Y’all, this mid-life crisis fucking sucks!

If you love putting your insecurities and perceived failures under a microscope at least twice an hour for over 6 months, well…. let me tell ya, you’re gonna have a blast.

Wow, but this sums up the situation exquisitely

[An image of the Earth showing most of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Indian Ocean, with horizontal latitude lines and vertical longitude lines looking like a balloon tied tightly with string - like the lines are squeezed down into the surface.]

[Caption below the panel:] Bad news: NASA accidentally shrank Earth's latitude and longitude lines in the wash.

S3E11: ya know, there’s no better feeling than hearing one line and screaming aloud “IKNEWIT IKNEWIT IKNEWIT!” for no one but you to hear.

Happily deleted Instagram this past Monday. Boy howdy, I cannot believe how that over-consumption behavior of that singular social media app truly messed with my attention span and unconscious engagement with my phone. I was only on IG for 15 months with a goal to be specific to 1 topic (curling) and it still messed me up worse than the last time I was on there.

If I see news like this, I straight-up leave that site or stop buying from them.

I left Facebook and IG. I left Twitter. I don’t read the Post nor do I purchase anything on Amazon. I don’t stream.

For a lot of people, they’ll read this and think “dude, you’re a buzzkill” or “it’s not that big a deal” or “so, what do you do to entertain yourself” as if I’m missing out on living life or something.

Y’all, I don’t want them to have my attention nor my money. It’s that simple. And ya know what- I truly don’t believe I’m missing out on anything.

I don’t eat at Devil Chicken (chik-fil-a) nor do I get gas at Exxon, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

There are a lot of options out there.

If people wanna know how I’m doing, they can text me. *gasp* I know, weird huh?

My money, my attention, my choices… MY power.

Heated Rivalry episode 3, the scene where Shane stays and hangs out in Straw+Berry to eye fuck Kip “answer emails”,

Camera focuses on him and an odd-looking loop-di-loop art piece in the background.

This is a key art piece in the Dropout.tv game show “Game Changer”.

Which is the name of the book this episode is based on.
