Depression?

Someone could definitely program their media player to make it appear as though the actors are waiting for you to press play again. Subtle rise and fall of the chest, blinking, all that.

Damn, new copypasta just dropped.

This is classic cognitive disonnance. If they liked the person who made the car, I’m almost certain their mind would be different. This phenomena is particularly obvious whenever you see something that was once popular fall from grace. See the conversation around Justin Roiland or even Reddit before and after their respective controversies. You start to see the people say things to the tune of “blank was never good anyway.”

I know you made a joke about MacOS, but I am genuinely interested with what issue you have of it.

That’s a thoroughly convincing perspective. I suppose we will never truly know the story for sure behind what OP said, but I would like to give the benefit of the doubt that perhaps these conversations were had respectfully at an appropriate time and place.

I believe you’re referring to the way some teenagers will brag about it covertly to their friends. Make no mistake, while on the surface it may appear as you say, that’s just the veneer of confidence they’re wearing that belies deeper inner turmoil. I won’t try to unpack what those turmoils are as they are different for everyone and I speak not as a psychological professional but as a professional educator.

What I encourage you to consider is the level of complexity people are burdened by and that when people with awful turmoil enter into your life, even just for a brief moment, that they should be first met with authentic empathy and care before cynicism as the stakes of treating these subjects with anything less are far too severe.

What I really like about this one is that literally anyone can use it and it’ll always mean something different

That’s right! You don’t need to know anything else to judgment.

I don’t feel like it matters too much what order you play them in, they all good and distinct enough that you can enjoy their unique qualities and quirks. Two is arguably the hardest to get into, however I don’t share that opinion. They’re all standalone enough that it’s no imperative that you play them in any particular order.
