yo @Ivan Ooze if you have that dream again maybe (if you're lucid enough) try cutting the hair instead of pulling on it?? that sounds horrible ? mommy issues my dude I've been having more intense/vivid/symbolic dreams over the last 9 months than I've ever had in my life, even as a kid. it's messing with my mind. don't quit smoking weed unless you wanna turn into Randolph Carter, kids

tbf, this meme will only be true until 2040 (assuming 0% taxes, as you might, if you were a bezos)

oxenfree 2 really great. just finished my (first) run through it. definitely play the original first if you haven't, though

so I ended up really liking TSZ. (much more than Human, All Too Human.) Each of the four parts got better and more engaging - maybe I was just getting used to the style, not sure, but by the end I was pretty well sucked into its dreamy allegorical world.

idk if anyone else has that friend who makes way more money than you do and texts you pictures of their globetrotting and new additions to their house and shit but goddamn it's a real sfwp. I finally told my buddy - an incredibly nice person I've known for twenty years and who is not intentionally lording it over me - that he was making me feel like a loser, and he replied "woah woah woah I'm not saying I'm actually adding the second story to the house, we don't know if we can afford it" and I ended up apologizing for offending him

lol

lol I think he was sleepwalking actually, and he was withered and old, motor beast or not. would have been an easy fight to win, basically just one move:

realized I'm a bit too close to making a point to be posting in this thread - so here's a quite literally aimless/pointless observation in the same vein: it's surreal to shift my gaze between the moon and these struggling humans. the meaning of the moment shifts drastically depending on where I focus; not even a slight head movement required for a full philosophical replacement

yar, I have had to call the services (one of which is 911, for better or worse) to get help for some of these people. one lady was hallucinating so bad she was repeatedly punching herself in the head while screaming "I don't fucking care" and then passing out on the hot sidewalk (kicking her legs spasmodically - I don't like this comparison, but the closest thing I can think of is the way dogs kick when they have nightmares). called 911 that time so that they knew she was in distress and to treat it as a mental health issue (I wasn't the first caller). didn't dare tell dispatch that she was black, even though they directly asked. I have a friend that works at the city's housing authority and she is a great resource for knowing who to call, as well as just a fantastically compassionate person generally. very grateful for that. there are food banks around, but they all have different requirements and they don't really have ready-to-eat foodstuffs, so idk if that'd help the homeless much... also most of them don't ask for food, just that one particular woman. tonight there's a guy out there swaying in place making vroom-vroom sounds and raising his heels like he's on a motorcycle. maybe reliving glory days, idk. he scared a black cat away from the bus stop, causing it to cross my path instead. thanks buddy. he's just left now, having waddled away looking like Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse. Was listening to this on my headphones as I watched him. edit: just gonna add how weird it is to watch people walk past the man I described as if he doesn't exist, like literally just not even noticing. that said, I didn't approach him either; I don't think there was anything I could do to help this guy, he was truly in his own world, so I kinda get it... guess I'll also add I had dinner with some old (as in, both former & elderly) neighbors tonight and they had friends over - some middle aged couple from Portland. I brought up homelessness quietly at one corner of the table (because it was relevant to the person I was speaking to) and the wife of the couple heard me and quickly changed the subject; minutes later she told a story about their house (which is now worth "well over $1 million" apparently) and how a homeless man fell asleep one night outside "OUR flower bed!" ... I could have puked. ugh.

Harvard professor Avi Loeb believes he's found fragments of alien technology "We found ten spherules. These are almost perfect spheres, or metallic marbles. When you look at them through a microscope, they look very distinct from the background," explained Loeb, "They have colors of gold, blue, brown, and some of them resemble a miniature of the Earth." An analysis of the composition showed that the spherules are made of 84% iron, 8% silicon, 4% magnesium, and 2% titanium, plus trace elements. They are sub-millimeter in size. The crew found 50 of them in total. "It has material strength that is tougher than all space rock that were seen before, and catalogued by NASA," added Loeb, "We calculated its speed outside the solar system. It was 60 km per second, faster than 95% of all stars in the vicinity of the sun. The fact that it was made of materials tougher than even iron meteorites, and moving faster than 95% of all stars in the vicinity of the sun, suggested potentially it could be a spacecraft from another civilization or some technological gadget." tldr: prof says aliens made marbles of our planet and threw them at us really hard, rude

my heart keeps breaking for the homeless folks that live on my block. some of them I only see once, but there's one woman that sleeps under the awning of a hair salon across the street and I've given her a pillow a few times now (she kindly returns it to my stoop in the morning) and she always asks for food, and I do what I can to oblige, but I'm broke too, eating rice and noodles and whatever just to get by. I couldn't get her what she wanted tonight but she accepted what I had, and managed to smile when I said goodnight. god, I feel like crying. people pass my place all the time just straight mean-mugging not only the homeless people but me as well, and I just don't get it. I don't know how to help. there are some basic services around here for people in distress, but not nearly enough. I'm so tired.

reflexively killed a cute little jumping spider earlier and I still feel bad ?
