Elster? I Hardly Know Her!

crying rn because I just found out Kirsten Dunst wanted to write and direct a movie adaptation of the bell jar but it never happened and won't happen in the future

Hbomberguy isn't the goat because he 'destroys careers' or 'dunks on things/people I hate', he's one of the best on the platform because he actually backs up all his claims with research (EXTENSIVE research, considering he will actually read related scientific articles and so on) and creates his videos with the intent of sharing an original overarching message. When he engages critically he does so in good faith, and with media it comes from a place of passion and WANTING something to be good.

am i making you feel sick?

I don't know why people don't seem aware of this, but going out of your way to step in and say "this does not apply to me because I am not part of this conversation :)" does not contribute to the conversation. If you're aware that you have nothing to do with this subject, you are allowed to just skip it. It's always morally correct to not step into something that doesn't involve you just to announce that it doesn't involve you.

"I don't need this advice for how to avoid contaminated meat because I'm vegan :)" that's nice dear. This information has nothing to do with what we were talking about and brings nothing of value to the conversation.

"I don't need this advice for how to stay safe in these spaces because I don't go to those places :)" that's nice dear. This information has nothing to do with what we were talking about and brings nothing of value to the conversation.

"I don't need to pay attention to these culturally gendered red flags because I don't date that gender :)" that's nice dear. This information has nothing to do with what we were talking about and brings nothing of value to the conversation.

"I already avoided this fun but risky activity because I didn't like doing it in the first place :)" that's nice dear. This information has nothing to do with what we were talking about and brings nothing of value to the conversation.

You don't need to announce that some situation, post, or piece of advice doesn't apply to you. Your perspective on such matters is not valuable.

not normie enough to fit in but not fringe enough to lean into being a freak, worst of both worlds, pure liminality, just the weird coworker, and unrelatable classmate. and your mutual
