I did something I rarely do. I let myself sleep late on a work day. Not too late, but later than usual.
The last few nights I have had the worst sleep. Barely five hours on Sunday and Monday nights. Less than five hours on Tuesday night. I was practically in a coma for much of the day yesterday. I needed sleep so badly.
Last night? Almost seven hours. Still not enough sleep, but so much more than I’ve been getting. Bliss. I usually set an alarm on my watch for 5:00am. Jen has an alarm set for a half an hour after that, but I am usually down cellar exercising before her alarm goes off.
Today? I slept until a little after 6:00. It meant I was running behind throughout my entire morning routine, but it was worth it. I’ll still probably be asleep on my feet by around 7:00pm tonight, but for now? I feel a little better.
Okay then, part two of this post is going to deal with Star Wars: The Acolyte and it is ABSOLUTELY SPOILER FILLED. If you haven’t watched the show, bail out now. I have two stupid comments that are burning a hole in my tiny little brain and I have to get them out and THEY ARE SPOILERS so you have been warned.
Seriously… if you want to watch the show and you haven’t yet, get out now.
You have been warned… again…
Last warning…
Okay. So this is the same comment made twice. Once is me being a snob, the other is me getting mine.
Before the show aired, people online were over the moon about Carrie-Anne Moss playing Jedi Master Indara. People who’ve read the High Republic books and/or comics were all excited about what a bad ass warrior Indara is and how viewers were going to be over the moon at how awesome she is. Also… it’s freakin’ Carrie-Anne Moss. People were foaming at the mouth over having such an awesome actor in the cast.
Episode one… the first scene… Carrie-Anne Moss as Jedi Master Indara in a lightsaber fight. This is it! Here it comes… oh… she’s dead… oh.
I laughed out loud knowing that the internet would be turned on its ear over that scene. People were going to be pissed and it made me happy. Screw your expectations! Take that, know it all book readers! I was just tickled.
Fast forward to episode five. The episode was awesome. They saved up a whole season’s worth of action scenes and threw them all in our face at once. Just fight after fight after fight. It was fantastic. When Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon started fighting our dark side bad guy, the action was incredible. I was watching on my laptop and I thought to myself, if they want to do a spin off show where this kid just fights everyone, I will be totally, 100% on board… oh… she’s dead… oh… I guess that’s what I get for laughing at the Indara fans… Okay… I totally got what was coming to me. Serves me right for being snobby about people being snobby. Lesson learned, Acolyte. Lesson learned.
Okay, the spoilers have ended. You may go on with the rest of your day now. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I appreciate your patience.

A quotation from Fry, Stephen:
«
There is simply no limit to the tyrannical snobbery that otherwise decent people can descend into when it comes to music.

Just been reprimanded for cutting my finger nails at the front door, I don't see what all the fuss is about, it's not like I had my d*ck out.

The answer is simple... #Priorities
#Snobbery , #classism , and a culturally accepted #hatred of the #poor

> For us the legendary strongholds of snobbery are the Hollywood studios, where two thousand dollars a week dare not talk to three hundred dollars a week for fear he be taken for nothing more than fifteen hundred dollars a week.
In an essay, #MannersMorals and The Novel, #LionelTrilling on #Snobbery in #Hollywood reminded me of similar obsevations by #DouglasRushkoff in the book #LifeInc. I wonder how much of this was covered in #VancePackard's The #StatusSeekers?
> Snobbery is pride in status without pride in function. And it is an uneasy pride of status. It always asks, “Do I belong—do I really belong? And does he belong? And if I am observed talking to him, will it make me seem to belong or not to belong?” It is the peculiar vice.. of bourgeois democratic societies...
#LionelTrilling on #Snobbery
Why so much bullshit? Money?
> The characteristic work of the novel is to record the illusion that snobbery generates and to try to penetrate to the truth which, as the novel assumes, lies hidden beneath all the false appearances. #Money, #Snobbery the ideal of status, these become in themselves the objects of fantasy, the support of the fantasies of love, freedom, charm, power...

@VigusMaximus In a twist of fate, I am having beer instead of whiskey.

@joseph @lauren True, but it can become "evil" when pointing out #FediverseHurdles or #MastodonHurdles is responded to with techie #snobbery ... every time a #newbie expresses frustration with an unintuitive #ux and the response is a haughty #rtfm, you're likely to lose a potential new addition to the #community. We should all aim to make newcomers feel welcome, and an #intuitive ux is essential to that.
It's important that those who work on bringing the #fediverse together don't fall into the #snobbery trap when they hear #newbies complain about the navigation within it. We do understand that we're not in federated clones of #fecesbook or the #birdsite but those sites became popular because they did do some things right. People want #news, #community and #entertainment, so it's important to make navigating such areas of human interaction #intuitive and easy.
@spongepaddy not unexpected with boats. But I would have thought we get a better class of person on airplanes #snobbery
