Everyone's consistently getting mad that this is happening, but it's only because the world has gotten immensely richer. And too many of these travel-obsessed types are middle-class ppl cosplaying as wealthy bc they can "travel the world" now.

You are just not rich enough to /actually/ escape the crowds anymore - that's why you're upset. You've been clocked as middle class, you are getting a middle class experience, and surprise, you don't like it.

On August 1, 2004, Daigo Umehara had one pixel of health left against Justin Wong in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

He parried all 15 hits of Chun-Li’s super and won the round.

The crowd reaction became one of esports’ most replayed clips.

The 2am game:

[Morayita @moriah_bridges]

The most manipulative but effective thing I’ve ever done in my life was when I read an article about how children moderate their behavior to protect their self-identity, so if a child believes he’s smart, for example, he’ll intentionally study and try to do well to protect his image of himself.

Anyway, I would pull kids aside with behavioral issues at church and tell them, “David (obviously fake name), you’re such a kind person and such a good listener. I can see that in you. Thank you for always listening.” “Little Annie, thank you for taking such good care of the babies around you. You’re going to be such a good big sister. Can you be in charge of watching Sally?”

They would ALWAYS behave afterward. ALWAYS. Worked like a charm. Morally questionable because it wasn’t initially true, but I kind of willed it into existence. Tbf, I did think that they had that in them or I wouldn’t have tried.

Will publish longitudinal results of this method once my kid is old enough to report back.

Gen Z realizing one of the biggest shocks after college is that life no longer happens around you.

In school, friends, events, relationships, and opportunities are built into your environment.

As an adult, if you don't actively create a social life, weeks can turn into months surprisingly fast.

Men are taught to understand the difference between a competitor and an enemy.

Part of sports/games/business/commerce/mate rivarly

A competitor is a player in a non-zero sum game. Actually good for the environment. It resembles play.

An enemy is serious business. You are willing to destroy parts of yourself (and others) to defeat. Becomes zero sum.

Women often don't separate these categories. The distinction collapses. Competition turns personal. Enemy and competitor becomes the same thing.

turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.

Balzac was right when he said: When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes.
When they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
