Every time I try to read anything from the pinknews website all I see is a blank page.

I was thinking of it more in a work context where when I question why some old and very inefficient work flow can’t be optimized in some way, I get that cliche in response.

If it’s a fictional show, not usually. But I’ll often play reality shows like Shark Tank or Naked & Afraid or a crime documentary while I do chores.

“It is what it is”. This cliche is symptomatic of learned helplessness and only serves to protect the status quo against any sort critical analysis and reform.
