  • Beyond autism, that /s has become all the more necessary these days in the wake of this huge wave of anti-intellectualism. Outside of private circles, it’s so hard now to tell the difference between absurd sarcasm and the genuinely ignorant takes some people proudly share, there’s too much of an overlap between the two lol





  • On top of what everyone else said (I especially super agree with experiencing new things), I can recommend art, either experiencing it, or making it. Art is basically all about trying to capture or recapture a specific feeling, by heightening it.

    Maybe the smell of roses doesn’t move you much after all these years, but a well crafted poem, music, movie, or some video games (I guess Flower comes to mind for this particular example) can reignite some of that lost wonder. And if experiencing them isn’t enough, you can always go after those feelings yourself, and make your own art, trying to bring back the sensations you miss the most. Heck, learning to cook an old dish a relative or friend used to make can evoke long forgotten feelings, “art” is a vague term.

    I’m both getting older and suffering from really bad depression, and this sort of thing has been helping me cope with this loss of feelings.




  • I sometimes really wonder if Macron is saying this dumb shit on purpose. It’s insane how consistently he chooses the worst possible takes, it’s really like he’s trying his hardest to tank his own polls.

    Le Pen would effortlessly crush him if elections were held today, and that terrifies me.
