It’s really weird how collective experiences of a thing inform how we later view that thing on our own.
Then there’s the stuff we never get to see on our own, and all the stuff we see on our own that can’t be shared.
That’s what births art.

Random Thought: I hope there’s eventually a Mandolorian episode where he meets another Mando who’s an absolute hotdogging jackass showboater because the helmet gives him confidence and a measure of social extroversion not possible without it

about how we’re all pretty much universally being sold the image idea of 5% body fat as the epitome of social standing as a way of fetishizing starvation and triggering guilt that can only be alleviated by consumerism, because that’s what gets sold as comfort?

Take breaks, even if you do not ‘need’ them. Sometimes, you don’t know what you need, even if it’s something that automatically gives you physical benefits like momentary rest from a repetitive or dull task.
Also, taking breaks when you don’t need them actively honors the idea of taking breaks.

Battlestar Galactica where everything is the same but the Cylons are also inexplicably fixated on producing vast quantities of maple syrup. It’s just happening because of an unfixable bug in their operating system. They don’t even know what to do with it, they just store it in giant tanks.
