there's a lot of talk about reading comprehension and one thing i think is the biggest barrier to people on this site getting better at it is simply... rushing. rushing to share something you haven't understood, rushing to have an opinion without taking the time to think about it, rushing to declare that you don't understand something

take these tags, on somebody else's post (condolences pip)

the thing is. this is what i would call an inside thought. nobody would have known you didn't get it if you didn't tell them that. if you recognised that it was important but didn't have the headspace to process it, you can reblog without commentary for others, or to come back to later. or you can save it somewhere and wait until you DO have the capacity to read it over a few more times, ponder it, consider what it might mean, figure out how to understand it, and THEN reblog it

but no. rushing to reblog while it is still opaque. rushing to admit to ignorance rather than spend the time to achieve understanding. perhaps hoping that somebody will break it down for you more simply, though to my mind it was quite simply phrased in the first place. never stopping to take the time first

comprehension is not always instant! sometimes it takes a bit of time for something to percolate after you read it; sometimes you need to read it a few times; sometimes you realise you don't have the context for it and either go and get the context or accept that it's not for you right now

please just simply slow down. you don't always have to respond to everything within a second or two. it is okay if it is not an instantaneous understanding. we all need to get more comfortable with thinking more slowly and more deeply and more carefully, and not letting our instant split second responses drive us all the time, because they are a barrier to genuine reflection

mixed feelings socializing last nite w/ local hypermoneyd I Bought A House Before 30 tech tgirl who is nevertheless funny and charming, showing me the various abomination 3d printers shes made over the years, e.g. one where the architecture is entirely based on a structural halo up top, like a carbon steel square with the XYZ axes all mounted to it, and then that whole ass'y is mounted on an aluminum extrusion frame and isolated with rubber bushings. the way i analogized it was "you turned a 3d printer into a tuned mass damper so you can run it at mach fuck?" and she said Yes.

the other one was a mostly-standard architecture except the z-axis was handled by brushless drone motors powering EDFs providing lift while running at like 110db and maintaining a layer thickness tolerance of .004" .

which is like, wow thats super cool. thats so like genuinely cool i like it. but also damn whats it like not having your job and socioeconomic circumstances fully chew you up and spit you out. you're so very carefree. oh wow you have a sailboat at your parents' house? haha. thats sick i miss sailing. thats so sick

“This personal and political state was the only one they had taught me. I’m always in the wrong so I’m a freak. I’m always destroying everything including myself, which is what I want to do.

Red was the color of my wildness and of what is as of yet unknown.

[…]

Longing equaled skin. Skin didn’t belong to anyone in my kingdom of untouchability.

I hadn’t decided to be a person. I was almost refusing to become a person, because the moment I was, I would have to be lonely. Conjunction with the entirety of the universe is one way to avoid suffering.”

Your family will straight up ruin your life if you let them decide anything for you. And what’s crazy is most of the time they think they’re helping you by doing it. Maybe on some level they love seeing you fail and prove yourself incapable of being your own person

Was the bildungsroman post that good?

I was just so smitten with it

I cannot stop laughing at the idea that socialism ignores humanity’s highest spiritual ideal: owning yachts.

#did he actually fucking say this

It appears to be accurate, yes. This quote can be found on WikiQuote sourced to a 2001 book of Reagan “wisdom” edited by prominent republican writers and economists, some of whom were directly involved with him and his administration.

In fact, the context around this quote makes it even worse. He brings it up to sum up the point made in a discussion between a socialist and a capitalist, in which the capitalist keeps trying to score obnoxious points on the socialist as she argues for a better world, and then gets smug about “winning” the argument when she walks off.
