The ones who liked it will say it’s good, the ones who didn’t like it will say it’s bad. I think the best is to try yourself and see how you feel about it.
There are a lot of layers to this drama and I love this. Feels like if I were to rewatch from the beginning, I would uncover new subtle layers of the plot that I’ve missed. The drama is packed!👏

“ Oh, I noticed — just making sure you weren’t gearing up for another epic climb or a sequel to this saga.”… those are totally different topics, how can they be sequels to this saga? I hope you are ok.
“ But if you’re suddenly feeling that the hills aren’t thrilling enough and the cozy comfort of logging off is more your style, well, who am I to stop you? ” I just listed some topics, why would I log off? I could just say “there are no more hills” and be done? But I listed a few.
“ Adventure isn’t for everyone! 😅” Glad those topics sound adventurous to you! Which one would you want to start with?

“ Let me know if there’s a new hill you’d like to climb next.” did you miss the part where I answered this?
“ we can wrap this up before it turns into a full-blown saga.” Just say you are not interested in the hills you asked me about and you want to log off 😅. I did say they were not appropriate for here but you asked so I answered.

“ thesis gods give their blessing. And yes, he just wants your “general location,” not your coordinates or a retina scan.” they are just professors and yes and he could be asking all that as well if it’s required so we never know.
“ Let me know if there’s a new hill you’d like to climb next.” The hills I’d like to honestly climb next are not ones that I think would be appropriate on here like “high maternal and infant mortality rates.” “The relationship between Lyme disease, Toxoplasmosis and gender dysphoria” and “suicide being the number 2 killer in children ages 10-14”. Do you have any interest in that?

“ If he ends up moving forward with it, feel free to send his email and we’ll go from there.” He says “ok great! As long as you are willing to share the general location, thank you.”
“ And yes, I think we’ve covered the background actors and AI topic pretty thoroughly.” hmm… I didn’t suggest nor mentioned it again. We already agreed that it was done and I asked you if there was another topic from this thread that you wanted to discuss?

His professor will like to know the general location because culture can affect how a person acts.
“ After all this emotional labor?” what emotional labor? A behavior you displayed during the exchange was interesting to him because he is writing a thesis on an aspect of mental health. You will be used to support a diagnosis.

“ here’s 17 follow-ups just in case.” Please point me to 2 of those different follow ups?
“ starring role in someone’s thesis” he said it’s not a “starring role”, just a paragraph or 2 out of a 40+ pages thesis. He is asking if you are located in the USA.

You are the one who kept bringing twists, I stayed consistent 😐.
Yes, he said he’d love to have your feedback if he gets to write about you. In that case, if he gets the ok, I’ll just dm you his email and you’ll take it from there. I don’t think I’m qualified to know more about what you will discuss about.
so instead of improving working conditions, your solution is to replace background actors with AI...?
Idk all the details about the thesis but if he is ok to ask you the question, he will send you the part where you are mentioned if you are interested in reading it. Since it’s almost the weekend, I’ll be able to get back to you by next week. I believe you’ll have to exchange with him over emails if that’s ok.
I think we have exhausted the background actors and AI topic? What do you think? Any other topic from this thread that was maybe raised and you’d love to share your understanding of what was said?
so instead of improving working conditions, your solution is to replace background actors with AI...?
Really?? Oh thank you so much! He was nervous about me asking you but thank you. It’s for his thesis… anyway, I’ll send you a dm if he gets the “green light”.
“ Thanks again for your consistent dedication to not caring.” no need to thank me for that ☺️, clutching my pearls helped a lot!
Hmm… idk if you want to continue exchanging today or if you are done? I’m fine either way, I still have a few hours that I can spare you. Let me know!

“ Also, thrilled to hear my brain has left such a strong impression.”.. oh yes, it definitely did 🫠.
“ I absolutely believe you didn’t care — nothing proves indifference like time-stamped dedication and real-time group commentary. ” you do understand that the lack of care is towards the actors/AI situation? But I had time to entertain exchanging with you because I was curious to see how long you could go. You understand this, right?
I do have a question for you because someone brought it up when we were talking about your responses but at the same , I think it might be too personal to ask on here. The person who asked is also in mental health field but is unsure about the ethical part of asking you this. Is it ok to message you once the person confirms that it’s ok to ask you? It doesn’t fall under consultation, it’s mostly curiosity on his end. Is that ok?
so instead of improving working conditions, your solution is to replace background actors with AI...?
You still don’t get it 😮😥 “ Ah, of course — the “I didn’t care, but somehow stayed fully invested for hours”… I don’t care about the background actors and AI. I stayed on here replying to you because 1) you kept talking and it’s polite to reply. 2) I had time to engage with you today so that was fine. 3) the topic was not why we were amazed at your replies not your stand on the background actors and AI stand.
“ And thank you for clarifying that I was the topic. I’ll be sure to update my résumé: “Accidentally became the main character in someone’s group chat sociology experiment.” Prestige stuff.” de rien ☺️!
“ into a quilt of “I don’t care” monologues. ” they were not monologues, you were engaging back.
You should change the title but yes, I’d have loved to see these slides. The way your brain processes information is interesting.

“ Nothing says “I don’t care” quite like rallying a whole side chat to analyze it in real time.”
Yes, I personally didn’t care and I didn’t change my stand BUT someone asked me what was funny and I showed the thread with your answer and next thing I know, others were curious about what else you’d say. I had free time so I continued the engagement.
“ right before you sprinted back to reframe it as a misunderstanding. A true art form.” I think you are confusing yourself with me? I’ve been saying the same thing over and over again with maybe 2 examples.
“As for nuance — it exists in the space between “I don’t care” and “but let me write you six paragraphs explaining why I’m still correct.” That’s where the real performance lives.✨”
But that’s the thing, I don’t care and no one wrote a 6 page paragraph? What we discussed was how you expressed yourself and not the background actors. You were the topic of interest.
“ But hey, if this little exchange gave you all that much content, I’m honored to be the unwitting guest lecturer in your private seminar. Next time I’ll bring slides.” You are welcome 🤗! PLEASE DO! I wish it was possible, I’d love to see how you put things together.

“ You just repeated, “not my hill,” like it was a philosophical mic drop. Meanwhile, the rest of us moved on to higher ground.”😂😂😂 which higher ground? The “clutching the pearls” one? Or the one when a few messages back you acknowledged a few times that I was right yet, found a way somehow to introduce misunderstanding from your end? “Higher grounds”, yet still here back and forth with me, I appreciate being part of the illusional “higher ground”.
“ Honestly, that might be the most productive thing either of us accomplished here. Growth!” tbh, it is not. I have to be honest, a few of us on my end used this exchange to prove a point somewhere else. So throughout this, a discussion with other people was started. It was truly fascinating. That discussion was more interesting and that’s why I kept engaging with you. You gave us a lot of material. We thank you, it’s a good thing with our handles and profile pics, there’s still anonymity.
“ Yes, you don’t want to sound principled or engaged — mission absolutely accomplished. If this was a test in being proudly indifferent while congratulating yourself for it.” Thank you ☺️, I honestly was starting to doubt myself, you didn’t seem to get it.
“ Wouldn’t want you to get lost in nuance again.” 🤣🤣🤣 where is that “nuance” if you agreed with me that it was possible to look at both sides of the issues?

1) I’m afraid that if you make a poll, you won’t be able to understand the answer properly since you’ve shown your abilities 😕.
2) “ But repeating “this isn’t my hill” doesn’t suddenly make you sound principled — it just makes you sound committed to disengagement with flair.” I think you finally understood me? I don’t want to sound principled and disengaged on this issue, I really don’t so I think you FINALLY understood me 🤞.
3) “ I guess it’s the radical choice to challenge apathy instead of dressing it up as philosophical neutrality. ”
You didn’t challenge apathy at all, all you did was to show me how much patience I had online and I thank you for that!
“ if shrugging through ethical debates is your brand, at least you're consistent.”… this was NOT a debate 😂.
