shoutout to the guy at my showing of Becoming Led Zepplin who did sit in my seat (in like a truly empty movie theatre) but then bravely shushed the people in front of us who were shouting their conversation over the ads and then didn't stop when the movie started

He’s not being asked he’s telling everyone what he’s doing regardless. Exactly what narcissists do.

i don't understand everyone being so up in arms about the buffy reboot before we know anything about the direction like -- And Just Like That is the worst show ever but it didn't ruin SATC for me in any single way because i simply...do not watch it or care it exists.

I get that we undersell the impact of the internet because there's no chance of regulations happening in the current system but I do think a large number of seemingly healthy people are experiencing celebrity-relationship induced psychosis

It's a really weird time to be launching your own business right now and yet...here I am making my little plans and attempting to help make the world a little easier by teaching people how to communicate and hold better meetings

fascinated by the lack of filter people have between having a video and *needing* to post it online -- it used to be relegated to youtubers but now it's regular degular people needing the validation of the internet for every action of their lives
