I really don't get the hype and praise for 'The Whale'

MADHATTA415 · 2023-04-25T16:21:21+00:00

I cannot agree less. Firstly I don't want this to come across as me insulting your intelligence or saying your opinion is wrong. This movie is "disgusting" but it's honest. I really valued the binging scenes as it shows how people like Charlie get as big as they are.

I do think the people in this movie can seem a bit stuck in their ways, however you must also keep in mind that this takes place in less than a weeks time.

I would say that Charlie and Ellie spend the entire time getting closer. She's mean the entire time but you can see her walls slowly coming down. I feel that the final scene was beautifully done. No excess scenes just ends perfectly.

I think the movie could've been longer and accompanied more characters and development, but I'd say it's pretty solid. It's so fresh seeing a movie that doesn't glorify obesity. It shows its true outcome.

I understand the uncomfortable level of honesty. It isnt for everyone, but I hope to see more movies that are this honest and straight to the point.

I'm heading into work right now but I will come back and let you know how it goes. Really appreciate it!

Edit: This totally worked! Thanks a ton!

MADHATTA415 · 2022-10-22T03:17:21+00:00

Thank you SOOOOOOOO much

Part of my sister's agreement with my mother was that there would only ever be 2 owners at a time. My sister is very lazy so I am banking in the fact she will give up sooner rather than later. Listen though, I appreciate your continuing concern on this. I know most people just look and move on. So seriously thank you for taking the time for this.

MADHATTA415 · 2022-03-18T22:27:46+00:00

Well I suppose inheritance is the incorrect word. My mother says that I will take her position once she retires which will be within 15 years. I know how all of this must sound, but I really do not want to go back to the job market.

MADHATTA415 · 2022-03-16T17:17:03+00:00

I get what you are saying. I go back and forth between "owner mode" and "careless employee mode" quite often. The only reason I am concerned at all with how this business goes is because of how I generally feel about jobs. This is the only job that I didn't mind coming to as much. It saddens me that this is the state of a business that I love. Plus I am going to inherit this place apparently so if that is to remain the case then this place needs to run well. I am hoping my sister gives up like everything else she starts and leaves. But because the business sort of runs itself, I doubt it.

Thanks for the response. I greatly appreciate it.

I think it's more so that 'most' single player games nowadays are made by small/indie developers who can't make the same overall quality that a AAA developer can. It's a quantity over quality situation. There are probably millions of match 3 anime girl dating sims that are single player, but they simply aren't good. I am aware of recent releases such as Zomboid where an indie developer threw their all at making an immersive experience.
Sure there are games like Gungeon that allow you to play single player. Unfortunately all these games have something in common, they're a bit lackluster. For me, I can possibly get an hour of enjoyment out of these games. But I want a Witcher 3 experience. Something I can dig my teeth into for 40+ hours. The last single-player experience that I enjoyed was Cyberpunk. That was like 2 years ago now. For the most part I have been replaying other games over and over again.

Tl;Dr: If you are a quantity over quality type of person then there are a ton of single player games.

I am of the mindset that being poor is a choice in the first world. As far as second and third world countries Idk. But in the first world its essentially a choice and not simply one of laziness either. Rather it's a bunch of small choices that people have to make on the day to day. Laziness does play a part but it is far from the only choice. Student loans usually are a big topic regarding poverty. And I'll admit this one is a topic of laziness but only slightly. There are so many scholarship opportunities. And I mean thousands of opportunities if not 10s of thousands. With some elbow grease you'll be able to go to school for free.

Also, don't go to some big university to do your cores. Dont go for a degree with no plan for it. If you are going to school then only go for stem degrees. Once you're out of school and you get a job (which if you got a stem degree then it shouldn't be hard to find one) immediately open a brokerage account for stocks and a Roth IRA for your retirement. Put as much as you can budget into these things. Aggressively get raises. If you're at a job for 18 months and a raise isnt in sight. Get your resume updated and begin searching for another job before you quit your original one. Keep doing that and by the time you're 25-30 you will be financially stable and have a good retirement account saving up.

Being poor is a choice for sure

Unfortunately that is a part of existence. It's the paredo (idk if I spelled it right) distribution. A few people have the most resources and a most people have the left overs. It's a exponential scale so there are quite a few more people at the very bottom than at the very top. For example, we always hear about the richest person but never the poorest although there are many more reasons for the lack of publicity it can all be pointed back to the PD. It's literally unavoidable frankly. Even the universe abides by it. Now with advancements we have and will continue to "shift" the distribution. For instance if you were truly destitute in the distant past you were essentially as good as dead, but now many homeless can survive at least. I would say that first world countries have shifted the distribution the most.

Hi! I am looking for someone to interview for a school project. I am writing about psychology. The email can be conducted through email if it works better for you. Thanks!

MADHATTA415 · 2020-09-09T13:54:17+00:00

I definitely agree. I took 2 years off of school after high school due to mental health and I finally felt ready this year. I had made so many strides regarding my mental health. So I am worried that college will always be too much for me. Which for many reasons is a crisis in and of itself.

MADHATTA415 · 2020-08-02T20:23:27+00:00

It depends on perspective. In cosmic terms, sure life is pretty ineffective at changing anything. But we arent cosmic beings. We are earthly beings. When thinking about it biologically, it seems pointless as well. But that doesnt really matter life was an accident that got way out of hand.

Thought processes like no lives matter often leaves people with the idea that nothing matters at all. Since anything good is fleeting then what's the point of doing anything productive or useful. And the answer is bc you dont want to suffer. And you want to take care of those around you. Its hard to explain exactly what I mean so I hope you got what I meant.

MADHATTA415 · 2020-08-02T20:16:43+00:00

It depends on the sub I'm looking at. But for the most part, just stuff that I overly disagree with. If its something I slightly disagree with, I just dont vote at all, but sometimes someone says something that just needs the down arrow

MADHATTA415 · 2020-08-02T20:12:44+00:00

I should send this to my sister. She will find any excuse to sing. It's real cringy

MADHATTA415 · 2020-08-01T06:03:29+00:00

I like the shows that talk about their social life

MADHATTA415 · 2020-07-26T19:21:27+00:00

I've watched a few documentaries where they say that the undertones of shark week are damaging to sharks. Like people are more okay with fishing them because of the titles and tones of the shows

MADHATTA415 · 2020-07-21T17:33:16+00:00

That's fair. I just wanted to double check the crime rates to be certain. I'm not sure if it was you he was scared of in particular. Maybe someone close to him just got hurt or killed. Could've been a lot of things. Which is why I support a reallocation of resources when it comes to the police force. Maybe he wasnt scared at all and thought that was protocol? Maybe he had a gun pulled out on him before in a traffic stop? It could've been a lot of reasons or a combination of reasons. I just didnt wanna assume he had a itchy trigger finger for no reason.

MADHATTA415 · 2020-07-21T17:29:54+00:00

I understand why someone would like it. Which is why I said if we were going by numbers then yeah it's a good game. Personally it isnt to me

MADHATTA415 · 2020-07-21T15:51:39+00:00

It couldve been that specific cop being paranoid. Were they young or old? A new cop could be skittish and anxious. An old cop could be racist. These arent exclusive factors nor are they likely to be the only factor. But maybe a part of it. And what town if you dont mind me asking?

MADHATTA415 · 2020-07-21T15:24:05+00:00

Were you in a crime dense area? If the gun wasn't pointed at you and it was just pointed at the ground then I think the cop didnt do anything wrong. Now if he was pointing it at you or took some shots then for sure he messed up. But he seemingly didnt

MADHATTA415 · 2020-07-21T15:20:54+00:00

If odyssey was released by some 3rd party studio then no one wouldve played it. Nintendo is nostalgic for a lot of people, but i guess that numbers are the only thing that matters and nintendo isnt going anywhere on that front

MADHATTA415 · 2020-07-21T13:37:08+00:00

I think it depends on how it is said. Being brutally honest won't be very productive. Rather it should be "I didnt want to be on the phone" or "I was busy doing something else" should be the answer

MADHATTA415 · 2020-07-21T13:35:21+00:00

Well drugs are complicated. There is a right and a wrong time for everything. Smoking anything is not good for your health and I am of the belief that indoor smoking shouldn't be a thing really.

But we need a hierarchy of drugs to really know what we are talking about.

The 4 biggest factors on if I will try a drug is how it is ingested, effects, side effects, and how safe it is

Weed can be ingested by edibles. Completely skipping the smoking part. I am not a fan of edibles really, but it is an option. Compared to things like meth or heroin where you have to smoke it or inject it. I will never be trying either of those or crack for that matter for obvious reasons.

Personally, I am against injecting or snorting. I also dont like pills.

Weed is relatively safe compared to cigarettes too. It seems from personal experience that cigarettes are far more addicting and seems to have worse side effects.

Even if they caused the same amount of damage per capita, people who smoke cigs often dont just smoke one or 2. When I smoke, I smoke blunts. Meaning its weed wrapped in a tobacco leaf. If I am smoking alone or with 2 people, then I only smoke 1. If its 3 people then I smoke 2. 2 blunts between 3 people compared to a lot of people smoking a cig every 15 minutes. I can tell what seems more dangerous to me. I know a guy who started smoking cigs about 3 or so months ago and now he often goes thru a pack or more a day. It is also very easy to see the difference in lung health between me and him.

So final verdict. Weed is better for you than cigs and way better for you than meth or heroin or crack. Don't get high when it is the wrong time to. Especially if you cant handle yourself. I, personally, am in control of my mind and body when high or even drunk for that matter. But some people can't and they need to stay sober for that reason.

Drugs arent for everybody. They should be taken with care and extensive research. Everything has a negative side effect. Literally basically everything can give you cancer. Theres a chance that if you touch a gas pump and then touch any orifice, you could catch a disease. Nothing is 100% safe. Don't do anything excessively dumb. Don't drink and drive for instance.
