  • I think it's getting about the level of attention as the person who started doing it hoped it would, which is about as much as possible. That attention is definitely going to run the gamut but it's the internet so plenty of it's going to be hate. Every time I see it I'm split between knee-jerk "that's stupid" and then a begrudging sense of affection for someone's commitment to pointless contrarianism and quirkiness. With the right mental framing it's at different times annoying and endearing.

  • I have seen payphones around... like, at all. I've seen the iconic bright pink lit up tops and wifi symbol so I can attest that they are indeed still around, but it's very uncommon to see them. There's not a whole lot left and to say they're "everywhere", I mean... I haven't been interstate for a while but, what part of Australia are you in that these are a common fixture for you?

  • I mean it kinda sounds like Dracula was a spring chicken at the time on this scale so it's sort of undermining the point.

  • I rather like the idea of having a word for "the conversation is over, I expect no response." In daily life lol. Feels boss.

  • Are you familiar with that thing where you eat popcorn and you get a tough little piece lodged way back in the depths of your mouth right by the base of your tongue?

    Jump

  • The back of the tongue one is annoying and sometimes chokes me while in the middle of talking, but much worse is when the husk is just the right shape so it wedges in at the interface between the back of a tooth and your gum. Shit is IMPOSSIBLE to get out you just have to wait until it feels like it. No amount of poking with your tongue will dislodge it, or even if you try to use your finger and the more you try, the more the sharp corners of the husk fragment stab at the gums which hurts. Feels incredibly satisfying when it spontaneously just comes out though.

  • I guess compared to the other examples at least she didn't try and persuade you it wasn't an animal, just a bit crap at embracing a child's natural enthusiasm and kind of immediately killing their sense of enquiry by making it in to an experience of being judged.

  • Was that Douglas Adams? I remember Richard Dawkins using that as an example. I always thought it was a really good analogy.

  • I mean they could be pretty happy, even joyful I suppose. The ideology is rooted in hatred but I do get the impression it's rather a lot of fun for a good portion of these guys right up until they're met with the leopard's teeth.

  • Do you ever think you're smiling for a photo, but then when you see it you look like you have a neutral or even frowning expression? Why does this happen?

    Jump

  • I reckon it's probably to do with internally trying to downregulate the smile so it doesn't look really weird or crazy or fake or stupid and you just overcompensate. You don't know what you look like while you're doing it and that information void gives rise to some self consciousness and pre-emptive embarrassment. Natural smiles don't require you to think about how to do it at all so most people don't really know how to smile in a socially acceptable way on demand with a few seconds notice. Some people are better at it than others, maybe they have a better intuition, maybe they have a better awareness of what muscle movements correspond to what changes on their face and also a really good grasp of which tiny subtleties lead to a photogenic smile or the grimace of a maniacal murderer. Actors are probably pretty good at it either through intuition or just a lot of practice. I should imagine you could train yourself to be better at it, but it'd feel weird and vain to spend your time doing that so a lot of us just make weirdly flat or stern faces in photos.

    If you can actually just enjoy the moment so it makes you smile as a result it'd probably get better results but that idea leads to its whole own self reflexive internal monologue trying to concentrate and force yourself to be happy that probably results in a frown while you summon that concentration.

  • MAGA supporter feeling gaslit

    Jump

  • Well they believed in the rationale and prescription for what he claimed to achieve so there's a lot of scope there to forgive failure to meet targets because as they see it, there's a mountain of opposition and sabotage standing in the way of making America great again so if what he said we was going to do didn't happen and if the way he said he'd do it didn't work it's not really a challenge to either what Trump claims should be done nor how he should do it, it only highlights to supporters how difficult that task is and how strong their support needs to be.

    This kind of thing, one of the duped expressing regret - I think is probably one of the most effective ways of bursting the MAGA bubble and letting at least a tiny bit or reality set in. It doesn't challenge the things the supporters think are wrong with their country nor directly challenge the methods for remedying it, but it would introduce that little kernel of doubt for at least a few people without coming from "libtards" or in some way seeming to criticise the beliefs that led them to their current situation. She'd be dismissed of course; a paid shill no doubt, or a crisis actor or just a traitorous member of the flock who didn't have the faith or conviction necessary, but if this kind of thing shows up a lot and gets loud enough it might stand more of a chance than any critique of MAGA or Trump if there ever was really any hope of such processes having meaningful impact.

    That said, even if that worked, it'd do little to address systemic issues that gave rise to MAGA and in any case if the MAGA cultists take this gentle out without need to re-evaluate the thinking that got them there then really it'd just end up being that Trump was only bad for failing to do what he promised not because what he promised was reprehensible and how he planned to do it absurd and illogical so they'll be prime for the picking for the next Trump hydra head to take his place.
