but fundamentally, structurally, you are paste, bred as paste, completely expendable, destined to play roles any number of other people could fill just as well. no one will notice you while you are alive and no one will remember you once you're dead.

even if you get a partner, commit, you're even expendable to them. they'd be just as happy with any number of other people, happier in fact with most other people. you just happened to fill that vacancy. you'll do for now. what difference does it make?

That film is a key reference point for what's being discussed here

What was the second one like?

I literally am not a paste person but I keep on forgetting. Writing a job application just now made me remember.

What was the second one like?

i wrote a famous review of it. it made corpsey cry.
