Unironically how it should be, and if you aren't poetic enough to speak like this you should be locked out of the gym to shovel horseshit in the street
being 30/being a zillennial is really starting to fuck with me recently
i keep finding myself saying "that was 15/18 years ago" in conversation, and i keep meeting people who weren't even alive or were in diapers during my childhood and our cultural bases are so fundamentally different
a guy told me he'd never seen pokemon, digimon or yugioh because they were before his time
i found out that someone i knew when they were like 5 is having kids now
i keep hearing about all these youtubers from 2013-2017 as being fundamental parts of peoples childhoods and i have no idea who they are
its very unsettling...
most people think depression is "refusing to shower", but real despair knowers know showering is often the comfort chamber where your sins are washed away
The reason Tim is fighting so hard against AI disclosure and AI-haters is because Unreal 6 will be an exclusively AI platform. They're actually completely replacing visual scripting for AI. If you don't buy Tim's slop, he'll have made a huge financial mistake.

Me: I need to cancel my AT&T service.
AT&T: May I ask why?
Me: I’m moving.
AT&T: Where are you moving to?
Me: Somewhere else. Why do you need to know?
AT&T: It’s required for documentation purposes. It’s part of our cancellation process.
Me: Well, it’s not part of MY process. I’m asking you to cancel my service, not help me move.
AT&T: I’ll need your new address to proceed.
Me: You know what? Forget I said I was moving. I’m not moving anywhere. I simply want to cancel my service.
AT&T: Can you provide a reason for cancellation?
Me: Absolutely. Please document that AT&T is nosy, intrusive, unnecessarily complicated, and apparently believes canceling a service requires surrendering my future whereabouts.
AT&T: …
Me: …
AT&T: Okay, your service will be cancelled.
Me: So you CAN cancel it without knowing where I’m going?
AT&T: …
WHY DO COMPANIES MAKE IT SO DIFFICULT TO STOP PAYING THEM? 😭
Sometimes you just want to cancel a service without being interrogated like you’re applying for witness protection.
I don’t owe a company my life story just because I no longer want to be its customer. 😂
