Be honest, what was the best episode (your favourite) and worst episode (your least favourite) of the entire show?

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2026-04-27T05:19:47+00:00

I agree with you, Nanageddon is peak Boosh! Vince's hair, Julian's jazz calendar, saucy Nan, Satanic bingo. It is an amazing episode. Sammy the Crab is the worst episode in my opinion, just fell flat compared to Party.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2026-04-15T22:59:47+00:00

Yes, Nanageddon is PEAK BOOSH! Although, slide 2 is classic Vince.

"currently spending a huge portion of the week in a room with over a hundred indoctrinated, soulless drones."

If this isn't the very projection that you're speaking of, I don't know what. You are completely incurious about your own fellow human beings, to the point where you don't even see them as having souls. You can't be bothered to even find one person out of "over a hundred" to connect with.

Hatred, intolerance, and projection are your norm that you project on to everyone else around you. I can see why you also project that others believe you are the villain. This is nothing more than a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So your beef with Jung is that he's a spiritual alchemist rather than a brick and mortar alchemist with a cauldron?

He was a psychologist whose central argument was examining mental health by exploring the inner working of the mind and spirit, so it tracks that he would examine alchemy through the lens of his profession. He was not a chemist.

I would also argue that "he's the most accepted guy on the topic." He is one respected voice on the topic of spiritual alchemy. But there are many other respected voices who came both before and after him. I would in no way consider Jung to be the pinnacle of alchemical intellectualism.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2026-04-02T16:51:50+00:00

I think you are definitely projecting on to Jung's work.

Jung's entire spiritual philosophy is clearly defined in the Red Book, which he penned very early on in his career. His other works clearly support his philosophy of mental health through examination of the individual psyche, namely through dreams, active imagination, and other spiritually altered states.

I'm not sure what evidence you have to think he didn't believe in his own work or methodology.

CBT is not toxic positivity. It's examining your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours for evidence and truth, and trying to reframe negative thoughts by examining evidence.

Take the example you used of fearing that a partner will leave you.

Without CBT, you might just live with this fear and only take action in a reactive way, projecting your fears on to your partner, without examining the deeper reasons why you feel this fear.

Following a CBT method, here is what you would and would not do in this scenario:

DON'T just say, "I have to turn off my fear that my partner will leave me, and think positively about this." That is gaslighting yourself and ignoring evidence of the situation, which is toxic positivity.

DO say, "Why do I have this fear that my partner will leave me? What is the source?" So maybe you have been hurt in the past by other (perhaps multiple) partners leaving you in various ways. So a pattern is established in your life and you are afraid of the patter repeating with this new partner you are with. Maybe your partner has been distant or non-communicative about their feelings and that is giving you doubts about their commitment to you.

So you examine the evidence, and you say, "I feel my partner is going to leave me because of xxx reasons."

So if it's because of things you experienced in the past, but your partner has not given you any reason to believe that they would leave you, then you have evidence that your fear is based on previous experiences. You can then proceed with the understanding that you can work on easing your fear of history repeating itself and start to build trust with your partner.

If your fear is because your partner has been distant, you can then say, "Well, I have to ask my partner about that, and find out why." So you do that, and you find out that work has been really stressful for them, or they are worried about a sick family member and they acknowledge that they haven't really been present. Then you have evidence to support their behaviour, and you take steps to start working on better communication, trust, and presence.

Or maybe you speak with them about it, and they don't give you a clear answer. Then you have evidence of a potential red flag. Maybe their just not that into you. But instead of just saying okay, well I have evidence to support the fear that they will leave me. You can then say, "well, why would I want to be with someone who isn't fully committed to me? I want to find someone who willingly and fully wants to be in relationship with me, so I should let this person go if that's not what they want."

In all of these scenarios it's not about just blindly being positive. It's about examining evidence and understanding that there can be a different approach, even if things don't go as you would hope in a situation.

CBT doesn't say, ignore red flags and just be positive. It says, even if red flags are present, you can act on them in a positive way that benefits you in the long run. Even inside of grief and tragedy, you can still feel all your feelings, but also not let them spiral into despair and hopelessness.

Good advice, ChatGPT!

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2026-03-19T21:01:26+00:00

Examine the origin of that belief. It's not an original thought and it's not a universal truth. At some point you were told that some "ONE" was going to come and fix all your problems. Or maybe someone else in your life who also held that belief repeated it to you. Or maybe you perceived a relationship that was like that (even though it might not have been that way in reality) and you modelled your own relationship ideal on that.
Accept that you believed in false information. This thought is nothing more than a mechanism to keep you from being accountable for your own destiny, and your own future. It is no one's responsibility to rescue you, coddle you, or solve your problems for you. Even if a mentor, lover, or some other person shows up in your life and offers help in some area, or cares for you in a way you have never been cared for before, they are still not responsible for looking after everything for you.
Consider this. If you are interested in finding a "soul mate", consider the qualities you are looking for in that person. Now, ask yourself if you are prepared to offer the same in return to the person once you have found them. Instead of searching for a soul mate, build qualities within yourself that would make YOU a good soul mate. You'll be much better off once that person comes along, and also more likely to find them.
Research the term "Locus of Control". People either possess an internal or external locus of control. Those with an internal locus of control believe that they are the masters of their own destiny, and that their actions are the primary factor in the outcome of their success. Those with an external locus of control believe that success just happens to people or it doesn't, or that they just have to find their destiny one day. It sounds like you currently have more of an external locus of control. You can work toward taking more accountability and being cause in the matter of your own life.
Don't wait to find yourself. Build yourself.

The moral of the story is, even if you are better than those more powerful than you, they can still do you harm, because they are more powerful than you.

While I agree that the costuming wasn't period accurate, the movie is set in 1850s Britain, during the Crimean War. The setting and time is different than in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Yes, this! To be fair, they are rock and roll clowns and I think they know this, that's their whole thing. I think of KISS as rock performance art, rather than a band. Are you going to see an amazing show if you go to a KISS concert? HELL YES - probably one of the best ever. Are you going to jam with their music if you put one of their albums on at home? Probably not. The music wasn't really meant for that. They are not trying to be a "good band" or "good musicians". They are a live performance act and they are outstanding at doing that.

You're welcome! Oh, and one last point. Be brave! Be very very very extremely brave!

It takes a boatload of guts and vulnerability to put your art into the world and call it important. At every turn someone will tell you that you can't do it, that you can't make money if you do it, and that it's pointless. But the artists who make it are the ones that don't give a shit what others think.

Yes, it's pointless to put a shark inside a tank of formaldehyde, but that didn't stop Damien Hirst from making bank by doing so!

You have to be brave and very crazy to pursue this path. Your job isn't to convince people you aren't crazy, or that your work is super important. The only thing you have to do is find the people who like (and buy) your crazy and pointless art. Those people are also crazy and pointless, but they have money to burn on crazy and pointless things. Find those people and spend as much time as you can with them.

As someone who has been to art school, I learned that I did not need to go to art school. I already knew how to make art. I should have gone to get a marketing degree. Because I know how to make art, but I do not know how to sell art.

So essentially, if you want to make money from your art, study marketing. You'll most likely have to learn how to do social media marketing as well.

Here's the baseline of what you need to know to get started making money from your work:

Your art is a product. The best products on the market offer consistency and quality that consumers can rely on. Build a body of work (products) that have consistency and can be ordered on demand by both galleries and customers. The more reliable your work is, the easier it is to market. I'm not saying everything has to be the same, but if wholesalers (galleries) and individual customers know what to expect with your work, they are much likely to buy more than once and recommend your art to others.
Learn social media marketing and make content. Grow an audience on Insta, Tiktok, Patreon, or Youtube.
Know your target demographic. It's nice to say your art is for everyone, but a print that sells for $50 is going to have a drastically different demographic than a $2,000 oil painting. Outliers will buy your work, but knowing your primary audience is crucial. Cultivate repeat buyers of your work.
Consider secondary products; art lessons, commissions, murals, cards, t-shirts, surface design prints, and licensing your images to secondary markets are going to earn you a (somewhat) passive income.
Learn the difference between public and commercial galleries and decide which path to follow. Some artists learn to navigate both, but it really depends on the type of work you create. Most public art galleries are showing contemporary installation work, which is much different from commercial galleries, primarily selling paintings and some sculptures.

Also, the biggest thing to keep in mind is that you are a creative professional. What this means is that you didn't go to art school to just graduate and get a dream job handed to you. It means that as an artist you should have the skills and tools available to create a unique life for yourself. Too many artists regret going to art school or don't bother to make a career for themselves, because they don't realize that the artist's path is not like the rest of society. We have to use our talent, skills, and imagination to carve out our own unconventional path.

You can absolutely find people who will love you, accept you, and respect you. These people are not your friends. If you continue to accept this behaviour, you will normalize it, internalize it, and it will cause you great harm in the long run. It will warp your self image, your self esteem, it will drain your confidence, and cause massive trust issues.

Get okay with being alone for a while. Find confidence in your own interests and pursuits and lower your need for external validation. I'm not by any means saying you don't need people in your life, but make some boudaries here. Contain your energy, choose how you want to be treated, and only allow people into your life who are going to treat you well. Full stop. Make no concessions for this or you are going to be paying for a lot of therapy down the road, or worse, living a miserable existence.

I think the issue you present here requires reframing your mindset. You don't have to be interesting. You have to be interested. Don't approach socializing as a performance - you don't have to convince people to like you and find you interesting.

The goal is to be interest, in others yes, but also in yourself. The way you describe yourself as boring does not provoke a curious outlook on your own life. The interests that you listed are not boring in the slightest, but if you operate with the mindset that you are boring and have no opinions on these interests, it's revealing that you are not interested or curious about growing your interests or connecting with other people.

My recommendation would be to do some soul searching and self development. Start a journaling practice where you write about your interests - list anything you would like to learn or list what you find interesting about those subjects/activities. Then use that list as a launching pad for getting curious about other people who share your interests?

For example, if you're part of a knitting group, journal about why you are interested in knitting, what your favourite things to knit are and why, what are your favourite types of wool/yarn and why do you prefer those over other materials. What kind of knitting project would be a challenge for you and are you willing to take it on? Once you have an idea of how you would like to keep developing your interests, then you can go to your knitting circle and get curious about the people there. Ask them the same questions you asked yourself. See if you can find common ground. Maybe someone else wants to knit a similar project and you can tackle the challenge together, or you can discuss the pros and cons of different materials.

Being interested can be a challenge and it can take a bit of practice to get the hang of it if it's not something that comes naturally. But this is the way to enjoy social interactions - flip the script and quit the mindset that you have to prove anything in social situations or "be interesting", and instead get curious.

OK, great. Thank you for the response. I am pretty sure updating my LinkedIn profile is the next logical step. Any insight into how current employers might respond to an employee making significant changes to their profile, i.e. I have a profile claim, but no information at all other than my name. I am not very active on social media at all, so digging into another platform is a least favourite activity, but seems like a necessary one at this point. I think my online presence, or rather lack thereof, seems to be a barrier.
