Hot take maybe but If Melville was alive today he'd set Moby Dick on a oil tanker instead of a whaling ship and it would be a beautiful ode to the world we are destroying just like Moby Dick is a ode to the animal they're killing. The deep black oil from the depths and the white whale. Ahab who lost a leg to a terribly unsafe industry but is still spreading fossil fuel propaganda like a religion. You get me
His self insert would still be married to Queequeeg except now theres a whole section about getting to know Queequegs culture and a beautiful marriage ceremony with a presbiterian pastor and Maori elders giving their blessing and three whole chapters are about the seafood buffet and open bar. What were we talking about
It's come to my attention that a good portion of the younger generation has not been made aware of one of the greatest and most hated PILLARS of millennial society.
So I apologize, but I must take on this task. A new hand must touch the beacon. The knowledge must be passed on. The chain can not be broken.
So.
The following are the rules of The Game:
there is no winning The Game
once you know of The Game, you are always playing the game
the point of The Game is to not think about The Game
if you think about The Game, you have lost The Game, and must announce this to those around you - causing them to also lose The Game
A "reset period" of roughly an hour or two before loss announcements is common in colloquial rules to allow yourself and those around you to properly temporarily "forget" about The Game, however that is not an official rule.
Go forth, you next generation, and I am sorry.
heartbreaking:
girl has sooooooo many ambitions and ideas for projects but can only get 1.5 basic tasks done per day
i get it when people are like "liking obscure music doesn't make you a better person" but curiosity and curation and seeking new things out are good traits and it makes your life more interesting to have your own little things and the most fun you can ever have is creating a personal canon and defending it with your life
