Tony the Tiger (with catchphrase) but he's pouring Randy's posts out of the cereal box, but on the box is Randy reaching out, desperate to give, to help, and begging for forgiveness

the little bit you did about Standup and like Looking at the Assembled Mass of the Other and only then being able to see the filtered light of Truth through the dappled leaves of other lost souls, together, that was very good, and would be good if you dropped some lacan into it. Also, this is a banger. Certed.

im going to write down a list i think. i'm going to write a list of three things it is important that she say with her own mouth, then, when she says them, swallows the bitter pills of words, then i will decide that i have won. and then i will win. it's just me, after all.

Imagine if we didn't think truth had to bittersweet. If beauty didn't need to have a tragic element. If the sunset could be enjoyed without the imminent fear of darkness or the awareness of another day passed.

If we didn't think someone being "honest" was someone confessing all their faults to the audience and begging for forgiveness (or acceptance).

If we could live just as proudly with our wins as with "the flaws that makes us relatable".

That'd be pretty cool.

It hurts to write this, so it's true:

Unlike the top-tier big brain tech guys on here, I really enjoyed high school. I fit right in. My school mostly wasn't hard and I could just goof around the whole time, so I did. The only thing that compares to the fun I had in school is writing internet comments. I am afraid to figure out how to goof around for a living. The only thing that's been helpful is realizing that all the money-maker guys I think are cool online are all 20 years older than I thought they were. Hopefully I can learn to dislike high school and really embrace the whole self-education thing over the next few years.
