That's when you slap the "one per date" card on the table;)

What, cubes ain't cool enough anymore, we're doing triangle fractals now?

Well, that just confirms my suspicions that the system is a bit too... abrupt. I mean, sure, it's essentially a game, but the quality of writing clashes with the artificiality of the mechanics themselves.

And all that's left is to hope that alternatives will still be available.

Easier to just carry the groceries in my arms, the last accessory I'd need for people to fully think of me as a serial killer would be random lenths of rope...

You can obfuscate it so that people won't even know what they're eating, though... Wouldn't be the first, or the last time... All you need to do is get the meat into the country, then throw it in the shredder and process it until it is unrecognisable.

Edit: or not even that, just slap whatever label you want on it. It's not like the average consumer will do a chem test on every cut of meat they purchase.

I hate these... as a tall person, I have a choice between cosplaying as Quasimodo, or letting that thing wreck my boot heels...

Seriously, human existence is a collective learning experience, Stagnation started rubbing its hands with perverse delight the instant we forewent vulnerability and openness for excesive individualism.

Edit: I still don't know how to adequately open up to someone else, after a decade of trying to figure it out. After being raised to be a soulless performance machine and being surrounded by people who cave in to the grindset, I don't know what it means to be open and vulnerable with another person.

And it sucks so much long-term, I can feel it as though I'm being held back several grades, like I'm completely missing the point of my own lived experience and have no idea what to do with it, because I don't have the framework of a big picture atop which to analyse things, and I think that framework would be having enough perspectives which aren't my own in my life.

I've finally understood what Alan Watts said, that we can't know ourselves unless we have other people around to help us see who we aren't. It's because we know too well who we are, but not knowing who we aren't, that's like trying to understand fire without knowing ice.

Guess I'll just die, then!

That's why I bought a watch;)

Well, found the one downside to not knowing what day it is, thank you!
