fuck being cool. i'd rather be a dork.

and i'd rather hang out with the dorks, too.

there's nothing worse than hanging out with cool people, who demand you conform to all these childish social codes that you thought everybody forgot about in the tenth grade. being forced to conform to all these absurd conventions is like being sentenced to a short jail sentence, or going to church or something. it's really not enjoyable.

the reality is that the "cool people" are never going to grow up and dorks need to accept that and stop pretending they will. that's this guy's problem. no, she's not going to grow out of it. deal with it.

i'm for all the dorks banding together to ostracize the "cool" people out of existence. so, don't talk to cool people. don't date them. don't have sex with them. don't hire them. eventually, they'll go away.

that guy looks like he might be fun to hang out with.

on the other hand, i would go out of my way to avoid somebody who thinks like that woman does.

i'd much rather have seen him tell her to fuck off when she suggests they hang out.

"you think i want to hang out with a stuck up, full-of-themself, hierarchical piece of shit like you? go fuck yourself. call me when you're over yourself."

although, if it was me (in a past life), i wouldn't have gotten that far because i wouldn't have even stopped to talk to her. the closest i would have gotten to communication with a stuck-up piece of shit like that would have been a really nasty dirty look.

a girl like that will you drop you with the next fashion trend. you're nothing to her but an accessory to be taken in and out of her wardrobe. if indie boys were hot last season, and jocks are the new rage, you're gone as fast as the name brand on her purse changes.

it's the increasing process of commodifying everything around us, reducing every aspect of our lives to a capitalist relation with a market mechanism. it's going to define your relationships for your entire life. you should get an understanding of it.

Do you really look like that in your picture...

deathtokoalas
i look exactly like that, in my picture.

poor you.

i'm trying to empower myself; your pity is very misplaced. i don't need your cool kid approval to justify my nerdiness.

i'm sorry, but all the viral videos are trash right now. i'm fed up with taylor swift and nicki minaj and jimmy fallon (i fucking despise jimmy fallon) and pewdiepie and ellen. stop sharing this crap. stop watching it. i mean, get your fucking tv off my youtube to start with, i don't want to see it. i don't want to even know it exists.

go forth and watch better youtube videos. give me something to troll! what you're watching is just shit, i can't work with this garbage.

it's kind of comical watching these. part of the reason the reporters are so easily intimidated by her is that they're just totally clueless.

she knows she doesn't have any more information on israel's spying to give them. they know she doesn't, either. yet, they try every stupid trick there is - like a freshman trying to get the TA's phone number.

again: this seems to be working right there in that room. but, it's very easy to deconstruct from a distance from the video.

so weird how sleeping patterns respond so quickly to the weather.

excluding a few nights where i was sick or mildly drunk, i didn't sleep much more than 4 hours a night all summer. that's normal for me. and it wasn't a hot summer. but as soon as the cold hits, i'm sleeping 10+ hours again.

there are two kinds of "two kinds of..." arguments. there's the kind that correctly interprets the situation as binary (and is usually trivial), and there's the kind that misinterprets a complex situation as something binary and subsequently completely ignores a myriad of subtle and synthesized positions.

or....

there are two kinds of "two kinds of..." arguments. there are the ones that are trivial, and the ones that are wrong.

wow. that usb card was $3.00 from a reseller in hong kong who isn't paying forty-three layers of white bourgeois parasites to distribute it to myself up in canada - with free shipping. no wonder the businesses are going under.

and they should go under. that's progress. fuck the capitalist distribution system, buy direct from asia...

i mean, what's more efficient:

a) the bourgeois computer store down the street randomly buys stock in an attempt to guess what people might want and is constantly under and over stocked as a result of not being clairvoyent, producing a much higher carbon footprint than is necessary. you, the customer, have to pay his mortgage for this "service".

b) i buy what i want when i want it at the same price that the bourgeois computer store does, don't have to pay his mortgage and reduce waste by only shipping over what's requested.

it'd be nice if we didn't have to buy everything from asia, but one thing at a time...

it's not like this is news, but the price differential has really become staggering and it's gotten to the point where it's hard to see how physical retailers can compete in any way other than the impulse factor of getting it right now.

i've said this before: this economy clinton set up where we create all these jobs selling things that are made elsewhere isn't sustainable. first the production jobs got sent out on purpose. next, the sales jobs are going to disappear as technology completely abolishes the need for humans to sit in stores and sell things.

as a socialist, it sounds like good news. but that's a lot of unemployed people, too, and it's going to require the exact opposite of the systemic adjustments that have been unfolding since clinton....
