could you please elaborate on the confidence vs. entitlement thing? you said new people in the industry should “cultivate the entitlement and forget the confidence” which seems a bit backwards for me based on the connotations those words typically have, but i may have misunderstood entirely

Sure! This is something I was taught at drama school and it’s been great advice for me both in acting and in life.

We were rehearsing a play and one of the actors was struggling a bit with a scene (it was Macbeth, I think). He said something like, “I’m just not very confident!” and our facilitator said, “Confidence is bullshit. It’s bullshit used to sell self-help books. Do you know your lines? Have you done your preparation? Are you warmed up? Then you are entitled to go on stage and command the audience’s time and attention. If you haven’t done those things, then you’re a professional actor - you know what you have to do to be ready - go do it! Whether you’re confident or not simply isn’t relevant.” And the actor internalised that advice and he went out and gave an absolutely cracking turn as Macbeth!

I’ve always remembered that. I even remembered it when I was considering transitioning actually, I remember thinking, “Well I’m an adult, I know what this involves, I know the risks, I’ve done the prep; I’m allowed to bloody well do it if I want to!”

the way yall treat dylan mulvaney is just fucking insane. its 2024 i dont careeee if some trans woman made a bad song about girlhood. you guys are annoying. leave her alone

i remember when she came out in like… 2020 or 2021 the internet fucking exploded. like. i remember the feminist convo went from “men should cary tampons and pads in case their female friends need them, solidarity/there’s nothing wrong with periods” and then dylan said “yeah i bring tampons with me in my purse in case someone says they need one” and everyone exploded about how she was apropriating the female experience or whatever dumb shit. if she got a sponsorship and put out an add hundreds of cis women will talk about how they, randos on the internet who dont do marketing and have no actual media presence, didnt get to be influencers being paid to model bras or something.

now. everyone dressed up in pink for the barbie movie. everybody posted “i’m just a girl” and “girl math is when you splurge shopping” and “girl fact: we’re much more emotional than boys” on tiktok, and it just went ignored. wearing heavy makeup and going broke on skincare and plastic surgery and filters became branded as self care, but the women who did any of that were labeled as dumb boy obsessed bitches by. other women. but the instant dylan writes, as others have put it, a “girls just wanna have fun” song, then suddenly she’s the worst thing to ever happen to women everywhere.

no matter what trans women do, it’s always wrong. if you’re miserable then good, fuck you, but if you like being a woman and are happy about it then suddenly you’re antifeminist and patronizing. just leave her alone

The Hermits have figured out that passing around a horn resets the timer on it, so multiple people can activate it in a row without the cooldown (just the item pickup delay).

This culminates in Etho, Gem, Tango, Skizz, and Joel passing around and rapid-firing a horn of Impulse’s spice-induced whimpering, interrupted only by their own laughter, for like a solid minute.

I can’t believe this fucking server. /pos
