It's the difference between the philosophy of conservatism and its practitioners. I can kinda sympathize, seeing as every mention of socialism somehow becomes a riot against the ussr.

Oh god, the high protein fad is even making its way into hair care! Ruuuun!

Oh, lol, I remember the shampoo with menthol I had. I loved how it actually brought feeling back to my life.

Yes, that one, thank you.

“I don’t know! I don’t understand any of this stuff!”

THIS! This is the most frustrating fucking part of it all!

Both of my parents are smart. They have college degrees, were successful within their fields, and can generally pick up on new concepts and ideas really, really quickly. But somehow they just turn off their brains and refuse to engage with whatever is in front of them with a computer. They set up their smart watches quickly, they have no problems with apps and by god, my dad can troubleshoot anything from a boat engine to electrical wiring to freaking concrete work... but if something on the computer isn't working it doesn't matter how you try to explain it, how many times you tell them to just simply fucking. read. what's. on. the. screen. they won't do it. They want someone else to do it all and they won't watch.

Of course you don't fucking understand, you old geezer! You refuse to even make the attempt!

Aye, it's like the 'sex scene' in lion king. When in the context of the film, you wouldn't even notice it as potentially lewd, but a single frame can appear pretty different.

Yeah, but you can still get pretty close to the same idea with the normal, I'd say. Good on the creator for making it a bit better.

If I remember correctly, someone once went down the rabbit hole of clicking on one of those links and documented the experience, and it was a maze of link after link that would make those AI bot trapping programs proud. If you actually got to an article, I'm blown away.

Me: doing my thing

God, visibly sweating and white-knuckling his desk as he watches on the computer monitor: No, no! Stop! Don't stretch it like that! I didn't design the desmosomes to last under that kind of pressure! Oh goooooood, stoooooop! Not the ammo box!

If committing the action literally described as a war crime in the ucmj isn't enough to get any action going, why would this do it? I appreciate the senator's words, but at this point we're done. Cooked. Finished.

Full time critics must be weird to talk with for any length of time. I know my own work bleeds into my perceptions and interests, and can't help but think that critics have their judging hats on for routine, everyday affairs. Imagine your partner sitting in the passenger seat, idly commenting on the lighting of a city park as you drive past (I don't have to imagine, lol, because my partner does amateur film work as a side gig and he loves to talk about his cameras).
