I feel like my inability to dnf a book is related to the way I clung to a relationship that made me miserable most of the time

Maybe that sounds stupid but I mean, about both I would think "I'm not enjoying this, this sucks.. but I bet if I just push through, eventually it'll get better and there's gonna be something great on the other side and it'll all be worth it!" so...

Anyways, I made it a little goal for myself this year to dnf a book, as a little test to see if I've grown past such things, and I've already done it!

#testing such growth in a relationship is still a ways off lol #im quite enjoying being alone #but also #my experience in relationships has not given me reason to believe it is worth giving up what i have now #idk #mainly im afraid of how sex will make me feel #because it has not made me feel good very often #anyways...#the book i dnf is the whispers of the fallen #the book that haunts me bc i refused to dnf it when i really should have is struck by lightning iirc #read it in high school and was miserable for a week bc the mc was so loathsome and having him in my life like that was miserable #but i pushed on #surely there would be phenomenal character development #or he would get what was coming to him #but no #it was so unsatisfactory #complete waste of time #worst book ive ever read

I was browsing Shudder looking for some campy Holiday themed horror movies to watch the other night and came across Christmas Bloody Christmas. Absolutely dogshit movie, do not recommend. Evidently there was a script but the way that characters talked over each other or repeated the same lines made it seem like 90% of it was at least improv.

The characters were largely unlikeable and I had to endure what felt like 40 minutes of "banter" before anything exciting happened. No real explanation for why the Santa robot goes on a killing spree other than a) that the technology was repurposed military technology and b) a throwaway line where a character says "I thought those things were recalled" which you can barely hear because the actors are CONSTANTLY FUCKING TALKING OVER EACH OTHER. A better movie would have had a character that worked on creating this Santa Robot say some line like "his Naughty and Nice barometer is broken. It's permanently set to naughty" boom. All the explanation needed.

There was at least one character that completely fucking disappeared. Was not killed on screen and we just never see or mention him again! The last half of the movie is watching the Final Girl get absolutely brutalized by this robot as she struggles to figure out how to kill it with no plan of action. She used a taser on it and we are SHOWN that the electricity can short him out and yet she still futility tries other methods before finally electrocuting it with wiring she ripped out of a wall.

We were praying for it to be over. There were so many fakeout ends that we eventually started checking how much was left on the run time. I don't know why I don't just turn agonizingly bad movies like this off but it gets to a point where I feel like I need to see it through to the end.

#Complete waste of time #A nightmare for anyone with auditory processing issues #I don't know where else to rant about this when twt is dead. My ass is not using threads

I Posted This Article On My Blog. You Won't BELIEVE What Happened Next...

New Post has been published on https://grahamstoney.com/blogging/posted-this-article-blog-you-wont-believe-what-happened-next

I Posted This Article On My Blog. You Won't BELIEVE What Happened Next...

This morning, I wrote this trite, pointless article with no socially redeeming value whatsoever, that makes broad sweeping generalisations and insults an entire demographic of people I’ve never even met before, just so that I can claim the moral high ground.

The Sexy Girl Isn’t Actually Naked. Sorry, I Lied.

It makes no contribution to humanity. It’s real purpose is just to get you to visit my site so that you will subscribe to the newsletter and click on my advertisements.

Then, I attached a stock photo of a sexy naked girl, with no relevance to the actual content of the article as a featured image, just to make you think that the article would be visually appealing.

Then, I posted it on my blog with a formulaic, sensationalist headline as click bait.

You won’t believe what happened next:

You clicked on it.

Then you read it, and as you did, a nagging sense of disappointment set in as you realised that the content didn’t live up to the headline. In fact, you do believe what happened next, because it’s happened before. And it will happen again, because you have no life. You have nothing better to do with your time than click on pointless articles on the Internet, because you hate your job while you’re at work, and would rather surf the net than talk to your annoying family when you’re at home.

Before long, that restless feeling is back as you realise that this article is never going to deliver the deep sense of durable fulfilment that you’ve been searching for your whole life. So you subscribe to the newsletter anyway, in a vain attempt to rescue a sense of not having entirely wasted your time here.

Disappointed with the obvious deception, you leave an angry comment that has no impact because nobody important will ever read it. Nevertheless, it at least leaves you with the feeling that you’ve made a difference today. But you haven’t. The only people who reply are other people like you with nothing better to do than waste their time leaving passive-aggressive comments on pointless articles like this one, before going back to checking their Facebook news and Twitter feeds again.

Since your time is so valuable, you click off to something on another site before even getting to the end of the article, not realizing that the next site will install some spyware on your computer which will lead to an identity theft that will ruin your entire life.

Why did I let this site convince me that Jennifer's Body is a good movie? 🤦‍♀️

#it was the worst thing I've ever seen #i made my friend watch this #we turned it off after 20 minutes #i finished it later #complete waste of time #I don't understand you people

I love how the big bad is one of the most confused people in this whole ordeal is the big bad.

Major villains who have complete control over everything and mastermind literally the whole plot are out, and major villains who are absolutely flabbergasted by the heroes and just out of the depths in how fucked everything is going for them are in.

#to go into a little bit of a tangent #I've always been a little bit miffed when writers take mastermind villains too far #Really takes away the heroes' agency when literally everything they've done in a story #including their victories and triumphs #is all according to the villain's grand master plan #it makes everything that happened to that point feel like a waste of time more than it makes the villain seem intelligent and impressive #so Sissel's little spiraling here is very much to my liking #He's not in complete control and i love that #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon

why do you dislike duolingo? (assuming ur hatred isn’t recent, because Duolingo has taken a nosedive after the ai integration)

i didn't know about the ai integration. it was always bad because fill-in-the-blank sentences with zero context are not how anyone seriously learns a language. the only thing duolingo has down correct is that you have to spend some time reviewing, if not learning, every single day. i was able to quickly learn enough A1/A2 italian to get by in two weeks by going through a few grammar and phrase books for introductory students. you need to know the explicit rules, the verb forms, adjective modifications, irregular patterns, you need to see them all on a chart, and then you need to copy those charts by hand. whenever i see anyone brag about their streak, i seriously doubt whether they know much at all of the language they're learning.

the gameified apps for language learning that do work are anki cards, (especially for mandarin), memrise, conjugaison, and quizlet, which were all free when i used them extensively. reverso context is not a game memorization app, but it's phenomenal

#it has not worked for me even as a supplemental tool. it is a complete waste of time. get a bescherelle #i believe quizlet is no longer free #granted basic italian for someone who knows* french is not difficult But i need the specifics quickly - not the apples are green today #* allegedly

hey. artists who make process videos but want to expend the least amount of effort possible:

fake that shit. finish your piece and then make your lineart white and color it back in. mask your color layers and then un-mask them with brushstrokes. choose something eye catching to copypaste and do that a couple times. add bits of glow/sparkle/foliage/freckles/whatever else is relevant

if you get like three shots like this and then have the rest be video of your finished work no one will know. no one will CARE I promise. do not give your soul to the Microcontent Wheel it is Not worth it

#auropost #signed: someone who used to get stuck trying to record aesthetic footage #and then had to edit large amounts of video #for the sake of getting ~*authentic*~ shots of me actually working #it’s a waste of time!!!! completely!!!!#if social media is gonna force me into bullshit content formats i’m gonna cut so many goddamn corners #anyways i do this constantly and am much better off for it

Your life isn't a to-do list. You're allowed to exist, to take life as slow as you'd like. The dreams you have won't suddenly disappear. It's okay to stop and smell the roses, or to engage with "childish" things, or to recover, or do what you need to.

#positivity #encouraging words #life doesn't need to be a speedrun or a 100% run #sometimes it feels like i'm wasting my life but... who gets to tell me what is wasteful? i'm surviving out here and that's okay #and it's okay if you're also somebody who people think is 'wasting your life'#that's such a meaningless and frankly a very cruel thing to say to a person #because you'll see people call somebody's life wasteful because they're simply coping with disability/mental illness/grief/ect #it's a meaningless saying to tell somebody how YOU think they're wasting life. your life isn't a waste point-blank #we ought to be kinder to ourselves for choosing what we want/need out of our lives rather than placating to what is imposed on us...#...or the expectations we impose on ourselves #be kinder to yourself whenever you can. it's hard as hell but please choose kindness toward yourself #just something i thought about and felt like it was impirtant to me #i couldn't complete high school 'on time' because of covid and because i was in crisis. i felt so much shame about that. i felt stupid...#...i felt unworthy. but who decided that i am those things? the crisis i was in could have killed me. i couldn't deal with school then...#...it humbled me because i had to learn that i am not immune to needing to be kind to myself. i am human - i'm not a mindless drone...#...you aren't a mindless drone either. you are an individual. you deserve to feel safe. you deserve understanding and compassion...#...but not ONLY from others. you deserve it from yourself as well

fun fact, in america when your kid joins a club, sometimes the school will unceremoniously add you to a parent's club about the club. This club will send you ten billion emails, ask for free labor, solicit money (separate from the fee to join and for equipment), and seem to never inform you of important events and meetings until it's far too late to ask off of work.
