  • I’ve seen their libraries… they wanna serve me garbage and want me to pay for it? Pure insanity. Idk how so many people watch this goyslop without feeling disgusted with themselves, without thinking that their intelligence is being insulted 1. because they’re watching garbage, 2. because the executives thought we were dumb enough to enjoy it and they were sadly right, and I don’t know how they willingly give their money to these companies when a 5 minute search can give you access to everything, but whatever.

    This, and ads, are things I haven’t been burdened with since my teenage years, and I don’t understand how people don’t feel some sort of moral disgust/personally insulted by participating in it. Maybe I’m too sensitive. 🤷‍♂️










  • Wonder if it’s somewhat emotional, like reminiscing the “good ol’ days”, or if it’s just truly an acquired taste. Idk, I probably partied and drank more than 95% of “programmer socks” and “ugh I hate people” lemmings but now even a glass of prosecco is not tasty at all, lol. I could just have juice, and for a fraction of the price!




  • Many things are dull/meh to garbage and loved by people because of marketing and poor taste (and you know it, you know it’s slop for human cattle while they don’t, and the fact that people willingly engage with it is depressing and makes you feel alone), many things are actually good/great and become somewhat popular also. You shouldn’t have a problem with the latter case by itself, although as we all know that might mean sequels, prequels, spinoffs and “creative resets” and eventually some australopithecus will come around and say something like “hey, did you watch Dune: Prophecy/The Rings of Power, it’s so fucking good, bro!”, lol, which is annoying/painful.

    I try to just be happy for them the same way my wife is happy for me when she sees me enjoy a greasy, cheap, industrial meal. The difference is my taste buds and intelligence are disconnected so I can realise I’m enjoying the slop… it’s not the same with media for obvious reasons.
