I think these serious topics are a lot better than the serious threads of 2011-2012. A lot more civil discourse as opposed to shouting from both sides.

I get the argument that they should be in Idle Chatter instead but then nobody would respond to them.

remember the hate clubs

because I do

The whole Stormy Daniels fiasco has gotten so old, like oh my God it's been unending for over a month. The fact that's it's still going on is mind blowing. Enough with it. What else is there to talk about? Why does it have to be SO BIG?

I wouldn't do that. Everything you post here is public, no account required. Even here.

Just saying I feel safer

I've cried more this year so far than I have in the previous 5, maybe even 10 years.

Is this a problem? Maybe, maybe not.

Crying in itself isn't a problem. But rather, if there are problems causing you to feel distressed enough to cry, and they aren't getting solved, than that would be a problem.

Hopefully things get better for you.

Thanks man.

Crying doesn't necessarily mean sadness either, not sure how it is with other people but sometimes I also just get this sort of ethereal happiness that makes me cry like a baby.

The fact that Steve Brule is played by an Oscar Nominated actor still blows my mind.

John C. Reilly is the only actor in the world who can get away with that

He really is.

As much as I love the MCU, part of me feels bad for latching on so hard to what is essentially a corporate machine. My love of movies and my love of Marvel comes into great conflict all the time and it’s hard not to get down about enjoying something that a lot of people would classify as “not real cinema”.

I’m not saying that I believe the MCU is the death of cinema. Quite the opposite! I love what the MCU and Disney has done with these iconic characters and I think Infinity War took a lot of risks... like, props to the Russo Brothers for their balls to pull off some of the stuff they do in that movie. But we’re they really risks in the long run?

Ugh...IDK, I’m rambling at this point, but I just wish I could let myself enjoy something simple and dumb like this without worrying if people will call me a “sheep” for buying into another Disney production.

why do critics gotta be so pretentious anyway?

Critics aren’t even really tearing into Infinity War, it’s just the whole stigma around “superhero films” makes me depressed for some reason. I know several people who like talking about how Marvel movies are just terrible and that there’s no real soul put into them and I just feel... silly for taking them as is and attaching myself to these characters.

It’s why I can’t stand channels like YMS and RLM when it comes to these big budget releases. Their perpetuation of the “soulless cashgrabs for children” narrative makes me feel like “part of the problem”, which is such an irrational fear of mine.

This fear comes in waves whenever I like something that is extremely popular and some contrarian assholes try to ruin the fun. I’ve learned to try and block out those people and just spread the positivity about an experience I have. Clearly this didn’t happen earlier today, heh

All in all, I just need to learn to handle opinions better. I’m passionate for the things I consume because I want to create some things of my own someday. My tastes and interests are continuously evolving as my want to create grows stronger. It’s hard to find a balance between legit gripes and pointless cynicism

i think im kinda dyslexic or something. i don't believe in self diagnosis so i dunno. my reading comprehension has always been amazing, even scoring way above all my peers. in recent years however, i can't seem to read aloud. words become mixed up, or i miss some. i can read in my head just fine, though..its weird.
idk maybe im just over reacting.

sexuality talk, so probably tmi

Reveal Spoiler

I used to think I might be ace due to past experiences, up until just a few years ago.
Then I realized, surrounded by a world of hookup-culture, I just cannot fathom hooking up with someone unless I have deep romantic feelings (with which I'm already extremely picky). I have friends that always talk about hooking up at parties and stuff and I can't relate, and when even attractive people came onto me in those situations in the past I felt dreadful.
I realized I closely identify with demisexuality BUT..... I feel like being 'choosy' has become synonymous with demisexuality in today's society, where casual hookups are common.
I feel like it's just a dressed up word for that so I feel cringey talking about it as a different 'sexuality' .

eh just self reflecting

I think that's just common sense. Casual hookups can be harmful in many ways, and in all honesty it would feel very shallow to get to know to someone by having sex with them.

popping open biscuit containers like the pillsberry ones give me anxiety for no reason

I don't like how soft the world is becoming. Nowadays, a light-hearted joke can be the cause of lawsuits and hundreds being "offended." I mean, there are obvious things that aren't okay, like extreme racism and discriminatory stuff, but that's not what I mean. I find that as time goes on, more and more people get offended by the littlest things to the point where it's getting ridiculous.
