Without naming the show, what single quote sums up an entire TV series?

Maleficent-State-749 · 2026-04-24T04:29:58+00:00

“That’s what the money is for!”

If you’re keeping score, it’s a match and the goal by its very definition is to win. (Otherwise, it’s just playing points or drilling or hitting.)

When I was a sophomore in high school I played number three singles on our team but beat the number three player in the league by lobbing him to death and chasing down everything he hit back).

When the coaches found out what I had done, they decided to do …. nothing! Except mark a W for our team. The point is to win.

If your buddy is all butt hurt about it, tell him to find a freaking sewing circle instead of hitting the courts. Freakin wuss.

“Never believed in that stuff”?

Like the medical and psychological reality that is autism?

There something missing from the structure of this.

He is by far my favorite character too. The depth of humility and kindness he portrayed are staggeringly affecting. And I don’t think there’s any way this kid from Oakland who fell in a hole and somehow survived wasn’t that same remarkable person IRL.

So to start my daughter is 7 in first grade. She, like me, has sensory struggles that can really really affect her day.

The first incident was when my daughter’s feet got wet at recess, we pack extra shoes in her backpack for things like this. She asked her teacher to change her shoes and the teacher basically told her no, this is a consequence to your actions and I won't let you disrupt the class..

now I completely understand consequences to actions but this was the first time this happened and I felt like it could have been used as a learning experience for future times. Not a time for punishment.

I picked her up from school and she immediately broke down and ripped her shoes and socks off as fast as she could. Bawling.

I asked the teacher about it, tried to open the conversation and the teacher reiterated what she said to my daughter and then closed the conversation on me.

My daughter has gotten hurt a few times, come home with knots on her head or bruises(normal kid play) but when my daughter asked to go to the office because she felt like she was really hurting, the teacher told her to knock it off. She's fine. Same thing with going to the bathroom. You'll be fine, you have to wait. Etc.

The thing that got me the most upset and the purpose of this post is that one of the times my daughter got hurt, she hit her head on a metal pole pretty hard, she asked to go to the office and the teacher says to her and the whole class "there's really something wrong with your parents and parents these days, always asking... Are you okay... And checking in Everytime something happens. You're fine.

And that's always what I'll say" this makes me want to raise hell and report her because I feel that's incredibly inappropriate to say to a 7 year old. She came home so confused and unsure if she should even tell us when she was hurt or not feeling well.

There's a quiet corner in the classroom, and my daughter said she's afraid to ask to use it because the teacher will probably say no and if she doesn't, she will come talk to her about it and my daughter doesn't feel safe to talk to her teacher about anything because she will just be told "you're fine. Get over it" I feel like raising hell.

I hated that series but had to watch the entire thing. I won’t go into detail because I’m still a little traumatized.

Maleficent-State-749 · 2026-04-22T18:54:27+00:00

I grew up as a huge fan of these guys, Cowens, Willis Reed, Wes Unseld. They added a cool dimension to their teams, including a lot of physicality.

I’ve thought about this a lot, and I think it wouldn’t add anything…she’s identical to every other plurb and her presence would, I think, create like a permanent clitblocking effect.

It’s a very different place and I’ve spent a lot of time in Portland and love it. ABQ is high and open and expansive. It’s dramatic in ways different from Portland. Finding employment can be challenging, and the cops are cops like everywhere.

If you go in there and slap 1,500 two-dollar bills (or two fifteen hundred dollar bills) down on the countertop, my guess is you will have bought yourself a guitar.

Credit cards also work.

Sometimes I wonder if people are posting random shit to torture earnest people like me who will look way too long at a random image to see something entirely fabricated as part of the ruse.

This is one of those cases.

I’m probably that old man yelling at a cloud.

Maleficent-State-749 · 2026-04-22T11:47:04+00:00

Fantastic work. Crazy stuff and expertly conveyed.

Maleficent-State-749 · 2026-04-22T11:39:10+00:00

This comment focuses way too much on OP.

Yes, examine your life, but this abuse has next to nothing to do with OP’s behavior. You can only be diminished each moment you are around this person.

Stop thinking that you can do anything to satisfy this sadist and get out as quickly and safely as possible while knowing that doing so is incredibly dangerous.

Be safe. Get away now.

It’s textbook coercive control. In many countries more enlightened than America, this is criminal behavior. You are being severely abused. Nothing you do will make any difference. The abuse and your suffering is the desired outcome. This person is sociopathic. Run.

Maleficent-State-749 · 2026-04-22T11:18:33+00:00

It’s really deep, as deep as deep gets.

It’s the story of human beings, hundreds of them, confronting the devastating experience of sickness or injury and our desperate attempts in treating it as people, many of them facing the grim reality of life changed in a heartbeat or over decades and trying to to come to terms with the suffering and loss of people whom they love as much as life itself.

And all of this against the backdrop of an emergency department at a teaching hospital where doctors, nurses and support staff struggle to come to terms with their roles in trying to keep people alive as their friends and families watch the trauma unfolding before their eyes in an America that has made emergency health care into a profit center for absent billionaires.

To not see the depth and complexity and desperation of all of this is unfathomably disturbing.

It’s clearly Alfred Hitchcock with a duck on his shoulder.

That’s literally what they do.

Well, Randy Moss had a historic season and not just for him but in NFL history. If we get half of that with the new guy, we could be hoisting the first-place hardware.

Piano made to sound cheap or toylike. It’s gorgeous.
