in wisdom you become old · riki's house

hey! looks like you have JavaScript disabled.
I respect that decision, but you may find the experience of browsing the treehouse… not great.
for example, links to branches may not work properly. I cannot do anything about this; it's due to how the <details> element works.
(a <details> will not expand itself automatically to reveal the linked element to you.)
I did my best to at least keep the site readable in this state, but you can only do so much with plain HTML and CSS.

Pinky promise this website does not contain any malicious code such as trackers or cryptocurrency miners.
if you don't believe me, you're free to inspect the source yourself! all the scripts are written lovingly in vanilla JS (not minified!) by yours truly ❤️

and if this box is annoying, feel free to block it with uBlock Origin or something. I have no way of remembering you closed it, and don't wanna add a database to this website. simplicity rules!

this is kind of weird, but recently I have noticed I no longer keep up with slang

maybe this is because I no longer browse memes. not on our friend circle’s private Discord, not on Reddit, pretty much nowhere
2024-07-01
- memes largely arrive to me directly from specific people. I don’t go out to kill boredom with memes anymore.
  2024-07-01
- at some point I realized browsing memes adds nothing to my life, and I just stopped doing it. obviously something had to take their place in killing time, and that became… reading Lobste.rs. I think that’s a net positive since you can genuinely learn a lot from people’s writing about computing, but getting time for that required abandoning memes.

the realization that I gain nothing by browsing memes is probably what one could call a piece of wisdom; life knowledge, stuff that shapes your worldview.
2024-07-01
- but by gaining more wisdom, I have lost knowledge of popculture
  2024-07-01
  - not that you can define popculture in today’s society that well anyways. there are so many little corners of culture that it’s hard to tell what’s popular anymore

…don’t tell anyone, but I like it that way. I can focus on my art and making it unique. no need to chase trends.
2024-07-01
- even if it means being called an old fart at some point. timeless > trendy
