ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be
oh to have the brazen confidence of a 19th century american writer unaware of the concept of overfishing
maybe im back
Go look at birds and bugs outside btw. It can save your life
Not a joke btw. Please go outside and pay attention to all the little creatures around you, even in your backjard, the bugs scurring for nectar and the little birds chirping and flying around, try to id them too, read something about them, learn some facts. Sit and watch them, they can mean the world to you.
i’m a horrible texter but i’m also really bad at talking to people in person so i really have nothing going for me
how i see this post
I will choose Cat Grill Friend every. Single. Time.
my cat is meowing thru the window at the middle aged men working on the roof rn and they're meowing back at her
she's obsessed w these guys i should have put her through trade school
Despite every moment of life being indescribably precious and a wondrous mystery, I will spend it caring about dividends and how many rental properties I have.
Rich people are truly dead inside.
I can't imagine caring this much about numbers that absolutely will never impact my life. This person is making more in passive income than I've ever made in my life and he's just like "but but I need more :(".
I mean, fuck that guy, but psychologically it's interesting.
Some desperate remnant of his soul knows what he needs. As soon as his debt is cleared, he goes on to live what many would call an utterly charmed life: working no more than 20 hours a week, travelling and spending time with friends (which he, at $150,000 a year and no mortgage, has ample money to do). He has a loving relationship also.
But his brain is so rotten that he cannot understand happiness anymore. He is incapable of conceptualising it other than in money.
A man who has everything except the ability to feel it.
How poetic.
But fuck that guy.
I want to hit this man.
I want to rob this man.
Meow appears beside Rogue, holding a sign: "Heist? Heist."
This man is so so so close to realizing a fundamental truth to how humans operate, but I genuinely don’t think he’s going to get there. Although I’m not sure he realizes it this man views the money he earns as a direct translation of his sense of personal achievement and engagement.
Which means that when he says he regrets the months he didn’t pick up more hours to earn more money, what he’s describing here is boredom. He’s doing it in the crassest, shallowest, most income-obsessed and unattainable for most of us way possible, yes. But this man is expressing that once he achieved a certain financial goal he relaxed, enjoyed himself, got bored, realized on some level he was understimulated, and then started working more hours to meet whatever stimulated activity threshold he personally needs.
This is infuriating because this man experienced the counter-argument to that nonsensical talking point that if we meet people’s financial needs with a universal basic income they’ll grow lazy and won't do anything.
Anyone trying to develop $200,000 in passive annual income is not working three minimum-wage jobs to live paycheck-to-paycheck. This man’s basic financial needs were met. Working more hours to make more money is just his own personal code for ‘I still needed to use my mind to do things’ (using what might be the only metric of personal achievement he might actually have). This man lived the argument for universal basic income and I genuinely don’t think he realizes that. Once his basic income needs were met he still needed to do things to keep himself stimulated and engaged with his own life.
You see a version of this play out with retirees who leave their jobs, go home, and very quickly find themselves in need of new activities or friends or engagements to keep them present and stimulated in their lives. Ensuring someone’s basic financial needs are met doesn’t make them stop doing things, humans don’t work that way.
Reblogging for the psychology lessons
There is, I believe, a line in an Agatha Christie story about a man so desperately unhappy he doesn’t know he’s unhappy. “Ah, a rich man,” responds the nun.
Listen to the sound of wikipedia
This is a way to listen to changes to wikipedia. You are literally listening to knowledge being added to the world.
Pluck sounds are an addition, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. My heart shudders at this I love it so much.
This is so relaxing.
I COULD LISTEN TO THIS FOR HOURS THANKS

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Do you ever think about how pornography, like science fiction, reflects modern day economic anxieties? Asking bc I just saw one where in order to stay in an Airbnb she had to wear a chastity belt and she didn’t even leave a bad review after
these days the pizza guy is too busy working for three different apps to even fuck you
One of my favorite pornos (for nonsexual reasons) was this one about 4 women working as interns under one dude. They all know that only one intern is getting a full-time job, so they all decide to suck it out of the manager's dick, which devolves to an orgy. At the end after they wipe the cum off, the girls argue about who's getting the job, when the manager says "Girls, girls! You were all great, but the company's shutting down and we'll all be laid off at the end of the week."
That’s the funniest shit I’ve ever heard maybe I should try watching porn

I'm genuinely wondering, the answer to me is obvious - him being a northerner - but I've never looked into Wigan tea drinkers, so I don't know!
“how’s the writing going?” i’m glad you asked! my room has never been cleaner and i’ve decided to take up baking
Iceland is fucking bizarre my name change made the news
Like just @ me at this point I'm literally the only person in iceland (and very possibly the world) who has the first name Lauf
(Article title reads "Lauf and Birningur in group of new names in the name register")
No one lives here so now two of our biggest news outlets are vagueing about me lmao
Hmm you're right. Correction: two of our biggest media outlets are talking about me specifically because they are obsessed with me
This morning I showed up to work and my boss was like "congratulations :))" and I was kinda confused so asked her on what and she said "your name, I heard about it on the radio"
So far I have counted two online articles and apparently the radio is also talking about my name change so I'll keep you guys updated when I'm on national tv or something
With a little legwork we can make more people on Tumblr see this than the entire population of Iceland.
Have you no love for him?

sometimes i worry that i’m too committed to herman melville’s “actually whales are fish and i have the science and nantucketers to support that” bit. and then i remember fish is a category that means both everything and nothing and double down
i’m no longer committing to the bit i’m just committing
in honor of cetology day
