weird | whimsical | flippant | a parody of myself

[powertool @the_powertool]

you can just... *choose* how to feel? at any time?

[powertool @the_powertool]

@kendrictonn Candide, tho I don't know if it's truly "art"

[powertool @the_powertool]

@__drewface @nosilverv Oh nvm visa explained it

[powertool @the_powertool]

@__drewface @nosilverv That's true only if you have good aim/judgement

[powertool @the_powertool]

slop happens when 1) production gets cheap 2) distribution gets cheap 3) filtering/reputation doesn't scale

[powertool @the_powertool]

Slop is just a function of tech. The moment something gets cheap to produce, you get slop of it.
But slop is not just a descriptor of quality, but also quantity (lots)

Cheap writing (gutenberg, ai) -> slop writing
Cheap food -> slop food
Cheap clothes -> slop clothes

[roon @tszzl]

i believe slop is a metaphysical phenomenon that surrounds worship objects without cult value and therefore will persist forever

[Hazard (going to vibecamp) @natural_hazard]

growing up i only heard "lower/middle/upper class" used to get at how much money you had + some nebulous status thing, basically ignoring any structural stuff that would actually shape the interests of different groups

this made it take way longer for me to notice many things

[powertool @the_powertool]

@s0ulDirect0r For what it's worth, I think I speak for most of the people who know you in saying that I already think you're worth helping

[powertool @the_powertool]

@s0ulDirect0r Who are the right people? How do you ask them? (I'm asking for myself lol)

[powertool @the_powertool]

@_genesisdayrit Actually to your point i once ate some sketchy fried chicken right before a run and set a PR on the way home...

[powertool @the_powertool]

ironically i did not actually grow up with dogs myself

[powertool @the_powertool]

I feel like kids who grow up with dogs turn out happier

[powertool @the_powertool]

@rslantonie Ya they're with my parents now

Took me ages to find these lol - I'm not really a photo guy

[powertool @the_powertool]

@rslantonie back in canada :(

[powertool @the_powertool]

@ResonantPyre I really wanted to like it tho. And it seemed ... close? Close to what I wanted from him (strong coherent atmosphere, moral sense, etc.)

I think I'll try 'a perfect spy'. it sounds like it was more like what i was looking for, and more mature besides

[powertool @the_powertool]

lecarre's kinda mid

[Antibodhi @Antibodhi]

@the_powertool you should tweet about how you didn't like that once leCarre novel that got washed away in the flood

[powertool @the_powertool]

@ResonantPyre With le carre, the world seemed much more narrow, and the writing was inconsistent (e.g. it felt like le carre himself interjected from time to time - kinda jarring)

[powertool @the_powertool]

@tasshinfogleman i think the moment i start actively noticing, the voice clams up

can't even bear to be seen by myself haha

[powertool @the_powertool]

what do people talk about
