What do you like about genocide?

Specifically

Is this unnecessarily convoluted or am I just lazy?

Yea, and now there’s the swingback glorification of selling out.

Financial success in and of itself shouldn’t be shameful or exalted, I wonder if there’s a movie showcasing that exaltation of personal commercial success the way reality bites showcased the shame.

I can’t think of one that nailed it the same way.

Reality bites(1994) portrayed the paradox of the newfound “horror” of selling out in the 90s by achieving goals you set our for yourself.

That nailed a specific part of american culture for most working people in the country.

Waiting is also weirdly accurate because on the production side you need actors to focus on portraying a particular personality trait to define the entire character, but that applies in real life to restaurant dynamics, one salient personality trait sort of defines who each person is, like it makes it easier to work in a group if you know that that guy is the stoner or that guy is the cool dude or that girl is the bossy one.

Kids(1995) got suburban entropy pretty solidly. Gummo is kind of in that category too, although I can’t confirm because I never lived in the boonies.

Exactly my thoughts

Haha, awesome, that rocks!

Haha, nice, that sounds pretty good.

Hahaha! Oh man yea that’s good

Definitely. If they say something non-specific like " that sounds great" or " I wish I could do that", I don’t pursue the topic at all.

It’s more after we have a conversation including “Do you think I could do that too? How? Can you help me do it?” And I have to provide specific answers or show them and then receive the brunt of their ire or dismissal.

It is so satisfying when I do help someone achieve their goals, though, that if I am asked specific questions I usually help, even if nine out of 10 people will balk at the opportunity once they can see it in front of them.

Ha, yeah that’s a vibe. Can’t hate it.

Oooh solid. Nice

Do you have a favorite so far?

Very cool, thanks

Did somebody tell you my experience is other people’s experience?

And I got to ask, what is tiring about doing whatever you want or or don’t want to?

The preconceived notion that travelling is tiring.

Why do you think my lifestyle is good for everyone?

I did find this huge secret, and people don’t like knowing how easily they can/could have achieved their goals.

They go on the attack as soon as they realize they’ve been wasting time.

Hahah, Those are both good, but I think the Kung Fu Fighting one is more my style.

“Surely not everybody…”

Oh that is goooood

Fun

It isn’t that you stop working, it’s that you stop working on things you don’t want to work on.

You work only on things you want to work on.

Traveling is all about peace and quiet for me, but I hear similar preconceived anxieties pretty often.

Maybe 5 days ago or something, a friend called me up, said they wish they could travel, and asked me to walk them through it again.

I told them how to get a visa (One page online application form, five minutes tops), and they said traveling just sounds so tiring and they can’t do it right now.

Tiring?

Hang out, do whatever you want or relax, go eat sometimes.

Not an exhausting lifestyle, but a lot of my friends with day jobs imagine that their lunch breaks are more recuperative than having a lunch break all day.

Bonkers.
