Introducing Shoot The Sh*t, an interview-turned-photoshoot series diving deep into the "why" behind streaming’s top personalities.
Here’s a sneak peek at the first episode featuring @Enable
Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped.
Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped.
Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.
Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.
Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.
Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.
I'm sorry I'm depressed, I just did NOT bet on the total American collapse of respect for all humane and humanistic knowledge and literacy in my lifetime. Retrospectively, I should have, but I was under the naive impression people cared more. Even here. I know, I know.
Scrolling is pure evil. An hour of brainrot doesn’t just leave a hole where something meaningful could have been but also actively degrades the machinery you’d need to fill that hole.
It corrupts your capacity for sustained attention. Books become harder, conversations feel slower, your own thoughts start to bore you. Over time, the range of things that can hold your interest narrows until you’re left with a shrinking circle of stimulation that only the algorithm can satisfy.
It erodes your relationship to yourself. Curiosity fades. Compassion requires a kind of patient attention that atrophies. You stop wondering what you care about because the question itself feels effortful. What’s left is a stable, “comfortable” numbness. Not only five years subtracted from your life, but a slow hollowing out of the person who would have lived them.
The forest service does lots of things, but they're the frontline in fighting wildfires. There is literally no issue Republicans aren't maximally evil on. You cannot hate them enough.
