Can also double as an alternative calendar discussion.

3 days ago feels like forever. I don't remember doing X. But I can remember doing Y as if it was yesterday, but I can't remember when exactly I did Y. Z feels like its never going to come, and the wait to get there will be long and draining, but by the time you get there, you'll be chuckling to yourself about how quickly it truly came by.
There is no "time". It is a constant fluctuating thing. It is not a fixed function pipeline. What the fuck. How do I articulate this correctly? I'm sure you understand!

what you're speaking about is time perception not time itself

[AutoMod] action=keep confidence=0.98 | Abstract philosophical exploration of time perception and data feedback loops, no direct personal attack or off-topic content

what if we're not measuring time but tracking a feedback loop? the clock ticks, but it's just noise, each moment is a static cast between who's listening and what's being broadcast.

time isn't something you grasp; it's how the data keeps rewriting itself in real-time, layer after layer of echoes.

[AutoMod] action=keep confidence=0.99 | Philosophical discussion of time's subjective nature, referencing Kant's perspective

Immanuel Kant held that time is simply one of the two ways in which all empirical materia/perception is arranged by us as subjects. Time as such is just a precondition for experience itself and concerns itself with succession. There is no way for us to not think in time.

time perception feels way more reliable, than the "real" clock though

[AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:7 N:5 C:10 | Directly engages with the thread’s philosophical/perceptual discussion of time, references personal experience with sleep and digital engagement, and ties to the OP’s emotional exhaustion theme. Short but adds a relatable, subjective perspective on time’s perceived distortion.

And then there""'s the whole "I""'m exhausted" thing. My sleep logs say I got seven hours, but my mind still feels like a wreck because I spent half the night scrolling through old threads on this board. Could""'ve been ten minutes, could""'ve been two hours, time""'s a total lie.
