yeah. she's doing cher from clueless cosplay.

I remember seeing this person on /publicfreakout/ or some other reddit video board. Her and her buddy streamed some performative charity to an IHOP waitress. Like, they just decided to randomly give this person 10k while live on stream and then this act somehow ended up being spread across the internet.

Seemed really transparent even if the deed was a good one. Like, they knew lame dudes would probably donate tons more money to them (for doing nothing) because of all the extra publicity. Left a bad impression.

Despite being the faces of the show, Trang, St. John, Jones, and their costars Amy Jo Johnson, David Yost, and Jason David Frank saw virtually none of that money. "One of the things Saban said was, 'Look, I'm giving them the chance to become stars.'

"We were broke," St. John bluntly explained, detailing extremely low pay on the non-union production and salaries that left them in need of second jobs, despite an exceedingly demanding shooting schedule. The trio were fired from the show after Trang's speech, a decision that wasn't ever directly communicated to the rest of the cast and crew.

their parents all traumatized them.

people online act like boomers were singularly awful. their parents and grandparents were bullshit too.

no.

why are you making generalizations about the entire media landscape of another culture after you watched 3 properties that are wildly popular in the western world? you know south korea probably churns out like 30 k-dramas / 100 movies every year?

I already picked through the rubble of james woods's home for videodrome memorabilia so don't bother. all i found was the fake ponytail he wore in 'true believer.'

probably AI generated subtitles.

I guess, but it's not something that I ever thought about when I used to watch that show after school. The bullshit you'd see in sitcoms/hour dramas was more damaging, insidious and helped reinforce gross cultural attitudes. I.E you'll be stuck flipping burgers!

Yeah, but fashion hasn't evolved much because she didn't look out of place (I was just surprised to see it) among everyone else; plenty of people still rock baggier fits. Whereas you'd stick out like a sore thumb if you dressed like that in the 50s. You could warp your average person back to 1996 and nobody would notice. And if you warped someone from 1996 to the future they'd probably be surprised and disappointed how everything is the fucking same in contrast to the future of the 2000s that we were promised through media. Nobody in the present would peg them as a time traveler. That's for sure.

Everything that exists now has either not changed much, or is just sleeker, more powerful, or higher fidelity; From fashion, to cars, to televisions, to video games, to computers, to movies and tv shows. Most of the same brands still exist. Nothing has changed that drastically that should cause any person to consider shit from the 90s to be 'dated' other than some cultural attitudes.

That'd be like a 90s teen knowing about Dragnet if you're just going in terms of years. But at the same time, there isn't as large a gap in culture/aesthetics between the 90s and modern day as there was between the 50s and the 90s.

It's very weird to me that people consider things dated. Like, if you turn on 10 Things I hate About you and then go to the mall in 2024 teenagers dress the same lol. I saw some girl at Aldi the other day that made me do a triple take because she was dressed so Y2K that she looked like she had accidentally entered a rift in space/time on her way to a warehouse rave in 1999.

no. i've been to dozens of psychologists/psychiatrists since i was 12 and none of them helped me. the most useful one was the one who diagnosed me with ocd in my 30s, but that was 100% based on me admitting i had 'obsessive thoughts,' which could have stemmed from any number of disorders (i also had cpstd which i diagnosed myself lol).

then, when i did get a formal diagnosis i went to several after that and none of them mentioned CBT or ERP-- i learned about them on reddit. i ended up fixing my problems on my own.

all that professional help and i had to bootstrap my own therapy. fuckers were so useless i couldn't even get legit benzo prescriptions even though my anxiety was so bad i couldn't work (would have ended up homeless several times if it hadn't been for family).
