Pyramid schemes and their consequences
  • This kid is going to grow up and realize what their parents did

  • 90% of reality TV is just the modern version of circus freak shows
  • I hate competition reality shows with eliminations like Drag Race and Lego Masters.

    I think there's too much financial incentive to be inauthentic/make a brand and the censorship and editing keep people from acting human. Everything feels artificial and I feel bad for the people sent home.

    Genuinely creative people alongside people who can afford to take weeks off work.

    Something like British Bake Off is a little better at least, but thinking about the countless hours of reality TV churned out every year, it's overwhelming to think about.

  • Thoughts on telling a co-worker you find them attractive?

    I'm into a co-worker. Nothing indicates he's interested or even into guys, but I'm bad at reading social cues. He knows I'm not straight and we talk regularly at work.

    It feels like it's obvious I like him, but again, social cues. I was thinking about saying something direct and just being honest, but I don't want to stress him out. I don't expect him to like me back, but that would be great.

    I guess I'm asking how uncool is it to communicate that to someone at work?

    Edit - I just wanted to say thanks and I hear what a lot of you are saying. I was under the assumption that being around someone you like and not telling them you like them is dishonest and unfair. It turns out I need to reevaluate some things about myself.

    I need to be careful and I don't want to risk making work worse for me/alienate another person who's trying to work in peace.

    I'm just glad I got to talk about the feeling somewhere shit once. Thanks again!
