what’s you favorite kind of sandwich? where do thoughts come from? who is your favorite fictional character?
probably a shrimp po boy. i’m honestly not quite sure where thoughts come from but i suppose they come from everything? your brain’s reaction to and processing of external stimuli? and i’m verrrry indecisive but most likely peter parker or hermione granger, just the characters that influenced me the most when i was younger.
looking for a good place
so I finished the good place two days ago and i’m still not over the ending. Like holy fuck I have a love hate relationship with this. I’m honestly so sad because it was a really good ending that fit the characters well and stuff but I really didn’t want it to end. It’s like gravity falls all over again and that’s not vibing well with me but I’m just being bitter and sad
The Two Moods, according to Chidi Anagonye
i know this completely disregards what the movie was about but i don’t care 🤣🤣🤣 dr. randall mindy is autistic sorry it’s true he literally gets called “a little slow” in the movie
also i think dr. mindy and chidi anagonye would be friends (both autistic [headcanon.]…both professors…connect the dots.)
the good place is an autism show tbh all the main characters are on the autism spectrum i could elaborate if u want me to.
Season 3 episode 4 of the good place
Will forever be my existential crisis
(I know the good place ended a while ago and yes this point has been made sometimes in the last Jeremey Beremey but)
YES CHIDI IT WAS THE ALMOND MILK!!!
it was the things that made life a little better (the weird film that he lives so much) that had unintended consequences that even if you knew about them you couldn't avoid them (so much of food production can be awful for the world, "healthy" alternatives that exploit workers) because life has gotten too complicated!! So yes, Chidi, it was your almond milk. But it was also your shirts and your car and everything you've ever bought because there's no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Yep, i am Chidi
A cucumber with anxiety
I am Chidi. Chidi is me.
Agreed.
We live in strange times when we see consumption in general, and media consumption in particular, as the primary way to put our morality into practice.
I was raised this way, to an extent. My parents would always buy free-range eggs. But they made a point to explain to me that it wasn't a virtue signal - it was a way of applying pressure. "Lots of people can't afford to buy free range, but we can, so we do it.' they said. "That creates demand, and in the long term that will make free range eggs more affordable for everyone". It was all very pragmatic and made sense. There absolutely are some situations where we can affect markets for the better by how we shop.
But that's not how you become a good person. You don't get heaven coupons for shopping unproblematically. It's just one of a range of ways an individual person can make the world a little bit better. Nobody can take part in every single collective action campaign. You pick a few, and you do them not to polish your halo, but because you think they actually have some effect in the real world, and you want to make things a little bit better.
But somehow we're all turning into Chidi Anagonye, and I don't think it's making the world a better place. I think it's making it a more anxious, less focused, more antagonistic place.
And somehow, the phrase "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" doesn't really comfort me. It's so very black and white, and it kind of misses the point, for me anyway. It still puts some kind of ethical valence on the business of buying things, and for most of us, for most of our purchases on most days, it really just doesn't matter that much. You need a thing, you buy the thing, you feel gratitude that you could do that, and you live on. Maybe you could afford to buy the fairtrade version, and you feel a bit more gratitude, because maybe you made the world a little bit better, and the fairtrade one is probably tastier anyway.
The sad truth is that those people whose purchases really tip the moral scale aren't losing sleep over building another beach house on a fragile habitat. The rest of us are just the little people living our lives as best we can. If there's a judgment, we'll be judged on things that really matter: how we treated other people, not which brand of washing powder we bought.
