  • Also from Minnesota here. For stereotypes, do you love the state fair? Are you friendly to strangers but don't exchange contact info? Do you still have friends from elementary school?

  • [AMERICAS] Who is your favourite author from the Americas?

    Jump

  • I agree with another comment about separating Anglo authors from others. My favorite Anglo author is Cormac McCarthy. I feel self-conscious as he's a white man who writes manly stories about white men, but his style is hypnotic to read. He uses obscure words that I've never heard before, but somehow I know what they mean because it flows so well.

    Do you think the trans-movement is starting to fizzle out?

  • What are you talking about?

  • Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

    Jump

  • He was involved in a hazing incident in college. IIRC he [allegedly] used a coat hook to drag someone across the room by his asshole.

    Edit: aside from the hazing, Jon Hamm is my answer. He plays the same arrogant douche in everything he's in, so I get the impression it's not just a character. Similar to comedians whose whole schtick is being a dirtbag, then they turn out to be a dirtbag.

  • I hated him for this for a long time. He has since met with the victim, and the victim publicly said he forgave Wahlberg and wants him to have a second chance. To me, that's restorative justice and I don't think it's my job to push for further consequences.

    Jon Hamm on the other hand...

  • Roku launches Howdy, a $2.99 ad-free streaming service

    Jump

  • Ha, I was doing a similar calculation recently. I think the only subscription I ever paid for was Netflix, and for the others I used family and friends' accounts. Only replacing Netflix, I haven't broken even, but considering I pirate content from 5-6 different services, it's absolutely cheaper.

  • How did you survive living in a college dorm with another person? What did you bring with yourself?

  • The solution to social phobia isn't to design your life around avoiding people. It's fine if you prefer to spend time alone, but it's important to be able to tolerate even the experiences you dislike the most. I might feel great suffering when I have to do math, but it's important that I'm able to do some basic calculations when I have to.

    It sounds like your aversion to being around people is causing some serious disruptions in important parts of your life, like eating meals. I promise that continuing to avoid people will not make the problem go away. I'm a big advocate for therapy. It might sound impossible to you since it involves talking to someone for extended periods of time, but therapists are there to listen without judgement, and to help you have an easier time in life.

  • Is it common for hetero women to enjoy taking charge during intimacy and switch between who's leading? (I was raised in a traditional family so I'm dumb)

    Jump

  • I'll go out on a limb and say that working out your sexual needs, communication, abilities, expectations, etc. is an uncomfortable process for everyone. No amount of preemptive mental work can substitute for the actual experience of having sex and figuring it out that way. It's a bumpy road, but if you're doing your best to be respectful and embrace the process, you WILL figure it out.

  • Why do people always respond to depressed people, by recommending visiting a therapist or going to gym?

    Jump

  • Therapist here. The concept of a "real depressed person" is brought to you by insurance companies (so they can deny coverage), the APA (so they can sell the DSM) and big pharma (so they can sell you drugs). The criteria are arbitrary and often discourage people from seeking help when they don't think their suffering is "real enough." Most therapists I know hate the diagnostic process, but we're forced to do it so your insurance will pay for treatment.

    Anyone who's feeling depression that disrupts their lives is welcome to see a psychiatrist, or a therapist, or both. Both types of providers are here to help, and we'll refer you to any additional providers if it's appropriate.

    Edit: for a deeper dive into the over-pathologizing of human experiences, I recommend Allen Frances' Saving Normal and Ethan Watters' Crazy Like Us. The latter has a chapter on GlaxoSmithKline's crusade to change Japan's cultural understanding of depression from a natural response to external events, to a pervasive disease that needs treatment (like Paxil!)

    Rushkoff: Well, ideally you'd be nice to everyone.

  • But what's their long-term plan, really? They don't realize how utterly dependent they are on other people, and when shit hits the fan, other people aren't going to feel so motivated to defend them. There's a great video of Douglas Rushkoff talking about a billionaires convention he attended. They really think they're going to chill in their bunkers and eat gourmet food indefinitely.

  • But techbro 10 years ago was an undercut and a leather jacket. I'm hoping there's a label for this iteration.
