i might not care for it on halloween either

you realize you being so invested in someone doing what you want is a leeeeeeeetle crazy yes?

im speaking as a friend here. you need to chill it with these fantasies. you do this shit in real life?

is the man in the truck real? or is he an alter ego? o wait he’s real and just left the truck there. did the cop go nuts? or was it his dad. oh it was his dad! did this happen? did i dream it? did he hallucinate it? is this a flashback? is this a dream? is this a kind of thing everyone writes for tv these days?

i get that you like it, but you need to understand that not everyone has to like it and the world will not end if this happens. yes?

i understand that the show is a puzzle the viewer is meant to put together. and it might never be put together. it’s how “lost” hooked millions. everyone wondering what it all means. and i understand you loved “lost.”

...“lost” had zero appeal for me. ZERO. could not fucking stand it. it hurt my eyes.

it’s not about shit “working out”, it’s that beyond the bleakness i didn’t like the whole aesthetic and method of it. i didn’t like the characters and i didn’t like how they reacted to stuff and i didn’t find the situations really interesting. it was more like “everyday schlocky”. it’s like being around a bunch of people i can’t stand watching them fo stuff ive seen on many other tv shows. like getting trapped in the supermarket for the rest of my life.

demonyo made a sane suggestion and i gave him the courtesy of a consideration. i know that he understands different people have different tastes, and if i don’t like it again in the end he’s not gonna melt down and jump off a bridge. :D

seriously i think you have a problem with this, hahahaha. it’s funny... but it’s also not.

Sorry, so... you think I — genuinely, “IRL” — care what you watch?

Jesus fucking Christ, man.

I appreciate the condescending little faux diagnosis, but I’m bitching about it because it’s fun.

This is the internet, where I can get amped about dumb shit and be obnoxious. I don’t really have any personal investment in what you do or don’t do. Would be cool if you watched it and liked it, would be fine if you watched it and didn’t like it.
If you liked it, maybe we could talk about it. That would be neat.
But not half-watching it and not liking? is definitely gonna earn you some trolling from me.

Because, again, this is the internet.

I don’t even know you.

But yeah, the guy in the car is real. I only questioned his reality for a moment. You’re clearly not even ignoring the show right.

lol.

Slambang thinking’s he’s keeping me up at night with his bad takes... Woof!
I honestly *wish* I had the time to be bothered by such things. It would be a blessing

Hahahaaaa

Really quite disappointed in a totally different thing now.

Symbols thinks my life is here.

Would almost be insulting if I gave half the shit you think I give.

THE LEFTOVERS!

Funnily enough, that ^^^ is pretty how I’m picturing you right now.

You must be in the nap phase at this point. Oh well!

Guess I’ll have to wait for the next hunger cycle to get my next helping of free-range asshole.

Oh hey, there ya are again! You must really care. Which is funny, but also, y’know, not.

And he’ll respond with another gif and/or insult in 5, 4,...

(Jesus fucking christ)

I’m watching What We Do in the Shadows

Just finished season 2 of BARRY (so good)

Kinda watching this NBC show Good Girls, which is just derivative as hell but it has Christina Hendricks soooooo...

And for some reason I’m taking in GoT season 1 episodes in my “I have nothing to do and nothing to watch” hours, few though they may be

y'all shut the fuck up about hating other peoples suggestions being shit or not. Just accept that what you like isn't the same as what others like. :D

y'all should read this thread once again:

Sticky: Be nice to each other!

Anyway:
today and tomorrow on the telly is:

Formula 1 race in Monaco

anyway, watched a couple of episodes of FIRST CIVILIZATIONS this week. PBS show.

http://www.pbs.org/program/first-civilizations/

the first episode advances the disturbing notion (not new, but still disturbing) that civilization is not the opposite of war but actually the result of it, and creativity and prosperity flourish after war’s conclusion, but because of war. in other words, the unification/pacification that replace the divisions that existed before the war allow for a new greater prosperity. “creative destruction,” a la schumpeter.

they do a nice job of matching the mesoamerican archeological record to a disturbing/compelling narrative that encompasses geographical advantages, developments in agriculture, weapons technology, the spreading of foreign cultures... and massacres and subsequent growth.

ep2 is about religion and group identity, and looks at egypt.

...

ep3, “cities,” heavily features both ur in mesopotamia and modern-day tokyo :D
deals with specialization, cooperation, and the exchange of ideas

...

ep4, “trade”, looks at the indus valley. sewers two millennia before the romans! mathematical designs. no great kings to be seen, but apparently a more “middle class” trade-based society (while it lasted).

been catching up with season 1 of GREAT DECISIONS IN FOREIGN POLICY, aka GREAT DECISIONS.

pbs show now on amazon

https://www.greatdecisions.tv/about/

season 1 is a couple of years old and some of the info is slightly outdated, e.g., brexit coverageis dated, and the new saudi king and the kashoggi murder and quartering are not covered— but it’s close enough that one can piece it together with recent news.

pretty good: good subjects, great guests, bingeable, can’t complain

also, importantly, concise at 26’ per ep.
