To me, this is why the grand declaration of selfie culture — “This is my identity, and I don’t care what you think of me!” — boils down to a non sequitur. “I don’t care what you think of me” dissolves into a self-contradictory statement. As humans who have opinions, it seems nonsensical to act under the pretence that the opinions others do not matter.
I made this text public because I want your attention. Like a performer preparing for opening night, I have spent time in private orchestrating these words into a (hopefully) coherent structure. And, like a photographer who has toiled with light, I now present my creation to you. The culminating question of our inquiry is, therefore: now that I have your attention, what do I want you to think or do?

I swear, if that cat messed up my tattoo… 😤
I tried to use this to import my DayOne entries into WordPress but since the DayOne JSON file is of a different layout than the JSON created by Google Sheets, I couldn’t really figure out how to get it to work.
I liked it, but I might have liked Deadpool 1 better, even though this one was a bit more polished.
I really smiled reading this thread, because I do this all the time.
“Yeah (I hear you, but) nah (I don’t agree with/believe a word you just said)”
Remind me of Andre Vashist’s, “from ‘Buts’ to ‘Yes, and’…”, only it’s “Yes (and) no…” 😂
I feel like I should bookmark this for future reference. It’s the white and gold or blue and black dress all over again, though more prone to biases depending on the speakers/headphones you’re listening with.
Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority” and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person” and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
I went onto Facebook for the barest of moments – I swear it was less than 5 minutes – and I found myself getting angry again.
I swear, that algorithm’s sole purpose is to dredge up all the crap on the internet to keep you “engaged”.
Just spent three hours trying to wrangle my DayOne json file into something that I could put import into WordPress (hey, I finally started reading up on regex), when I find out that the image references in the “text” field aren’t the image file name, but an image id. The image name are referenced in a separate column.
I’m going to bed.😫
