  • there are two reasons for that!

    older older movies often didn’t have much sound design, you heard what the people on set heard and maybe one sound effect or two if they wanted a gunshot without shooting guns on set

    most movies today are sound mixed for cinema, which almost always has a very expensive set up of speakers with one (or two) central speakers reserved specifically for dialogue. noticed how when you’re at the cinema you don’t need subtitles as often even though you’re crunching through popcorn? but the problem arises when the producers decide they can’t be bothered to hire the sound guy to make a separate sound mix for streaming or DVD and just mince the 7.1 speaker mix through your stereo headphones, squishing all the dialogue together with everything else without a care for the physical differences in playback










  • oddly enough my last dentist visit was my first in like 6 years, and i got complimented on my teeth too, the only note was “drink less tea” and that’s not happening lol. and i just brush with a normal toothbrush twice a day (sometimes, usually once)

    so in short, idk why i got told i need to put in so much more effort


  • i was told flossing should be an at least 20min task (ideally 30min) + 20min of using those tiny inbetween teeth brushes, and that i should pay full attention to what i’m doing to make sure i’m cleaning my teeth well

    all that made me feel like it’s too much work and now i continue to just not do any of that







  • i was on medikinet for a while, at first it made me sleepy, then it made me relaxed, and then it made me anxious, so i stopped

    whenever i take brain-chemistry meds for longer than a week or two my brain defaults to having them give me anxiety which is whack (this happens with meds for anxiety as well, thanks brain! you gelatinous wanker). after multiple trials of various meds i’ve mostly given up on trying more, but hey at least cardio works as intended!

    i’m still bitter about one thing - all those people who kept saying “just eat healthy and exercise and you’ll feel better :)))” were correct 💀 at least in my case
