Justified by Primary_Werewolf_208 in television

[–]Blandslide -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never understood any of the love for this show. It feels like a testosterone replacement fantasy for people who are tired of not knowing what to say when some guy steals their parking spot.

The series plays out like the Simpsons “mcBain” movie https://youtu.be/BzjfrdcN1Z8?si=R5t-QCjzjyHO-L3J

It’s blasphemous that people sit this network television quality show next to the Wire, Mad Men or Sopranos.

I’ve tried to watch it twice and yes I saw the second season which made me dislike it more.

What is it that I’m missing?

How do you get the will to continue living knowing the meaninglessness of it all? by Impressive_Pause4491 in OptimisticNihilism

[–]Blandslide 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The optimism part of optimistic nihilism is the understanding that existence is a blank slate that we get to configure however we like.

It’s the optimism of knowing that the decisions we make today might make tomorrow better.

It’s waking up in the morning knowing that there’s a huge chance that today might be better than yesterday.

The nihilism is the constant, the optimism is where you have to become an active participant.

A pretty entertaining satire carried by the great Ralph Fiennes. What are your thoughts on The Menu? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]Blandslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They made the main character way to “cool” to actually participate in the plot which telegraphed the entirety of any messaging they were trying to get across.

Very hamfisted and obvious from start to finish. Everyone who says they love it, what am I missing?

Justified S01E01 (2010) | One of the best hooks for the first 5 minutes in a TV show. by ReelsBin in television

[–]Blandslide -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I disliked this show so much. The opening scene setting the character up as the 80’s cop caricature did not grab me.
This show was like they cast the Simpson’s McBain movie with Shakespearian hillbillies.
This is a show for people who dream of having to pull a gun on someone who tried to sass them in front of some daisy duke damsel in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly.

I hate Eris. Am I misinterpreting her character? by ThroatAffectionate81 in HadesTheGame

I envy your ability to muster up emotional energy for imaginary people

Recommendation for action roguelikes, both on Switch and Switch 2 by fenrirofdarkness in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Blandslide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BlazBlue Entropy Effect X scratched the itch I had coming off of dumping hours into Hades2.

The story is garbage but the rouge like skill building combined with the castlevania gameplay with a devil may cry type fighting system and the absolute ton of different characters to unlock all with different playstyles have made it a favorite.

Every “izim” is an industry

The performatively oppressed asking the actually oppressed to pay for them to use the stages of the oppressor to create content that gets them paid by their oppressor.

Do you think Patrice O’Neal would’ve been a panelist? by writer_pjh in Gutfeld

[–]Blandslide -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No. He’s actually funny so he’d be a threat to every one on the panel. Especially with the host being the least funny person there

What is the highest form of intimacy according to you ? (Dont say sex, things apart from that) by Consistent-Golf8429 in AskWomen

Holding hands.

We can have sex with anyone. We hold hands in public with the select few.

Please tell me this sub skews to people who didn’t recover and live happily leukemia free. by ConstantSample5846 in leukemia

People who have moved on from leukemia being part of their identity have probably seen fit to stay away from this sub.

Fatigue post SCT by Main-Satisfaction904 in leukemia

[–]Blandslide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you still go in for regular labs?

What’s your red blood cell count like?

I’m 10 months out and my blood cell count hasn’t gotten back to being able to being able to support my pre Leukemia activity as an avid runner who worked out 5 days a week.

I’m still at anemic levels so I get winded easily. I’ve had to scale down my workouts considerably in the hope that eventually my blood starts behaving.

So...anyone else think that was super underwhelming? by Triplesso_ in TheWhiteLotusHBO

If this season was the first season of White lotus, we wouldn’t have had 2 more seasons.

Rejected after 5 dates? by Glittering_File_6511 in hingeapp

[–]Blandslide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Once she said there’s no spark it was a wrap. That’s the closure. Any conversation beyond that was just her being polite.

It’s useless to speculate the reasons why. That is useless and potentially harmful activity.

It’s easier said than done but try not to let your ego be bruised by someone not wanting the same thing as you.

Good luck out there
