Defending my own brain against enshittification
I'm talking about Belvita because they are more subtle in flavor, less texturally satisfying, and thinner/more brittle. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was looking for a hybrid job due to overwhelming loneliness and a growing, antisocial alienation from the activities of daily living. So as to not dox myself, I won't reveal too much about my company (some people have emailed me with accurate guesses about where I live and what jobs I've applied to in the past, which was a good sign I've been a bit too loose with the specifics of my life lol).

Defending my own brain against enshittification 10 Aug, 2026 If you haven't had Belvita breakfast cookies, you have probably had Biscoff cookies, which are similar. These are a classic airline snack. You've probably had one along with a Coke with ice in a plastic cup, and thought to yourself, 'these cookies suck.' That is a fair assessment. I'm not talking about Biscoff, though. Those are Belvita breakfast cookie's sweeter counterpart. I'm talking about Belvita because they are more subtle in flavor, less texturally satisfying, and thinner/more brittle. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was looking for a hybrid job due to overwhelming loneliness and a growing, antisocial alienation from the activities of daily living. I found one. It's good.
