It's difficult to tell whether he's capitalising on existing grievances or creating them. It's trumpian as fuck either way.
Rewatching it's always sunny in philadelphia for like the 50th time.
More war. Not necessarily WW3 but an increase in the number of proxy type conflicts.
They should take the third season over to FX.
Housing is by far the biggest expense for me. I look at the increasing number of tents in my city and know that I'm only one or two rent increases away from joining them.
The recent BtB episode about him hit me so hard. I feel like I relate a lot to Swartz because I really value knowledge. The episode ultimately made me feel hopeful but with a deep underpinning of sadness. The point Margret and Robert made about his death being a turning point really stood out to me.
His whole life story explains everything already. The drugs are just the icing on the cake.
Just finished reading the book and I wouldn't say the bleakness has no purpose. The bleakness contrasts those brief moments of un-bleakness (hope feels like too strong a word in this context). Those moments like drinking coke or finding shrivelled apples on the brink of starvation became so much more meaningful because of how bleak their situation is.
I lost what little faith I had left in our current arrangement of society and our capacity to cooperate within this context. My worst fears were realised as it became apparent just how many people, entire governments even, are more than willing to abandon the vulnerable to the capitalist machine. The fact that at one point people were trying to argue that death is actually not that bad and not being able to go to bars and cafes was actually the real injustice. I'd say that's a pretty long term consequence for me personally.
I'm autistic so for me it was speech first. Didn't really learn to read body language until my teenage years and it was something I had to actively force myself to learn. Still can't really do it all that well though to be honest.
The best part is they stock the Australian flag all year round. They're just not stocking all the extra Australia day shit because people aren't buying it. They chose to stock hot cross buns in January instead because people buy them.
