I am closing asks because I've been getting relentlessly spammed by bots with the same fake charity phishing scam over and over again.

“Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn’t be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.”

I heard folks taking like "you've gotta check out this 'slurmcore' stuff, the videos are so surreal, there's definitely something wrong with the Gen Z kids", and then I looked it up and it's literally identical to the shitty animutations I was watching on Flash portals in 2001.

This could have been on the front page of Albino Blacksheep twenty years ago. It was posted three weeks ago.

It's fascinating that the desire to use crunchy jpegs on purpose to create this kind of stuff transcends generations. I wonder how they'd react to the knowledge that Neil Cicierega was patient zero for that in the 2000s.

Also kinda funny that we had "nightcore" in the 2000s, which did the whole "speed up songs and fuck with the pitch" thing too.

One of the things that really hurts about losing someone is how relatively quickly your brain can adapt and compartmentalize it. Eventually, inevitably, something will remind you of this person and the time you had together, and then it's like tearing off a scab and soaking the bleeding wound with acetone or something.

Then you realize that there is probably a lot you have forgotten about over the years, and a new kind of dread creeps in: what else am I going to forget? Will I even remember what their face looked like without seeing a picture?

There isn't really a point to this post; I'm just spiraling and I wanted to put this somewhere.
