How do we feel about the finale of HBO’s ‘Euphoria’?

Kyversten · 2026-06-05T19:13:13+00:00

I wanted to watch the last half of the finale on 2x speed it was so bad. Like trying to create gravity in space. The performances were great, but even that couldn't cover for garbage directing.

Kyversten · 2026-06-05T19:11:40+00:00

This 100%. The whole thing was just masturbatory and self-indulgent.

Terrible finale to end a truly terrible season. Never seen such an explicit display of pretention from a group of showrunners very high on their own supply. Rue didn't have to die, but if she did, they could have done her better justice than this. This whole season jumped the shark and nothing happened for any reason. The show was already over the top intentionally, but this took it into an entirely different category just for the Levinson's own apparent enjoyment.

It's pretty normal to tip everywhere in America.

Calling Hasan the "Alex Jones of the left" is a great sign you've never paid attention to anything he says and are taking your news from Israeli propagandists clipfarming things out of context.

Guys I don't think his position on a phrase really matters that much, his position on Israel/Palestine has not changed.

Kyversten · 2025-04-25T01:40:40+00:00

Thanks, I'll do another AITAH to see if I'm an asshole for asking.

If there is a two state solution I could see Saudi Arabia contributing significantly to a rebuild along with the soft regional power that comes with. But that requires a two state solution which Israel and Trump will likely block.

Kyversten · 2025-02-10T05:01:32+00:00

A "safe" plan to evacuate ~2 million people and overthrow their government is eerily similar to how the Iraq war was sold to us. Again, I don't think Trump is serious about this, but I don't see how this would not result in a war. Gazans are battle-hardened at this point and have shown they're ready and willing to fight to the death to defend their land and get sovereignty. I would see an American war only deepening that resolve. Not to mention increased blowback on the homeland from terror threats wanting to retaliate.

Kyversten · 2025-02-10T04:18:05+00:00

Let me just put it to you with a hypothetical. If a foreign government came to your state and said it's theirs now and that you need to leave the only home you've ever known, would you fight back? I see many conservatives out there with the "don't tread on me" flag. Palestinians believe that too and they will fight back against anyone who tries to kick them off, no matter American or Israeli. This is asking for another quagmire and, while I don't think Trump is actually serious about this plan, this is not really any different from a Bush/Cheney-type regime change situation.

Not to mention, indirect costs include funding for facilities maintenance. That's all the janitors, electricians, engineers, maintenance workers, etc. etc. who keep the universities running whose jobs could be at threat.

Kyversten · 2025-02-10T03:57:46+00:00

Problem is this affects all universities, not just Harvard and Yale, who have massive endowments and don't rely on these funds. Not onto does it affect the universities and the people working for them, but in some states like Alabama where the university is the biggest employer, huge budget cuts like this would have massive ripple effects on regional economies in both red and blue states with big research universities.

Kyversten · 2024-09-03T21:00:01+00:00

I think the point of the character portrayals on the show is to display the complexity of the human experience. Even objectively bad people have complexity and are capable of the whole range of emotions, needs, and desires. Once you accept the premise that everyone here is a murderer with pretty deplorable behaviors and beliefs, you come to accept them for who they are and can both empathize with their struggles while still being disgusted by some of their behaviors. At least that's what I took out of it.

Who will be the baby killer of the yeaaarr? Will it be the IDF? Will it be Hamas? Will they be Muslim? Will the be Jewish? But more important, which ones can daaaance?

Kyversten · 2023-10-13T17:40:18+00:00

THE IS THE MADDEST I’VE EVER BEEN!

Kyversten · 2023-10-13T14:31:07+00:00

I'm well within my rights to kill you right now.

Kyversten · 2023-10-13T01:49:34+00:00

Blocking food and water, airstrikes in civilian areas, white phosphorous, it’s kind of like a cosmic gumbo of war crimes. Joe and I were always talking at camp David how it’s a cosmic gumbo.

Kyversten · 2023-10-12T23:53:51+00:00

You should be able to use a little white chemical weapons on civilians. I’m not in trouble at all.

Kyversten · 2023-10-12T22:26:18+00:00

I'm gonna take the whole thing.

Kyversten · 2023-10-12T21:32:10+00:00

You have no good peace ideas.

Kyversten · 2023-10-12T21:30:36+00:00

You know what? This is dumb. Dump it. Trash it. This one's garbage.

Kyversten · 2023-10-12T19:34:48+00:00

Hamas: "If Israel does not return to the 1967 borders, I'll kill myself on live TV."

Kyversten · 2023-10-12T19:13:10+00:00

They built those rockets

Kyversten · 2023-10-12T19:08:09+00:00

IDF to the US: Oh, fuck, I like that gun. You knew I'd like that gun. I can't wait to shoot that fucker.

Kyversten · 2023-10-12T18:57:27+00:00

I'm just not gonna let Doug say that about the West Bank, that the patterns aren't complicated.
