Chapter 2: Unreal City, 6:12 p.m. At 6:12 p.m., my building spits me out onto the pavement like it’s done with me. The sky is still bright in that smug spring way—like the day is trying to convince you you’ve always been okay. People are outside in their light jackets, their rolled sleeves, their freshly unburdened necks. They look like they’ve been edited for optimism. Liv is leaning against the wall by the entrance, sunglasses on, iced coffee in hand, posture saying: I came here to rescue you, but I will not be gentle about it. She takes me in—the too-heavy jacket, the dead-eyed stare, the way I’m carrying my bag like it contains a jury. “You look like you fought a print...

# On Frozen Configurations and the Depletion of the Penny Tray ## Why a Children's Toy from 1980 Stayed Open While Everything Else Locked, and What Happened to the 38 Cents --- > **Abstract:** > In 1980, a Hungarian professor's puzzle arrived in the West. In 1981, an American president fired 11,345 workers and froze the configuration of American labor relations for forty-five years. The Rubik's Cube remained open—anyone can make moves. Everything else locked. This paper traces the expansion of frozen configurations from labor (PATCO, 1981) to property (DMCA, 1998) to the human body (Second Sight retinal implants, 2020), introducing the Discretionary Displa...

Launched my first dropshipping store about 2 months ago. Products are solid (pet niche, tested a few winning products), store looks decent, prices are competitive. But I'm struggling hard with the marketing side. \*\*My situation:\*\* I wanted to start with organic TikTok because everyone says it's the best free traffic source for dropshipping. The plan was simple: post 3-5 videos per day, use trending sounds, jump on trends, and wait for the algorithm to bless me. \*\*Reality check after 2 months:\*\* \- Posted 150+ videos \- Gained about 800 followers \- Best video got 12K views, most get under 500 \- Made exactly 4 sales from TikTok (not joking) \- Spent countles...

"what do you do all day?" "internet" "who's your emergency contact / next of kin" "no-one" "do you have anyone to talk to when you're upset" "no" "do you attend any therapy?"

I (33F) shot my shot on a guy that works at a store that my craft business gets materials from. We met because of this and are friendly on social media, and have shared stories about our singleness and being lonely. I do generally find him attractive and he's a good dude and we align a bit in lifestyle so I figured I'd shoot my shot. He replied back fairly quickly saying he was flattered but really only saw this as a professional connection. I'm not heartbroken, but I'm mildly confused and sad. If you don't find me attractive, that's fine. I'd rather you tell me that directly. But to "not want to lose a professional connection" that in my eyes d...

So over the summer, we took a trip to Mexico and came back just in time for me to begin my college classes. Ever since we got back, we’ve made it kind of like an unspoken tradition that every other Friday or so, we watch a movie as a family. Normally, I sit on one side of the couch and my mom on the other side. My sister sits on the other couch with our dogs, and if my dad is home he is in his recliner , no big deal. The past month or so, when we watch the movies, she would lay her head on my lap. I didn’t think much of it the first two or so times , but the more she did it, the more it got a bit awkward for me . I don’t want to say anything because I don’t want to push her away or o...

* I’m targeting software engineering roles in the private sector, ideally backend or embedded, but I’m also open to full-stack positions. * I’m currently based in Toronto, but I’m open to roles anywhere in North America and would be willing to relocate. * I’m a third-year computer science student at a T350 university globally and a T20 university in Canada, and I’m currently in the middle of a co-op term. * In terms of job hunting, my main challenge has been getting ghosted after submitting applications, which makes me think the issue is likely related to my resume or experience (or both lol) * I’m a Canadian citizen, so my citizenship status isn’t a problem in my job search ...

Space Trade Game I’m 19, and I got tired of "Pay-to-Win" games. So I spent my nights building a fair Space Tycoon. Now, I need your help to bring it to life. . I am a 19-year-old solo developer. Like many of you, I grew up loving tycoon and strategy games. But recently, I felt frustrated. The mobile market is flooded with "cash-grab" games where you watch more ads than you play, and the only way to win is to open your wallet. I decided to take a different path. I didn't have a budget or a team, but I had a vision. Meet Libernova: Space Tycoon. 🚀 It is a sci-fi strategy game focused on trade, resource management, and planetary expansion. ❌ No Forced Ads ...

Smartwatches were once viewed primarily as step counters and workout companions, designed mainly for runners, gym-goers, and athletes. Over the past decade, however, they have evolved into powerful personal health tools that go far beyond counting calories or tracking workouts. Today’s smartwatches play an increasingly important role in monitoring overall health, detecting early warning signs, supporting preventive care, and helping users better understand their bodies on a daily basis. This shift has positioned smartwatches as everyday health companions rather than simple fitness accessories. As healthcare systems around the world place more emphasis on prevention and early intervention,...

Allan’s very world that was so near and dear to him was now evaporating before his very eyes. A tremendous loss was being taken placed before his very eyes. Despair was of the atmosphere as it continued. His then ex-girlfriend walked away from and exited the coffee shop. Allan just stood there looking as if everything that he held true was now lost and never coming back. Memories would add more fuel to the further sadness by flooding themselves in deeply within the mind of Allan. His mind was now under attack from the constant barrage of intrusive thoughts that had hyper emotions attached to them. His mouth was open while he viewed the thoughts as if they were caskets being buried. Each ...

This might be quite long. Ive been working at this part time job for about 4 years and im still studying. I work at this one convenience store in Europe and he started working there about the same time as i did. We never really talked much until last year so we were basically just saying hi and bye to eachother since we worked on different stuff but i would always catch him staring at me and smilling at me which i found strange back then. Since we started talking more i noticed a few things he does such as smiling at me always when I look at him, his eyes softening a bit when looking at me, him saying my name in this cute way which i never heard him say someones name like that, trying to sta...

Ranting about my husband again because apparently this is my villain origin story We got home Monday from a long trip to a messy (but very normal, lived in) apartment. Ever since my husband made it very clear during my early postpartum days yes, TWO WEEKS after a C-section that mess “stresses him out,” I now feel the need to pre apologize for things like unfolded laundry and dishes in the sink. This week I’ve been running on fumes. Tuesday: 4 hours of sleep Wednesday: 5 hours I am calm, rational, and absolutely not one inconvenience away from snapping. Saturday morning, baby wakes at 8:30. I desperately need to sleep in. Husband takes the baby, no complaints. Great. Later, he sug...

​​I always must have bananas. They can't be too ripe. They can't be too green. They have to be just ripening or perfectly ripe. I need them because my stomach is always bothering me. ​​So yesterday I drove to the store in preparation for the snow that was coming. Got to have my bananas and my yogurt etc. So I am almost there when I discover my tire has flattened. Blah blah blah. Go in the store. Get the bananas etc, call up some people to help me with my tire. Roadside assistance shows up. $100 later I'm driving home on a donut. Fast forward to this morning. I look at the banana bowl. Nothing but overripe bananas. Two of them. Where the **** are my bananas? Could th...

If you're going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on something, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to work as it's intended to. That was my line of thinking when the GPS on my new car wasn't working the day after I bought it. So I called up the dealer to schedule a repair. I guess they don't do their scheduling actually at the store; scheduling calls go to some call center. "Thank you for calling (dealer name), this is Loki. How can I help you today?" Weird name, weird accent. They outsource their customer service to some other country. Great. I explained what was going on with the car, and that I wanted to schedule a repair. "...

Seeing that doing these physical posts seem to do better than posting the actual videos of your production. I decided that make an all out post in support of my own indie series, and trust me, this isnt some sort of small little concept idea i have a passing interest of, this is a full blown actual passion project that I very well wanna make into a real series, so much that im actually going to animation school to learn how to animate in 2d. This is Reptales, a cartoon that takes place in an alternate timeline where Reptilians evolved into modern society from dinosaurs instead of primates. In this world, everyone's some sort of Reptilian, or amphibian species, living every day lives ...
