Reading Aella means having to sift through a lot of redpill/pickup artist philosophy. But sometimes she's really funny!

And they're correct on both counts

Actual conjugation I just encountered in the wild:

見たくなくなくってきた / mitakunakunakuttekita / I've started to lose the will to look

I hate this language sometimes man

[shocked--kwarrtz]

To explain the whole conjugation tower here for anyone not acquainted with Japanese:

見る / miru / look

見たい / mitai / want to look

見たくない / mitakunai / not want to look

見たくなくなる / mitakunakunaru / lose the will to look (literally something like "become not wanting to look")

見たくなくなってくる / mitakunakunattekuru / start to lose the will to look

見たくなくなってきた / mitakunakunattekita / started to lose the will to look

(Had a small transcription error in my original post, thanks to @kata4a for pointing it out. That made it look slightly worse than it actually is but I think my point stands.)

eventually i anticipate about half the population being on GLP-1s, which will be a big improvement to public health but also result in a genuinely insane spike in eating disorders

[shocked--kwarrtz]

Very important advice. I’ve been on GLP-1s for a few years now, and even without actively trying to lose any weight at all (I’m taking them primarily for insulin resistance) there have been two separate occasions where I lost more than 15 lbs (7 kg) in 2 weeks. There were exacerbating factors in both cases, but still, it’s been my experience that if you don’t pay some conscious attention to your calorie intake it is absolutely possible to lose weight faster than you intend or is healthy.

Sort of emblematic example of the difference between me and my partner: we were walking to the train station early and looking for a quick breakfast, and walked past a café with an open door and someone behind the counter.

I'm like, "looks like they're open, let's go in" but my partner stops and goes "wait, are they open?" and looks at the hours posted by the door, which I think said it wasn't open for another hour, so they turned around and said "alright let's find somewhere else".

So I poked my head in and asked "hey are you open?" and the guy said "yeah." so we got breakfast.

has everyone seen the website that gives you a rothko for your local weather?

[evilios]

Honestly it does feel like it.

I wonder if people would respond differently to the idea of rap about sci-fi shit

This almost certainly exists but I think it's harder to be... "Wannabe hardcore" about being a space villain than about being a Dark Lord or a Lich or whatever. Not enough good examples besides Star Wars. And "Rapping Darth Vader" is a covered category, thanks to the good folks at Epic Rap Battles of History, a famously well-respected group in the rap genre.

(there is, someone on my hard drive, an unfinished version of the Gul Dukat Rap, but the thing is he doesn't view himself as a villain)

[shocked--kwarrtz]

Didn’t see the context of this, but for sci-fi rap in general, Splendor and Misery by clipping?

forever thinking about that girl at my uni orientation who, after being told to pour out her water bottle before entering an event, looked at me and said "they tell us to stay hydrated and then make us pour out our water, this is like totally kafkaesque" and then poured out what was very obviously an entire water bottle full of whiskey. hope she's doing well.

"a Romanian scam artist tricked people into investing in an "eco-friendly" steam powered rocket in the early 2020s" sounds like a fake story your racist uncle would tell you but it was real. it was getting very straight faced press coverage for years. Governments gave them real money. they built "test hardware" and actually conducted "test fires". then they announced they would fund a larger version with a crypto token. what follows is a real official render of the proposed EcoRocket Heavy

Excuse me????

[shocked--kwarrtz]

Obviously I’m enjoying the snarky Pride posting, but the siren’s call of jaded cynicism in all things must be resisted. I need someone to put some unironic ones on my dash so I can reblog those too for balance

Gotta refuel
