In a comedy routine he said -- "This is all going to end in two years, but now I'm flying first class". I read it as a comment on relevance, fame and fortune are fleeing (also he should given himself a bit more time than two years). Now this reads -- he knew why it's going to end.
Everything that he said at the time felt candid and personal, it turned out to be inappropriate behaviour. He used us, the audience, to normalize his actions.
Maybe it's not authobiographical, but now if I'm going to watch for all the biographical things that happen, instead of enjoying the show.
Or the opposite -- I would get emotionally invested and would have to reconcile that with one of the writers did, or go as far as defend the writer as part of the show.
I felt that it was culturally important enough for me to watch it, but I haven't really had the time. Now I don't have to.
Sometimes a movie or a tv series doesn't hold up after a while, in this case I don't have an opinion about the series but the writer certainly is not holding up.
@thinkMoult You might want to try local hackerspace if there's one near you, going to hackerspaces is really good for finding people of different skill sets to work on multidisciplinary projects.
The article provoked a bit of outrage here -- everyone read it and mocked it, but I hope it didn't provoked twitter-grade outrage with author being harassed, doxxed or receiving death threats.
I was critical of daily dot article, because it mentioned witnessing the same event, in positive terms -- that made me realize that I've wasted my time, my attention and I've been manipulated by the people who are good at manipulating others.
The article made me examine my action whenever it intended or not, and I didn't like my actions;
A few weeks ago I checked out my friends' twitter pages -- I've applied Amish rules of using modern technology to twitter, I still can do go on twitter, but I must not have an account there and the process has to be inconvenient.
I read the outrage about hambergers, and US politics and stuff, and I liked the feeling, but eventually I moved on.
@nolan I don't use twitter, but people around me do and most writers for the Atlantic to as well. I tend to fall into this rage frenzy trap, only now this affects me indirectly.
I'm trying to become a better person and when I feel anger I attempt to examine where it comes from.
The problem is that this sources of anger come from everywhere and dealing with them is exhausting.
