Several times on here I've seen the take "I know local theater is bad and cringey, but you have to support it anyway!" And while I understand what they're getting at, I'm always like, why do you assume it's going to be "bad" just because the artists are members of your own community? I just saw a local production of The Importance of Being Earnest and it was HILARIOUS. Everyone was DELIGHTFULLY funny and we thoroughly enjoyed it! There have been so many times I've been greatly moved by "amateur" or student art, and if you can't allow yourself to appreciate anything but "the Best" (and who decides what "the Best" is anyway? This production of "Earnest" was way funnier than the version that Judy Dench and Rupert Everett were in, as deservedly "famous" as they might be) then you are just being a joyless snob. There's beauty and talent all around you. And if that makes me "easy to please," then well... That means I'm pleased more often! And why should I want to apologize for that?

the point of no return happens so quick in hamlet. like it is literally hamlet speaking to the ghost. not even agreeing to the vengeance i feel. it’s trying to bring back what is gone and horatio knows it too. that’s why he’s so desperate to stop hamlet. like hamlet dooms himself the moment he speaks with what might not even be his dead father. there is no amount of mourning that can fix what’s gone there is no amount of vengeance that will satisfy his grief there is nothing his mother can say that will make him see her as he did before. but for a second he believes it he can have it back

Swell Entertainment put out a video telling people to do more solo travel and was like oh if you don’t have a lot of money you can still travel around your own town or take a day trip.

Girl, I can’t afford a car. You’re from California. You know firsthand how stuck you are if you don’t have a car.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I also learned from that video that for some reason there are people who don’t trust men that do solo travel.

So are we just inventing problems out of thin air now or what’s that about

[what-even-is-thiss]

If I had like any money at all I’d be traveling solo at every opportunity but instead I’m a 27 year old who needs to ask my dad to drive me to Walmart.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

yeah the 2020s have been difficult but at least we have the consolation that a single season of modern tv now takes 5 years to make and lasts about 16 seconds

the way teenagers are treated these days is wild. when i was a teenager we were all watching porn, jerking off, and going to horror movies with 3000 gallons of blood. Nowadays they make kids get a permission slip to watch anything darker than Barney the Dinosaur. Insane.

[transhuman-priestess]

Every year we infantilize teenagers more and more and act surprised when they grow up to be terrified, angry, emotionally stunted adults.

[genderkoolaid]

& then for some reason people fixate more on "ugh these teenagers just want to be treated like babies!!! teenagers are to blame for the rise in puritanism!!!!!" than how this is a very obvious example of ageism and the increased control over a socially vulnerable and exploited group

[absolxguardian]

I think a commonly overlooked part of this coddling is that it teaches kids and teenagers to be afraid of things they don't need to be afraid of, which is exactly how they end up as "puriteens". I remember as a child being terrified to change the channel on the tv because I had ended up with the impression that seeing even seconds of an R rated movie or tv show would give me nightmares. And then as a tween every time I saw swearing I felt sick to my stomach because I had been taught such a thing is bad and harmful. I think I would have suffered less if I hadn't been raised with everyone around me acting like mature media was so bad. By the time I was a teenager I had figured out this was bunk, but understandably a lot of people don't. By making this whole system worse and stronger you have teens who have been told that seeing explicit or dark media Will Harm Them, and so they act in ways that would be appropriate if it really was the info-hazard it's implied to be.

[headspace-hotel]

^^ never heard anybody specifically talk about this but yeah. parents acting like sexual or any "dark" content in a story or show was going to put bad things in my head that were going to be there permanently just gave me a deeply distressing sort of contamination anxiety

mythbusters is really good at being extremely timeless but occasionally kari wears something that violently reminds me that this show was filmed in the 2000’s.

[takethistoyourstardust]

another classic “this was filmed in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s” look from her. i wanna make a collection. also she’s wearing this particular outfit to a radiation facility and is about 2 feet from the line you cannot cross or else you risk exposure to radiation.
