Yeah I don't know about people from other countries in N and S America, but here in Canada American means from the United States of America. I'm North American, not American.

Ok and? What's your point?

I'm just saying there's not much competition in the handheld space. Either you have massively popular products with an extensive history or extremely niche devices. The handheld PC market is still fairly nascent and Steam Deck dominating it and popularizing it so much (even if it's not that much compared to, say, the Switch) is still significant.

Yeah and it's also a politician's goal. Do you actually think everyone who wants to reach a lot of people is a scammer? Like there's no legitimate reason to want to reach as many people as possible? Did your parents drop on your head when you were young?

Because she could probably yell her political messages out of her window and reach more people?

Yeah why is this politician, who clearly finds it important to communicate her messages as widely and effectively as possible, using a massive social media platform which many American voters and basically all, if not all media organizations regularly use to get their information, instead of using some nobody social media platform that almost nobody cares about?!? The only conclusion is she must be a grifter!!!

Why yes I am incapable of thinking about a single subject for more than 5 seconds, why do you ask?

Small as in not a lot of competitors...

You ever feel something wiggling around in your brain?

[–] TheresNodiee@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Are people to quick to assume that? Where are you getting that information from? Are you assuming it?

That doesn't make it a good thing or something that shouldn't be off-putting to the people who are being fetishized. It's normal to be attracted to certain physical features but when you fetishize certain physical characteristics, ethnic/racial backgrounds, etc. you treat those people as a sexualized objects and not a human being who may have a sexual aspect to them but is much more complex than just the often superficial characteristics that are fetishized.

People want to be perceived as whole, complex human beings, not just carriers of characteristics that provide you sexual gratification which, if you fetishise something about a person, you are doing to them whether you realize it or not. It's creepy, disrespectful, and dehumanizing.

Feel free to feel attracted to certain physical characteristics but do not fetishise people.

She was obsessed with trying to pursue all these different skills and obsessed over all of the opportunities she made throughout her life and what she lost by not making certain choices. She overloads her daughter by trying to make her "everything" which drives her into a pit of nihilism and drives them apart. She only saves the day by realizing that she would have missed out on just as much that is good in her life by making other choices and by giving up trying to be "everything" to just love and accept her daughter--and by extension her life.

The message was essentially to appreciate the choices you've made and how they shaped the life you live, to appreciate the people around you, and to not obsess over missed opportunities and the pursuit of an impossible "perfect."

Everything Everywhere All At Once was about appreciating what you have in life and the people around you and not giving into hopelessness because you can't attain some romanticized perfect life. It's not about ignoring the horrible things going on in the world for the sake of your own peace of mind.
