Completely sick and tired of my dad telling me that he hopes people make a damn revolution against Milei and that "well but this is how we did it in 2001" when i express any concerns for safety during manifestations BUT THEN I'm the one protesting while he stays at home bc powice scawy :(, I'm the one who's trying to learn safety protocols and first aid, I'm the one watching news and talking to other protesters to form groups and connections. Like alright mr. revolution do i pick you up when the revolution is ready or...?

It's not even a mild cold for the coworker (and definitely isn't for me)! And he came! Everyone knows I have a bad immune system and my wife is in the hospital 3 times a week!
He also. Can work from home. He does so 3 times a week anyway.
I can't be around my wife for a week or so! My brother is coming to town and I can't be around him! My wife needs taken care of; she can't care for me!
I know I had the choice to just never stop wearing a mask but everyone gets vaccinated for covid and flu because (because I pressure them into it), so with just a little consideration this could have been avoided.

I thought last night about my propensity to spoil media for myself if I don't think I'll ever get around to experiencing it, or sometimes I won't be invested in something as I'm experiencing it or I wasn't particularly interested in the thing to begin with so I'll just read spoilers and get it over and done with. And how my former best friend totally hated it.
Like get this, one time he told me that if he knew that I knew the ending to a movie - not because I'd already seen it, but because I'd read about it beforehand (even if it was years ago) - it made him enjoy it less. At one point he just point-blank asked me what I got out of doing that instead of just watching the movie or playing the game or whatever.
The answer to that is two-fold. First of all, I was a massive fucking hipster and I would seek out weird underrated movies that appealed to my sensibilities instead of Hollywood schlock in the vein of what I grew up watching, because I had the ability to go beneath the surface like that and hunt out niche things that I enjoyed.
Hollywood schlock definitely has its place, he sat me through the Fast and the Furious and Mission Impossible series and I liked both of them well enough, but I would still rather dedicate my time to interesting movies on SBS or what have you. Something I haven't seen before, but which appeals to my sensibilities. On the normie side, I found Booksmart. On the considerably less normie side, I found Castaways on the Moon.
Secondly, I was poor.
I didn't have the latest game consoles - in regards to games, I just legit didn't have a way to experience the new releases for years. My family very rarely bought new DVDs. For years, we had dial-up internet.
I made up for that lack of external media by reading websites and shit. I spent years on TV Tropes, for better or worse. I spent lots of time on IMDB and TV.com and stuff. I hunted interesting media down, even before I could experience it, and anything that had any passing relevance to my interest at the time but which didn't really enchant me got spoiled. I didn't spoil Castaways on the Moon for myself. I did spoil Taken 3, because I never particularly cared enough to watch Taken 3.
But how do you communicate that with someone who tells you that when he knows you read about the ending of a movie, even if it was years ago, he enjoys the movie less? Someone who can't fathom why you would "do that to yourself" instead of watching the movie?
I never cared about the movie. It's nice that I get to watch it now, I'm not complaining in this instance, but I got what I needed and that doesn't cheapen the experience of getting to see it all play out now. I didn't think I would ever get to see it, and with my hipster tastes I didn't really care. Now I'm here, and it's fine. It's not ruining my day. Why would it ruin his?
This is less of a sad emotional reminiscence and more of a case where my former best friend was just kind of acrimonious to who I was, and as much as I thought he was being a tool at the time, it only looks pettier and shittier as time goes on. Fuck that guy.
