Man, I knew it was going to be hard, but these first few days have been hell. Crying every night, throwing up, anxiety attacks… all the good stuff. My admission wasn’t even addiction related, but I feel you. I’m glad you made it into/through rehab and that you’re better now. If it were easy we wouldn’t have landed there in the first place. And ya, the view and fresh air definitely help, prolly more than I’m aware.
All the best to you, too!
Added to my audible, I’ll make sure to checknit out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you for sharing this, i really appreciate it.
Thank you ❤️🩹
This may be true, but I think the main reason for less “obvious” baddies in modern movies is simply that they kind of went out of fashion from a culture standpoint. The ways how stories are told and how world is portrayed/perceived in art and media is heavily dependent on the people who live in it. Post-modernism is en vogue because we’ve shifted our world view from simple good vs. bad towards recognizing that the world we live in is much more nuanced/complex. “Sometimes the villain is in your head” or “nothing really matters, everything sucks one way or another” are world views that reflect our modern western culture a lot more since we are so much more connected to the world through the internet.
That said, post/meta-modernism is just one side of this. I’m sure there are plenty of commercial reasons to make toothless, non-offending movies as well. Also, movies like Top Gun: Maverick prove that the classic approach to storytelling (good guys vs bad guys) can still work and make a shitton of cash (although they didn’t go all in on who the enemy actually is).
I read the whole article and that particular test was the least alarming to me. They say the cells died 3x faster than when exposed to a more diluted solution, but the article doesn’t mention references for what concentration levels were tested or if the levels were anywhere close to what a real human could be exposed to. They just say the particles might accumulate over time, but that doesn’t really mean anything without hard numbers.
I wish you named it “lewwy.world” just for the symmetry lol.
