in the midst of worldly desires and attachments one comes and goes alone, is born alone, and dies alone. after death, one goes to a painful or pleasant state of existence. each receives their karmic consequences, and no one else can take their place.

sluggo’s always bringing these shawties round to fuck on his dirt floor. they make the room shake and shit falls from the ceiling but they can’t get enough. he shld have a modestly well-off cousin who’s never at home so he can take girls there and pretend it’s his pad.

dreamed there was a portal underwater to an earth where the americas were never colonized & instead of personal vehicles, everyone hitched rides on trams or long vans. the portal was dumping water from their ocean into ours (a bad thing) & i didn’t get how they cld have more water in the first place

people on the other twitter are always posting like. “i’ve had it up to here [gesturing at thigh level] with this site. the addition of a button on every woman’s page to harass her with deepfake nudes of herself is the penultimate straw. i’m about ready to seriously consider leaving.”

the thought of expending an ounce of effort to maintain connexions with others who like and might even benefit me is enough to send shivers down my spine. if you have talent or parents you can survive pretty long as a hikikomori sometimes. if you don’t, you become homeless and your teeth fall out.

200 years of self-cultivation and still not a good person but probably more of an emotionally closed-off hermit misanthrope than ever before

i love and agree with you all, but being unable to tell the difference between "rein in" and "reign in" is part of how we got here
