Basically, his point was to critique the perception of racist jokes in public but went a bit too Zizek with it. I won't tell you you shouldn't have an issue with it but he's obviously making a critique of how racist jokes are used in public by going with an exaggeration. For Zizek, who isn't afraid to offend, to first put it in a hypothetical of a hypothetical, it's very clear he isn't racially abusing anyone, he doesn't take its use lightly, and isn't just saying it to say it.

I understand the miscommunication in the xqc clip. The guy asks him if he believes in the Big Bang or Pangea (which he calls Pangrea). xQc interprets this as a "you can only pick one" type question and gets confused. So when the other guy badly explains Pangea as "it was all one thing, and then it split apart", xQc asks "the whole world (meaning the universe) or our planet". Because "it was all one, and then it split apart" when applied to the universe is like a simplified version of Big Bang theory, but when applied to our planet it's a simplified explanation of Pangea.

The Zizek interview is so easy to explain. He would find ideal more nonsexual intimacy, so he'd wish there was a way to get past the sexual part to the actual fun part to him, which is getting to know a woman. Its a somewhat groteque metaphor, but he uses striking imagery to get his point across cuz he works under the assumption that the people listening to him can read between the lines, an assumption which is clearly wrong

[@MugenHeadNinja]

I think Zizek is also making a point that (worrying about) sexual performance and the superego are negatives to the overall romantic and sexual experiance so getting that out of the way through his metaphor would make the eventual intercourse deeper and more intimate.

I agree. Obviously Zizek is a bit of a weird guy and he isn't really conveying his point well, but what he means is pretty clever and makes some sense. The sex toys represent the very primal and sensory aspects of sex, as they are what people use for self pleasure, so if a couple can let the sex toys take over that work, they can focus on the emotional and romantic aspects. At least, that's what I'm getting from it.

[@zants_]

I still can't get over the DoorDash vs frozen food discourse, but maybe it's fueled by the fact that I can't tell where the line blurs between actual discourse (if there even can be such a thing lol) and trolling/memeing. There's no shot that someone under the weight of depression/anxiety/etc. thinks it's easier to figure out which business they want food from and which delivery service to use, go through all the menus selecting their order, decide a tip (and in general, swallow the financial cost of the delivery), wait there in suspension while their order can be delivered anywhere within an uncertain 60 minute window, and meet the person at their door (this part alone, the awkward social interaction, makes it unfathomable that people find this easier). Compared to: grab food item from freezer, open box, put in microwave, know exactly when it'll be done, eat, back to bed cocoon. I honestly wonder how much the single piece of silverware that the frozen food uses is playing into that idea of it being more effort (dishes, for some reason, become a herculean task when depressed). If so, and I hate to say it, but just buy plastic utensils - they're cheap as hell.

[@woutertron]

I'm pretty sure it's just because getting food delivery feels like a treat/luxury so you get that dopamine. Whereas frozen meals just feel sad

I can tell you from my own experience that at my lowest points i ordered take out like once every 3 days for like at least 4 months. But also not really eat anything in between.

@ Oh that might actually make sense, if I understand what you mean. You'd get a large amount of food delivered that you could eat for a couple/few days each time?
