Theorizing, etc.

@Samuel_Gregson @bcubeddd How nice—a translation from a sci-com. But who is the target audience of your translation?

[Acyn @Acyn]

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.

I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.

I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.

I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.

I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.

And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

That’s not allowed because it would mean people have to get along and that takes more effort than being upset

@TopGirlKeiko He’s probably depressed

[ave @avelineseries]

@bcubeddd @Samuel_Gregson I very much enjoy your use of the word “vomitous” to describe the referenced phenomenon

[ave @avelineseries]

@HetkeBrian But yes, I can see that you are making a statement about the ontology of external reality.

[ave @avelineseries]

Then I absolutely agree with your statement in principle. I have had that thought many times myself. I guess my question would really be: what do you do with that information? Or is it just thought for the sake of thought? I suppose what I’m trying to say is: what is your reason (if you have one) for sharing. Also, I ask this out of genuine curiosity. I am trying to gauge/assess how my thoughts fit within a broader intellectual context.

[ave @avelineseries]

@HetkeBrian But what does “mental” mean to you? And even if our perception is just a representation of reality, not reality itself per se, would it not still be fair to say that something “real” is in fact happening outside of us

[ave @avelineseries]

@chikabelleco @WoahWindi @lulleshwari It’s just not very complicated

[ave @avelineseries]

@WoahWindi @lulleshwari Yes but that’s only relatable to teenagers coming to that realization

[ave @avelineseries]

@WoahWindi @lulleshwari Vague meaning that she doesn’t specify any nuance regarding what’s toxic/wrong about her. Of course it’s a metaphor it just doesn’t convey a lot of depth

[ave @avelineseries]

I’d like to hear an Olivia song that’s about what made her think that boys were the cure to her problems

[ave @avelineseries]

@WoahWindi @lulleshwari I use that example because I’m not trying to say anything against pop music . I like pop music !

[ave @avelineseries]

@WoahWindi @lulleshwari A great example of a more interesting song is Hit the Wall Gracie Abrams

[ave @avelineseries]

@masonaksk @lulleshwari I actually like begged a lot. It’s one of my favorites lyrically on the album.

[ave @avelineseries]

Honestly yes. No expectations, forward motion. I think more practically, you can be great at something and mid at everything else and it works okay.

[Mustafa @oprydai]

being mid at everything is the cure to depression
