Reject! This! Slop! AKA, Curating a Life I Don't Need to Run From

This is the twentieth episode of a podcast I'm calling Vicsplaining. It's just a nonsense podcast where I, Vic, explain my life to you and how I see other things.Fun fact, Woodchip speaks at 36m 7s!**CORRECTIONS!!** At 45m 54s I start talking about the woman who coined the term “incel,” short for involuntary celibate. I state that this person is transgender. Upon further review, this is false. The creator of this term is bisexual, but she was deeply inspired by trans, queer, and polyamorous communities to have a term that encompassed her feelings around dating (Peter 2016). At 1hr 17m 51s, I incorrectly state that Tehran, Iran contains 90 million people. For clarification, The entirety of Iran contains nearly 90 million people, give or take, where as Tehran, their most populous city, contains 9 million. Topics Covered (Timestamps incoming): 0:00 - Personal updates: Ramadan, sobriety, being a first-gen law school hopeful, breaking up with my therapist38:19 - Kehlani and “life is too short”, short tangent about celebrity culture and “making it out”44:12 - Looksmaxxing1:10:42 - War with Iran1:30:34 - The AI Arms Race - Anthropic, ChatGPT, and TechnofascismContent warnings: Swearing, some discussion of religion, primarily Islam in the context of Ramadan and Christianity, alcohol and recreational drug use, discussion of imperialist violence, particularly bombing, financial distress, discussions of misogynoir and misogyny, discussion of personal mental health struggles, particularly regarding Vic’s OCD, abortion, some references to suicide and suicidal ideation, mortality and existentialism, body image, dysmorphia, fatphobia, mentions of eating disorders and orthorexia, some graphic conversation depicting sex and sexual activity, some ableist language, discussion of nuclear bombing, murder, so-called AI-Psychosis, and some discussion of gun violence. Citations: https://docs.google.com/document/d/161JX6hLVwo7ZUEfUFwC227TQyczleGNRJxvanMilRjM/edit?usp=sharing
