option B) there are more Tyrannosaurus rex on the internet than you might think

It was silly then, and it’s silly now, but it doesn’t seem as disastrous as the way some shows have tried to incorporate memes.

But at the same time, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that people these days don’t understand references unless someone on TikTok or whatever makes a Top 15 Cool References in Show video.

I dunno where I’m going with this, other than we’re losing that sense of shared culture and that makes it feel like people are getting stupider when there’s a real problem with access and education that creates a self-reinforcing loop where referencing the cultural gestalt isn’t rewarded because people aren’t aware of what’s being referenced.

Hobbies should be something you enjoy. They can be casual or be full-blown passions. They should bring things like joy and whimsy. You should be able to enjoy them alone if no one else is around. You don’t have to post about how you’re rollerskating 24/7, a lot of things don’t need to be posted or capitalized on. It makes me think that you don’t love yourselves enough to enjoy things on your own. Someone always has to be watching. Ya’ll are wasting your lives away performing for the validation of people who couldn’t give less of a shit and it is SAD

Hobbies don’t need to be attractive or become this productivity contest bitch !
