  • No. Yes.

  • Looks good, but holy fuck phone camera smoothing filters are out of control

  • Someday, every single one of us will die, some sooner, some later. It is this awareness of death that makes moments captured like this so incredible for our human brains to see. Everything, from the scratches on the photo itself, to the buttons on her dress, to her expression and where she's looking, everything is wildly comprehensible and humanizing.

    What is it about even a photo of somebody else's family from far beyond the grave, that feels so deeply personal, despite it being so obviously wildly impersonal?

    Is it the knowledge that, someday, I'll be nothing more than this photo of this one particular moment, lost to time?

    Being present in our lives is incredibly important, but my intuition is telling me that so it's reflection and imagination, and possibly moreso in some circumstances.

    Do you think that, on that day, she had photos or paintings of similarly older relatives that she looked at and wondered about their lives? Do you think she kept any of those pictures or photos from then, that you may have in your possession, even now? What about those that didn't make it? Do you think the memories are entirely lost? Do they even matter?

    There's a question I've found myself asking myself a lot lately, and for whatever various reasons, feels more apt than others: "What am I?" I look at my hands, visualize my bones and veins and my still pumping heart, and imagine the synapses in my brain firing away like a fleshy storm engine.

    What am I?

  • GIVUS WE THANKIS TOUND YE BLARSTED SHIVAS

  • 😬

  • Jfc srsly? Lmaooo

  • still? That's actually really surprising. Not sure if that's more of a whitewash or more of a greenwash. Like maybe the teachers are racist idiots, but maybe they know and just like the tradition and want to give the kids something fun to do that feels good in a dark world. I don't think greenwash is the right term for that, but yeah.

    I know a couple teachers that teach younger kids, I'll have to ask what they do.

  • Did the gold phone end up being even gold plated?

  • American here. I live in a Northern urban area, and have never heard this. I wonder if it's regional or old or new. Looked it up, the internet says it's Appalachian, so, Eastern US. I might start using this now hahaha

  • Probably short for "thank you for having me over" or another word implied at the end.

    "Thank you for having/picking/tolerating me as your guest"

  • It definitely sounds both rural and southern

  • Same, but that's hilarious

  • UR FASCIST MONEY ISN'T ANAY GOOD HEAH. NAH GIT OUTTA MAH SHOP. NA. GIT.

  • Aladeen Bucks.

  • Gold plating can be WAY thinner than that. I think modern techniques can be like half a micron or even less, and that's if you use pure real gold.

    But that's beyond the point. Why is he introducing fucking coins, again? And, what are we gonna do with this wasted garbage once he leaves office? These things are out in the world. Immediately cancel the entire program, government capture it all, let collectors have their way, and move on?

  • What the fuck is wrong with these people

  • I wish she would just put out 15min shitpost videos again, rather than 3-6hour long depressing feature films once every couple years.

  • What's that, you say? Your technology dreams are okay, but the way you implement privacy, ethics, and security are actually shit and nobody wants to be near you, you say?

    Well, who am I to tell you you're right.

    Maybe if your everything wasn't constantly hostile and morally egregious, you'd find more success.

  • I think those people are in need of a good hard rl slap across the face
