An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.
But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.
You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your “lived experience,” that which you “feel it in my heart.” But that doesn’t mean it’s actually true. And it doesn’t mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.
I freaking hate LED headlights. I should not be BLINDED by the fucking SUN at nighttime and then end up into the opposite fucking lane because douchebag Mc shit nozzle needs to be the biggest and brightest Ford Super Sucker 2045 Big Boy Truck at the Bald White Man Sunglasses Ball
my main requirement in a partner is someone who’s willing to “yes, and” me. if i say something completely insane i need them to just pick that up and run with it and commit to the bit until we wind up with a conversation that’s funny to us but completely incoherent to everyone within earshot. actually now that i’m typing this out i’ve realised my ideal relationship might just be “shitty improv comedy duo”
@ every parent in the world: yes your kid is special because every child is special but they are not specialer than every other child so please be normal about them
Some parents have done what I can only describe as fandomize their child where they’ve taken the child and altered it in their mind to make a cooler version that fits their specific interests, and now sometimes I have to remind them of the canon material.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a youth theater director and teacher. Every audition season is a personal ordeal.
This is really sad, but it’s at least kind of encouraging that he’s still trying
Absolutely. The spirit of learning should be nurtured at any age. Read on, info warrior!
Hey, this is exactly how you expand your vocabulary - stumbling across new words, looking them up, and then remembering that. And they’re still having fun reading the book, so they’re probably going to remember the words they pick up. This is good!
I see y'all in the notes making fun of this, don’t fucking shame people for learning stuff late. It’s not like this guy can go back in time and do more reading as a kid/teenager, do you want people to learn new things, or do you expect everyone to just wallow in ignorance if they weren’t lucky enough to be taught things as a kid/teenager? And they don’t need an easier book either, if they’re engaged with this one and understanding it, they’re fine.
the autism mood of never knowing when its “your turn” in a convo so you say the first word of your sentence about 5 times before you actually get to speak
The Gollum game is such an incredible throwback. Back in the PS2 era that type of buggy movie tie-in game was a dime a dozen & no one would’ve even noticed but by virtue of coming out in 2023, the last of its breed, it’s a king, beheld with quiet horror by all. It crashes every five minutes even on the best hardware and when apologizing for its instability the devs misspelled their own game’s name
“It looks like a PS2 game” is usually an inane insult and I guess it is if used for graphics here but in every other way? Yes, it’s exactly like something that went right into the budget racks in 2004. It captures the weird frenzy of LotR releases during the trilogy so perfectly, it’s like those ones that had the book license but not the movie one or one of the weirder spin-offs EA jammed out to exploit the license
