Why does the gym have so many weights that would be easier to move with a forklift? https://t.co/QwH5gUpPA8
It's so funny that poison/toxin/venom is just shapes. You imagine them as like acid or heat or something, a physically destructive thing in some fundamental way but no. They are just the wrong shape and fit into places they shouldn't because of the shapes you have
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone found the first cryptid in latent space. . . too bad many of the big cryptid artists on here have preemptively decided AI art has nothing to offer them https://t.co/2jgaLIYbV7
Finally, a textbook illustration that gets how cool it'd be to have an internal parasite (stolen from @scienceshitpost on fb) https://t.co/IMmnQayf5J
My god, this guy is doing scicomm on a whole new level. I'm transfixed https://t.co/1EhxOU6y8o
@roxiqt It's Gilbert! He also loves to go to the aquarium and watch his turtle friends: https://t.co/M33d4OZ7DV
I still can't believe they just leave stuff like this lying around in the woods https://t.co/gCrUWPLGvZ
@fomosurfer This is very dispiriting for me personally because to the extent it's true, it confirms that attraction was never a bottleneck for me and the things that actually stop me from getting dates are even harder to influence
in case you've ever wondered what all those mouthparts are for https://t.co/MGwIowy2tv
It didn't surprise me when Peterson-tier conservatives made this mistake but idk what excuse anyone else has. Relativism is a descriptive statement about how values are grounded; if you accept it then you believe it grounds your existing values perfectly well!
I'm averse to posting about this I think because it basically amounts to Regret, and a cussed refusal to regret has been one of my core personality traits since childhood. I've always been very jealous of my in-the-moment joy and gratitude.

someone made this @PleaseBeGneiss joke into a real thing lmao https://t.co/6yr46B5n5e
In high school and undergrad, I was surrounded by remarkable young women, and ofc I crushed on and fell for lots of them. Sometimes that went somewhere, but never very far. At that time I "knew" I would never want children, and marriage or even conventional dating felt square
When opportunities arose, I didn't know what to ask for or what to offer. I enjoyed the connections for what they were, then they fizzled out and I was sad about it but tried to remind myself that this was supposed to be what I wanted.
I wanted to see myself as a Goldmund-style wandering lover, but I didn't have the boldness or the conviction to reach for that. In my heart I wanted something secure, but I couldn't admit that and articulate it as a goal or model to strive for
@eigen_spectra Correct https://t.co/Z7dhcjijBk
Certainly supports that @Noahpinion thesis that the military is the only way we can get things done in the US https://t.co/UBd4NMXnYa

Loose Vibecamp thoughts: Headline is simply that all of this is real. Your mutuals are your friends, the people you follow but don't know you yet would like you, the community you've cultivated here deserves the trust and respect and admiration you've placed in it.
At field camp in my senior study abroad program in Tanzania, we went around telling our life stories at the bonfire each night. Someone remarked, "there're so many girls in your story" and I was surprised--I'd never had a serious gf, romance wasn't part of my self-concept

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I have rarely felt as loved, and never felt as lonely. I went to Santa Fe to try ecstatic dance (an event I'd only heard bad things about!). It made me feel sorry for myself so I went to the store and ate a lb of bluebs in the parking lot
It's funny to look back on how oblivious I was to that unalignment. I thought about it all the time, but I don't recall ever once even approaching a thought like "I'd obviously like to have a girlfriend, what steps would I take to make that happen?"
Taco restaurant closed but turkey vulture in parking lot https://t.co/PHfTv0nEPQ
Finally an "animals are poor" meme https://t.co/aelBd0IMOM
After I graduated, I stopped meeting women, so I stopped having crushes. I still had no goal to work toward, so I didn't feel the need to change that situation. I was living with my bff, socially and intellectually fulfilled, raising pet rats, happy as always
How to find a needle in a haystack: 1) become more magnetic 2) run your hands through lots of parts of the pile 3) shine a bright light 4) hone your eyes to see the glints 5) tell everyone you meet what a needle looks like and ask if they've seen one lately

Guy who extends this argument to the full skillset employed in the global industrial economy to trick people into understanding they're already part of a much better system than they dream of creating https://t.co/E82j33igxA
A two-pronged bristletail, one of the basal hexapod orders and something I'd never seen before. This one lives under a log in the next block over #InverteFest https://t.co/3k2vLSi8c2
I wrote a piece exploring why the "Postmodernism is destroying The West" rhetoric got so popular with the Rationals https://t.co/d0ePe7zrt6
There's some kind of e-shrike active in our neighborhood?? https://t.co/hGVXCrQlII
tpot has been huge for me in that regard. It's the first community in my life where long-term, structured romance has been explicitly valued as a proactive, intentional project worth earnestly and uncynically investing in for its own sake.
I wore my compliment-baiting shirt out dancing tonight and got like a dozen compliments https://t.co/96G5rCnX66
Video games are better-equipped than any other medium to engage with the true complexity of nature, but until 2019, they mostly didn't bother. I looked at 4 recent releases to see how well they avoid the Wilderness Myth and place humans in nature. https://t.co/qqBJ2PXVPV
I didn't get any pics I'm really happy with but aren't these baby slugs adorable and gorgeous? https://t.co/J5yrpV0nZC

It's trivially within the scope of how even I understand LLMs to work but it still shocks me that Claude can just tell you what a random string of nucleotides is for. I gave him a list of like 100 31-mers and he picked out immediately which one was an rRNA sequence https://t.co/nTkDVhfarR
I was going through a process of ideological transformation in those years, but it wasn't until the first time I chaperoned the DR trip that I got jolted into realizing those changes would have big implications for my future https://t.co/ARXQ4pkk0D
Banner day for the possum shirt. Q woman in the McDonald's drive through rolled down her window to compliment it, my phlebotomist complimented it, and the guy at chemstore asked me where he could buy one because his "son is in a big possum phase rn" https://t.co/rH6QPf81qg
That's been the other component of my journey: rediscovering the part of me that found women so enthralling as a young man, and showing him what that can be like now that he knows what he wants and is secure in what he has to offer. https://t.co/F1aUiPEYxp
Before the #liberals find a reason to deface, destroy or degrade this one, I thought some of you might like to see it one more time... https://t.co/do33WnCi7i
Sorry this thread has no conclusion, story hasn't ended, I haven't come to any new insights or strategies. Thanks for reading, here's a couple ghiblified toddler pics of me for your trouble https://t.co/e9wKARWTs6

@michelleakin Do you know about these? The family I used to cook for had one, seems like a worthwhile investment for serious brownie heads https://t.co/OApaVoJRk9
