i imagine being in a tank is a very secure feeling when taking small arms fire. like a steel womb. i imagine being in a tank is a very scary feeling when taking large arms fire. like a steel coffin.

had several anti-laotian-communist episodes with Kahn

60mg of caffeine? shit, that's almost a full cup.

yeah that shit's crazy. i heard my married next door neighbors arguing, then a loud slapping noise, and her crying and saying "why did you do that?" oh and she was like 8 months pregnant at the time. haven't really spoken to them since.

this csgo pro event is pretty interesting because it is taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a country that does not have a strong csgo presence. somehow, israeli players were allowed to participate. gambling sponsors on jerseys are taped over. just neat to see international politics pop up in esports.

got sick for the first time in 3 years this month. tested negative for covid 4 times. felt like my lungs were doing the motion of breathing, but no air was actually being processed by my body. took another covid test, negative. not a fun experience.

thanks for sharing. in retrospect, i haven't had very healthy experiences with sex in relationships*, so i'm not in a great position to pass judgment, but i appreciate your perspective.

sex stuff*

hmm i don't see myself doing that much tbh. guess i'll save my money

my surplus value

we might need stalin2

yeah well what about uprisings?

i'm with you. i've been in a relationship since the explosion of dating apps, so i've been on the periphery of the culture. but i don't think i could have a casual hookup with a person. the reason i want to be that close to them is because i like them, so the idea that we'd do this thing once and go off on separate lives just feels pointless. i might as well just masturbate. i know of a person (who is a bad person) who has had sex with 30+ women, and that's just weird to me, cuz like, what didn't he like about the first 29 that made him keep looking?
