  Human Moment™. One of my former professors in Uni, the one I respected the most because she was one of the wisest and most perceptive people I’d met at that point, confided in us that it took her however many years since their introduction to realise that the small light on some wall-mounted light switches was meant as a guidance light if it’s pitch black.

  Uuu, shiny! Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uses Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, this is genuinely painful to watch unfold… Yeah, yeah, Linux, I know, already started migrating, but let your feelings speak for a second, sib!

  Think back to how much joy and sheer functionality Windows used to encompass. Even Vista, I swear! It was a poorly optimised mess bloated to hell and back with overlapping features, but it was bursting with a genuine desire to innovate. I honestly don’t remember ever having as bad a time with Vista as I do with 10, even when I used to run it on an overheating MSI.

  Not to mention XP and 7, which were, I dare say, the best operating systems I’ve ever used, almost interchangeably if we go for XP SP3 witn more unofficial tweaks. I’m not trying to diminish the improvements brought on by 8 and 10, they did have some much needed upgrades for vital features and functionalities, that’s undeniable. But everything good came wrapped up (or, rather, jumbled up like 10 sets of wired earbuds you just found in a pocket of the coat you just pulled out of the washing machine) with sooo much intrusive crap, that it defeats the purpose…

  Gotta grieve that shit…

  And put a mask on the back of her head if your facial recognition’s not participating in the fun.

  Well, I assume the girlfriend knew the guy REALLY liked Ol’ Reliable, right? In this case, screaming “do what you want to me,” while clearly indicating a desire for something else, has been 100% respected.

  If you want something different, say it specifically. Our pee pees are touching, kinda’ late to be Victorian with it…

  You don’t need to assume that it isn’t a tragic familial background, either. Or any other sort of trauma which would push one to close off. Throwing the “soulless” label aroud willy-nilly is just an extension of abusing the “narcissist” moniker. It prohibits any nuance and facilitates unjustified suspicion.

  Yes, there are sociopaths who can be considered soulless. But just because one is odd does not intrinsically mean one is soulless. There’s a plethora of other potential reasons.

  Plus, don’t forget, oddity is in the eye of the beholder in the first place. My odd may be completely different than your odd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is lacking something metaphysical⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooor, someone had to “survive” their family’s bullshit and being unseen was the best way to do it. Then it became so ingrained in said someone’s existential fingerprint, that they’re now a ninja without even realising it.

  Fair, could’ve used a few lighter nudges beforehand. We came close to kissing a couple of times before, but it never materialised and I’ve never been one to push.

  Plus, in all fairness, I was baked out of my gourd and mesmerised by the movie (I can’t say I like Sandler movies, but they sorta’ entrance my brain into trying to make sense of them every time). It was most certainly not a sexy times kinda’ mood for me:))

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is dense⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, wow, that sounds pretty deep, too! Makes one wonder how things gould’ve gone differently had we caught the hints for what they were.

  Or at least they make for cute and funny stories if nothing else!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is dense⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hah! Had something very similar happen to me in high-school.

  Had this very metal friend, and being the hormonal teenager I was, I kinda’ lusted pretty badly after her. I didn’t do or say anything about it, getting along and having someone with whom to chat during metal concerts and while hanging out at the local dive spot for people with such inclinations was enough.

  We used to hang out a lot after class, she was one year younger so we had similar schedules. She sorta’ hinted that she “didn’t dislike” me every now and again, but had a… tumultuous repertoire of random relationships, so my gut told me to hang back. She not once invited me over to her place, though. Until one afternoon when she did.

  It was nearing the summer vacation, it was a torrid day from the start, the dive was closed for “renovations” (meaning someone probably puked over the bar again), so we were just sitting aimlessly on a random curb, thinking about what to do. She presented the idea of schmoozing over to hers for a toke and a comedy. My beautiful brain instantly dismissed any ‘nefarious’ potentialities and set itself to “friendly.”

  We got over to hers, rolled one up, she selected some Adam Sandler comedy (I honestly don’t remember which one, they all blend together in my memory…), and we started happily baking. About halfway through the movie, she tells me she’s headed for the washroom to freshen up. I don’t even think I registered the though, I just kept absorbing the movie.

  She comes out ten minutes later, buck naked and confident. Says nothing and starts returning to the couch. I swivel my head toward her as I felt she was coming, and get but a flash of flesh. My right hand instantly flies to my eyes, I start spouting panicked apologies and a jumble of “fucks” and “shits,” then I hurry toward the front door while keeping my eyes covered.

  I realised what had happened several months later. She didn’t say anything about that afternokn again, and neither did I. We continued hanging out for a couple more years, I think.
