=== ANCHOR POEM === ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── I didn't forget your birthday. I forgot to message you on your birthday, but I texted you two days before and two days after asking about it. I asked to plan something to celebrate, you didn't want to. I made you a gift and everything, that I never got to give you. I didn't forget your birthday, you forgot your friend. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/112 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── I live through the moments where I find a folder of stuff I made that I forgot about and I can go back and see it for the first time. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #2 messages/532 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── "no need to thank me.

If they wanted to play with me they would text me. It does, however, make me think about video games more. And seeing their name makes me think of them, which makes me feel closer to them without actually interacting. Which is kind-of an anti-behavior, like facebook stalking except... paying attention to what your friends are playing and when and how much and... not good. I know a lot of people who are permanently offline on Steam because of reasons like that. But, of course, they can still see everyone else, which feels like an anti-pattern... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────┘ |
