I listened to the Tankietube version. The voice was so much better suited than the Youtube version. The YT version was also missing the preface.
I found it interesting overall, although generally so far Hooks (I know she doesn't want it capitalised, but it makes for confusing reading otherwise, sorry...) has prioritised personal reflections over hard data. That's all I found lacking. I'm sure she gets into that in the next chapters. The words have had a nice rhythm so far though. It's an easy listen.
The stuff about the scarcity of male affection resulting in it being worth more was especially interesting.
I had another bit that resonated with me, but I can't recall it right now. I'm sure someone else will mention it for me.
In general, while listening I reflected on my current psyche, and how in getting through some trying times I have recently become more emotionally blunted than I've been in a long time, and found myself at times unable to even find the words to comfort others. It resonated with me that to rectify that, I must consciously recognise when I do it.
Overall, a valuable listen so far, and I'll be tuning into the next chapters.
Zorin, because it's very slim for my shit ass laptop. To be honest, it gives me grief sometimes, and I thought about switching until the other day when I needed to turn my laptop into a router, and it only took me about 2 clicks, because it was built into the network manager.
Yeah but the petitions don't mean much really, it's just a social media trend. It will probably happen to every Labour MP til the end of time now.
I think most PM's start out unpopular because they immediately go back on their promises, but people have political amnesia so in a year or two his approval will have leveled out.
GOOD posts getting reposted on tiktok, Instagram, Reddit - in that order too, maybe?
Very simple.
A struggling theatre near me has refused to spend money on proper internet advertising. They spend most of it on big posters on the London underground. Well, recently one of the cast members made a concerted effort to post about it on tiktok - behind the scenes post, character profiles, mini interviews.
The theatre just had it's first completely sold out run in years.
Everything the tiktok algorithm touches turns into gold.
Then again, perhaps the content doesn't translate well since it's not video. In which case, Reddit and Instagram posts.
Damn. Still an extra layer of Marx and Ukrainian/Russian history needed on top to fully demystify the issue, but that was actually a great and clear answer.
