This one will not bore you I promise. It’s like watching a train wreck but the train wreck is people who can’t stop ruining themselves. Some truly hilarious passages. The embarrassing people never become full caricature though, which is what kept me compelled. I think we all have a little “Rejection”-protagonist in us. Maybe that’s not so bad if we can recognize and face it. I listened to the audiobook, highly rec, but make sure you do so out of ear shot from all other humans. Bc if someone comes up to your work van while this is pouring out of the Bluetooth they will give you a concerned and disgusted look. My own mini meta “Rejection” moment

Ok stay with me here. Too much public filming. This is going to discourage good weird public activity. We need people being weird in public. Odd dancing, carrying around insane items, freaked out fits, etc. Instead of a quick vid to show your friends, or, god forbid, *get internet clout*, people should be sketching the scene and describing it in colorful language. Now you have to take accountability for your opinion on the matter, your draftsmanship and writing gets better, and the public freaks have plausible deniability in the job interview. This goes for drunk man on the street tik tok videos as well. Put on a newsboy cap and start jotting. There should be exceptions like intentional performances or heinous crimes of course. I’m open to other exceptions I just can’t think of any rn. This will never be a reality but i can try

Thought of this watching a PBS cooking show centered around local farmer and fisherman. Awkward pauses. Darting eyes. Canned jokes. I like this, it is human. I wonder if our arms race of conversation/persona monetizing is not good for us.
