Millenials are a 'sandwich generation' btw taking care of the 'Gen X'ers' and 'Boomers' who were heavily influenced by the '1st 1/2 of the 20th c. cohorts'^1 (more than they would like to admit--I heard how Boomer and Gen X Germans had difficulties relating to their parents b/c of the complacency in the infamy of the 1930's, which in turn got a lot of it's momentum from prejudices which got 'dangerously bubbly' by the mid 1800s onwards --Otto Bismarck's nationalism apparently needed to unify and shlock like social Darwinism) and 'the Zoomers' who they 'want to relate to' despite steady changes in the relatability of the 'bells and whistles' (consumer tech and media) which hold the attention spans of those more developmentally disimilar and vulnerable..

Not to mention the offspring of 'the millenials who made it' even w/auto and living space ownership struggles.


* who were really more like a '19th c. part III' group so much than most would prefer to admit not only if you factor in how different tech exposure and literacy demographics let different attitudes thrive and what that meant when it comes to say outcomes of 'Flynn effect' graphs but

@Modal0154

I realize now how mentioning cryto- activity is also mentioning finance activity and best not mentioned but the spread is fine and the carrots aren't too bad.

I like the juice more than the (*raw*) vegetable which is dry and oh so tedious to chew and eat through.

.. and then there is the puzzlement as to whether this makes sense to me in a relevant way :/ .. not only because I would majorly not be wanting to buy a new computer etc al anytime soon..https://www-computerworld-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.computerworld.com/article/3624741/say-goodbye-to-all-that-microsoft-ends-windows-as-a-service.amp.html?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQIKAGwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16262398824371&csi=1&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.computerworld.com%2Farticle%2F3624741%2Fsay-goodbye-to-all-that-microsoft-ends-windows-as-a-service.html

I feel apologetic for the 'hard time' I gave a certain person who was friendly enough to walk home w/me for most o'the way their at the first high school I went to. He was one of the few I was fond of and I hassled him a 'misguided energy' which emerged from the ~'double bind' of sorts of not understanding and an environment w/a majorly discouraging laco of respect.

Modal0154 OP July 15th, 2021

*Sigh* while I feel kind of conflicted about it now, than say when I used to watch him ~+7 yrs ago, when it comes to something Doug Walker said once but there is something I still agree w/him w/ and it's how cringy and/or personally inflammatory the way a movie can handle bullying depictions can be..when he actually did a 'worst movies top 10'^1..his rxn to 'The garbage pail kids' got to me when it came his antipathy about the movie and not only the stuff about ugliness (aesthetic and beyond) in a production of a movie based on a 'Cabbage patch kids' parody.

Basically, yes I would say that the way bullying can be depicted in hokier movies can be unwittingly, unbeneficial a/o hurtful in how the issue of bullying is demonstrated/handled too lightly or ham-fistedly.

The 2k11 documentary 'Bully' was rated R even though I'm sure what was brought up in it is stuff which a fair amount of us who went through the 'labour investment process centres'/schools in English-speaking nations were exposed to seeing even if it wasn't lurid and R-rated in a Martin Scorsese sort of way ( =_= although the dialogue coming from the the post-prepubescents might've been like that)

^1 I think this was before the ~'soft reboot' when Tamara and Malcolm came on staff and he became more flexible w/covering much more contemporary movies

Mom's watching 'My spy' --I don't mind Bautista too much as an actor and actually prefer him to Johnson 'acting-wise' --hope it doesn't s--k that way..when the overlap btw non-entertainment industry participants like anyone who uses social media and in the entertainment industry professionally; something about the movie reminds me of 'The pacificier' w/Diesel..and 'The spy next door' w/Jackie Chan.

Bautista and live-action Louise Belcher weren't too bad

Watching a video which mentions the nature of memes and how Richard Dawkins original definition 'is weak' and it's better to think out as defined in terms of Jungian symbolism.

`_` that this pops up..

"

  • Memetics – approach to evolutionary models of cultural information transfer based on the concept that units of information, or "memes", have an independent existence, are self-replicating, and are subject to selective evolution through environmental forces. Starting from a proposition put forward in the writings of Richard Dawkins, it has since turned into a new area of study, one that looks at the self-replicating units of culture. It has been proposed that just as memes are analogous to genes, memetics is analogous to genetics. Memetics has been deemed a pseudoscience on several fronts.[409] Its proponents' assertions have been labeled "untested, unsupported or incorrect".[409] Supporters of memetics include EO Wilson, Douglas Hofstadter and many others.

agathist
n.
1816, from Greek agathos "good" (see Agatha ) + -ist.

Doctor Kearney, who formerly, with so much reputation, delivered lectures in this place on the history of Rome, observed to me once, that he was not an optimist, but an "agathist"; that he believed that every thing tended to good, but did not think himself competent to determine what was absolutely the best. The distinction is important, and seems to be fatal to the system of Optimism. [George Miller, "Lectures on the Philosophy of Modern History," Dublin, 1816]"
