My personal brand is that I was studying abroad when the first Avatar came out, returned home, had no idea what anyone was talking about, decided it was none of my business, and continue to keep my nose out of it to this day
it's that time of year when a bunch of people start pretending their personal distaste for the avatar franchise can bend reality in their favor against the inevitable tide of james "big jim" cameron's next guaranteed blockbuster smash hit. you can ignore them, they are fools

I’m still thinking about this and it really is one of those “everyone thinks Elon Musk is a genius until he gets involved in your field” moments. I’m gonna be a total bore and think about this seriously, please don’t read on if you don’t care what a landscape architect thinks about this shit… 1/?

I've scrolled through several dozen gift guides and have said "I don't need that; no one needs that; nobody could ever even mistakenly conclude that they need that" under my breath as I scrolled past every single item, which is a pretty clear indicator that I lack the constitution for gift guides
