The "why" of working so hard on that billboard is to pay medical bills and afford enough fun things to soften the blow of never being able to retire- Source: am in marketing

skep 2 years ago

Sure, we're all slaves to capitalism after all, but if you're going to spend the time anyway, may as well make the effort worth it.

For example, if the casino billboard came right out and said "We're your only shot at retirement", I'd respect that a hell of a lot more than trying to sell me on shrimp scampi.

miela583 2 years ago

My thought on how it went would be that, at some point someone had an interesting or fun idea, and they got their paycheck for that, but the sales rep who sold them the billboard got cold feet and yelled at the creatives team until they backed down to “shrimp scampi” so sales could get the safest commission possible.

Hm. Well that's believable but harder to twist into a semi-inspiring blog post.

One of the things that psychedelics always make clear to me is that all of our built environment is the product of human thought, effort, and suffering. How much ANY of it inherently "means" is up for grabs. Understanding the world this way can either be maddeningly nihilistic or it can be humanizing, to know that our built environment is a material manifestation of our collective needs and foibles.

Exactly why I personally shoot for two parts empathy, two parts apathy, and a dash of pointing out all the wrong details.

Trusted media analyst Skep, finally played Sayonara Wild Hearts over here, and am glad I have a time delay on my posts so I don't just type joyous profanity. Thanks for the recs so I finally played it after.... 5 years sitting on my Switch!

The compulsion to type joyous profanity never really goes away, it just gets easier to cope with after a while. Glad you enjoyed. Don't forget to give the riddles a try.

I will. I'm gonna leave it for a few days, but think I want to try to gold rank all of the levels, too.

Gold rank is pretty fair so long as you don't drop your combo and are decent about hitting the hearts. Anyway you inspired me to have another go through this morning, and now I've already hit my emotional limit for the day.

Quick Update: Gonna have to extend the hiatus to another month. Been feeling unwell for the past couple of weeks (been feeling a bit better though), but I haven't gotten anything I've wanted done. Really sorry about this.

I know this wasn't the point of your post and hope you feel better, but I'm super hyped to see there's new Kate Nash to listen to from your update.

I hadn't actually listened to Kate Nash before, but that's a "I'd buy that on vinyl" album.

Thank you, and you are welcome! I wasn't always sure where your site was taking me when I clicked things, but it looked so elegant and cohesive that I also kinda didn't care

Skep's Place is apparently a year old today. This means I managed to retain interest in something I started for one whole year. Just do me a favor and ignore the self-referential Distracted Boyfriend meme I slapped on my front page two days ago and we'll be good.
