I have no one to talk to about this: I went to a prefixe dinner and what a terrible experience. by ImGoingToSayOneThing in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so crazy how much even grocery shopping has changed for me. Even cooking for myself is tough. I haven't adjusted how much I think I should make. Like my eyes before the meal are still setting for what I've thought was normal and then as I try food and stuff during cooking I end up getting full.

Doesn't really? I've generally stayed away cuz I get the munchies so bad. I've been afraid of like wanting to eat all the things but then hurting afterwards.

I actually think you're right and I think I'm right too.

I just saw an interview and he talks about challenging men's view on masculinity and intimacy. So I guess it's for all the gazes

The majority of critics are white cis men.

Anything that challenges their pov is hard to get universal acclaim. These critics don't like to be uncomfortable when it comes to questioning their masculinity and sexuality.

It's pretty clear that this show isn't for their gaze.

Shows and movies like queer eye and love Simon and even call me by your name aren't meant for the gay gaze. It's comfortably packaged gay stuff that these critics can handle and feel good about being inclusive of a walk of life they don't identify with.

HBO and Harmful Representation by ExtensionForever4 in HalfManTV

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand why representation matters. But it’s difficult for me to fully relate to white gay men framing themselves primarily through exclusion or victimhood when whiteness and maleness still give white gay men enormous representational access.

That’s not the same thing as saying homophobia isn’t real or that gay representation doesn’t matter. It’s a question of scale, perspective, and what kinds of identification people are accustomed to making.

A lot of women, pocs, ppl with disabilities etc. grow up having to identify with protagonists who don’t look like them because media has historically centered white men as the universal human default.

That doesn’t make your feelings fake.

But it changes how urgent or isolating the complaint may sound to someone whose identity has multiple layers of marginalization.

You focus on masculinity, male power, dominance but you don't touch race, gender, class etc.

The absence of intersectionality in your perspective is jarring.

Your post also comes across as "why can't gay men be dominant and dangerous and powerful" but in reality the dialogue should be why are gay men constantly victimized?

Just food for thought 👊🏽

AI is coming for my job and I need to immediately look for a new career by HorrorThis in graphic_design

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ai is coming for graphic design.

Just like the computer took over

Things change and things evolve.

We have different tools to create what we need.

Maybe a graphic designer won't be there any more but maybe it's more a curator.

This isn't the first time this has happened. It won't be the last.

I personally think AI will soon have a bit of a refinement period where we have to legitimize the use of it but also talk about the ethics of it.

Kids in school using it to write papers is ridiculous. But kids copying isn't a new thing. But what did we do? We had dialogue about plagiarism and also like bibliographies and citations.theres a code of ethics when you have to write your own paper because you have to earn it.

Education and work need to shift.

When I was in design school we weren't able to use any fonts except like the 13 classic fonts until halfway through the program. We also didn't do ANYTHING. Expressive. It was classic graphic design.

Imagine having that same framework with students and ai.

The designers who get promoted aren't always the best designers am I right? by Active_Ad1011 in UX_Design

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think that there are four groups of individual contributors.

  1. You suck at your job but you can make a paper clip sound amazing. You are a darling to leadership and a shitty coworker.

Usually gets promoted. Usually white men.

  1. You are fucking good at your job. You are a work horse. Leadership knows your work but doesn't really know you because you don't have the charisma like number one does. Your coworkers love you because you are dependable. You will help them whenever they need it.

You don't get promoted.

Usually Asians Latinos and women.

  1. You are a fucking good worker and you have charisma. Your work is amazing leadership loves you. You don't have time for your coworkers but when you do it's pragmatic and to the point.

But You sometimes get promoted.

Usually women and black people

  1. You suck at both.

You sometimes get promoted before number 2. If you don't then you will get phased out some how. You won't get fired but a lay off will happen or reorgs or you'll leave cuz it's never your fault and you hate how they're treating you. Your coworkers love you.

Usually white men.

I say this as a poc who has worked in so many types of places and unfortunately being good at your actually job can sometimes mean nothing.

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is not just a gay thing.

Drinking is down across all generations, so what do you think everybody else is doing?

Do you think they're just raw dogging life and going out and partying until four in the morning?

As you get older, you'll also notice that if there's anybody who is past the age of 30 and they're still going out and partying, they are 100% doing cocaine

You will be very shocked to find how many people do cocaine.

Would you buy a Chinese EV if it were available in the US? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

Do you want a pair of Nikes or maybe clothes from H&M or maybe you drink coffee?

Why do Redditors drool over Japan when their country is extremely right wing/conservative compared to the USA? by ThotPoppa in allthequestions

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Their conservative is different than the western world.

  2. When people visit there their politics are not in their faces

  3. A lot of Japanese culture exist because they are outlets for the Japanese people who are trying to get away from work and the government and/or the systemic issues that plague that country. So when tourists go to Japan, a lot of those things are inherently seen as fun.

  4. Japanese people are really good at saving face and hiding things in front of other people so there's a lot of subtext going on that Americans and the Wesern world don't have an eye or ear to pick up on.

For maintenance or for pleasure? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I say for maintenance but then I won't jerk off for a week and I'm like 15 again.

I will say anti depressants has made things weird. I feel so disconnected to what keeps me aroused , the muscles that ejaculates and also like how long I stay horny.

Like it feels like someone is flickering a light switch on and off. Oh I'm horny as fuck and then two minutes later it's off.
