guy who's stuck in a timeloop for so long he stops wanting to leave it. guy who started out trying to escape but slowly grew used to and became comforted by the familiarity of the repeating day. guy who is no longer who he was before the timeloop. guy who is offered a way out and violently refuses it because he can't leave, doesn't want to leave. guy who escapes the timeloop by chance or force or accident and doesn't know how to live anymore. guy who keeps going through motions that don't match the situation and keeps having conversations that aren't actually occurring. guy who panics every time he realizes he can't predict the next instant. guy who left the timeloop but still lives with it.
I thought I was late to my appointment at the ADHD clinic but the ADHD clinic knows their clients well and the appointment reminded me to be here at 1:30 when my appointment was actually at 2:00.
Me: oh good I'm actually on time! :)
Me, realizing why and being overcome by the mortifying ordeal of being known: >:/
One: a Nazi promotes her own speech about The Great Replacement (core Nazi doctrine)
Two: Musk promotes the post and says the problem with [Nazi doctrine] is that it doesn’t center enough in [Nazi historical doctrine]
Three: my ex-boss and automattic and Tumblr CEO jumps in to recommend Elon a book about [Nazi doctrine]
So yeah, my ex-boss seems to be full in the movement.
Now let me remind you about this thing called reality:
US population grew 0.4% last year
EU population grew 0.1% last year
World Population? +0.8%
None of those figures has gone under 0 in the last 50 years (and probably before, I just don’t want to look for more data). The population collapse the are talking about is about WHITE population. If someone talks about population decline, they are a white supremacist.
last night my partner held a somber little passover seder to show me what it’s about and when they got to the part where they were supposed to open the door for elijah they paused, frowned, and said “oh. huh. there is a clown.” and I looked out. and sure enough. there was a clown.
It's wild to me when people try to frame their dislike of a fictional character as objectively correct by citing how they imagine that character would behave in some hypothetical circumstance. Like, you're not even making up a guy to get mad at – you're taking a guy who's already made up, making up a second guy based on the first made up guy, then getting mad at the second made up guy.
