Anon should be disappointed in their teacher, honestly.

I’ll consider it! I want Pluto (2023) on dvd or bluray, but it is on lock on netflix and i simply refuse to subscribe to that shit. I have a soft spot for Naoki Uwasaki. He’s one of the only mangaka living today, who manages to tell stories that I like.

But yeah, i dont know how piracy deals with language and subtitle options in today’s landscape. Because I prefer to have options and I’m not sure I could get a pirated dvd version where i can switch language and/or subtitles while watching.

But thank you for the the tip, friend! I have starred your comment so i can find it if/when i look into it. 🤗❤️

In my case, i went back to physical media. Bought a blhray player and now my boyfriend and I are gradually expanding our movie library when we feel like it. Some movies and shows don’t exist on dvd/bluray, but that’s okay. I think there is something healthy about not having access to absolutely everything you want at all times. Besides, for me, there is also something satisfying in having ti get up from the couch and change discs and so on. I missed the physical aspect of watching movies and remember how much streaming services fried my fucking brain while i still used them.

It was to the point where you barely register wtf you are watching because everything on streaming services is about the next thing.

Movies werent movies on streaming services, but content and I heard people starting to refer to movies and shows as content at some point and was like “this is fucked”.

Content. Content to fill the void. Not to experience or educate, enlighten or provoke your senses and morality. Just content to distract you.

Ew.

I dont mimd piracy, but i prefer physical media. I no longer wish to follow technollgical advancements. I want to go back and stay at a place where there was some level of conscious and physical effort to watch a movie. That way you remember it better, you slow down and you appreciate the piece of art in front of you rather than seeing it as content.

The movie “Shame” is a pretty good example of lonliness despite having sex constantly. I think it was with Michael Fassbender and from 2012, but it’s been awhile so I don’t remember. Good movie, though. Real feel bad film.

First of all: that is not how it works

Second of all: the loneliness epidemic is not just happening to men, it is happening to everybody.

Third of all: loneliness can happen to anyone, even people who appear to have it all. It is not just the extreme stereotype of the hermit who barely speaks to a living soul for two years, that is valid in feeling lonely. Sometimes it’s the people who seem to have a big network of friends who are the loneliest because all their friendships are superficial and the person may struggle to commit to others and be vulnerable. Other people become distractions from a deep hurt and selfloathing, they don’t know how to address. No one is ever let in because it’s too scary and risky to show weakness. But you have 50 friends and is everybody’s pal, so you can’t be lonely, right?

And then there’s the more mundane type of loneliness, that happens to a lot of people in the first world when they enter the workforce and/or start a family. It can become terribly lonely when you don’t have the time and energy to nurture friendships and community because you work all the time and in the current day and age, social activity takes place on screens. People hang out on social media where they share pics and political views instead of meeting up for a beer or a lemonade to chat like our parents’ generations did.

I have seen countless posts from 30somethings over the past decade, who ask about how to make friends at their age because they feel so lonely and all their old friends live far away. These are men and women. Some of them are parents of newborns others are single career people who have been grinding and suddenly realized they have neglected their social life.

Everybody is lonely in this day and age. I have felt lonely for years because i had to grind at work and didnt have time for recrrational activities. I have plenty of friends, good family and a lovely boyfriend and I was still lonely because I had to work all the time. Doesn’t help that all my friends and family live far away so most of our interactions are on screens and not in the flesh. And if there is anything I think the modern first world human being is undervaluing and neglecting, it’s physical closeness and irl community. The screens have replaced that despite being the shittiest substitute for physical touch imaginable.

To me, there is nothing that can calm every cell in my body like a hug from someone i love and whom I know loves me back. It is irreplacable.

I still remember when he cried in jail because he had a PS2 and wanted a PS3. He was rejected.

He also snuggled with his mother in bed and was so extreme that the neo nazi forum he frequented banned him for being too radical.

I remember visiting a neo nazi forum while the situstion was occuring and while it was a shocking and terrible time, i did get a kick out of seing them all first talk about muslim terrorists with this smug, arrogant “sadness” like “yet another attack by islamists. Could’ve been avoided if they would listen to us”.

Then when the news broke that it was one of their own who’d done it, thry completely shifted tone and became very busy disavowing him and making no true scotsman arguments.

The part that saddens me is that in today’s world, these types would celebrate him and revel in the hate and harm one of them had caused. They would make him a martyr and a hero.

I miss living in a world where even the lowest scum in society still had some level of humanity to them.

Today’s world is being run by extremism and hatred and glee to see those you hate suffer.

I dont know where people’s humanity went, but i hope we will someday look back on the 2020s and cringe at ourselves for allowing humanity to go mad.

I miss when the world was a bit more normal.

I disagree. Someone who struggles with their own hygiene and eating isn’t necessarily so bad they need hospice care. Because if that is the bar, then every quadriplegic person in the world also deserves to die. That is why I reacted so strongly. You cannot say that someone should be abandoned to die if they can’t take care of their own hygiene and struggle with eating. If we are talking about someone who is borderline comatose and/or in constant pain, whose body is trying actively give up, yet is constantly bring brought back to life, then it is a problem. But an elderly person who develops a handicap due to aging and therefore needs support, shouldn’t be abandoned to die if they are otherwise doing well.

I’m sorry you and your mom went through all of that, but there is a pretty big difference between hospice care and wanting to help your elderly parents with daily chores and hygiene because they have gotten a frail.

There are many elderly people who get a home carer to help them with hygiene and daily chores who aren’t on death’s door yet and to just abandon them to a slow death in filth and loneliness is pure evil. After your explanation, I’m relieved that you probably don’t think we should just abandon all elderly people who need help. Sounds like you were just speaking from a traumatizing experience and I can’t imagine what that was like for you. But an elderly person who needs help with daily chores is not the same as a hospice patient who is kept alive to the point where it is no longer humane. Because that part I fully agree with you on!

You are a genuinely terrifying person.

He absolutely traumatized me in IT when I was 8 years old, lol. Was scared of clowns for over a decade, until my boyfriend made me watch IT with him in our dorm room in 2010. I immediately had my fear of clowns cured because Tim Curry’s Pennywise is absolutely hilarious.

He had one of the most fun and interesting acting careers. So many crazy movies. Always a joy. He’s missed and I hope he passed surrounded by loved ones<3

I hope anon gets some help. It’s hard to find your way out of that bleakness once you’re there. I speak from experience, and it IS possible to get better. Self worth takes a lifetime to build if your parents didn’t make the fundament for it in you. It’s still worth working on it.

It’s okay to not be the perfect adult, when you have barely learned what adulthood is. It’s okay to be a late bloomer. It’s okay to be uncertain. It’s okay to do life at your own pace. But don’t let the bleakness win. No matter how shite it gets, it won’t last forever and you will find the way back from that pit. Even if it happens at such a slow and sluggish pace, that you don’t even notice the improvements from day to day.

I wish I could give anon a hug. Been there too, buddy.

Have had good results with cherry tomatoes this years and that’s despite me planting mine way too late in the season and on a total whim. I keep mine in a pot outside. I live in Denmark, so it’s a bit of a different climate to yours, but I think tomatoes are pretty easy to grow in many parts of the world :D

They are still green and I don’t know if they will turn red before the temperatures decline into single digits, but considering how much of a yolo decision this was, to just sow them because I felt sorry for myself and wanted to see something grow, it’s pretty remarkable how many tomatoes it ended up producing. They are THIRSTY, though!

My silver spoon. Got mine when I was baptized as a baby.
Contrary to the stereotype, I did not grow up rich and privileged.

Have used it as any other utensil my whole life. It’s a nice sized spoon. Not too big, not too small. Only downside to it, is that silver absorbs the temperatures of whatever food or beverage you stick it into, so if it’s really hot soup, prepare to get burned and if it’s icecream, it will be almost frosty to the touch. It’s not the prettiest sight, since I don’t bother polishing it. To me it has the same value as my childhood pair of scissors, that I got in kindergarten and still use today because they are still sharp. Shit was made to last back in the day. Even my teddy bear, which was once stolen by a classmate, who did his best to rip his head off - and failed - is solid. His seams are not giving up despite pushing 40 years on this planet. I genuinely don’t know what he’s made of, because that bear has been through ALOT and he still looks super well preserved, which is something most people in my life have commented on, when they have seen him on my bookshelf.

It’s all fine and dandy that they only think about the big cities, but the problem is that the focus on public transport seem to be exclusively focused on big cities while those of us who live in rural areas are starved for public transport options.

I see they pick Copenhsgen among the places to praise public transport. Psh. Cool. I live in Jutland and my household was literally forced to buy a car after they cut the public transport budget in our city - again - and as a result, my boyfriend was forced to get up at 3 in the morning to be at work at 8. So, we bought a car because it was literally killing him and the limited time we had as a couple already, was pretty much eradicated.

Getting a car not only did wonders for his health, it also gave us our relationship a much needed boost because now he had the energy to actually be awake and do things with me, when he got home from work.

There are zero signs that public transport is a priority where we live and we aren’t going back now. We did everything to depend on public transport and save the expense of having a car until we were in our 30s and the only reason we ended up buckling was because public transport was cut from our area. It wasn’t only his bus route that was fucked with, btw. When I wanted to go see friends and family, the busses I used to take had been cut too and I suddenly had to take three trains and two busses to go see people who lived two to three hours away by car took me something around 6 hours to go on a 2 hours ride anywhere. One time they flat out canceled my bus home and I was stuck on a train station in Aarhus at midnight Nad would have to wait until 4 in the morning to get home. My boyfriend came and picked me up in the car and told me that from now on he’d drive me when I went because the last few trips I had taken had been disasters and this one had been the worst one yet. I had left for home, btw, at around 5 in the afternoon and wasn’t home until 2 in the morning. That trio would have taken me 3 hours by car. Public transport forced me to be on the go for 9 hours and that is only because my boyfriend picked me up. If he hadn’t done that, it would have been 13 hours.

That is unacceptable. And from what I have been told recently, public transport has only gotten worse in Denmark since. But I’m so happy for people in Copenhagen that they get to have busses, trains and metro that arrive every two minutes and take them anywhere they need to go. Must be nice.

Was about to comment that if this story was true and not all made up, it’d be really funny.

However my bullshit meter was also blaring because of how many youtube shorts nowadays are about animals acting like humans and people just eat it up without questioning it.

Dunno that I would call Anthony Hopkins ugly.

Also, one could technically place Longlegs in that category as well.

Vultures are metal af.

Cool, thanks!

What does the 2S stand for?

You should look up “first look best man pranks” on YouTube.

This one is my personal fav and I do believe it was the one that started the trend too.
