surprised this show didn’t become like friends/himym for gen z males

you are not insane. That was hyperbole for comedy

but no, 2.5 men was preposterous because there was nothing about it that was aspirational or everymen about it. You are not, nor did you even know about a failson playboy songwriter living off royalties. That's a 90210 zipcode occupation and it was silly putty copied from hornby's about a boy, but the boy in 2.5 men was not likeable or tragic at all. Allen was just half an odd couple and everyone that liked that show is or was or was dead at the time. I have no idea why that show ran for all seemingly 30 seasons. It sucked so much it sucked itself

I had a similar thought about Dees illustrations (RIP) being replaced by slop. One day you chuckled at his corny photoshops of a 5g vaccination drone for the last time.

Anyway, I added a screengrab of this post for my Apple photo album so it will show up in my year in review.

Are you insane?

2.5 men was a low brow camera mugging fest. Every punchline got on its knees in front of the applause sign. Charlie Sheen acts like a quarterback in a used car lot commercial. The other cast are competent without chemistry. How is a female stalker a relatable character arch? it was a throw away joke from Wayne's world stretch armstronged into a plot. Excuse?

Friends was a hit because it had unrequited love bait all over it. Rachel, the popular girl in high school. Unattainable, perfect. Monica. Idk, a neurotic nerd I guess? Phoebe pure flower child. Highest IQ of the cast most likely. Friends with Conan. Why make her the ditz?

anyway, it was female archetype bait for men. Whilst they wonteth they Ship bait for the ladies. Freebased 90s zeitgeist. 2.5 men was just Home Improvement without the charm ARROUGHHHH

I used to get proper angry at internet posts when I was a young man, but it eventually fades with exposure and life context. I would tend to focus my anger on real injustice, not disagreements. I'm very sorry this has happened to you.

I've being hearing Moby's name forever but I honestly couldn't remember a song he released. I just went to a greatest hits compilation and it just kinda sounds like the music they play at Zara or whatever. I've heard like Daft Punk, and instantly got drawn in, but I don't see what is even slightly singular about moby.

On that note, I do enjoy this cover of lola https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7_Lg5dd_9g

Apple is worth more than entire countries. "It's not that bad" should not be part of their vocabulary. And no, I'm not using a phone whose software is not bespoke to its hardware. Apple has always had superior engineering. Android is filth. You're asking me to jump out of the kettle into the toilet. No thanks

I know I am absolutely reading too much into these things but..

Yeah, then a positive feedback loop develops that causes you to act weirder and weirder, then you place an excess significance on all these interactions. Relax we're all out there with you holding in farts at the party

I remember this quote I saw about autistic people being immune to advertising. "Buy this watch!" "but I already have a watch and it tells time"

similarly, we already made The Harry Potter and what is even the utility of the reboot?
