unpinning this tweet bc it worked
I'm realizing people have very different priors wrt how likely someone is to be cognitively strange, vs cognitively high-performing
like I find it much more plausible that Elizabeth Holmes has weird and non-intuitive motivations and reasoning, than that her motivations are predictable but she's just astoundingly good at lying and manipulating
people with the "Anti-Elon Tesla Club" stickers on their Teslas seem kind of memecucked if you ask me
I am surprised that I haven't seen any "do Billy and Liz genuinely love each other though?" discourse
a thing I wonder about this, ignoring the childcare aspect
what would be the etiquette asking for a non-weekend trip (say Tuesday to Thursday), where your friends are expected to request 3 vacation days off work?
what's a comparable imposition that doesn't have to do with kids?
My friend wants to plan a couples, no-kids weekend getaway, splitting the cost of a large AirBNB, in January for her 30th birthday. I really do not love this idea (husband is mortified), neither to spend the money nor to get someone to take the toddler for 3 days. It would be a 2.5 hour drive away for us, too, so it’s not like we’re close if something happens. I haven’t been away from him for even 1 night yet and he still just seems so young! It would be very hard to leave him for that long.
Am I just a party pooper who needs to get over it? Genuine question. Like I actually need advice here guys
solution: write down meals you like on index cards, shuffle through them when you aren't sure what to make
ignoring whether you "should" have this problem, there are ways to solve it!
I've been focused on work projects the last several weeks but I think I'll pause for a little general apocalypse prepping
nice thing about my day: today I was in the kitchen and someone walked up from behind and hugged me, and for a moment it could have been any of three people
was wondering to my husband earlier why people like Nathan Fielder's comedy so much when they really dislike those same behaviors in real life
his explanation is that ppl like it only when they are "in on the bit", and that feeling "brought in" is also why they like YCSE so much
@occamsriver did you ever see this one? It's very interesting relationally and I'd be super curious to hear your impressions
Amanda Seyfried interprets everything in terms of archetypes and stories and then acts out giant emotions corresponding to those. So she plays "The Normie" to Nathan Fielder's "The Autist", who struggles to assemble incongruent textual and facial information into a coherent story
which is why I think it is difficult for me to pinpoint why people like this movie as much as they do; almost everything is like this basically all the time
