      Invidious says it’s geoblocked. Can you describe what the video is about?

        It’s the scene from Total Recall where the character in the top comment keeps repeating the phrase “Open your mind…”

      Whenever anybody tries to talk about anything strange and significant you people get defensive. It’s as if you actually prefer to be boring, mediocre and shitty. You’ve got a deathgrip on it.

        I’ve found that a lot of times people who are very interested in a given topic will see it everywhere they look, and as such, shove it into any conversation possible.

        “What did you do during your trip to Egypt?” “We visited the pyramids.” “You know, aliens may have built those.”

        It can get old very fast.

        I’m certainly guilty of this and as someone with fairly nuanced interests that touch on common topics, am regularly asking myself if it’s contextually appropriate to bring up my particular perspective in a discussion.

        You literally jumped in on a quotation of a movie in response to a screenshot of that movie to try and have a discussion of Buddhist principles.

        Maybe you could do better at knowing your audience and reading the room?

          And you found it so darn offensive that you needed to ignore my point and insult me. I sympathize.

            Where did I insult you?

            “Wooosh” is a standard meme in reference to missing the point of a post or comment.

            There was an entire sub on Reddit about it.

            If you are getting offended at memes, perhaps it’s a good opportunity to exercise nonattachment?
