Pleasure feels so good when you ain't got a priest in your ear telling you it's hedonism

I think you could have ended this one at "Pleasure feels so good"

I suppose I'll take this as an opportunity to do a little BTS on my posting thought process because I haven't ever done that before.

For this particular post, I had been thinking of the meme "Little Caesar’s taste so good when u ain’t got a bitch in ya ear telling you it’s nasty." which as this point is like 4 years old. Basically all of my posts are just thoughts that are written directly to the "page" with enough changed that i hope it can be considered transformative and unique.

In general, I think being brief and snappy is the best for comedy, as was the recent disource with haus of decline and basil on twitter.

I was actually thinking of stopping the thinkpad lenovo post (thread 902 I believe ) at the clit part, which would function as the punchline. Would that be a better post? Probably for consumption. But when I was writing it I kind of got lost in the scenario and just added to it like daydreaming rather than explicit and intentional writing.

Which makes it more fun to produce, sure, but the extraneous bits end up weighing it down. There's that Mark Twain quote where he said that if he had more time I would have written a shorter letter. And that's true because it is optimization.

So is it worth it to optimize each post as much as you can? On a personal level that can be fun. But, say, if we were to be going for notes/reach then you have to contend with random variables. The target demographic may not see it, they never pass it along, it fades into obscurity. Or you may have misjudged it's quality in the first place. You were cooking nothing!

In going for high quality on every single post, I think it incentivizes behaviour like reblogging your own post ( in the less fun way than I do I mean ), checking what times you are posting, doing market research. etc etc. That's kind of a lot, and you inevitably care more for each bit. Which makes it failing suck a lot more.

Besides, if you want to put a whole lot of effort into something, it should probably be a different medium. Like an article for writing or a video essay or something. That's just the structure of the medium at play. But I digress.

For this post, of course I switched out bitch for something more acceptable. I did do a bitch->puppygirl transfer on an earlier thread but it didn't go over well I think. Anti clericism, on the other hand, is much more in vogue. Big names like argumate and memecucker are all getting in on this hot topic. oh, and like I am an athiest who was raised Catholic, so it feels liberatory to overcome a culture that insisted anything that felt good should be guilt inducing.

In that way, taking it out feels like taking out the heart of the post, which is why it didn't feel right. But from an outside perspective it has broader appeal. The silence being the punchline is great, actually. That's a good mix up. Actually I would not be surprised if there is a tweet like that verbatim.

Girl, are you a lenovo thinkpad running ubuntu 20.04? Because you don't recognize the wifi adaptor. And also the clit. You both have one, I mean. Not the wifi adaptor, you don't have one of those. It's a different thing than internet access by the way. You can still connect an ethernet cable and its like way better bandwidth and stuff. How old are you again?

Going to the store to buy canned air, anyone need anything?

I've been getting into canned air too, actually. Like, did you know that the canned air can be fresher than "fresh" air because they preserve it immediately at the farm?
