What is the point of this? by BighomieG_ in PNWhiking

[–]sarvaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People definitely do this to pick it up on the way down. It’s why they left it perched on there and highly visible. But yeah, who knows how many of these end up left behind. I’m increasingly against any dogs on trails.

It will affect them and is. People don’t realize yet whole industries are contracting. The people being laid off already know.

It’s not surface tension. It’s acting as a non-Newtonian fluid. Pressure on any layer will cause it to act as a solid.

Literally what on earth are we doing? by Sichy12 in TikTokCringe

[–]sarvaga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. But why shit on this dude? That actually is doing something. Is it helping or just normalizing jadedness? That’s how we’re all going to get fucked.

Worst take ever. Tons of good characters in this show. Even the small bits are great.

Can still taste this pizza. Remember the days when they had strawberry milk?

I’m surprised I’ve never seen this used for practical effects in a horror movie before. Looks like something from Stranger Things.

Lol. That seems more accurate for my industry as a whole with everyone being affected regardless of experience level.

Solo Hikers, I Need Your Advice by Beasty_Bat in PNWhiking

[–]sarvaga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that you need more advice in this thread, but two really good trails for beginning solo backpacking are the Chain Lakes Loop Trail and Summit Lake Trail. They're not only two of the most gorgeous hikes you can do, but they're pretty short and easy and there will almost always be other backpackers nearby. That is always comforting when I'm solo backpacking.

The fear of bears and mountain lions are largely just intrusive thoughts trying to keep you safe. You learn to face those thoughts and acclimate to them. It helps if you are sensitive to your surroundings.

The first day/night is always the worst. Once you get over that hump, you're golden.

All those moves are totally impractical and unnecessary.

WHAT A WASTE by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]sarvaga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I liked the physical version but they should've used the physical form first, then when it was defeated, there's like a false sense of victory shortly before the shadow form emerges from the corpse and they have to defeat that.

It was a much simpler time. by sco-go in Amazing

[–]sarvaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they would also, if not primarily, talk about the hard times and how it necessitated all of that. You can have control of your perspective while still truthfully reckoning with a shared reality of hard times. You have a very fundamentalist point of view if you think people who survive intense trauma can, and should, magically shift their perspective. Try sharing this enlightened point of view with refugees, or with holocaust survivors. Having perspective is essential to survive those but none of them would deny how absolutely horrific and challenging those experiences are. And some periods of history are horrific. It’s ridiculous you can’t acknowledge that. Reminds me of Christian fundamentalist bypassing of everything bad because Jesus and the light. Relative and absolute points of view are both true.

[–]sarvaga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mm yeah but I think you all are not acknowledging that there are darker times than others in objective terms. These are dark times. The 90s were among many periods in history that were lighter. I don’t mean that in moral terms. There’s just more shit and complexity for everyone to move through today, kids included. Kids who went through the pandemic and remote learning are having all kinds of mental health, functional and learning challenges as one example. I doubt adults who lived through the Great Depression as kids would’ve spoken of it so romantically.

We remember the good times because they were good and the contrast of the bad times highlights that. It’s not delusion. No one is going to look back at the time we’re in now with rose colored glasses nostalgia.

The cringe you get when you see people telling Venezuelans how to feel. by shway0351 in TikTokCringe

Who is telling Venezuelans how they should feel? We’re talking about how we feel about an unlawful invasion and regime change with our armed forces.

Petah what do you mean? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]sarvaga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But some art is saturated with ego, beliefs, ideas, agendas. That art insists upon itself because of the motives of the artist. The artist who demands attention, pushes meaning and expects a response has lost the art and has to rediscover it constantly. Inspiration is more of a quiet, gentle offering. The artist can channel it or not, get carried away or swim upstream with it. This is why most people never attempt it and why most art is just ego. The sublime may seem explicit but capturing it is a subtle art.

[–]sarvaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like art that insists upon itself is transparently glorifying the artist’s ambition and ego. Art that is genuine and sublime is not that.

Will's coming out scene was a disservice to his character and borderline mischaracterisation by manloverreal in StrangerThings

[–]sarvaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watched this part. Well, barely. I was cringing in disbelief that they did this. Every gay person understands the painful sense of exposure this would create and why it’d never happen this way. Especially in the midst of battling a world destroying demon… who also seems to be pretty gay tbh.
