ugh, why can’t i have a longer attention span?!
I annoy everyone at work. Twice as much on deadlines.

Them wuvs me.
I just know I have more fun annoying people and that’s easier when you’re not alone. Of course, eventually you will be. 😅
A horn section is all you need to
push any party over-the-top!
I adore Celentano.
I may have told you, but years ago I ran into my neighbor's daughter while outside one Saturday. She was around 8, my guess. She asked if I had any kids. I answered that I do. A son, actually! Why have I not seen him? Well, I mostly keep him in the basement.

oh.

I don't have a basement btw, but I was curious to know how she'd react. Didn't phase her much, so I pushed by adding I try to feed him once every day or two.

nada.

anyways. back to the topic at hand, I am disappointed that I never knew this existed:

We’ve been trying to put you in the basement and take away your stapler since you got here!
one day, i will figure it out.
Or already being through your grace period and still not figuring it out?

What about aggregating content from all the sites we all read, posting it here and not having anything to say about it?
I literally had an experience a few months ago talking to my therapist where she asked if I ever got anything out of human interaction, and I said yes, on occasion. One of the few examples I could come up with was from here, when my perspective on The Zone of Interest shifted following responses to my thread.

A similar thing happened to me irl a few years back during the pandemic, when a conversation with someone totally changed my perspective on Breaking Bad’s ending.

I think some people are naturally inclined to ‘broadcast their thoughts’, which is kind of reductive, but it is a way of being/ingrained communication style. But that doesn’t mean they don’t get an enormous amount of value out of interaction, especially when it comes to talking about art, film and so on.
