  • Yeah, it’s definitely a vibe. I took a wormhole (time travel) to 1991, walked into a blockbuster and keeled over from nostalgia.

    Nostalgia is such a complex/convoluted feeling – you can’t have it if you didn’t have a past to draw the experience from, but when you do have it, it’s almost like a religious or philosophical experience both acknowledging and becrying (or grieving) the passage of time.

    Unfortunately, even with a “time machine”, we the people who walk through the portals are ever changed. We won’t ever live in the past again. We can see those places and experience them in our present states, but…

    Just like a glass shattering on the ground and the pieces scattering: Entropy cannot be undone.

    I had this unironically happen in a statistics class.

    I visited said professor during office hours, and he goes: “How do you think you did?”

    I said: “Statistically speaking given a standard distribution, the probability of me scoring any higher or lower than the mean is unlikely, so I guess give me a C for the course”

    He stops and looks and then looks back at the computer: “Because you understand that, I’m giving you an A.”
