I've seen this look before. It's "oh god you're actually trying to explain the homework and not just give me the answers"

Yeah that looks dangerous as fuck... He's basically transferring all the energy of his legs pushing into however big the end of that arrow is, and right at the back of his skull.

I hope that bow is actually really loose and it just looks funny but people are dumb as fuck

Third eye, probably trying to draw telepathy

Sex bots being deployed as public school teachers is so fucked up even fiction authors wouldn't touch it.

Like ffs this is so dystopian it's one of those things they don't put in the history movie 200 years later because it's unbelievable

It's planned obsolesence. They make more money by marketing high tech/luxury stuff and having it break on purpose in a defined amount of time.

I got some Carhartt "worker" jeans, advertized as nice jeans for manual laborers.

I work from home in my home office. The crotch tore in less than 6 months of hard... sitting.

Expensive shit they want you to buy over and over again because they think you're an idiot. I learned to sew, learned to darn my nice wool socks that tore predictably in 6 months, repair and maintain my motorcycle, repair my plumbing, because fuck all this enshittification.

My new MO is to buy your shit once, and either i will say your brand is great or keep wearing my torn/repaired carhartt jeans and keep reminding people never to buy them unless they want to learn how to sew. Fuck these greedy pieces of shit.

i feel like way more people should learn to meditate because this level of brainrot addiction is disturbing.

i think one thing people miss is that counter culture movements sometimes win people over in the worst ways and they get really extreme ideas, or really extreme people get spun up in them and become little evil vorticies of power and influence. The sixties spawned the civil rights movement, peace movement. It also created the Manson family. There's a sort of yin and yang to these things IMO, creation and destruction. It's like a period of high energy and change and that can get used in many creative and destructive ways.

Some people see today as terrible and think socialism will fix it. Others, fascism. Two people agree that current leaders are failing, but for different reasons. And when everyone is demanding change, you can get some dangerous people to pop out of the wood work.

People like Musk and Thiel grow up in free thinking environments and in counter culture meccas and are a direct result of that energy. They dont run counter to it. They are a product of it.

Yeah, i think we were raised in similar narcissistic households and maybe others didn't share that experience as much. My parents got a scent of the gifted child effect and tried to do everything to nurture it.

For so long they made me feel like I was super special but as an adult I can see how unhealthy it all was, and how much they fed off that attention.

Maybe for some children it was a normal gauge of how well the child is doing, but for myself every little achievement felt like, "oh so you felt okay with x? let's see how well you can do x+1. You know there's a kid who took college classes at 16? I think we should sign you up. What about astronomy? Have you heard of space camp?"

I felt like failure was terrible because of how disappointed they'd look if i didn't take well to some new assignment. Completely fucked way to grow up.
