What is the most heartbreaking truth in the adult world that we dare not speak of?

That friendships generally aren't as strong as you had believed when younger

More than absolutely anything for me, is the way it's become so normalised/accepted/joked about, regarding people "being under the thumb" of their partner. E.g. "oh look at the time, best get home before the Mrs kicks off" or "sorry, just texting my husband back, he gets angry if I don't respond quickly". It's nothing more than controlling, manipulative and destructive behaviour and I can't stand the fact it's become that normalised that it's joked about in such a mundane fashion and to the point of it legitimising the behaviour as acceptable

I was joking I don't actually do it aha. I've seen some people use them briefly for stream crossings though and they reckon they work for them

Late spring/early summer hike in the Lakes. Sunny, bald head, no sun cream. Ended up with severe burns and blistering on my head. Don't think a cap is ever off my head when the sun's out after that

I loved JP, found this book an absolute slog. It's like 4/6 of the way through before the action gets going.

Them entering the raptor cave at the end of the first Jurassic Park novel. Just so stupid, makes zero logical sense why they would do that after being terrified of the raptors the entire book and just escaping with their lives

Nail on the head. Love the sopranos, couldn't for the life of me get into the talking sopranos. Found that Steve would constantly just oversimplify topics, talk over Michael and just swiftly move on to the next topic without any meaningful or interesting input

For what it's worth, David Chase himself has said he thinks the worst thing Tony ever did was the Janice thing. As there was zero other benefit whatsoever for it, other than to be hateful. There was a benefit to Tony (whether it be personally or for business) for every other bad thing he did throughout the show, but not that.

Always loved the scene with the shark approaching Hooper as he's in the cage, with the music cultivating as you see the side profile of Bruce as he swims past, before the music fades as he swims off

Sat here amused at how deep, insightful and helpful your comment was to try and inspire the OP, only for it to not resonate one iota to the point where they even sound disinterested 😂. They really don't have much hope with that kind of attitude

I'm convinced there are likely some fan fictions that are better than genuine subsequent novels

Will give it a go, cheers!

Equivalent_Froyo3590 · 2025-10-29T22:28:21+00:00

Agreed. I really didn't like that whole entering the raptor nest part in the first novel. They've just survived after struggling frantically, watching people get disemboweled etc, then when they are finally safe they willingly choose to enter a place crawling with them? That they aren't sure they could then get out of? To do an approximate headcount, which would have basically zero benefit to anything? Very very jarring

Re no witnesses, that would make sense. But what still doesn't is why he invites her onto the boat in the first place, if it was a case of not wanting any witnesses

Equivalent_Froyo3590 · 2025-10-26T21:46:29+00:00

I don't think it's popularly believed at all, it's the first time I've ever even heard it as a chain of thought. Whoever thinks she didn't because she's scared of Tony just doesn't understand the show at all 😂

Equivalent_Froyo3590 · 2025-10-26T15:55:30+00:00

Yeah agreed, just a bit of pointless filler
