He solved a puzzle the writers gave him and concluded his purpose and then Burt’s character was made to be different and then ignored the new character description anyways to conveniently send the character away.

Its already been contrived enough to point it out as such and will be legitimate as an overarching issue if it continues yes.

Rest of the season was pretty great but you can feel easy answer writing, so I am calling out the early symptoms of it. It’s as legitimate as my opinion as far as you are willing to listen to it.

Oh sure. But for now he’s just on a round trip out and back in so that we don’t have to ask where he is for the finale.

I had no doubts from the fact that they put the character on a train to nowhere. It’s not a decision when faced with the question of what to do with a character next. It’s “exit stage left” so that you can write yourself out of a hole with them later.

Its a good show but the writing is lazy insofar as they don’t have a plan and are giving themselves easy ways forward or out of jams.

This is definitely a show about emotional feelings of the situations. It’s not really what I would call an exploration of any topic other than what they think humans would be like on an emotional level being put through a world with the setup it has.

It mostly nails it to through execution but man it’s a show of vibes and triggering your empathetic response far more than it is any good for commentary.

Honestly it’s all skin deep and not as smart of a show as the praise makes it.
Literally the show performs one of my least favorite tropes for lazy writers that want to write off a character but don’t want them dead or have to figure out a good character arc and then even has the gall to act like it was poignant with a literal:

Train To Nowhere

Such a sexist statement. To both genders.

I heard her talk about immigrant labor and the joy if it being cheap for cheap products and realized she wasn’t on our side but money’s.

She’s just young, female and talks occasionally to the populace like she gets it and agrees that things are bad so she’s given a lot more leeway than the other members of the party. Its all fundraising though.

“Alert when phone picked up”

Was the name of the setting turned on. In the motion settings.
Still not sure how they could have named that harder to find without writing it in Korean.

I hate that my music player is now relegated to a tiny nub at the bottom of the lock screen that defaults now to google ads for sports betting unless you turn it off.

Also my phone now randomly vibrates every so often, just gently enough to think it was imagined and I think it’s to drain the battery faster to push people to buy a new phone. But that’s just conspiracy from how garbage the rest of this update has been.

Well my sister called me to complain about how it’s bullshit that she can be kicked out of an apartment for not maintaining minimum living standards and then casually dropped that she pissed someone off enough they shot her in her leg and thinks it’s the fault of a cursed box from a librarian.

I’m also covered in and deet smelling weed killer…

So let’s go with an 8.
Maybe 6.

Glad to make your morning with my news letter.

And notice I didn’t call myself better. We are all equal trash. Humans suck and this place is a condention chamber of that shittiness.
I am just aware and not against the backlash of calling others out for it while working on myself.

Lemmings sure do have as much of an issue or more with the upvote/downvote system.
Its used really poorly and more of just a litmas test for same think.

Truly the title of lemming is appropriate, doubly so since people will likely quote the myth of it here thinking it makes them somehow not a victim of lemming behaviour as used colloquially.

Idiots and the uninformed love bullies, they assume they must be bullying people that deserve it, instead of just whoever makes them feel stronger.

Oh agreed that this is really important. Literally he is taking a seat on a council of 100 people who are supposed to be the best and most representative of their constituents and yelling about people being nice to him. He needs to step down.

But also the comments in here are smug. Lemmy is not a place for nuance or empathy but vague superiority based on some form of intellectualism that is not owed or earned.

People just feel good about complaining about him and view it as a space to dish out their milquetoast worse. Nothing here is helpful for the real world.

Nah you just start that way and never change or adapt your understanding of anything. Heck you are already there with being able to misread comments and jump to conclusions about other people’s statements cause it makes you feel better if you think they are looking down at you thus giving you early permission to be condescending back.

You make a great lemming and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise cause… Well, in proper fashion you won’t listen.

No unfortunately you have to develop your own life.

°_° -_- °_° 

Nah I can close this app and not care to check for days.
I want a news link aggregator and a vibe check on where the social liberals are at culturally and so I check here for both.
I have no intention of having the frequent comment and post history of those seeking validation and witnesses for their life actions.

I get the added bonus of about 1-2 hobbies with nearly empty communities though so maybe one day I will blink twice for you.

Edit: there is no formatting syntax escape I guess.

As if people are nice here.

Lemmy is for being smug 3rd party and reconfirming your own self held superiority for the basic act of being here.

It was built by a lack of tolerance towards and from others.
I also think we shouldn’t tolerate him taking up one of only 100 seats of an important job while he is unwell and should do so privately.

He really thinks he is king of the world.

I mean all that PTSD is why America had the prohibition in the first place.
Wives were getting abused by their husbands back from the war and said they seemed on edge and worse than before… So, “it must be the booze and not shellshock cause they are tougher than that”.

The world changes and reacts to its new conditions its just a shame people are morons and evil little shits 8 times out of 10.

Oh how I long for the sweet bitter taste of ironic onion.

But nope. Way to much actual meat and gristle in this story.
Fuck these people who keep thinking the suffering of others is good for internet engagement.
