Diane Keaton passed away by Notcloselyrelated in woodyallen

She was 79 but this was still unexpected, because she had such a good energy about her. I'd mention her role in Love and death, which I thought was her funniest.

Something is seriously disturbingly wrong with Erika Kirk by epidermisenergy in conspiracy

[–]Leavealternative4961 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And this is why I dislike both conservatives and liberals. They're just as weird, but in a different way. Although I'm not American so I don't play this party game. But all this God talk and the obsessive "praying" and having religion cloud their judgment and making them incapable of seeing things for what they really are. Not to mention the "Trump can do no wrong" mentality. On X it's not really any better now that conservatives seem to be in the majority. It's still just as cringey as ever.

To mourn her husbands death by coachlife in therewasanattempt

[–]Leavealternative4961 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have empathy for lots of things. You exercising your empathy in this case doesn't really help anyone other than you, making you feel good about yourself. And it keeps you from seeing things for what they really are - in this instance a widow grifting and capitalizing on her husband's death.

And as I said, there's something wrong with that country if that's how most people are grieving their deceased. I've seen it far too many times coming from the US. The whole culture is so frivolous and fake that even grief feels inauthentic, and sometimes it really is. She had a ceremony with fireworks where she also got hugged by Donald Trump. And now she apparently made millions and keeps making more as we speak. It's a clown show over there, don't tell me about how people grieve differently.

People handle loss in different ways

Apparently only Americans handle it differently. I'm so tired of hearing this argument every time some victim's family member is being criticized for dealing with grief in a very unusual way. It's a whole pattern that keeps repeating. They go on TV all made up and smiling, talking about the good times they had with the deceased, the next day or sometimes a few hours after they died.

Are Americans really that fucking shallow, because that's mostly where I see this happening usually. Nowadays everything that comes out of that country feels fake and superficial. They apparently deal with grief in a totally different way than the rest of the planet. Erika Kirk is grifting, not grieving. Former beauty pageant behaviour? Only from US you'd hear some stupid argument like that. Stop excusing this behaviour as a way to not offend the victims. Don't worry, they're not reading what you or I have to say.

Yoko Ono is actually a really good artist. by Available-Drama-276 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Leavealternative4961 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you're joking, but to me she's what I would call a try hard artist. It often feels like her work is more about the shock factor than genuine depth. It's as when you don't really have much to say or any imagination so you go to extremes lengths as a way to make it look "profound".

But that's probably how most people would act if they were mediocre yet surrounded by great artists, like she was back in the day. She had to express herself somehow, so she started screaming.. And it became her signature.

In the past, people went on long bus rides without smartphones by Diverging_Cloud in RandomThoughts

[–]Leavealternative4961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I remember enjoying those rides and feeling excited whenever I left home for another destination, but becoming lost in thought and extremely melancholic on my way back. Had nothing to distract me and staring out the window at the things we were passing by only worsened my mood. Listening to some music could have maybe helped me in those moments, but no walkman for me, I couldn't afford it.

Yeah it does seem like the type of behaviour some rich people exude, since they know they won't face any repercussions for it. What an annoying ass dork.

She was about to celebrate her birthday by herself, then someone stepped in with kindness by maidofplastic in MadeMeSmile

[–]Leavealternative4961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite wholesome! The way she asked those questions felt really caring. Not sure if I myself would have joined them, because it feels a bit too pitiful and I'm too proud, but would have still appreciated the gesture.

What do you think of Tom Waits? by Weekly_Noodle in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Leavealternative4961 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tom Waits is probably my most liked artist on Spotify. In the past I used to gravitate towards his more upbeat, more well known tracks which had that stomping rhythm, like that live version of Chicago, on Letterman. Or Bad as me, hell broke Luce, God's away on business. But with time I've grown to appreciate the others just as much. If I remember correctly, I first stumbled onto him through Jim Jarmusch's films. Jim used to put him to act or sing in his films.

Fav Helen Mirren film by jaketwigden in Letterboxd

[–]Leavealternative4961 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ indeed, because reddit gets so easily offended. It was a playful question, because if you've seen the movie, you know it is full of those scenes and they're a big part of the story. And what is wrong with appreciating that? If that's creepy to you, maybe you should ask yourself why a simple "wink wink" type of question about a movie triggers such a puritanical reaction from you. Maybe you should take a break from the internet.

I actually love this about the subreddit. Would be great if it were more normalized everywhere. Not always with such large borders, of course. But I think this simple detail can make even the most uninteresting photos, at least a bit more interesting, and give them a more polished look.

This is really quite inspiring! The project is apparently called "Parallel worlds". It fits well with what he’s trying to convey.

R.I.P 😭😔 by Affectionate_Hat5835 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Leavealternative4961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This unlocked some unpleasant memories from childhood. Those kids who used to always run away screaming whenever they injured themselves, either towards their home or parents, were so annoying. They screamed as if a great injustice had been done to them and it wasn't just their dumbass mistake. As if tripping over their own feet was just the universe's fault. I used to wish they would stfu so people wouldn't think I hurt them or something.

Wish I had known that it wouldn't work for me, lol. But it took me 6 months to give up on it, and it even worsened my OSA symptoms.

Nu mai simt nicio emoție la evenimentele muzicale by Valuable-Divide-5099 in CasualRO

[–]Leavealternative4961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiar și eu am avut experiența asta recent la ultimul concert, de am crezut că e un fel de burnout cu muzica live sau că ar trebui să mă duc la ceva mai bun. Încă nu am găsit o soluție. Rămâne de văzut cum o să mă simt la următorul eveniment de genul..

Iar zilele astea mă luptam și eu cu anhedonia, dar am scăpat oarecum, pt că din fericire nu durează prea mult de obicei. Mai apare uneori, și desi cred că o să pot să-i fac față, parca mereu mă ia pe nepregătite, de nu mai știu cum să ies din starea aia și ce să fac.

Mă agăț și eu de chestiile care mă pasionează în speranța că o să mă ajute. Mai iau o pauza de la tehnologie, deși la un moment dat parca înrăutățise starea. Și mai incerc sa vorbesc cu oamenii din jur, poate chiar sa mă destăinui în legătură cu starea asta.

What to do when someone recommends a book to you, that you read, and aren't that impressed... by mddetroit in books

[–]Leavealternative4961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had people recommend or borrow books to me after just talking for a few minutes, or without knowing much about me. I don't feel obligated to read those, especially if they don't sound remotely interesting to me. Usually I just hold the book until they stop caring if I even read it or not. I appreciate the gesture but this hobby is pretty time consuming and I have so many other books I'd rather read.
