I was in a situationist international forum, just to see what kind of discussion was going on. What I realized that was some people weren’t familiar with the difference between situationism and “situationships”, and were posting in the wrong place, seeking relationship advice.
IDK what to do:
I’m scared to tell him how I feel. We’ve been talking for over 6 months and he has yet to ask me on a date, or even be his girlfriend. We do everything couples do though: go out to eat, wine nights, face mask nights, FaceTime every night you can literally name anything a couple does and we’ve probably done it. I don’t think about why he hasn’t made it official yet…it’s not something I ponder about every night before I go to bed, but when I do think about it I end up over thinking everything.
I know I need to talk to him about it but I’m honestly scared. I always have the perfect moments of where I could tell him too but it never gets past my mouth.
I love these accidentally categorization mishaps in things.
The commenters jumped on, and often responded in a manner that honored the actual focus of the group.
The oldest social specialization, the specialization of power, is at the root of the spectacle. The spectacle is thus a specialized activity which speaks for all the others. It is the diplomatic representation of hierarchic society to itself, where all other expression is banned. Here the most modern is also the most archaic.
Let him know how you feel. Then tell him you want him to join you in abolishing labor. If he refuses, you find your community elsewhere. No one can love you if they do not love their life.
Capitalism reduces all relationships—including romantic ones—to transactions, where people are valued based on their utility, status, and marketability rather than genuine connection. Dating apps function like marketplaces, optimizing for efficiency, desirability, and disposability, encouraging people to constantly seek a “better deal.” Love becomes a consumer good, and partners are treated like products—kept as long as they “add value” and discarded when they no longer serve a purpose. Just as capitalism conditions us to chase newer, shinier commodities, it also normalizes abandoning relationships the moment they require effort or stop offering immediate gratification.
Also, it sounds like this guy is just not that into you. Find someone who values you and wants to be with you. You deserve it.
Some other examples that come off the top of my head that I’ve encountered over the years of niche groups being accidentally entered:
- Burial (electronic music) discussion group constantly having advertisements of actual funeral service plugs (to the extent they keep a tally)
- Previously there was a streaming site called Rabbit, which allowed shared screenwatches. Occasionally people would join the group seeking rabbit advice.
Completely Miscategorized
If you don’t know the underlying categorization or the categorization is wrong what happens?
In searching for a particular book, I find this title
What it looks to be is a Turkish book, possibly with the title “abbreviation for what?” but what is this ”2 x DDR Super Deluxe…”, that reads like an eBay listing?
I find another reference, the same book, listed on Archive.org, the scan of the book has a barcode on the front saying Houston Public Library.
How did we get here? If we wanted to, could we understand, empirically, the origin of this complete nominal blend?
