On first viewing it was awesome, then the reality set it after awhile

Ugh that scene TFA derailed it in microseconds. So much stupid hand waving by JJ. That movie started on such a high note, then every minute following the opening act was like watching a bouncy house slowly deflate.

He’s an entertainer, but also an idiot

I have perfect pitch meaning I can hear a note and be able to tell you witch note it is and at which octave

There’s got to be a more scholarly name for that trend which has existed long before the invention of the word “enshitification”. What is it?

Except for all the stupid MLP shit, I agree

Oof, going way back here. The first time I fell in love? It was insane. I was 16 and so was she. It was crazy stupid love. So much passion, but it was ugly too. My favorite part was losing my virginity to someone I cared for deeply and visa versa, second favorite part was finally getting over her years after the breakup. It was an awful one, embarrassing and cringe inducing in a lot of ways, but it also made me a better person. Wouldnt give all that happiness and pain up in a million years, and this is 25 years later.

Open, to let my stupid cat out otherwise he cries.

(I love him)

I would fuck both cars

Man I have great memories sitting at my dad’s Packard Bell in the mid nineties watch the data stream in from other worlds

It’s rich kids living off of daddy’s money i.e. trust fund babies (trust funds are their own separate thing but you can look that up). It’s not like these people were working as a food server then one day decided to travel the world and make videos about it. They needed a nice financial cushion in order to do that. There are exceptions, but it takes a lot of capital to start your own brand, promote it, pay for the traveling expenses, and somehow get a return.

Trauma

I got to work on the set of Inception! It was super cool, hung around Ken Watanabe and flew Leo to set. His mom was in the trailer with him

I’m fine with them, except for this one

I thought it had less to do with suffering and exploitation (animals do this to each other, no way to stop that nor should we) but more to do with climate change. Cattle farms are causing massive climate change for instance.

Don’t most plants sense light and interact with their environment?

Tardigrades have been observed reacting defensively to danger, even offensively. I know they’re not plants, but do they feel pain? What about brine shrimp?

Jellyfish are super weird because they really blur the lines between plant/animal. It’s a really interesting question to ask honestly.

Yeah, great, build housing. Minimize commuting, minimize pollution, maximize autonomy, maximize bathrobe sales.

That was the vitamin E acetate shenanigans from a few years ago that people were cutting with THC concentrate to make it look thicker/more quality than it actually was. Huge disinformation campaign somehow made nicotine vapes the bad guy even though it was entirely unrelated

The word “millions of eyes” tends to start attracting corporate overlords. When we hit a million users I think things might start changing.
