There you go, that's a Fooie original for you. And I'm not a piece of shit. Though I was a piece of shit. Sloppy steaks and all.

Very likely schizotypal, definitely severe social anxiety, a fuckton of phobias, upbringing and class context which was racist AF but still he managed to have good "salt of the earth" black characters in his stories. That is, he imagined black people, with agency and everything, whom he was not terrified of, that's not being a piece of shit that's conscience and hope shining through more existential terror than you can imagine. Hard enough to find rapport with people when you're schizotypal in the first place (you inevitably, in search for actual connection, start talking to their subconsciousness which often ends in a barrage of projection), doubly and triply so when you're caught up in upper-class ritual.

So, kindly, fuck off with your normie judgements building the exact barriers that cause the persistence of problems you're judging others for not solving.

As humans in civil society, we're kinda obligated to not do the bad things though. That's the danger with becoming rich and/or famous... I don't believe money corrupts, but reveals our darker impulses, once we feel we could get away with doing them.

Humans need need some dread to take our minds off from all the other dread.

The "unconventional computing laboratory" was definitely founded in partnership with Miskatonic U.

Usually ends in "wheep ni ni grah". But my universal greeting is rusty. Maybe a regional dialect of universal greeting.
