[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – Pizza Clout, WTF?

There is currently a thread on r/unpopularopinion in which an individual claims that pizza is quite overrated. Then they say that people mainly like pizza “for the clout”. Now, I did have to look up what clout meant, and I still felt pretty lost. I could relate to the many posts declaring that it’s ridiculousContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – Pizza Clout, WTF?”

Cultural Rave – Wikipedia’s Conspiracy Theory Vibe that I don’t like

The good folks at Wikipedia like to begin articles about conspiracy theories with “________ is a false conspiracy theory which ________” or “__________ is a conspiracy theory in which unproven claims have been made and no one has any evidence for”. I’m no proponent of blatantly desperate, politically motivated conspiracy theory activism, but I can’tContinue reading “Cultural Rave – Wikipedia’s Conspiracy Theory Vibe that I don’t like”

[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Veggie Booty Compromise

As a mildly indulgent complement to the tastefully greasy chicken tenders I was going to bring home, I decided to acquire some Pirates’ Booty. They’re a crispy snack that leaves you feeling not very indulgent. They’re also great for when you’re craving vegetables but don’t feel like microwaving the broccoli in the refrigerator. They usedContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Veggie Booty Compromise”

[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – Damn Those Sexy Retro Consoles

My kindred left the apartment to finally live somewhere else recently. He’s not far, so he plans on visiting every Saturday to come and eat and get some support from us. He left behind the Sega Genesis retro console that he never actually plugged in. I’m very tempted to give it a try on myContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – Damn Those Sexy Retro Consoles”

[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Political Rage of an Open Cereal Box With a Closed Bag

I noticed that one of the masters of the apartment started crumpling the tops of cereal boxes so that they couldn’t remain open. I remembered that many times earlier, he would race to shut the cereal boxes that I would leave open, even if the bag was closed. He could not tell if the bagContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Political Rage of an Open Cereal Box With a Closed Bag”

[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – Baby Prejudice on Reddit’s r/ActualPublicFreakouts

I saw a video featuring one protestor accusing someone else of, by virtue of their own alleged racism, having a racist baby as well. It was frustrating to hear anyone accuse an infant of something like that, but on the other hand, I could relate to someone trying to stifle prejudice within that human whichContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – Baby Prejudice on Reddit’s r/ActualPublicFreakouts”

Cultural Rave – The Only Babyish Gaming Opinion

I’ve seen a lot of people argue about gaming opinions, and I almost always have at least a little respect for them. But there’s only one opinion I can’t seem to forgive, can’t seem to respect. “I don’t play indie games. I don’t like indie games.” And especially when it’s said by somebody who playsContinue reading “Cultural Rave – The Only Babyish Gaming Opinion”

L1’s Almanac – of Justice and Normies

FUCKING NORMIES ruin everything by being so damn normal. Where’s their creativity, their taste, their passion for being different from everyone else? They might make the world more boring, less inspired, but they indeed might hold society together. If we couldn’t agree on what constitutes JUSTICE, just where would civilization be? We all agree, prettyContinue reading “L1’s Almanac – of Justice and Normies”

L1’s Almanac – With Regards to the A**hole Design Subreddit

Have you been to r/assholedesign? It’s quite the satisfying and gratifying place to visit. To complain about products that betray the functionality they seem to promise. But does it really seem fair to call people assholes for designing tools and food and websites and transportation in a way that isn’t necessarily motivated by the desireContinue reading “L1’s Almanac – With Regards to the A**hole Design Subreddit”
