tfw you have Way Too Many Tabs open but you also can’t close any tabs bc you Need Them and if you close them you’ll forget about them so you’ll get to them… eventually.
so earlier i remembered how during one philosophy class, my professor asked us all to consider what we would do if we could be invisible for a day, because (as she would reveal to us later) she wanted to prove a point about observed accountability and situational morality. we all wrote down our answers, submitted them anonymously, and the prof read them back to us. about 95% of them were like “prank people”, “rob a bank”, “get in places for free”, “scare my best friend”, “spy on someone”, “sneak into closed off areas”, etc.
prof. read them all aloud so she could demonstrate how virtually everybody chose something they couldn’t morally or socially get away with if they were witnessed, and she was looking awfully entertained about how quickly the class proved her point until she got to one that just said “go swimming in the ocean.”
she stopped, read it again, and after a short period of confused silence a girl piped up very earnestly from the class “because the sharks wouldn’t be able to see me.”
i’m having a great time reading how people would want to live a day invisibly because we got the Relatables™:
some shit on tumblr: love isn’t always SOFT some times it’s HARSH and SHARP and ROUGH and will BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH BRASS KNUCKLES IN A DARK ALLEYWAY BEHIND THE LOCAL CHILI’S

whenever i want to put a ¯_(ツ)_/¯ in one of my posts i google “shrug emoji” and copy and paste it and i think the reality behind this process kind of undermines the whole blasé, “lmao, who cares? not me” feel i’m trying to add to these posts by adding my little ¯_(ツ)_/¯ guy in the first place
just moving along like everyone else
