every time i log onto facebook i end up going onto vash's page and there are like 5 billlion photos of him from 2008 and no more recent ones which annoys me because he is like 5000 times cuter now and i want better pictures of him darn it cuz all the pictures i have of him now are from his shitty webcam :<
Alright alright listen
Fly over to him
And hold him down and force him to be in some photos whether he likes it or not
Was just talking to an acquaintance, who said he was planning to move to Canada in a few years. With his current line of work he could make a decent living there, and -- among other reasons -- as an anime fan, he sees one of his motivations being the fact that he's run out of space in his room to display his merchandise.

I guess that's one way to think of things...?
Contrast that with myself -- I'm personally interested in living small and not having much stuff. When I was younger, I thought that living in a big house would be really cool, but as I've grown I've also learned that there's a cost to it -- the cost of upkeep: cleaning, heating and cooling, maintenance and repairs...not to mention it feels lonely unless there's a lot of people there frequently. Instead, my interest has more recently shifted toward tiny houses -- I'm not personally ready (nowhere near it) to move into one yet, much less build one, but it illustrates a sort of ideal that I'd like to approach, even if I don't get to reach it. And I think that living in an apartment -- all other things (e.g. neighborhood quality) being equal -- might be nicer than having to maintain my own house, especially with regards to things like yard and exterior care.
I have some prized possessions of my own, but in some ways I kinda feel that keeping relatively few of them makes them mean more to me. And I've never been one to have much to display -- instead, I really would prefer that, ideally, all of my decorations also be useful in some way. For example, I'd rather have a messenger bag than a poster, given the same fictional character or other iconography displayed on both.
I wonder to what extent this could be related to an "impact for oneself" vs. "impact on others" thing. I'm pretty interested in the whole notion of ecological footprint, though I also have some pretty selfish reasons (e.g. wanting to spend less time on maintenance/cleaning) for living on a smaller spatial footprint. I could point out that he wants to move out of the house and cites his wanting more space to display his fandom iconography items, but then again there are probably reasons that he didn't highlight -- something that any reasonable analysis of another person's motives should consider. And I never really chose to move to where I am now...I just did what I had to do, with regard to the needs of me serving in my occupation. (Then again, isn't that what everyone does?)
Maybe it's not so much a selfishness vs. altruism thing, either. Maybe instead it's a proactive vs. reactive thing? He's deciding his own needs and modifying his surroundings to suit them, vs. I'm recognizing my own needs based on my surroundings and "modifying" my use of them to suit my constraints. (But then again, to what extent am I even modifying anything?)
I just get that slight feeling that he's a little bit "selfish" about all of this. I guess this is in line with him being that one guy who hates using public transit (even when traveling with friends) and would rather drive his own car, spending his own gas, dealing with traffic, and paying through the nose for parking, just to have the convenience of having his own car (for space and timing).
(This isn't a perfect comparison. But I'm just posting my thoughts on this.)
(Perhaps that's the real meaning of "shitposting" to me -- stuff to be viewed non-judgementally, as opposed to being taken seriously and viewed critically and thus I have to really think through my words carefully and ask myself, say, what kind of blowback or embarrassment or counterarguments should I anticipate.)

I dreamed I was in some weird store in what used to be a Kmart, and they had a whole bunch of USB gamepads for sale
I wanted to buy one, since they were like $7, but I was worried their cheapness would mean they'd break apart the moment I let my brother use one

Boht Kmarts in Prince William County are now closed. I would not be surprised if the ones in Springfield and Annandale are next, or possibly the Sears in Manassas.

When I feel on edge, I listen to music (except not nerve wracking music). That usually helps.
I also sometimes eat when I'm stressed, but I also eat when I'm happy, sad, angry, or any emotion because you're supposed to eat food because food is good for you.
The possessions thing tends to be a bone of contention between my partner and myself; I'm at heart a bit of a minimalist, while she's more of a "Must have everything so if I ever need it it'll be right at hand because I can't handle frustration" kind of person.

I have the feeling your "room" is actually more of a "laboratory"

less is more, usually

it might actually be best if a bunch of us live together in a mansion that has separate apartments for each of us and some common areas.
i keep seeing this and there's a part of me that wants to buy it simply because it is such a good deal
