I've been backdating on things here because gosh darn, it's much easier to tune out on writing and just watch some good TV shows instead.
Marvel's The Defenders peaked much too soon in the climax of the series, but does set the characters up well for their respective arcs.
Now Westworld, that's a different beast. Essentially non-linear (mild spoilers) and leaves you scratching your head up until episode 3, it's mixes the brutality of humanity along with the prospects of transhumanism. My cup of sci-fi nutjob philosophy set in the near future.
And for the main event, my rants on why Tinder is so polarising:
- Swipe Right to find out! (instead of using this actual space to write, you know, a bleeding bio)
- empty bios/ "ordinary person" trope. (Thanks, that was very enlightening)
- *insert vague motivational quote heavily (and usually horribly) paraphrased to insert some sort of unwanted gravitas*
- Bringing up all the past experiences because I need to know your rich history of failed exploits and botched relationships and how you're still salty from them
- (this, I'll get stick for) Grammar and spelling!! Words, properly constructed and curated to make a sentence flow! Maybe if you've some quip, layer bits of personality in there and not just come across as being boisterous.
- (now I can't take a proper photo myself) Work those pictures! Filters are only good for colour-correction and prevent you from looking like every other boring, cardboard-cutout person using this platform (to me, I know but this is my space so I'm unapologetic!). Pictures convey what words sometimes cannot. Show your personality, don't just laud it.
- Here for friends, love my boyfriend! (Facebook = social app; or Meetup, or tweak your settings, or just ughhhhhh not be on a dating app!)
- Tits
All in all, don't fall in to conventions and conveniences. You are fucking unique and talented and gifted in your own way. So quit hiding behind a facade of what you would call a "persona" and express yourself!
