As a side note I think what makes Succession such an excellent critique of capitalism is how it handles the idea of meritocracy. It's very easy to imagine conservatives (especially wealthy conservatives) as Scrooge McDuck kind of figures who really just want whatever brings in the most money. But the truth is that most of them are deeply, deeply invested in the belief that capitalism is a meritocracy, and that their own success is the result of hard work and others' failure is the result of personal failings. They are so invested in this idea that they will go to amazing lengths to reinterpret any piece of information that challenges it. Succession does a really, really good job of depicting that conviction, and depicting it so well that the audience will be occasionally sucked into it, before slapping you in the face with the utter pathetic incompetency of these people who are essentially running America.

I think that's one of the things that really sets it above a lot of other 'eat the rich' type movies that write their wealthy characters with more of a Scrooge McDuck mindset. Personally, I think any good critique is written so that the critiqued party can see themselves in the story. They may not accept the critique, but if it's good and it's accurate there will be a character they recognize as themselves. No conservative is going to see themselves in Miles Bron, a man who is clearly out of his depth and incompetent and stealing other people's ideas, or the rich people from Squid Game, who insist on 'levelling the playing field' through random chance. But they DO see themselves in characters like Tom Wamsbgans and Kendall Roy (hence why an army of reddit bros turn out to defend their every move), and I think that's what gives Succession's critique a fighting chance of actually landing with the people who need to hear it

what's so ??? for me too is the 'we need to torment felicia 🤭' plotting those bozos were doing all started from 'she's TOO comfortable and it's DISGUSTING!' which they've been blathering about all their targets since the moment blue won that veto.

and i don't understand why this pisses them off so much rather than make them proud/smug? they're all going out of their way to blindside people and make everyone feel safe, why the hell is that being (questionably) successful making them so angry? (and then ofc if someone does want to campaign for their life in the house, jag and his minions complain about that too and talk about isolating them for it, so there's really no winning either way.)

not to start shit but as someone who was on the front lines of tjlc during season 4 it's insanely funny to see people huffing the same exact breed of copium like these are word for word just repeated arguments that ppl made back then. like bro if you think the writing was bad that's because your opinion is that the writing was bad. it's okay to think the writing was bad. see *i* dont think it was bad but your repeated insistence that "we all agree it was bad" just tells me that you need people to agree with you because you can't just accept that you didn't like something. like im sorry but sometimes the things you like are gonna make you go "huh i think that bit was badly written" and that's okay it's not some big conspiracy 🙏🙏🙏🙏

lays put out a new tzatziki flavored potato chip and i tried it today! i have Opinions :)

mainly, That's Not What Tzatziki Tastes Like

theres THYME in this! looking closer the bag says "greek inspired flavors" so i suspect its not ACTUALLY tzatziki chips, they just called it that because thats the closest greek flavor they could find without turning people off with lamb flavored potato chips (but give me those please that sounds good)

it meeds more yogurt flavor and more garlic, MORE DILL! and less thyme. They're not gross i'll finish my bag, and they're good dipped in yogurt. I think I'd like them more if i wasnt expecting a tzatziki flavor tbh

im excited to try the honey butter flavor, but i worry the salsa flavor will just taste like ketchup :/

which came first? the chicken (smith’s desire to die as become a hero) or the egg (suicidal robots)?

My first time watching Glass Onion it was obvious that Miles' speeches were bullshit, but I still searched for any hidden meaning there might be.

The second time is a different experience though because every time my brain starts to search for meaning, I feel like Benoit Blanc discovering that no, there is absolutely no hidden meaning.

It's bullshit it's all nothing nothing nothing! It is just how you end up talking when everyone reacts to your self-aggrandizing word vomit like it is actually wisdom.

Also, legit, when Miles gave his stupid bullshit speech about what the word 'disruptor' means to him, I shit you not I was like holy shit am I back in business school right now?!

Miles must have given speeches like that at 100 business school graduations, goddamn.

Like, the motherfuckers really do sound like this. We didn't have any billionaires come, but we had a lot of millionaire guest speakers in my classes, and they fucking talk like that.

They all think they're rugged capitalists, but they're just glass onions!

I was chopping an onion for dinner just now and got to wondering. Plus I've never made a poll, so this will be fun.

* Green onions are used differently than the other kinds so I debated leaving them off the list, but I'm a completist.

"Cooking" can mean eating raw in salads, etc. Or if you don't cook, then your favorite to eat.

What if I committed myself to writing drawing and animating my very own show despite having 0 animation experience and also being bad a drawing because I realized an extremely well known public domain property is actually an issekai and I need a female-lead shonen that fucks incredibly hard like Kill la Kill except if it wasn’t. Like That™

I should stop going on instagram. Why are people always so mean in the comments ?

I was just watching a video of a french grandma sharing her roasted chicken recipe (it's almost the same as my grandpa's so it made me smile cause I know it's good) and almost everyone in the comments was awful. Lot of people calling it unseasoned (it wasn't) and disgusting and lot of people getting defensive about it and therefore insulting other countries cuisine.

Like first of all why are people judging other culture's cooking, the philosophies are different, and second of all why do people have the urge to comment on everything ? Why don't they just ignore it ? It makes me a little sad.

[hychlorions]
