Why is it stupid beyond, “nobody else uses it”?

Ah yes, the stroad. One of America’s greatest contributions to the world…

I refuse to look it up and will just continue to tell myself that this is not a real person. It can’t be.

I’ve watched it countless times… Like I said, used to be a favorite. Then my brain decided to attach it to the memory of someone that I miss dearly…

Shit I find Tom Cruise to be an abhorrent person,

How is he an abhorrent person? I mean, beyond shilling for Scientology, which is itself abhorrent…

Everyone I’ve ever heard describe Tom Cruise as a person has only had nice things to say about him. Like to a weird/suspicious extent even lol.

Like he sends people delicious cakes in the mail and shit.

A movie I refuse to ever watch again but still.

Oh, I’m not the only one who can’t watch Eternal Sunshine again? Used to be one of my favorite films…

Crazy how things can be tied so strongly to memories… Particularly when it’s a poignant piece of art that is far too relatable. Charlie Kaufman is a genius.

Any dream experts care to break that down?

Yeah: it’s meaningless because dreams are meaningless.

I think I lost it within seconds of turning my phone on for the first time lol

Ah yes, the four cornerstones of dystopian fiction: 1984, Brave New World, Idiocracy, and Hunger Games

I’ve always been impressed when my dreams are able to time the end with my alarm clock. It’s like my brain knows it’s about to go off.

I feel like this shit could legitimately lead to the downfall of modern society. If it hasn’t already.

The thing to appreciate when attempting it is that mid-30s Pynchon was inventing his own English grammar. Some sentences are a full page long and it will challenge your memory.

He always seemed like a more modern take on James Joyce or something (coming from someone who’s never read Pynchon)

I’ve read nothing by Pynchon, so I have no real context… Is this meant to be in his voice? Or is this a character in the novel speaking? Thx

Nihilist hate this one weird trick!

It’s only a trap if you’re trying to avoid it…

Parallel construction

Cussy.

Lol I love that the color temperature of Omni Man has been changed to fit the screenshot.

It’s the little things…

I’ve learned that I wake up feeling like warmed-over shit whether I’ve slept for 4 hours or 9+ hours. So why bother going to sleep early if I’ve got something to do?
