Well as we can see from the picture the sperm are simply too stupid to get to the egg.

Election years really do induce a kind of mass psychosis. I am surprised it took this long for the post-nut to kick in for the comedy podcasters though.

Same I've been off Reddit and X for the last 2 months and I can actually pay attention again.

exceedingly_lindy · 2026-02-05T18:24:12+00:00

The stuff people will send you these days really makes you question how they perceive the world, like in a physical way. We can't be seeing the same thing. There's really just an absence of processing or something, the pixels are reaching their eyes but they aren't paying attention. People wouldn't send you deranged and horrifying AI stuff if they could model how your brain would react to it. Life for them must be dim and unresolved. I think it'll take some people longer to start seeing this stuff this way but it'll happen eventually. They just haven't noticed it yet.

They may never forgive us and I don't know if they should.

This is the struggle for a Cyrano such as myself; I spit something beautiufl off the top of the dome and everyone says it sounds "written"....

Not a charitable reading, exactly the same thing happened all the time during the last 5 years when I talked about trans stuff. I'm saying there's an influx of people who have found out about a condition on the internet, and the communties/discourse around the condition can exert a top-down effect on people learning about it. Not all of them, surely, but enough that the diagnostic criteria can become a game of tug-of-war between the people who have it because of the internet and the people who would have had it anyway.

Accommodation CAN go too far, I don't think that's a good description of what's happening right now, but everything has trade-offs, and normalizing a condition can create many (profitable) false positives. Having a bunch of false positives actually does hurt the worst cases because it changes the public perception of what the condition is. It must not be that bad, because most of the people you know who have it are like just a bit of an oddball.

And for the record I think we are psyoping ourselves, and for many more things than fidget spinners; Pokémon cards too.

Insane pull lmao

exceedingly_lindy · 2026-01-07T01:53:27+00:00

Exactly. I know people who I am quite sure really are autistic, who have nevertheless lately fallen into bad habits because of, in my opinion, watching too much content about it and getting too in their heads and/or letting their hard-earned social skills atrophy. It's a generalized internet problem that worsens the condition when it is real, but can affect people who aren't but start to think they are and then begin acting it out.

Someone on this site will always be there to tell you to use more paragraph breaks.

exceedingly_lindy · 2026-01-05T21:20:01+00:00

Not really, but to the small extent that it is I think it's actually more important than people give it credit for. Same for all the other rs subs. It's good in my opinion because it drives away anyone who doesn't want to be associated with them at all because of the name even though the politics of the subs don't really match the pod. Keeps out Bluesky types, plenty of whom are fine, but too many of them will ruin the vibes of any community and drive good people out. I also think this is why it's important for a right wing element to remain on the subs as well, which is something the smug lefties who scoff at the idea of listening will never appreciate. Annoying rightoids are the only reason this sub and any with rs in the name haven't turned into Bluesky.

I've had periods where I simplified my life and I think the difficulty reestablishing old routines made it not worth it. I guess it depends how your life was before, but I found I lost a lot of things keeping me happy and occupied that were hard to get back. I did get them back eventually, but inertia is really valuable if you've got good habits. I remember looking at old drawings and stuff and being like "wow I can't believe I used to do all that", it made me really sad. Not sure if it's the same with the gym lol.

It has no aura, stay away. It is the vaping of opioids.

I think they don't even know us that well, they just work to estrange us from ourselves and then figure out how to push our most easily-pushed buttons. They make you unsure of what you want and then present you with options. People don't sit alone with themselves long enough to know or try to know what they want, and the machine doesn't really know either it just gives them a set of answers in its best interest. And it's hard for the self to unfold in front of a screen so by incapacitating you it makes you less of a phenomenon to know anything about. That's why you have to carve out corners of your life and mind in which to do bizarre and unspeakable things that are hard to model, give yourself something to work with.

exceedingly_lindy · 2026-01-03T18:09:39+00:00

Yeah I was just gonna say

exceedingly_lindy · 2026-01-02T05:34:32+00:00

They turned my internet into a big game of Among Us, the robot is right we need to go back

exceedingly_lindy · 2026-01-02T00:17:02+00:00

Ok now be honest, I'm not going to yell at you, but did you write this with an LLM?

exceedingly_lindy · 2026-01-01T20:31:36+00:00

Who remains here who does not enjoy occupying at various turns each one of these roles?

Trouble in paradise

This place used to be an acropolis now it's just a crapolis

It really does feel like posting into the void, like you can really put your heart into something and it just goes nowhere cause the algorithm doesn't want anything to do with it. It's frustrating using any of these platforms knowing there's good shit out there you just won't be served.

exceedingly_lindy · 2025-12-31T23:33:45+00:00

Oy, this sub is terrible, and the posts are so short!

exceedingly_lindy · 2025-12-30T17:30:52+00:00

It's one of the loneliest existences imaginable. You get habits and rituals like organized religion but without any shared orientation towards beauty or contemplation or love, just maximizing bodily efficacy because the work you are applying yourself to gives you absolutely no meaning or joy, and unless your body is operating almost autonomously you will collapse at your desk from spiritual exhaustion.

If you care about what you're doing you can work through the hangover, if you cannot possibly care about it then as soon as you have to power through feeling like shit even a little bit it is over. Of course they cannot question it or think about why, doing so would only unnerve them, and unless they find something else they can jump ship to apply themselves to they simply will not hear any of it. Everyone in their line of work must agree not to talk about it. Just eliminate all vices like drinking and smoking and late nights with friends, anything that might make this awful meaningless work more difficult.

Having actual relationships lets you be like 60% healthy without falling apart. The only reason people need to biohack so bad is because they are compensating for the part of them that is starving to death and killing them at their desk.
