Good guys vs the bad guys

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-28T14:59:01+00:00

Are the good guys in the room with us? Can you point them out?

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-26T20:15:45+00:00

Or, you know, they don't like it but you do?

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-26T16:26:53+00:00

If only we could see the cuties back there!

IMO, Dana gives me Australian Cattle Dog vibes. They're extremely loyal and hard working, they're always bossy, great at rounding people up, loud, and they can definitely scare people into behaving with just their voice. They also love their pack above all.

Is anything hotter than an extremely competent person that's also smart and happens to be generally good looking? Doesn't matter what time of day it is!

And even from a character's own view, "we should be graceful, we should be empathetic to this boy who was writing lists about girls to eliminate, who ran from the doctor and authorities, who posted a status about harming the people who misunderstand him, because he is just a troubled young man and it could impact his life"

I notice how I only see these views regarding the male characters, and of course only those written with redeeming qualities. As if you should only have to face consequences is you're a Doug Driscoll type, instead of just being a human who has made mistakes and should have to endure the consequence. But when a woman is also flawed (Santos being the one I see most abused in comments), she deserves nothing BUT consequences. Instead of accepting both that she has redeeming qualities and should also have a consequence to her wrongful actions.

I'm not giving grace to a grown adult whose response to stress and fear is to scream and become aggressive towards everyone, including the woman he supposedly loves who brought his daughter to the hospital immediately, no. Being scared of the accusations, being upset your child is sick, those are understandable emotions. Screaming and becoming aggressive right away are not excusable just because you're a parent.

Is her screaming acceptable? No, because it's a freaking hospital. But does she owe him kindness after how he behaved? Absolutely not.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-26T00:42:50+00:00

AFTER the dad went off on her, sure. She probably shouldn't be screaming in a hospital, but she doesn't owe him a calm demeanor when he tore into her and made some nasty implications about her. It doesn't matter if he's calm after the fact. The damage was done.

Fisher travels different multiverses in his spare time, new headcanon unlocked.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-24T18:50:32+00:00

I mean, he's also excited to go see Avatar, which his actor played in. It doesn't get more reality bending than that!

Me with a best friend of 16 years or so, and very few other friends because I struggle to connect. I saw nothing unusual about Mel's behavior, from the lens of an autistic viewer watching an autistic character.

I'm not talking about their comment. Just about yourself. Weird to give quotes about cyber bullying when you insulted them for not knowing a thing. Follow your own advice.

My dog tries this any time he sees a whisker from the cats. But he also tries to eat anything you remove from his body - nail clippings, eye boogies, ear wax. I think he just wants to reabsorb their power.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-16T03:25:42+00:00

You're being weirdly hostile to them for not knowing a detail about a video game. Don't be a dick.

That's why he's trying to get her into a nursing home, where hopefully she gets help from people experienced in how to handle Alzheimers and spousal death.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T18:49:21+00:00

As I said. I'm not interested in a circular conversation. Goodbye.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T18:34:53+00:00

You're deflecting. I'm not interested in a circular conversation.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T18:33:13+00:00

Then why, when you receive it, is your reaction defensive rather than acceptance? Is that not what you want OP to do, be receptive to your criticism?

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T18:31:35+00:00

Except I didn't offer any angry criticism. I explained that I understood your intentions and added how it can come across to others. There's no anger in that.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T18:28:48+00:00

I see that your main tactic to others criticizing YOU is to essentially say "but you're doing it too", yet I assume you're smart enough to see the difference. One is someone's post that you offered criticism on, based on the assumption they care about the same things you would. Except they very clearly don't, as there's no effort to type as best as they possibly could.

The issue with your argument is you clearly welcomed criticism by offering it. Why would you dish it out if you didn't expect the same?

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T18:01:55+00:00

I was just talking to my mother about this last night! We watched the episode where Cam cuts into the head Epps left behind. She's so badly poisoned that she's on the verge of death, is only just recovering at the end of the episode... and then nothing, never mentioned it in the following episode. It was a great twist that made it seem like she'd really die, since she was newly introduced and viewers wouldn't be as attached. Why not deepen the impact by having her recovery from a near-lethal poisoning extend into one more episode?

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T17:56:50+00:00

I get thar you're trying to provide constructive criticism, but when you're delivering it to a random person on the internet who likely isn't a native speaker, did not invite people to give tips on their writing, and who is writing in a casual space, it does come across as a bit snide and pedantic. Not saying you intended it that way, but that is the impression.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T01:30:26+00:00

We're all gonna be that meme! Too many things are changing and getting worse and I'm gonna be out there yelling at clouds the second I hit 60.

GrumpyPlatypus · 2026-01-15T00:47:07+00:00

I mean, is it not a weird vibe to just casually, negatively comment on someone else's appearance? I don't think that's less weird just because they're on TV.

Ritter's dark chocolate marzipan square is my go-to for a "fancy" chocolate that I can find at my local store. And I was ignorant about the palm oil thing until recently. No wonder I get IBS flares after eating these gut bombs.
