there's something quite potent about the mixture of being beautiful, rich, young, and making a video about your weekend which shows these things without addressing them directly. it's very unobtainable for almost everyone so that's always going to wind people up. but i also found something quite naive and sweet about the video as well.

Basically pure envy... something only you (@shakahislop ) and I seem able to loftily rise above.

it's because we're content with ourselves rich. it's because we know that we were born superior even to muscular adonises in SoHo; this is our birthright as men of south oxfordshire.

since I started coding I've been watching Mr. Robot and Dasha whatsername cameos as basically herself in a later episode and it's some of the worst, most wooden acting I've ever seen which made laugh if only bc the whole point of all these ppl as to play heightened versions of themselves as reality TV for a certain strand of ultra-cultured young folx, so you'd think she'd nail it but nope, it's like NFL quarterback hosting SNL level bad
also my advice to everyone is to not care/stop caring/go back to not caring about what some oblivious 26 year old does with his weekend. the fight to not have greater Manhattan (i.e. plus adjacent of other boroughs esp Brooklyn) be just a playground for rich ppl was lost decades ago - i.e. the Tompkins Square police riot was 34 years ago - so it's not like it should be some great surprise, and one clueless fool bouncing around that playground won't change anything for anyone.

I did. Currently 8 weeks through a 14 week boot camp. got through intro and Python stack, currently on MERN, then probably Java (we get to choose between that and C#, prob going Java).
edit: guess we can DM if necessary to not derail thread, but yeah

the red scare reddit is quite quirky and engaging, and there are new ideas I haven't thought about all the time, but it also feels like a very bad way to rewire your brain

now that the weather is nice i've started sitting in the park next to dimes square with a coffee. there's a coffee shop there which is the only place in america where they make milk-based drinks with a tiny amount of milk rather than loads of milk, which I like. it's genuinely a slightly uncomfortable shop to be in, the whole place feels a bit awkward to me, in particular just the customers, there's a self-conciousness to it that I don't like. i tried the slice shop there as well, it was fairly bad by nyc standards, which are high. there were two people preparing some kind of drugs, i have no idea what, in the public toilets, they welcomed me in with a gesture which was nice of them.

Don’t share works, Shakattack
I’d book a flight to the east coast just to get on a reacquainted food run. Pizza in NY, every high calorie ridiculousness Philly offers by the bucket, down to Baltimore for crabs and bisque. DC for chilli dogs and some poseur tasting menus, followed by the Carolinas for Dixie bbq
18lbs gain minimum but working it off would be worth it

Are you talking about Scarr's? Only been there once, at the start of covid in March 2020 (I remember because I was picking up a repaired CD player at Hi-Tech Electronics on Canal near Dimes, and it was the last indoor eating I did for many months to come), a cold weekday afternoon so pretty empty. I thought the slices were ok, but yeah the place is a bit self-conscious as well.
