dear friend from the other thread >>18783948
pectus excavatum can be rather subtle, especially from the front.

this one (link + pic related) is considered severe.

hotness

I had (and still kinda do) this massive crush on this maoist girl in college. She was like a libertarian communist who supported gun rights and read all of Tao Lin’s stuff. She was a bit of a nutcase but literally the cutest I’ve ever seen

[Anonymous No.18789270]

[Anonymous No.18789293]

>>18789270
are they wrong though?

[Anonymous No.18790008]

>>18789270
i find it kind of annoying too, but i also think in retrospect he knows how fucking annoying he sounds constantly mentioning it. its part of Li as a character

[Anonymous No.18790082]

>>18790008
Yeah Im trying to read it like that but still feels like hes lowkey trying to peddle his snake oil

[Anonymous No.18790093]

>>18790082
does he peddle his special Tao Lin diet, like Jordan Peterson's daughter's all-meat diet?

as autistic as ever
"Life had evolved in Earth’s electromagnetic field, the invisible glow made by the fifty or so lightning bolts that occurred globally every second. The field’s main frequency was 7.83 hertz—oscillations per second—with weaker harmonics up to 45 hertz and spikes to more than 100 hertz. Human brain waves oscillated in the same range, except during sleep, when they slowed to below 7.83 hertz, as if to resonate with a different world. The U.S. power grid operated at 60 hertz. Phones and Wi-Fi used microwaves from 0.8 to 2.4 billion hertz. Waves from 400 to 800 trillion hertz were visible to humans as color. CT scans used X-rays, which exceeded 30 quadrillion hertz.
Li realized the waveringly transauditory buzzing he sometimes heard or felt might be unnatural frequencies and amplitudes of light. He noticed he could parse language, feel emotions, sustain thoughts, discern tone, and remember things better in parks than in 4K, and better in 4K, despite the seventy-plus Wi-Fi routers his MacBook detected, than in the library, where, amid computers and phones, he seemed to regularly go brain-dead."
