Go

Yeah I think it’s the flat, arid looking neighbourhood plus the kids in costume on a mission - it’s very similar

Reminds me of ET when they’re all in costume

Can this stay on Reddit? We don’t need to copy everything over. It was so overdone over there anyway

Are you in a locker room? By yourself? Why? And with this assortment of cheese? Why?

I believe there’s still a system of tubes somewhere

The book is so much better.

Sportsball is kinda a shit term - you don’t have to like sports and yes society venerates it over far more important achievements/pursuits, but it’s a bit childish to refer to it in that way.

My theory is that a lot of that kind of poor behaviour is generally from men who have grown up with the toxic masculinity traits of believing that sad is bad, angry is manly. I’ve seen people openly weep over the outcomes of a game - I think these people are feeling the same emotions but haven’t been given the societal permission to express it in its true form. So they do angry instead. It’s not acceptable at all but that’s what I think the reason is.

Nah that’s the currawong

This was great, thanks for posting!

I don’t know why, but I just felt the urge to go have a look at r/conservatives. It’s exactly what you imagine. Dear oh dear

No, no, the immigrants are eating the dogs, didn’t you know? He saw it on TV

Uh yeah… Some did say things to that effect.

And there are other behaviours that can demonstrate that mindset.

But thank you for mansplaining my lived experience, champ. Couldn’t have navigated that one with my pea sized, woman’s brain.

I go through life making snap judgements of people I hire and don’t at all try to find common ground or empathise with their position, because I love pissing money up the wall and endless recruitment processes. Just floats my boat, you know

Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn’t a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.

We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn’t work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.

It was disappointing.

In the, admittedly terrible, movie Moonfall (2022) they use his tech and one of the main characters keeps saying things like “God I love Elon”. I guess it was under development in years previous but we long knew that he was a babyish edgelord (see behaviour over the rescue of the Thai soccer team in 2018).

Seems shortsighted to make him such a focus.

Dude, he remembers things being hot in hot places. I don’t know why we even measure things and keep records. This bloke just remembers!

I’ve wondered this as a ciswoman who is hetero and far as I’m aware, neuro typical.

Growing up I had all kinds of identity questions and it’s taken me a long time to both understand who I am and what I want for myself; to make peace with a few things about my personality etc.

I wonder if the struggles of trans/queer/ND people to find their identity delay those additional questions? Or are they layered on top as well?

No real point, just a musing I’ve had. Being a human is hard even when you’re already ticking boxes that society says you should.

Con Air and The Wicker man.

Pig broke me and I’ll never watch it again. But it was great.

I can smell this. Mmmmm.

I’m also drinking some damn good coffee right now so maybe that helps.

I’ve never seen this before. It’s beautiful.

Thanks for posting!
