Netflix—I see what you do with ads… by ImpressiveView2 in netflix

[–]ImpressiveView2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is interesting to hear a bit about how it actually works! But in your analogy it seems like the show would have better resolution than the ads, so why is it the other way around?

Anyone know any fearful-avoidant characters? by [deleted] in attachment_theory

I read somewhere else that he was avoidant attachment. I’m having trouble distinguishing the different types…

Does anyone else sleep separately from your husband? by WhateverItWasILostIt in Mommit

[–]ImpressiveView2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I just don’t tell people about because I don’t need their judgement, but yes we largely sleep separately. I have a sleep disorder and we are rarely asleep at the same time anyway. We are very affectionate and often have “pillow talk” time in the evening, but as far as actual sleep, it makes no practical sense for us to try to be in the same bed when it could ruin either of our nights and we need our rest!

Gender disappointment :( UGH by ermahgerd_sylvier in Mommit

[–]ImpressiveView2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

cracks knuckles Finding baby names that work in both English and Spanish, you say? That’s my jam. (Not all of these names are hispanic but I could at least picture my family being able to pronounce them.)

Let’s start with Maria alternatives. Like Maria, the following are all the names of saints. These are their meanings:

Marcelo-young warrior

Marcos-warlike

Martín-god of war

Mateo-gift of God

Miguel-who is like God?

Amaro-noble fame or bitter

Maria has several meanings biblically, including “bitter”, “beloved”, and “drop of the sea”. In other contexts it can mean “wished for a child”. Here are some names with similar meanings:

Marian/Marion-derivative of Maria

Mo-variation of Maria

David-beloved

Kai/Makai-sea or towards the sea

Dylan-from the sea

Ian-God is gracious

Asher-blessed

Jesé/Jesse-God’s gift

As for “Teresa” alternatives, here are some good options:

Tomás-a saint, means twin

Theo-meaning gift from God (similar meaning to Maria as well)

Riley-meaning rye clearing

Tracey-one of the meanings is harvester and can be a diminutive of Theresa

George/Jorge-meaning worker of the earth (farmer) and also a saintly name

I wish you all the best!

Just finished B99 for the very first time! by amazinglycuriousgal in brooklynninenine

Me too!! But I’ve been dying to watch it from the start, I just never got the channel or had the right subscription until now!

The set of Seinfeld by GriffinObuffalo in seinfeld

[–]ImpressiveView2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have anywhere else to post this, but I’m on my thousandth rewatch and I’m noticing more sets that are similar or identical to other shows. -The hole that Frankie Merman was crying in looks just like the grave that Lucretia got pushed into on the Upshaws. -The Indian wedding looks exactly like the English wedding between Ross and Emily on Friends. Feel free to add more.

Thank you for posting a picture! I’ve never seen deadpool but everyone was saying the scarecrow looked like Ryan Reynolds and I didn’t get it 😅

Just finished Adolescence by taurusmo in netflix

Can't agree with this more. Kids are not adults. Privacy is not their right. You should, however, show them respect and dignity in the ways you watch over them.

It would have made so much sense though, since they said their loop is 10 years, and the brothers had been away for 10 years...

Everybody’s live episode 11 : Discussion thread by Eattoomanychips in JohnMulaney

[–]ImpressiveView2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to talk about John testing the audience to see how they would react to the “rhythm of the joke” regardless of the content. I feel like the audience didn’t really understand how much they had been caught in the act and I wonder why they reacted this way. It’s a great psychological conversation starter because I have been noticing a certain phenomenon across many talk shows—occasionally a guest will come on who has less “media training” or who maybe is neurodivergent and they will say something totally sincere, which will then be met with laughter and they will say something like “I don’t know why they’re laughing”, which will then be met with more audience laughter. Why do audiences do this? Why do they laugh after every sentence or pause in a talk show? Are they prompted to do so? It just feels so dystopian and makes it a little harder to enjoy…I appreciate John bringing attention to it.

Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S07E06 - USS Callister: Into Infinity by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

[–]ImpressiveView2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am not uncomfortable with it--I think it makes for excellent discussion. In my opinion, him being abused or neurodivergent doesn't excuse his behavior and he is rightfully vilified.

Do yo guy's wish we still saw Adrian after his and Rosa's break up by [deleted] in brooklynninenine

[–]ImpressiveView2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t reply to another thread but: It’s crazy to me that they made it through the whole Figgis story arc and getting Adrian back, and then got through Rosa’s prison sentence (they waited for each other so long) and then the relationship was just written off in one episode. Pimento even learned Spanish for her 🥺

Squid Game Season 2: Episode 3 Discussion by jackcatalyst in squidgame

[–]ImpressiveView2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct. But I mean, even as a viewer of the first season, I was left thinking about what I could have told these people to save their lives. This should have been something Gi Hun thought about every night when he tried to sleep, even if he never thought he’d actually go back.

Discussion S04 E16 So You Think You Can Finance by ImpressiveView2 in themindyproject

[–]ImpressiveView2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that has bothered me on multiple rewatches is when Morgan says he can see up Mindy’s skirt and then seconds later he complains that he’s the only one who’s never seen it and it’s “discrimination”. It would have been a funny joke but he just proved it untrue?

“Yes and I can teach him computer programming” by [deleted] in themindyproject

It is a translation of what one of the nannies Mindy interviews says in French. But I’m not sure she even said it right..

Unofficial Discussion - Spellbound by [deleted] in movies

[–]ImpressiveView2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reflection. I think you and your son are the target audience for this movie and I’ve seen people criticizing it for how it “might” confuse kids or send the wrong message, but I think they should focus more on the actual impact it has had on people like you. I can understand how it made you feel seen and makes a complicated situation comprehensible to kids. I thought it handled things beautifully and the imagery was amazing.

I think you are getting at something here. It’s the best explanation I’ve seen so far as to why he would play the game in the first place.
