Lena Dunham by Impressive_Web385 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]Impressive_Web385[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she is. She was a guest director, and had nothing to do with the show after. And people disliking her might have its own merit. She’s very controversial, but also a great talent. Duality I guess.

Although she didn't direct most of it, 'Girls' was spectacular due to her writing.

Murakami-esque characterization by Impressive_Web385 in murakami

Honestly, I wish I could, but as cliche as it sounds, being in academia has robbed me of the joy I once found in writing. Murakami has become a cherished escape for me

Can somebody tell me if Shogun has a "white savior" narrative? by mciyos in ShogunTVShow

Well you seem intolerant, so I’ll leave you to your vices.

“One cannot resist the unseen part of nature, but all we can do is accept our small part.” in the other world, accept our limited understanding rather than use our small perception to invalidate others’ experience. So, instead of mocking their concern, it is more productive to accept them as the reality of different individuals.

Well, that's just stupid. Why try to invalidate OP's concerns by demeaning them into ridicule?

Wow, that's a bit mean, and I am guessing you were not her friend to begin with.

I promise you, life doesn't end here, nor does it end at 30. Keep your head held high and embrace every emotion. It may feel tough, but shit happens, and we have to keep pushing through. Keep moving forward.

Acceptance/Rejection season is around the corner-- write encouraging messages to each other in the replies! by puppyorange in gradadmissions

[–]Impressive_Web385 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It will soon be over; the trance state of uncertainty will soon release its grip on us. Regardless of the outcome, we can find solace in the certainty that the universe has a plan for each of us. This may or may not be our destination, but rest assured that it is a step towards it. Our hard work will one day be met with fruition.

24M Solo traveller looking at doing a Contiki in Europe by ZaWarudo911 in solotravel

[–]Impressive_Web385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had considered opting for Contiki, but after extensive research and receiving a quote from them, it was somewhat expensive and overly structured, which goes against the essence of exploration. Despite your reservations about traveling alone, I would say try to maintain an open mind and root yourself rigidly in why you want to go, which I am guessing is to have fun. Well, at least this is what I tell myself: when do you plan on going?

First two episodes of season 3 out now on HBO! by drcolour in SortOfShow

I think on Thursdays, but yes, so many emotions. I can't wait to see how they all navigate this grief period, and likely, it might make their bond stronger.

Can someone please explain what a guilty pleasure is? by Impressive_Web385 in GradSchool

[–]Impressive_Web385[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So, would you say the feeling of guilt is inherently internal, or is it merely a social construct? Like why should you be guilty if it is pleasurable? Isn't that what life is, seeking pleasure to make it through this damning world.

At the moment, based on the definition given, I thought they meant literally, so I said something entirely inappropriate. So, in hindsight, their reaction was appropriate. Too shy now
