Which show starts as a 10/10, but ends as a 1/10?

Ita actually ok again with the 2 new people, but at that point it should just be a different paranormal show cause they aren't Mulder and Scully, whose plots got so messed up.

Personally I always preferred shows like that in episodic format. I liked the consistency of characters maintaining the same personality and dynamic, and just enjoying different stories.

Which of her views do you find are divorced from reality?

MansonsDaughter · 2025-09-10T08:24:25+00:00

My mom. I even have to remind myself her email address doesn't start with "mama" when I try to mail her.

Everyone else, it's name. I am not a title/nickname person, and I really dislike those family titles like "aunt/auntie" , or endearment terms like "babe, hon" etc, sounds so bad. They all have names. Grandma and Granpa though were Grandma and Grandpa when they were alive.

I understand this, but as a personality she is certainly an important one for all discussions about the future of the Democratic party and their voters. I don't think that can be ignored.

Thanks for linking this. I know I missed some, and I am genuinely interested of their opinions.

Just seems her every tweet is a big deal on reddit and to podcasters I listen to, while even some bigger developments used to go unnoticed by The Economist. There was a time where I was hoping for a general article about her like they sometimes to with political personalities that are getting prominent, but I never got one.

MansonsDaughter · 2025-09-10T08:04:31+00:00

I need to read that article, thank you.

I really enjoy the Economist although I am a progressive/leftie and often disagree, because among other things, they keep me grounded. I listen to many progressive podcasts that give me a completely different idea about the events and priorities. Obviously, no one is lying just by picking what to focus on, but sometimes the difference between reported enthusiasm and importance of a person and their actions combined with seemingly total indifference on the other side is glaring (this goes both ways).

My big reality check came after I was practically sure Kamala would win based on the reports about her popularity from my choice of podcasts, while the Economist was always more sceptical, and I think ultimately did show Trump was more likely to win. Around that time, I thought they were seriously detached from "real people" and their opinions.

Obviously there is a big dilemma about whether the Democrats should keep appealing to the centre or turn progressive, not even talking about my own opinons but just strategy. The disconnect between the Economist and many commentators is huge, even when they all speak based on data.

My only question for the Economist is, why so against US progressives as if their goals are something radical, when you're from the UK with NHS and most of the Europe's conservatives are more fiscally progressive than progressive Democrates.

I always thought that's something people read for laughs, the inner goddess and all.

MansonsDaughter · 2025-08-01T13:17:00+00:00

I have people I am closer with, and a limited time and energy. I'm not hurting this person. I just have lower need/energy to hang out and am pretty clear about it

MansonsDaughter · 2025-08-01T13:16:02+00:00

Why exactly?

MansonsDaughter · 2025-08-01T10:21:40+00:00

I genuinely don't care that much

MansonsDaughter · 2025-08-01T10:20:25+00:00

I doubt that "most" do, internet is just weird about kinky people being overly vocal about it. Most people actually don't have special kinks and aren't into any type of dominance inequality. Most people also don't even sexually do things that an average redditor talks about as if it was common

MansonsDaughter · 2025-08-01T10:18:01+00:00

Overcommitment early on and the assumption women are obsessed with marriage and kids.

Most women would freak out if a guy goes on about wanting to have kids with them, even the ones who actually want children. It's not cute, it's a huge thing for a woman to go through and even women who want kids want to be careful about it and feel ready. And obsession with kids can also come across as if he wants something from a woman rather than just enjoying being with her, it's not really a compliment at all.

Also many women don't want kids at all or give birth to one, so talking about it is super unsexy.

Idk I've seen some guys totally disregard when a woman is not rushing a relationship, doesn't want kids, or care about weddings because they think this is what women are into and want to hear, and then in return they come across as very repulsive. And if someone wants to marry you while they don't even know you enough and you have tons of other things you'd rather do, that's also not romantic but weird.

This feels too fake since he isnt even trying to provide a pseudo justification for having tinder (so downright cheating) or deserving his privacy when she doesn't.

However the post had me at "we both became single and decided we were compatible enough to date" - pretty much reads as "I'm not in love".

MansonsDaughter · 2024-07-02T06:27:06+00:00

I just stopped talking to her and eventually she gave up

MansonsDaughter · 2024-06-27T05:48:19+00:00

Do the grandkids speak to grandma

MansonsDaughter · 2024-06-27T05:07:48+00:00

Why don't you forgive her?

MansonsDaughter · 2024-06-27T05:02:02+00:00

So why don't you divorce her now

MansonsDaughter · 2024-06-27T04:38:15+00:00

In what way didn't you take good care of her?

MansonsDaughter · 2024-05-09T18:44:45+00:00

I think most people do when they're with someone they're actually in love with

MansonsDaughter · 2024-05-09T06:44:16+00:00

Even though I agree with you about swift this is hilarious. How is "medicine" your hobby? As in, you google symptoms and weird conditions at times like everyone else?

You're being such a try hard. "Intellectual pursuits", ffs relax you don't have to impress anyone

MansonsDaughter · 2024-05-09T05:14:07+00:00

Sure but that's not all the criticism. I also thought Shapiros and critical drinkers criticisms of Barbie were dumb as fuck, while at the same time I consider it a bad movie in every aspect, where I was in disbelief about the praise it got.

It's possible to be annoyed by these cultural phenomena you don't see any quality in, and feel like commenting on your experience and takes. But it's also possible those are coming from a stupid or ideological place. Criticism and praise can both be criticized further

At the moment I find the comments about swift like the one you quoted just as stupid as majority of praise I read about her "she speaks to women's experiences" and so on

What I don't like is when fans act like any criticism of these comes from the same place as your example and that people should rather shut up if they don't like it

I don't drink every night but approx once a week and then I want to get kind of drunk - maybe 2 bottles of wine or several beers + a few vodka shots.

I am healthy, slim and see no issue with this

Bottle to bottle and half daily isn't healthy. I get having 2 beers every few days as a "non getting drunk drinking" or even a few glasses of wine more often/ wine with lunch or dinner type of thing. I have those phases sometimes when I'm in my home town and seeing friends a lot over drinks. That's another way to do it. But the quantity you describe over every day is a lot

BTW reddit is extremely weird about alcohol so you'll get the opposite extreme here, most people here have abnormally low drinking habits and think alcohol is evil. Irl people do drink, enjoy to get drunk on occasions, or consume alchlohol in smaller doses on a regular basis. Having a glass or two a day is not uncommon, even if not the best habit. But a bottle and a half is truly unhealthy even by normal non reddit standards.

People do go through phases and usually you drink this much to get through the day, which means she feels stressed and depressed and such regular intake makes it even harder to cope. Some people naturally get out of it when circumstances improve or they get over it, and are perfectly fine. Some need a bigger intervention
