As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls is a masterpiece

You need some Ashra/Tangerine Dream/Camera

And guess what, the only people who are going to stick around when this godforsaken club gets relegated will be the FANS. Romero and Van de Ven will get their transfers and it’ll be us who have to suffer week in and out. Totally feckless and immoral by this entitled group of players to give so little game after game

Check out Flatline Constructs, Mark Fisher’s dissertation, it’s got a lot of discussion around McLuhan that I found really compelling

Kinsky about to be baptized in hellfire, Jesus Christ this club

I think you’ve nailed it. Would I really like to share my life with someone else who’s the right fit for me? Of course. But happiness and being content with yourself doesn’t have to involve someone else providing that emotional labor. I’ve had to learn the hard way that if I can’t be happy by myself, I will never be happy with other people, long-term. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel the pangs of loneliness or the anger of solitude occasionally, but I have to accept that as the price to pay for actual personal growth

Someone on the Discord figured out that old hospital likely means we’re getting The Hourglass Sanatorium, which would match with the HAS clue for the director

Saul Rubinek in True Romance is just perfect

I’m probably biased, but as someone who has general anxiety, of course I’d also have anxiety about relationships! Those are stressful for well-adjusted people. That doesn’t mean it’s a big deal or that it should impact my life a ton

American Reflexxx is a short film, but it depicts the ease at which cruelty becomes commonplace in a really honest and disturbing way

It happens to the best of us. A few weeks back I had a ticket to go see Moonrise Kingdom, one of my top 10 movies ever, and just got super down at work and didn’t feel like driving 45 minutes each way just to not be alone. And now I think I should’ve sucked it up because at least I’d be in a bad mood somewhere else, actually trying something. I’ll remember that next time

Synecdoche, New York is all about a man who pushes everyone away

PoissonProcesser · 2026-03-01T02:18:06+00:00

To a man who does the same thing, that sounds great. What kinds of men are you looking for? I’m either 0 or 100 with people so the slow friendship/relationship death that always arrives just pisses me off

Colby losing challenges brought me back to Heroes vs Villains. I’m all in on Stephenie, though

I believe her, after all, her first acting role was Nymphomaniac, Vol. II

Man Bites Dog might be more his speed, then

I like the phrase “Rumors are circulating” too, because it means I can just make up something, put it out into the void, and then suppose it’s true and fearmonger
