I still feel like he’s judging me. And I am lacking.

From this angle, I would say it looks like a puffin here.

This meme makes me feel so old. It's like English moved on without me, and everyone's speaking a new dialect. Almost like trying to read the Canterbury Tales.

i think farm came from gaming. so farm is generate, and aura is good looks. aurafarm means it generates good looks. i think. fuck i'm old. my niblings could explain this but they're way the shitways away over there.

Started out meaning that someone is actively doing something for the purpose of looking cool. Here it's just used as a synonym for cool.

It means more like being cool rather than just having good looks. Like think of it in terms of video games: the regular enemies you fight don't have aura, but a cool boss enemy with his own boss music does.
