like legit what does she get out of this? it seems like an awful trade deal. she gives up a perfectly pleasant night to herself doing shit she cares about and in exchange she gets to spend $80 on drinks/transport/etc for no reason.

or my long distance friend: he loses a nice night relaxxing and playing video games, and replaces it with video games but Worse because you’re constantly worrying about Conversing Correctly and you can’t quite breathe or relax for 5 hours.

i feel like i’m a fucking alien for not getting this lmao

i got invited to a night out :/

i haven’t seen this friend in like 6 months and she’s reached out (which i literally never do) and i feel like i Have To Go, in the same way that i Have To talk to my closest friend on discord about once a month despite the fact that i never want to. i feel like theres something fucking busted in my instincts as a member of a social species. But my grandma made me promise when i left home that i would try to have friends, so for the last 5 years i’ve been putting in some (usually minimal) effort but god i always fucking dread it, like this invitation has ruined my day. but we do what we have to.

i just wish i understood why the prospect of occasionally interacting with one of the few people i know makes me feel nauseous despite the fact that we are literally an animal specifically evolved to be friends with eachother wtf

AND its going to cost like a day’s wages fml

> early morning

> looks inside

> midway through the workday

“china wants to take over the west philippine sea - i mean, obviously china wants to take over the world, but right now its the west philippine sea”

^^ a sentence said with absolutely no irony at work and met with general murmurs of “well obviously”. why the fuck are Anglos so braindead about the rest of the world jesus christ

my area of science isn’t space, but yeah that is genuinely and unironically my life plan. Xi please

yeah this is the first general election i’ve been old enough to vote in. i didn’t realise just how fucking bleak it is

i wanted to vote northern independence but we don’t have a candidate here we are objectively northern wtf

but it makes my back ache

Teach me your ways, placid people

you just have to realise that nothing really matters, the vast majority of life is basically random, and you can’t change shit. when everything is bleak and pointless and grimdark to the point of being fucking comical, it suddenly becomes incredibly easy to be laidback

i think the term is “learned helplessness” - i’m sure this approach is extremely healthy and people should follow my example /s
