  • More like the Vimes Unified Theory of Adulthood

    Another gem from that theory:

    “That was always the dream, wasn’t it? ‘I wish I’d known then what I know now’? But when you got older you found out that you NOW wasn’t YOU then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp”




  • I’m ootl, what racist stuff?

    I mean, I’m familiar with bitch lasagna, but i imagine it’s worse than that, considering another commenter called him a Nazi

    This is a genuine question, btw. I used to be with it, but then they changed what “it” was. Now what I’m with isn’t “it” anymore, and what is “it” is weird and scary to me











  • Speaking as a middle aged person that grew up watching and loving the Original Trilogy, I think Andor is the best Star Wars visual media, period. I think the only thing that might be better in all Star Wars media is Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn books (all of them), but that might be nostalgia talking

    This is, of course, my opinion. You might disagree, and that’s okay

    to accomplish a goal everyone needs two things, the desire, and the circumstances. Desire is internal, but circumstances are usually out of our control. It sounds like your circumstances are challenging. You might not be able to do what you wish you could, but you’re still beautiful. I didn’t know you, but I bet your tastes are killer

    Man I really feel this

    I like this quote from Ira Glass, which sometimes helps:

    Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer

    There’s more, but this is the core bit. It helps me because when I’m spiraling I can at least remember, yeah, my tastes are killer. My tastes kick ass
