Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 5hIf humanity as a whole needs to foster some aspect of themselves, its the ability to chill out and find some business of one's own to mind 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 5hIf every human tried as hard as they could to suppress their ambition and desire to make things, we would still have too much ambition and make too much stuff. Its really baffling to me how we've built this whole society around the idea that we have to constantly nurture irrepressible human nature 120
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It's striking how the pitch for AI is almost exactly the world described in the "own nothing and be happy" essay which many of them participated in hyping as a threat just a few years ago. Like they don't want clean energy but everything else is the same? 020
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Looked over to where my dog usually sits and said "Boy, I sure had a lot of poop in my butt, huh?" before remembering I was in a rutters bathroom 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Seriously can you think of a hobby other than hunting where the solution to them endangering the public with their hobby is to advise the public to wear PPE for months? We do that so the worst guys you've ever met can get drunk and shoot guns in the woods. 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If it were not for brush, you could see the church group pincic area and kiddy pool the state park runs from this sign. Maybe 100 feet for former, 300 for the latter. The dates when it applies arent even listed. Absolutely absurd to me 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I very rarely take the side of a businessman but I really feel like its probly unfair that Ea Nasir has earned his reputation on the basis of complaint letters. Especially since anyone buying bulk copper back then was likely also some gross form of proto-businessman 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026And understanding the times was a purposeful assault on student's ability to process and understand ideas by replacing that process with rote reactions and phrases 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If it makes you feel any better it sort of was for me! My high school showed us the movie in class. We had a whole semester of a class called "ethics" dedicated to discussing it. Our "understanding the times" class made clear that it wasn't 100% accurate, though. 110
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Everyone involved in this situation is a huge piece of shit, frankly 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The streets are impassable again because they were made exactly 2 lanes wide with no sidewalks to save the developer money 100
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The new residents of the development next to me have realized no one is willing to enforce the rules against street parking or idling heavy equipment and every morning at 6 a dozen truckers begin idling their semis on the street and it's so fucking loud 100

Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Can all to ask trivial questions not gonna bother to let me know youre running heavy equipment below my bedroom? 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Fuck man now theyre running a motor downstairs? 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also interrupted my nap so I'm going to have to caffeinate and compensate for that. Don't fucking call me if it's not urgent! 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ahh shit. Got an unexpected phone call about a low stakes issue from someone who knows better. Thrust me into a disoriented state right ahead of having to run a game of dnd. Gotta figure out how to get back into the right headspace or this is gonna suck for everybody 100
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026God From is some absolutely trash TV but I'm committed and I'll feel weird and bad if I don't get to the last episode 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Preserving group dynamics by posting this here without context: oh wow you dont have any substantive disagreement but your shitty kneejerk was still right somehow? What are the odds? 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I heard lucky fans at select theaters will be entered into a raffle to execute the actors whose characters are killed in endgame after the credits. Theyre gonna put a gun under every seat but only rhe raffle winner's is loaded 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In totally normal news, I gained 10 lbs in a week despite all the same problems persisting. 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The most common reaction is insist that "eugenic" and "healthy" are synonyms but more than one acquaintance has devolved into calls for genetic purity when challenged 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I know its a few cycles old already but ive been telling people about the "become dysgenic" story and every single reaction has revealed the assumption that eugenicists may be bad but the eugenic ideal is the goal. Alarming stuff 120
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Guys I'm starting to think system of a down was right about the prison thing 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The walmart is selling 3 chicken breasts at twice the unit price of nine chicken breasts so they cost the same 100
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026They recognize the symbols of competence but are so often literally incapable of examining the message beyond that. They can only imagine the quality of ideas as a reflection of performance 020
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I am more and more convinced that the more a person concerns themselves with public speaking as a skill and charisma as an attribute, the less they are able to interpret and understand ideas in general. There's something intellectually poisonous in judging public speaking as a performance 120
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It annoys me that the best response to the dullest thing you've ever heard is "interesting." 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026If your dog can't be around other dogs, they don't belong at the dog park. I know that sucks but you can't have the entire fucking park 010
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Carnation instant breakfast is the having to do the basic stuff when you call for it help of health. I know it doesn't work for me. Already tried it many times. But every single person I want to tell about my health demands I try it again before they'll treat my health problem as legitimate 100
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think From genuinely forgot one of their characters stabbed a guy 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not doing anything because your character isn't good at a check when there's no penalty for failure is some bullshit, imo. Like "i'm just gonna stand there for ten minutes while everyone else searches" is behavior that would result in a confrontation before long irl 000
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Given my weight and exercise level and failure to meet caloric demands over the long term, I'm a little surprised I haven't had any fainting or muscle failure 130
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'm at the familiar stage of a chronic illness where everyone knows something is real wrong but the tests don't show anything so I'm just waiting for something dramatic enough to happen to me that someone looks harder but not so dramatic it does permanent damage to my organs 130
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My parents were militant anti-TV people and I would sneak over to friend's houses to watch wishbone. I kinda wonder if I wouldn't have grown up to be an adult cartoon watcher if they'd have just let me watch my preference 110
Pretzelcoatl @slinkingflorist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Nothing helps with emotional regulation like shotgunning your dysregulation into strangers through the internet. Its not perfect but it beats the old way of doing it to random cashiers 130
