The windowsill in my apartment building………… I found a receipt on it. I was tempted to pick it up. I did pick it up. It was from Subway, the sandwich shop. They got…..some kind of normal sandwich, whatever. But you see……I was excited. I was glad. Because I could see how deeply wanting to pickContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Charm of the Lost Receipt (Gratification For/Against Thieves)”

[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Electric Desk Fan Button Situation Theorem (A Solution for Humanity)
There’s an electric fan on my desk. I use it very often. I get warm, even in winter. You turn it on by pushing down a button. It makes a click when you push it. But if you don’t push down all the way, the fan still activates. The click I associated with the fanContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Electric Desk Fan Button Situation Theorem (A Solution for Humanity)”
[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Triple Pack – Tetris Metaphysics, The Mystique of Gravy, and the Futility in Calling Someone a Baby
1. Falling Blocks, Wielding Fates The way people view their own actions resembles that which we feel when we play a puzzle video game like Panel De Pon or Tetris. The way the blocks fall is often very out of your control, while also being a byproduct of what you’ve done within that game. TheContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Triple Pack – Tetris Metaphysics, The Mystique of Gravy, and the Futility in Calling Someone a Baby”
[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries: The Professor Who Proudly Hated ID Flashing (furious hope)
I returned to my college campus, like I had so many other times. Having finally founded purpose-result friction theory, I tried to remember things about my past I could see anew. Not being allowed into the entrance to linger or use the facilities, I remembered their system for letting students, faculty, and alumni on campus.Continue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries: The Professor Who Proudly Hated ID Flashing (furious hope)”
[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries- Drunk Guy on My Foot (Karaoke 1)
Back inside of the karaoke bar, the one with the comfy couches…. While talking, the acquaintance suddenly slumped over and fell on one of my feet. He was still smiling, and possibly mumbling…. for a while, I thought that it must have been a prank. I had grown very used to people doing things likeContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries- Drunk Guy on My Foot (Karaoke 1)”
[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?”
[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”
