Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide

Date: January 26th, 2025

I've been watching Ned's Declassified episodes and then watching the rewatch podcast. I actually really like that they barely talk about the show and just share stories about their lives. I wanted to audition for All That back in 2004 but I wasn't allowed to, so I feel like I'm absorbing their celebrity experiences. It's like stolen valor but internal.

This has been how I've been microdosing human contact during my forced isolation. So I've been watching social media like a goddamn zoo. Even randomly piping in, people have been like "dude you've posted a lot" and I'm like "dude I was homeless and trying to start an entertainment brand." I had a lot of downtime.

Like– I knew the internet was brutal from when I was younger, like when I got lynched for my Animal Crossing blog having cuss words and shit. But you guys will just lynch mob people for the tiniest mistakes. It’s genuinely horrifying to watch.

It’s like being in the house in Saw 2 where you just keep seeing people get nerfed for mistakes you could have easily made. Like “oh wow, people will get mad at you trying to entertain them if you don’t do it 100% right.” Crazy entitlement. Screams “main character syndrome.” Y'all gotta go to a party and kiss a whore or something.
