What school of philosophical thought would defend following one’s passion and not wasting time on things that don’t fulfill one?

Reply to You don't see young goths anymore. by tximinoman

Tragically, young goths were all wiped out in the tsunami of adulthood that swept across the continent about 10 years ago. Their population has not recovered. There is some hope that a resurgence in the popularity of early aughts emo music may help the young goth larvae pupate to maturation, however longitudinal studies take time…

Reply to Somewhere, during the countdown to Y2K, someone's power went out and they probably thought the world was ending. by YourAverageTylerFan

My brothers friend was in the countryside outside of one of the two largest cities in South Africa- I don’t remember which- and they happened to lose power at 11:59 on New Years Eve 1999, and they 100% thought it was the apocalypse for like 5 min. (There’s a chance that either my brother or his friend was just full of shit and that never happened. There’s also also a chance that my brother confused Singapore with Johannesburg, or something silly like that.)

For sure. I see the hand clap thing a lot, though.

Some ultra low budget things will have someone hold up a piece of paper with the scene number or whatever info (so the thumbnails are clear) and then someone else will put their hands in front of it and clap (one clap).
