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.

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)

In some ways yes but it can have the opposite effect too. I know lots of left leaning people who grew up in super religious/conservative families and hate everything about their beliefs.

The super rich are usually highly educated but they live in such a homogenous bubble that they’re opinions on the majority of society should be entirely discounted. They usually have a total lack of empathy for people and vote for politicians with the same attitude. I have met some super rich people who try very hard to go against the grain and not fall into that mindset, but something about the need for protecting your money and lifestyle usually promotes an untrustworthy and skeptical view of everyone in their lives including their own family.

Hmmm

This is the kind of headline that editors love to come up with:

“From Bateman to Batman: Christian Bale’s Amazing Journey from childhood star to emotional powerhouse.”

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.

We want to be rid of the poop wars

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
