Genuinely think the only way to approach art is to like the things you like instead of tearing down what other people like.
"You should read classics because those are real literature unlike that TikTok garbage." Bad. Turns people away from reading the classics because it makes them sound stuffy and boring and makes you sound like a snob.
"You should read classics because this book is amazing! I love the characters and the story, and it's so cool to read a story that uses different techniques than modern fiction does." Good. Makes people want to read the classic. Suggests there's something good in this story instead of just suggesting that other stuff is worse.
"You don't like the modern art? That's because you're an unwashed plebeian who only likes what's pretty." Bad. Puts down the person and makes them even less likely to be interested in this type of art.
"Wow, I love this painting! Look at the technique! I love the message behind it!" Good. Helps the person to appreciate what might not be obvious at first glance, instead of shaming them for not automatically knowing this.
"You should watch this show because it's so much better than that other garbage show." Antagonizes people who like the garbage show and makes them less likely to feel positively toward the show you like.
"You should watch this show because it has great writing/characters/plot etc." Good! Tells people what makes this show appealing and makes them want to try it.
"I listen to this music because it's real art and not that manufactured pop garbage." Bad. Makes your genre seem like an exclusive club of snobs that I don't want to join.
"I listen to this music because I like the sound. Here, listen to this song." Good! Shows me something good within the genre and may encourage me to explore further.
There's a place for criticism. You don't have to like or approve of everything. But it's not a great technique for getting people to like art. Hating on the things that are bad just drives people away. If you want to draw people toward something, you have to help them to appreciate what's good.
ok but something about the performance reviews really hit me hard
like, if you havent stopped to look at them, do, and then like think hard about it
Just, the fact that everyone gets the same score, even though they all had DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT experiences, really hammers home that it just doesnt matter how much effort you put in.
Like, how did Jax and Ragatha get the same scores as everyone else - Jax i kinda understand, everything is shitty, and he did help a bit after the "training video" (and WOW WTF was that-) but Ragatha??? Was kinda the coworker who comes to work drunk or high. And then kinda actively just makes things harder for everyone else. And im so glad that Zooble took her home and didnt leave her alone and that the others recognised that there was something wrong with her - but.. if you look at it objectively, she did a bad job. They both did. And they both got graded the same as everyone else.
And outta all of them, imo Zooble did the best job, yunno, head down just trying get to the end of their shift (HONESTLY SAME), and Pomni after them but. Yunno its all the same.
Then, somehow, Kinger, the guy that wasnt even there, got the highest grade!! Only way to win at work, dont play the fucking game!
But the part that really irks me is that, well, the reviews were done by Caine. Obviously yunno, upper management, but.. Caine was never on the floor with them. He didnt help them make the 300 burgers for the Glonk Queen or clean the bathroom or whatever. He doesnt know what its like. And the guy who has no idea what its like working in such a shitty environment is the one who judges you based on how well you can put up with aforementioned shitty environment, so obviously its not gonna reflect how bad it is.
And after Gangle got hit by a TRUCK (seriously where tf did that come from?), he just docks points. Doesnt seem to recognise that hey, that isnt a thing people just do, and this is actually concerning. And obviously, canonically, hes an AI so obviously hes not gonna understand, but it still drives home how people like this actually exist! People care this little!!
Idk what point im trying to make, but i think its this - dont bother actually trying at your job, no one is going to notice and its not gonna make a difference.
ALSO JAX WAS RIGHT! THERE WAS NO CAINE GIVEN CONSEQUENCE, THEY COULD HAVE JUST FUCKED OFF AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE CARED BECAUSE CAINE DOESNT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES A GOOD EMPLOYEE
ugh I feel so shitty focussing on everyones grade like their actual experiences dont matter, but i hope yall get the jist of what im saying
squad stuff, woo-oo. 3rd pic base by @little-geecko
Hey I know this page is for silly goofs and gafs. But if you are in the US right now and you’re scared of what’s going on, like so many people, like me.
I want you to know you’re loved, and it’s ok to be scared to be terrified, it’s ok to feel that right now, it’s ok to grieve.
But once you’re ready I want you to stand up tall ok. I want you to stand up tall and be so loudly proud of who you are. Do not let them silence us, do not let them win!
We will not be silenced, we will not go away, and we will not let them win.
