I'm trying to stay true to the posting spirit by also posting things I think are bad, and not thinking about it and just smashing the keyboard then sending the post, but the different format and interface makes it feel more personal, like I'm actively seeking you out to read this stuff, rather than on twattter where you can just feel like you're posting into the void, undirected, and people show up to watch by their own will. this feels more vulgar. To expose myself here feels like I'm more of a public masturbator and less like the "audience" is responsible for choosing to be a voyeur
this is what i was trying to say about this format, it is now explicitly “egg report space” rather than a public presence to play off as equal and ignore all the numbers. How tf did we manage to fuck up “forums” so bad, they used to work perfectly
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
You just made me realize that the internet’s first purpose is to automate friendships. We get to express ourselves and be heard without having to do any of the hard stuff (helping people move, picking them up from airports, going to their parents’ funerals).
Of course, it doesn’t really work because the hard stuff is what builds deep bonding and trust. Knowing someone will be there and being there for someone when the need is real is what gives us fulfillment.
As a result, we can have a million “followers” and have months-long conversations with thousands of “likes” and still feel utterly alone.

yes, because it is actually of use.

in my opinion the first mistake was banning me
I would say truth is more like a giant shit that you took a photo of.
On one hand, it’s shameful. Yet you feel oddly compelled to show people. This is the kind of quantity and quality of digestion my psyche can produce!
just "b" urself

I will literally fly to Holland or Germany or wherever this weird Randy Egg Report fella lives and hang out as friends. Likes are real.
Ah, but does "Randy Egg Report fella" want to hang out with strangers from the internet?
I got an open door policy
Wonderful advice.
