But what if I'm merely faking my concern about my faking it?

Jonathan Harker proves that he can't do accent work, but he did do some decent acting in The Devil's Advocate.

I am an introvert. But I'd really prefer to have a five minute call to a text message conversation taking place over an hour. Organising plans with people is infinitely more painful over text messages than it is over a group call. Am I unique in this?

Edit: I do appreciate it when people text to ask if now is a good time to call, though.

Pirating it wouldn't make it more popular if you kept it to yourself, but talking about it after you watched it probably would.

Reminder: "separating the art from the artist" is an approach to engaging with an artwork, and is a separate question from whether or not you should engage with an artwork when doing so has real life consequences.

Whether or not you should consume HP Lovecraft media despite the fact he was a racist is entirely up to you because he is long dead. He doesn't make any money. He isn't even racist any more. Because he's dead.

When you consider whether or not you consume Harry Potter media, you must consider that JK Rowling will make money and will donate that money to anti-trans groups. If you still go on to buy licensed merch, or pay a streaming service to watch it, you will literally be helping to propogate transphobia. Continue to enjoy anything you currently own if you want. That is where separating the art from the artist comes into it. But if you still actively promote the material online and thereby increase the demand for it; again, transphobia, arguably.

To make something fail, especially to make a horse in a race fail by giving it drugs.

"Regards." Neutral.

"Best regards." Gushing.

"Best." I want you to die.

"The iniquities of the fathers are visited upon the sons and daughters—unto the third and fourth generation."

Yew-ess-ay-ian doesn't flow like yew-ess-ian.

I think there's a difference, though, between liking it in private, and talking it up publicly.

If someone still listened to their Lostprophets albums I'm not going to judge, but if they spent a lot of time posting about how much they loved and still love Lostprophets... that still feels a bit off.

Fishy-wishy, chips, and dishy.

I say we should go back to calling engineering crafting. Furthermore, physics ought to be natureken, and science ought to be worldken. We could call atomic theory uncleftish beholding.
