the dang problem with this place is everyone wants to make accessible tweets that people love, but they also want to express their every passing thought. and that's an irreconcilable contradiction, except for in this tweet expressing it, which rules and i don't care who sees it

the paradox of cool is that you achieve it when and only when you've stopped trying to achieve it and stopped trying to name it. it's like the eternal nameless Tao, but with lots more drugs and heists and capers. it's just a lot fucking cooler

of course, sometimes the way to be cool is to have compassion. to be able to fight but to have the presence of mind to say "Cool it, Joe. Not today." while twirling your pool cue impressively so you're not just backing down, then dropping it to deescalate the situation

there are many ways to be cool. hell, even I can be cool once in a while, what with my mischievous new podcast laugh that no one's ever heard me do where my voice kind of cracks and which will make everyone love me for about 6 months but which I will refuse to be defined by

even being uncool can be kinda cool. like take me again for an example. i sincerely can see myself, being swept, pathetic and dying into the forgotten ocean, my only impact the things i'd said and done and people i'd helped or harmed, living on through what little i did in life

on the one hand, this is just some vanilla religion. on the other hand, it's the most metal sentiment ever expressed. i rise from that dead and forgotten ocean and i will be part of the scavenger dragging the last human, dying, into the nameless ocean, into that perfect oblivion

it's incredibly nerdy to have thoughts like this. on the other hand, i'm not trying to be cool or like impress anyone or nothin, so it's actually incredibly cool of me to say that. in fact everything i'm saying is possessed of that ineffable charisma of effortless confident cool

hell, i don't even have an endgame with this thread. it's not going anywhere. it's just a bunch of shit i said, in a random order, on a vague theme. which is the coolest motivation you can have. or, maybe it's not i don't know. it would help if it was so i can wrap this thread up

i've learned a lot from people on this site but the only thing the site taught me is how to conclude an aimless thread with some memorable phrases so it feels like you went somewhere, but really you didn't. you never left the house. even in your imagination you didn't move 5 feet
