I just interview well. I have no concrete fallback. I envy people with concrete options. Caring about sounding pretentious is a completely Internet thing.

I've quoted this a few times and I'm sure more notable people have said something to the same effect but my favorite quote from anyone on netcees is Split Eight saying "if the internet went away I think everyone would be a little relieved." One of the most concise and intelligent things I've ever read. I do miss the opportunity to not see everything everyone has to say. To be yourself, and to try hard and brag without being shit on. Whether you choose not to admit to it or understand it, the internet effects every fucking thing. It's a huge boon to society but a pain to every single one.

Alcohol's cool.
