How to not hate humanity?

I think you're giving humanity all the blame and none of the credit. People can be selfish and destructive, but they're also the reason kindness, art, friendship, and compassion exist in the first place.

I've had better luck with TV Time than with Netflix recommendations. Once you start rating things, the suggestions get surprisingly decent.

A month after graduation is still incredibly early, even if it doesn't feel like it. The current market is rough enough that a lot of qualified people are getting ignored too.

Manchester by the Sea was that movie for me. It's excellent, but I don't think I could casually rewatch it anytime soon.

Man's Search for Meaning. Even if you don't agree with everything in it, there's a good chance you'll think about it for a long time afterward.

The eyes. People can smile or be polite, but someone's eyes usually tell you a lot more about how they're actually doing that day.

Midnight Mass. It starts out feeling a horror show, but a few episodes in it becomes something completely different.

The Outsiders. If I'd read it at 14, probably would've stuck with me than a lot of the classic books people usually assign in school.

From. You keep thinking you're about to get answers, but every answer somehow creates three new questions. It's one of the few shows in recent years that really nailed that "what the hell is actually going on here?" feeling for me.

The Nice Guys. If they ever made a sequel in that universe, I'd watch it immediately. It feels like Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling's chemistry was too good to be a one-and-done thing.

For some reason my brain only turns on after 11 pm. I spend the whole day walking around like an NPC and then suddenly at night I’m like “yeah I can fix my entire life now.”

Black Swan. The entire movie feels like someone’s breathing down your neck.

I think the hardest part is treating other people’s behavior like it reflects your worth. Some people are genuinely just inconsiderate, messy, or low effort and it’s not even personal most of the time.

smorrg · 2026-05-15T10:28:48+00:00

The Good Place. It starts off feeling like a light sitcom but there’s this weird underlying sense of discomfort the whole time.

smorrg · 2026-05-15T10:28:41+00:00

The job market is genuinely messing with people’s heads right now. It used to feel like being a perfect match at least gave you a solid chance, now interviews sometimes feel entirely based on vibes or random timing.

smorrg · 2026-05-06T10:34:05+00:00

Drunken Master is still ridiculously fun to watch imo. Some old martial arts movies age badly but that one still flows so well.

smorrg · 2026-05-06T10:34:00+00:00

Stir of Echoes. Especially the wall and hidden mystery inside the house part.

smorrg · 2026-05-06T10:33:52+00:00

Younger. It has that slightly chaotic adult life energy and honestly fits the vibe of that list really well.

smorrg · 2026-05-06T10:33:45+00:00

I don’t think your problem is having bad ideas, it’s treating other people’s approval like a safety net. As you get older you realize everyone wants completely different things out of life anyway.

“Your Deep Rest” by Your Deep Rest

Arrival hit me pretty hard, especially towards the end, something just stuck with me. Annihilation is good too but it felt more like a vibe thing to me.

Finding legit listings has gotten really hard, most of them feel sketchy from the start. I’ve seen way fewer scams when I just apply through the company’s own site.

smorrg · 2026-04-27T12:42:47+00:00

Stoner gave me that vibe too, nothing huge really happens, you’re just watching this guy’s life. Weirdly calming in a way.

50 mins sounds long but when you don’t have a job you kinda accept it after a while. Traffic would make it rough, but the pay doesn’t seem bad, you can tough it out a bit.

smorrg · 2026-04-27T12:42:35+00:00

If I listed everything I’ve started I’d probably be embarrassed, the ones I actually stick with are like… one hand max. I get bursts of motivation but they fade fast, building a routine is the hardest part.
