no you are very clearly so used to everything that is happening online. like yes in the real world, but especially how we DO have this type of discourse online. to the point that good genes for an attractive woman and wordplay for the word jeans is not a dogwhistle. most of the good genes is literally referencing her breasts bc that’s what’s she’s “known” for. they sell blue jeans. it’s literally just wordplay using a controversial but insanely currently popular actress

tbh it reminds me of the lil nas x montero era. it was obviously a setting based in hell, but it was a metaphor for his experience in life. ppl took it literally and started going insane over this worship of the devil. you are taking something so literally, then you twist it into the crazy theory that it is. she’s a pretty woman known for her boobs. her good genes, her “blue” genes, her eyes, reference boobs. and ofc the jeans/genes wordplay. it’s “deeper” but not a literal nazi ad

Besides the fact that I was getting constant psychological help, being in the psych ward was so deeply refreshing and healing for me because I had no choice but to be completely disconnected from the online world. Now I have designated weekends every now and then where I’ll put my phone in a drawer if I don’t need it for something like navigation.

Like I probably have some of the most fucked up genes on this community, I no joke should’ve been dead 6 times at least by now if not for modern medicine, and that’s just counting shit that I had absolutely no control over. But I’m not offended by that. Also - people say “you have great genes” all the time. Eg: I have terrible genes for building muscle in general, but some people have really good calf muscle form, or pec muscle, ab muscle, bicep muscle, etc etc.

Working out can help you build muscle, but your genes dictate the form the muscle takes. Acknowledgment of that isn’t inherently saying you’re less of a person for not having those genes. They’re exceptional (the exception) for a reason.

i hope you are healing well and i’m happy to hear it has benefited you! definitely not the same, but i experienced a lotttt of burnout lately and just haven’t been motivated to go on my phone for social media besides here sometimes and to look at instagram for memes. i didn’t even know what this discourse was and was so confused. i used to be very terminally online and angry from stupid things myself. the fact that i can see things now with a clearer mindset rlly helps. and getting off of this

stuff DOES clear your mind from being so caught up in all of this. news surrounding our world/country is important, yes, but sometimes genuinely not this important bc i actually feel like this is what has made everything even worse. this discourse that turns into like this insanity of everything. it just builds and builds

yeah definitely have better things to focus on. but i think it shows us humans were truly never supposed to connect this intensely maybe….not that it isn’t amazing in different ways. but humans have lots of group think and with our culture in media/entertainment and politics along with the use of global social apps….its kind of turned us into a shit show. but we are here. we have to learn to make it better. we need ppl to seriously actually get off their phones (not in a boomer way)

yes exactly. sydney is honestly pretty. ppl definitely have insecurities that can trigger an emotional response, which is valid. not saying oh it’s just a bunch of insecure ppl hating a beautiful woman. but it’s a legitimately possible scenario as someone who’s dealt and still deals with many insecurities! it happens! but there are so many different and better ways to cope with this outside of making it into a full scale phenomenon of some deeper, more sinister meaning to chalk up why they would

use a pretty (and insanely currently relevant!) woman for their campaign and assign the (actually very common. ) slogan of wordplay being genes/jeans to her. ppl are so wrapped up in everything culture arguments and deep insight into how they’re actually promoting this specific idea or concept. like don’t get me wrong i’ll have my own profound ideas on the world. but i just observe things around me and think and maybe write in my notes app. bc there is stuff to think abt of this world. but maybe

how we currently go about it online where millions and millions can share each single side and let the intensity grow is only going to lead us somewhere even darker than we might think. and i’m so sorry and im so glad you’re here! and yeah ppl say great genes for everything. and it’s a very exhausted thing to be like “you got good jeans” ☺️ but mean genes haha. or for jeans companies to do the opposite! theres companies NAMED great genes! also i think my dumbass stupid brain finally realized

what the phrase “you’re cute jeans” meant after all my life bahahah off topic. but for some reason i just never understood. but yeah it’s a common thing. i regularly get told abt “good genes” simply bc my family ages well. but we secretly have absolute shit genes and im wracked with mental and some physical issues bc of it hahahahw

they don’t, actually. they said something abt a very basic scientific definition on genetics like genes come from parents like hair, personality, eyes blah blah. it was just supposed to segway into the genes/jeans bit. also it’s supposedly a tribute to a highly controversial, but successful jeans campaign back in the 80s that had a young actress, like maybe 15, giving a scientific explanation of genes before talking abt jeans. not exactly sure if it is or not but i think. but anyway it’s not

saying anything abt some white supremacist ideal. its just a corny way they did their commercial with a hot woman. i mean they have blue jeans so it makes sense to have a popular actress with blue eyes so they can make that innuendo abt her eyes being her boobs everyone comments on lol. i mean they literally pan to her boobs in one commercial and says “hey my eyes are up here!” it’s just like if you’ve ever heard “you have nice eyes ;)” but they mean boobs lol. and yeah ppl need to breathe

Unfortunately I work in the news so I have to be up to date on everything for that, but the weekend breaks have helped me tremendously. It’s going so well that I genuinely didn’t know about the first Trump assassination attempt until a couple days after it happened 💀

It also helps though that when I clock out, I’m not contacted by anyone from work unless it’s something like forgetting to submit my time sheet, so I’m very fortunate in the fact that I can just ditch my phone on the weekends

i mean that’s especially good that you give yourself a break!!! i can honestly personally find keeping up with the news while still going on with my life at the same time veryyyy tiring lol. like i said, it’s important stuff and ik that, but honestly besides the first few months of the year i rlly haven’t kept up with anything at all bc i have extreme burnout from school, changing environments again, and just my overall life back at home esp due to my work schedule. i keep seeing memes abt 2025

being this insaneee year and i’m lowkey over here like worrying abt my bills and my mental health sm that im like “wait rlly?” i just genuinely think that while it is important to keep up bc it impacts us/others, it is okay to just give yourself time for yourself. bc you’re not going to get anywhere good if you neglect how you are doing for the sake of needing to keep up with news. bc the government alr runs our life in many ways and it does get tiring! but now it’s using up so much of our

attention it’s like how much more can they take from our ability to just live and be in the present with ourselves and those around us? i still am not doing well, but also the free time away from all of this has given me more time to explore hobbies like baking or even just doing my nails. i found new ways to make my favorite food and i listen to podcasts that keep me intrigued. i enjoy my walks to the store. im still exhausted but instead of using the last of my energy for the news rn i am just

using it on thing that i am able to do for myself whether it’s things i need to do or it’s for my enjoyment. then when im ready ill be able to connect back into the world and have a better understanding of how much i can consume and where i shouldn’t push myself. ofc again you have no choice! but it seems you have a good balance, which everyone’s is diff, of being in the know and being present in your life! it makes you much levelheaded honestly and maybe we can get somewhere in all of this

dog whistles matter. nazis should live in fear they shouldn’t be laughing amongst themselves at our expense because we “don’t know”. also the ads were basically 1:1 copied from the super pedophilic Calvin Klein ad campaign in 1980 with Brooke Shields (who was 15). sydney sweeney is trash
