I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

[quasi-normalcy]

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

[quasi-normalcy]

#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain

Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

psych is so funny. shawn pulls gus out of his day job, they walk into a crime scene uninvited, then shawn goes "hi jules! <3", pisses off lassie, looks at stuff for five minutes, touches things in an active crime scene with no gloves, says "bye jules! <3" pisses off lassie again, breaks into someone's home, lies to people, gives gus a stupid name, bothers his dad, lies to the police, solves the entire case, and gets paid, meanwhile gus hasn't been at work for three days because he's been making sure no one punches out shawn's lights

[ghostflorist]

Psych 2006 is a beautiful beautiful thing because I can get my fix of silly buddy cop procedural without the usual guilt of copoganda because the police in psych can’t get anything done right without their manic pixie dream psychic and his tap-dancing best friend

[is-that-sand-in-my-waffles]

There's "committing to the bit" and then there's whatever the fuck Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster were doing on television every week from 2006-2014

[starfish-spencer]

genuinely what did he mean by this:

Shawn and Jules: break up

Lassie, completely unprompted: HEY HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED DATING MEN IT WOULD BE PRETTY RAD JUST SAYING I THINK KISSING DUDES WOULD BE REALLY COOL NO PARTICULAR REASON THINK ABOUT IT

Shawn, a raging bisexual, who flirted with Lassie for four consecutive years:

Psych is such a weird show bc in a lot of ways it's constantly asking, "can you forgive your father? even tho he could never forgive you, can you forgive him?" and the thing he could never forgive you for was not meeting his exact very specific expectations. And the answer keeps being yes you can, because not doing so is worse. You tried and it hurt more. You tried and it made you more miserable. You forgive him because he's all you have most of the time, and its somehow less complicated than whatever you have going on with your mom. You can forgive him but you can't forget, and then one day he realizes that he was wrong and there was nothing he should have taken as a slight about you, but you both just never acknowledge this paradigm shift in your relationship bc it'd be more awkward then fighting again for the millionth time. So things get better but you never say why, you never acknowledge it unless forced and somehow you forgive him more than your mom who you were never even half as mad at.

But also it's about breaking and entering into sea world and making a janitor think you killed your best friend so you can escape, it's about gaslighting your coworkers into thinking you are the dumbest man alive, it's about only closing a mystery when it's as funnt as possible and making sure everyone else around you is as baffled as possible. It's about childhood and nostalgia and growing up in the most chaotic way you can. It's about people being killed with a t-rex skull, it's about slapstick and committing to the bit and being the silliest messiest bisexual on tv in 2006-2014.

It's about a son and his father and forgiveness and somehow also they are in a circus tent trying to find out why a corpse was launched from a cannon. And also there's an extended musical episode that makes it onto my personal Spotify year after year

I have a lot of feelings about Psych. A black male lead that doesn’t fall into stereotypes. A cop-adjacent show that doesn’t prop up the police as infallible or even necessarily good. A genuinely compelling m/f romance that wasn’t forced. Not textually queer but the undercurrent of queerness isn’t treated like a joke (mostly). A complicated father-son relationship that doesn’t paint either party as irredeemable. A cast of main characters that are clearly neurodivergent but are accepted with love. A comedy show that doesn’t shy away from serious emotions when it needs to.

I have a lot of feelings about Psych.

One of the benefits of watching psych (2006) is that in most shows with a weird protagonist you find yourself asking why are you like this but in psych you don't do that because you just saw. You just saw 10 minutes ago at the start of the episode when Henry was putting him in a trunk

[assiraphales]

the thing that anyone who shawn & gus date need to realize or the relationship will never work is that they will always come second to whatever it is that these two got going

[assiraphales]

so yah shawn mentioned gus three times (the one not pictured is shawn saying ‘the biggest mistake I ever made was leaving santa barbara w/o saying goodbye to gus’) during the proposal

[assiraphales]

shawn spencer’s proposal to juliet was so funny bc it was lowkey him just going ‘will you be our third?’ bc sure there’s no sex between him and gus but emotionally? that’s his primary partner
