every day i think about that tweet that's like "i interact with people online like i'm in line at the grocery store but most of you interact like you're experiencing road rage at all times."

like my problem is genuinely that when i comment on something i mean it in 100% good faith as if we're having a conversation. and in a conversation if a person disagrees they might say "oh" and move on OR they might say "I disagree [elaboration as to why]" and I'd say "oh! you're right! I didn't think of it that way, thank you!"

but instead people read it like i've made a declaration as a state authority and they respond as if they want to draw and quarter me in the street

I have decided that The Murderbot TV show is actually an in-universe adaptation of Dr Bharadwaj's documentary and Murderbot's released diaries. It both loves (I'm on the entertainment feeds?!) and hates (I would shoot off my own jaw before saying that) this, but it has watched every episode.

I have a fresh hot tip which is that if you've seen people talking about the benefits of handcrafting but you just don't have it in you to craft right now, get yourself a bag of peanuts in the shell. or a pomegranate. or green beans to snap for a green bean dish. same tactile pleasures and comforting repetition, but the reward is a nice snack instead of a finished craft

r/Murderbot mods really said "if you can't use it/its for a fictional character, get over yourself".

i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.

listening to Gravity Falls episode commentaries is great. Alex Hirsch nearly worked himself to death constantly. Grunkle Stan was nearly voiced by Matt Chapman of Homestar Runner. Literally nothing aside from the twist about Stan having a twin was planned more than a few episodes in advance. The zodiac wheel meant nothing and consisted of random symbols from the first 7 episodes because the intro was animated after those were done. Alex came up with the term “search for the blind eye” to be an extra bit for the between-season shorts before deciding to actually have a payoff for that setup and writing Society of the Blind Eye. Bill was meant to be a joke character and when Alex suggested that he be a real villain Michael Rianda responded “You, my friend, have lost the plot.” Bill getting one episode in the spotlight was basically chance and he only became the main villain of season 2 because he was so popular with the fans. The reveal of the portal at the end of season 1 was suggested by Mike without thinking it through and he left before the next season and the other writers were SO ANNOYED after that went through because they somehow had to keep that plot going for the 10 episodes it’d take to actually pay off. I am genuinely astonished that this show came together as well as it did at all.
