@pornbubdealer@dumbcane23@avramnotever well idk i like to go outside and go to museums and festivals and parks and beaches and do things with my friends so that's not my truth but whatever makes you happy is ok too
@1848enjoyer "labor organizer and socialist" with no knowledge or appreciation of the long history of grassroots socialist and workers' rights movements in the midwest? do you not know about the farmer-labor party? sewer socialism? severely provincial mindset here
"Happy Bloomsday" Uhhh this is incredibly insensitive towards people who lack interiority. Maybe consider who your celebration of stream of consciousness narration is excluding
@avramnotever@dumbcane23 idk the people living in the suburbs of slc or bridgeport have not demonstrated to me any stronger sense of identity/culture than the people living in the suburbs of milwaukee or stl. ofc we're both coming from an anecdotal place, so i am sorry that's the experience you've had
@dumbcane23@avramnotever 100% agreed that american suburbia is usually a hyper-atomized hellscape, but that isn't unique to the midwest and it's certainly not all of the midwest lol. sorry if i came off as defensive, just sucks to have a region you grew up in, love, & identify w/ homogenized as lifeless
@dumbcane23@avramnotever u are missing out on some incredible places and people and i'm sorry for that. the concept of chicago/detroit/minneapolis etc. being "scary and lifeless" is just really out of touch
did you know that apparently if you try to act normal the normalness doesn't come through but the acting does. and did you know apparently everyone can smell this on you like a bloodhound

got philosophymogged during small talk at the preschool family and friends event. had to ask my fellow dad what post-structuralism was. like a fucking dunce
