sure, that's what they are to some degree. Since I am not alone in the world, I appreciate being manipulated when I or others benefit from it. Being appreciative more in retrospect than in a moment I become aware of it, though. Then it doesn't work that well:) In the same way, I do not always realize being the manipulator.

it really jumps out at me now in movies and tv shows when someone says,

"have a seat"

which, in the past seemed simply "polite"

but now it sounds like a command

and a way to set the tone for dominating the conversation

I see more than I like to notice in all these new movies and series. They are often dripping with political correctness but utterly lack objective reality. The cinematic good experiences get rare and I stick to old movies and good story tellings, which luckily are there in plenty.

Do you know the "Critical Drinker" youtube-channel? It's hilarious.

yes, that's a really good one

Excellent film review. You can only be that brilliant to critique a movie if you know some shit about life yourself :)
Thanks for this one, I haven't seen it.

There is a sewist who postet "We need to talk about Sew Expo 2024" on youtube (up from minute 9, approx.) - I already regret having watched it (did not make it to the end though) - she blocked copying the url for other websites, so you have to type it into the searching window.
It's a shame that adult females want others to solve their conflicts. I am embarrassed with my sex.

Did we have that conversation about what an operator shall be able to control on his operating platform? Can't remember but this is also about it, from my point of view.

yeah, i think we may have talked about this in relation to hivewatchers

i don't care what rules the host wants to make

as long as those rules are transparent

and logically-coherent
