im in love with the concept of Las Vegas like i know in reality theres a lot of things shitty and bad about it but im in love with the idea of a capital of debauchery existing in a blisteringly hot desert 2 hours away from a nuclear weapon test site. it’s so bizarre and horrific and tacky i can’t help but loving the idea of it

It’s so American.

acrosc:

just to clarify ADHD terminology, because it seems there’s some confusion:

hyperfocus – verb. the opposite of unfocused; it’s, like, 10000% focus one one thing, completely shutting out everything else. You could do / discuss ____ for hours and hours and hours without pause for food or water.
ADHD-typical term, but can also be experienced by those w OCD or ASD.

hyperfixation (alt. special interest) – noun. the thing that you are so interested in that even just bringing it up / starting doing it will slam you right into hyperfocusing. hyperfixation / special interest are ADHD & ASD family terminology (respectively).

Oh… um… I wanna get a selfie with Papa II……😢

Edit: oh they’re not even coming to my current state but for some weird reason they’re going to my home state in CA. what the.

Honestly the most damaging thing Facebook has done (and gotten away with) was pushing users to post personal identifying data like it isn’t a big deal

Like the reason it was so attractive to marketers in the first place was that it had successfully convinced people it was normal and ok to post their full names and ages and all of that biz on the internet

Before Facebook, honestly a lot of us found it weird to share identifying info on public profiles

Or even post pics and tag people without asking first

Facebook has had a huge hand in fundamentally changing our expectations of privacy and I barely see this mentioned when people go on about Big Data
