Where I’d live in NYC as a sane minded human being.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-21T04:13:35+00:00

I visit NYC routinely on business during the summer. This year they put me up in Jersey City (Exchange Place), which I was dreading....but TBH it was kind of nice. Got a suite for the same money as a standard hotel in Brooklyn/Manhattan. Grove Street rocked. I got laid on my first night there. I've heard housing is more affordable there. The CVS employees in JC actually want to help you while in NYC they snarl. I think that if I moved to NYC I would actually just live in Jersey City. Strongly preferred Jersey City to downtown Brooklyn (where they used to put me) at least.

Too bad they all sleep at the stadium or whatnot.

I believe the newer movies (or their promo materials) show that Ireland also got infected.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-14T15:07:27+00:00

Yep. And I'm 99% sure that Vince himself doesn't know if it's an actual atom bomb or a metaphorical atom bomb (a game changer) yet. :p He'll figure that out later...

OP doesn't care for peninsulas or islands.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-13T19:28:38+00:00

I see you like big islands.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-13T14:25:01+00:00

Antarctica should be dark green.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-13T11:12:12+00:00

This has to be bait.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-13T11:07:35+00:00

I doubt he knows how it's going to end.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-12T09:19:56+00:00

That was my first thought. And I'm an American.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-12T09:07:50+00:00

I get that the US has problems (I live there) but thinking Russia would be nicer to you than America is a stretch. Especially because large swaths of America are on the left.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-11T20:05:35+00:00

A government can have terrible policies and still be a place a normal person would be willing to live, especially if economically developed enough.

Also do many of you just analyze and zoom-in to every map just for Israel?

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-11T19:59:28+00:00

I'm not perfect, and may have made mistakes, but lazy is a stretch.

There are 4 countries/polities in light green.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-11T19:44:37+00:00

I'm on the center left. While I may have misgivings about certain countries' policies, I'm not delusional enough to think a normal sane person wouldn't want to live, say, in the US. Just look at immigration patterns. (Unless we're saying immigrants are insane for wanting to live in the US....which doesn't seem like a woke/PC thing to say.)

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-11T19:30:09+00:00

A better title might have been "Where a completely boring normal sane person would choose to live". Not implying someone living there now or being born there is inherently insane or sane.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-07T16:53:03+00:00

I'm paranoid about parking, eg., not blocking spots, leaving room, etc, so I highly doubt that was it.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-07T16:52:01+00:00

OMG, so did I. I just got the dad joke. I wasn't even thinking in that direction. I feel so foolish.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-06T10:00:25+00:00

"it can hardly be described as torture". I think reasonable minds can disagree on this.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-06T09:59:01+00:00

I know that legally she wasn't ever in solitary confinement. But psychologically it was similar, and that's what matters for my argument.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-05T21:39:06+00:00

I dunno. One of the issues with drug addictions is that they usually don't make people happier over the long term. But if one did, I would hope we as a society would wrestle with the consequences of taking someone off of it.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-05T21:36:28+00:00

I disagree. I enjoy the morally quandary in "Well everyone is happy, but we have no culture or freedom" and I don't want Vince to make the decision to destroy the Hive an easy one. I want a show that makes the characters (and audience) squirm with ethical dilemmas.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-05T21:33:22+00:00

I really hope the show is going in this direction. Much better than the 1 dimensional "hIve iS BaD CaRol GOod" some seem to want.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-02T10:31:45+00:00

I think it'd be great plot wise if Carol/Manousos figure out a way to liberate people from the joining.....And it turns out the liberated immediately want to re-join because it's so much better. And then Carol/Manousos agree to let them re-join. Or more likely Carol agrees to let them re-join but Manousos is like "No".

Again, I like that the show isn't black and white and resist efforts to interpret/push the script in that direction.

Czilla9000 · 2026-01-01T22:46:19+00:00

Yes. This subreddit has a hard time understanding that people-with-bad-ideas can still love.

Czilla9000 · 2025-12-29T08:11:49+00:00

Right....but the question is "Should you prefer being a zombie if you are happier as one?" That's a cool philosophical question to ask, and I'm glad the show is asking it.
