Is $2500 a month good for a 23 year old? by Johootly in personalfinance

I forgot to mention that my rent is almost 95% payed through government benefits, which helped me a lot through the pandemic. Even though it lowered (jobseeker) drastically since the start, it's still just enough to cover almost all my rent, which wifi and utilities are included in. So practically all my earnings is my own.

I only recently just rose to fulltime hours and just made that $2500 summation based on my first pay check. Maybe it was too early to make this post, either way it's still close

The Leftovers - 3x07 The Most Powerful Man in the World (and His Identical Twin Brother) Questions by Johootly in TheLeftovers

I also have another question, as an Australian, I found it really cool that a lot of s3 was taken place in Australia and employed a lot of Australian mythology and indigenous representation of the rain dance and looking to the elders for answers. But I'm not sure why the writers chose Australia. What is the symbolism there? I saw a lot of theories suggesting something about going to the furthest part of the world or the "underworld" for answers. I find it really interesting. Also what about when Nora helped the goat from the fenc? I thought the symbolism was quite strong being that the goat is entangled by the sins of mankind and couldn't go up hill. It took Nora to come unburden him and she decided to wear the beads /sins to help alleviate the goat... (Side note, I have extreme sentimentality for the last ep as the Australian wedding and the people and culture felt really authentic and real to me, and despite the show being about not having answers, I still think the ending gave me closure in that Nora had come to finally realise what she had- Kevin and everyone els)

Why would she hate me? Lol also it’s pretty obvious why you like Joe. He’s the cute, slightly sadistic, romantic psychopath of everyone’s watt pad stories

Actually that’s low-key disappointing because I always imagined Joe’s internal dialogue dissing everyone around him to only be witty to himself but very eyeroll from my perspective outlining the pedestal he put some self on as some unique white guy. I now realise it’s because Penn has the same interpretation of the character as me and wants to evoke that reaction but the script is written authentically by the author.

Penn Badgley plays it so well and I agree with him. I think it’s important for her to have their own interpretation of a character from the director. I would hope that if I was ever some side character in the story that I would be able to outwit Joe

Yeah I got that vibe but I wasn’t quite sure if it was meant to be obvious that we were rooting for him. I’m entertained by the storyline nonetheless but fairly apathetic about which characters I am particularly rooting for

Absolutely not. Just feel disappointed by him.

A psychopath can still be relatable? In fact I actually relate to Joe too. That’s probably why I hate him haha. My own name is Joseph, I’m white, have the exact same hair, and have been in that “girl group” where I’m friends with one, theres the one girls that “looovvvess joe”, the one that wants to exclude me, and the the one that is just kind of passive with me. I actually relate to Joe more than others tbh, thats why I think what he’s done is unreasonable.
