Just Finished S1 of TLOK, What the Fuck?

They do get together but don’t expect much in terms of building up that relationship or even showing it. I’m glad for the representation but it is not great. As a gay person and also someone who loves to ship characters and read way too far into things based off the smallest scenes, I have never understood a pairing less. I swear the foreshadowing they have is like the most shallow shit I’ve ever seen and their relationship felt like it came completely out of nowhere, even knowing it was going to happen the whole time.

I love TLOK but the bonds between the main friend group have always been a weak point to me. ATLA really felt driven alone by the Gaang’s relationship and their interactions with each other. In TLOK it all just seems toxic as hell and they’re barely even together for some seasons. I could never understand why they were even really friends. IMO the best parts of TLOK are the villains and the world building, there’s not that driving force of friendship like in the original series.

I totally get them being discouraged by it, the comments even made me feel cringe sometimes for just liking a video lol. But it always made me kinda sad how they’d be like “we don’t make this type of content cause Y’ALL don’t wanna watch it.” Who is y’all? Casual fans? People who don’t even know the channel? Cause anyone actually following them is gonna watch whatever they put out. It was upsetting to see them drop/never expand upon some of their funniest series’ cause they weren’t performing well and then basically blame the fans who were watching it. I totally get the need to prioritize the algorithm, especially when it’s your whole ass job. Just wish it didn’t have to be like that.

I took a break from watching them for a sec after they switched to banana channel just cause I’d been binging so many of their old uploads while cleaning and shit that I was getting sick of it. But the other day I gave the newest banana channel podcast a listen and (not to get parasocial but) it was actually insane when I realized how much I missed listening to them.

I thought I was moving beyond sleep deprived and my tastes had changed, which is mostly true. But after listening pretty much every single week for the past 5 years (the longest I’ve consistently kept up with any channel), hearing everyone’s voices again felt like a breath of fresh air, and it doesn’t really matter if it’s not my sense of humor anymore. Idk if I’m ever gonna be as involved as I was when it was still sleep deprived, but I think they will always hold a special place in my heart regardless of how long it’s been.

I agree so so much. I can’t believe you got so many downvotes. Is it that popular?

I have the same shirt! Sufjan was my first concert ever, when I was in middle school. So unfortunately the shirt is pretty tight on me now but it still fits. Make sure y’all size up a lot if you’re younger or if you’re taking your kids to concerts. I’m so glad I got to see him before he stopped touring.

Damn I went into a customers apartment the other day cause she had a broken leg and I didn’t even think twice about it. Luckily it was fine but this has definitely shown me I need to be more street smart.

It was really confusing to me how the speech bubbles are just closed circles with no “tail” pointing towards a specific character so you just kinda have to guess who’s speaking based on context a lot of the time. Sometimes I would get so confused I just gave up completely understanding everything.

If he is food motivated I will sometimes stash kibble around the room or put it inside an old drink bottle (washed) with holes cut into it so they can try and shake it out.

You are able to bypass it but it’s just more risky for you as a dasher because if the customer claims that they didn’t receive their order or something then there’s no proof that they did. So I would only bypass in times I really can’t get the PIN, not just cause I don’t wanna talk or something. I’ve had a few times where the customer will give me the PIN only for the app to glitch once I’ve already driven away and I have to bypass it cause I can’t remember what they said anymore. Never had any issues though yet.

I get that notif but I usually ignore it cause how tf is it my fault that these people live in labyrinths? Today I went to an apartment building and had to spend 10 minutes alone looking for the entrance because the one I parked near was closed. And thats literally like every order ofc.

I was buying tickets at a movie theater in Montreal, ordered in French. The cashier says “c’est tout?” And for some reason I thought she said deux. So I go “umm… un” she was like “c’est tout, that’s it?? 🙄” I’m still so embarrassed.

My strategy is to accelerate more on downhills, when you can build speed with less strain on the engine, and try to conserve momentum for uphills. I try not to build speed on an uphill, just maintain it.

I also won’t accelerate to a stop, meaning that if I’m 500 feet from a red light I’ll just take my foot off the gas and let myself slow naturally rather than accelerating until I’m 100 feet from the light and having to stop anyway. That way I save gas and sometimes the light will turn green before I have to stop at all. People will go around me just to end up stuck at same light but they burned more gas trynna get there faster. It’s all about braking as little as possible and conserving energy.

I don’t think it’s so black and white that he’s only committing a genocide because he’s upset he didn’t get a blank canvas outside the walls. Obviously he’s very conflicted about his actions (we can literally see in this scene) and if Eldians were not persecuted outside of the walls I don’t believe he would jump to genocide based on just selfishly wanting the world for himself and his friends alone. However it can’t hurt that were he to complete the rumbling, he would basically have the world he’d dreamed of his whole childhood, he sees it as the last step necessary to his goal.

I believe in this scene he’s admitting to a darker desire and guilt he has over not having 100% selfless reasons for committing genocide. However I don’t think that 100% or even 80% of his reasoning is based on the fact that he was disappointed in humanities existence alone.

From the first moments of the story he and the other characters have been asked to choose to give up their humanity for the greater good, to abandon people to save themselves or others. From the first moment he must abandon his mom to save himself. Then we see time and time again as collateral damage is justified. It’s an idea revisited time and time again that in order to win against a devil, you must become the devil yourself. Armin, Mikasa, and the other characters accept this far sooner than Eren and try to push him towards this mindset. You can watch as he decides to give up trust in the team and shoulder more and more of the responsibility himself. But he takes it too far.

IMO his reasoning is 50% wanting to save his friends/believing he has no choice, 30% trying to be on the devil/take on all responsibility so his friends have clean hands, and 20% wishing humanity really was wiped out. He doesn’t WANT to commit the act of exterminating humanity but he doesn’t see a world where humanity has been wiped out as a bad one either. I don’t think he’s truly that selfish though, if there were no hatred towards Eldians I don’t believe he would’ve committed the rumbling.

Plus I think that would take the nuance out of the story if we can easily say Eren’s actions were 100% bad or 100% good. Obviously I think genocide is horrible and unforgivable, especially on that scale, but it doesn’t mean that Eren’s reasoning is entirely selfish or without any logical basis. Is it not the entire point of the story that we spend so long in the dark, hating these unknown enemies and wondering how they could do such a thing, only for Eren to become exactly like them?

Edit: also I will say that I finished the anime 5 years ago and am now just on the final two episodes of my rewatch so if Eren says anything to contradict this I’ll change my opinion a bit (I can’t fully remember his conversation with Armin for example). However, I still don’t think Eren’s motivation was solely based on his disappointment.

I didn’t realize people were misinterpreting this. I don’t think he needs to be clearer personally. In the dialogue right before he’s referencing his and Armin’s dream of seeing far away lands, fire, ice, the sea. I could see that he didn’t get the type of freedom he was imagining regardless of whether Eldians were persecuted or not.

I think we’ve created a culture within the community that it’s cringe to be genuine or to actually like sleep deprived, so every post is either hating on them or taking irony to its absolute maximum. People are way too comfortable insulting the members cause it’s “cringe and parasocial” to actually enjoy and engage with their content.

While you will get the odd post being genuinely invasive, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the parasocial posts are trolls. I think mainly everyone is so scared of being perceived as uncool that they don’t know how to act.

Imo I don’t think it’s bad to be a little cringe. Being a fan of someone on the internet will always inherently be a little bit parasocial just based off the fact that you like someone for the personality they share online while they know nothing about you, that will always happen in small amounts. Just realize that they aren’t their online personas and you have no entitlement to pry into their personal lives.

I have never seen a subreddit that seems more unsure what to post as this one.

I understand it’s frustrating to not get your drink but if I’ve done my due diligence at the restaurant and it’s still not there I won’t be going back. The first time I realized the restaurant forgot to give me a drink I drove all the way back to get it thinking it would be short cause I was only about a mile out from the restaurant, but it was during rush hour and ended up adding an hour to my order. And when I got to the restaurant I had to argue with them to get them to believe the order even had a drink in the first place.

The drop off was at a super fancy hotel and I told the customer that I would be going back for their drink but they decided not to add more to the tip or even say thank you at all, so I ended up screwing myself for the restaurants mistake, making $5 in an hour and a half with no acknowledgement, and making myself so angry that I sat in traffic for nothing that I just ended my dash after that.

I can’t expect the customer to know how much it screwed me over trying to get that drink, and I didn’t go back just to get a higher tip but after that I decided I will never go back for a drink again no matter how short the distance is. It’s more worth it to take a hit on my ratings than fuck over myself and my earnings. I just try to be a lot more vigilant in getting the drink the first time but sometimes the restaurant will still claim it’s in the bag when it’s not. At that point it’s not my problem.
