Focault's idea that modern power flows through discourse is relevant when we consider that under its influence, "we get recruited into comparing ourselves to social norms and policing our own behavior" without consciously registering this.

Feeling guilty bc someone shares their upset feelings about something you did does not mean they are "guilt tripping" you.
2009-era Tumblr really did a number on liberal Millennials, as did therapy-speak TikTok on Gen Z. The use of therapy terms is so warped.

Can we please stop using the word "humans" as a stand-in for "people"? It's already understood what mammal species you are referring to by using "people" so it's a weird thing to bring up in conversation.
You sound like you must be a talking animal.

This sounds very much like a early to mid 2000s thing. It reminds me of when Zuckerberg was trying to get everyone to do meetings with VR avatars for some reason.

No, screenwriting has gone down in quality in the last couple decades for sure. It's definitely not just you.

If you ever suspect anyone of not being a sincere person, go see how cringey their Linkedin comments are and that should tell you something.

I'm sorry about your MCAS but I'm not going to ask people on the street to never wear perfume or scented deodorant because of mine. Taking stuff like smoking down the street to be a personal attack against you sitting in your home is why no one takes anything we say as leftists seriously anymore.

When I smoked I lived alone and went across the street to do it. Same with friends. Maybe you don't live in a state with a lot of non-smoking laws idk

It's visually interesting. That's the short answer. Also is interpreted to mean a variety of things about a character doing it, hence, it is portrayed in movies.

No I see the point. He's saying that OP is requesting movies omit a pretty commonplace human behavior out of preference and comparing it to the common request that gays be less visible in media bc people are likewise uncomfortable.

no, no, never ever assume there's any coordination. The tech industry is full of herd animals - everybody is copying everybody else without really thinking about it. It's FOMO mixed with complete disconnection from value creation at the executive/VP level and a few levels below that too

My co-worker's friend has a capuchin monkey. To get him to wake up, it often hits him in the face and then jumps into the rafters where he can't reach it. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I think the nuance is: needing to not be alone at all times and wanting a partner are quite different!

Accurate. You have to fight for care in the US for other reasons too, because the medical system incentivizes docs to see the next patient as fast as possible, for example. Capitalism is a hydra.

Notre Dame before & after is like Ally Sheedy before & after in The Breakfast Club.
This is not a good thing.

Aggregate tropes and elements in film can always be evaluated as a reflection of anxieties of the time (see the road as an element evolve alongside the automotive industry, for instance) so it's interesting to see more work like Silo, Severance, and others as clear anxieties about bureaucracy.

We have got to stop acting like everybody is getting information in some sort of pure form and then making illogical decisions. Unrestrained algorithms and growth hacking are the largest scale ecological disaster in history and we are finally beginning to pay for it.
