Nothing beats sitting on my own couch in my bathrobe with one kitty on my lap and another snuggled up to me at my side. Don’t have to go out of the house, snacks are cheap. You’d have to pay me money to go to a theater, and a hefty amount at that.
He doesn’t even have experience in coding either. He always pretends to but the only degree he has is in business or something.
Or he got assimilated by the Borg. No longer an individual lol
I maybe check facebook once every few months, and that’s only if someone sends me a link to an event. And it seems like almost everyone has left or is at least not active. A few years ago (well, maybe more than a few, time flies) I was pretty active and my feed would be full of my friends’ status updates. I would actually see what they were up to if I went on Facebook. Now only a handful of my Facebook friends are still active, and they’re all 35+ and have their own business or project of some kind that they want to share updates of. Not mlm since they’re all hippies; things like a community garden, handmade stuff, musicians, but still something to promote. It takes me 30 seconds to see everything. Most of my Facebook friends haven’t posted anything in years or months, just like me.
Hm, I love the Platform, watched it twice, but I really wouldn’t place it in the category of Cube or Squid Game. They aren’t playing a game. It’s much more similar to Snowpiercer.
I did xtc a few times and it profoundly changed the way I viewed myself and the world. I was very lonely and extremely depressed, and it helped me see that my intense self hate wasn’t based on anything and wasn’t justified. It also gave a huge boost to my empathy for other people, especially my cognitive empathy which I struggle with as an autistic person, and made it so I could actually open up to other people. The first time doing lsd it was like a nuclear bomb of empathy and understanding and perspective went off in my head. With both substances though, consequent trips were fun, but never as profound as the first (few) time(s), and I lost interest. I knew a bunch of people who did massive amounts of either or both every weekend. Can’t say I understand why, they must get something different out of it then me.
Then I discovered amphetamine and had a massive struggle with that for 8 years, lol. Different brains react very differently to the same substances.
I almost never go to the theater but I just checked and here in the Netherlands it’s €13,50 for 2D and €16,50 for imax. That’s crazy. The last time I went to see a movie in the theater was somewhere at the end of 2019, and it was like €10. That’s a 30% price increase in under 4 years, christ.
