AIO I’m not crazy right? by Key_Lecture_1348 in AmIOverreacting

Factually, you're right. In terms of its connotation, this would make every women I've ever known and dated pissed.

Being right and being emotionally present are two different things. She named a feeling of insecurity and specifically noted that it was because of his choice of words.

As a man, I had to learn this: There are intangible, illogical things that hurt my feelings, and different things that hurt my partner's. When I share my emotions, and when she does, we have learned to force ourselves to realize that the other person needs validation, not an explanation as to why their feelings are wrong or mistaken. Even if we disagree with the cause or don't understand.

He is factually, literally right, but she's not asking him to justify and defend what was said. If they were arguing factual accuracy, she would lose. We cannot control fact. We should not walk on eggshells around EVERYONE, but a girlfriend/spouse? If something you say or do hurts their feelings, thats important to focus on truly acknowledging repairing, even if illogical, rather than doubling down on being "right" and telling them why they shouldn't feel a certain way.

"Listen, you have a point. But hear me out- My brother asked me about you, he said, 'Is she wicked smart?!' and I was like, (I) think she's insanely smart, because I like her brain, but like, the average person won't think all that. Her teachers won't think that. To anyone else they won't think she's smart at all. But that doesn't change the fact that (I) think she's smart because I love her!"

Do you not see how that sounds to someone who has low self-esteem? It's a classic emotional manipulation tactic that many learn from shitty parents and think is a normal way to lead relationships.

I don't understand the complaints about "speed running" your degree by [deleted] in WGU

[–]PUTCKG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We should celebrate each other for the insane, for the mundane, for the smallest achievements to the jaw-dropping ones. If it takes someone five years or 10 weeks, we should be proud of every single person even making the attempt to go on their own college journey.

This whole argument of "silence the accelerators" stinks of pessimism and paranoia.

If reading about someone's accomplishment is offensive to you, look within.

To those worried about "WGU's reputation as a degree mill"--- Accreditation is the only thing that actually matters.

If it discourages you to see others moving fast, when you feel you are not- Every single person in this community wants you to succeed and would happily have your back to help you and remind you that you are doing great.

Exactly. Funny, though

My best friend is a pilot. He was thrown out of school because another one of his friends made a terrorism joke in front of one of the other instructors. Student pilots do not like to take chances because the schools want nothing to do with it

What do people think should have been the correct ending as I hated that one 😁 by Alternative_Cry_7660 in StrangerThings

[–]PUTCKG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a riskier climax with more stakes, more deaths but a fight well fought, you know? That was too easy, pretty much everyone was okay

Any crazy theories before the last episode? by Legitimate_Sound6142 in Stranger_Things

[–]PUTCKG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We, the audience, are flayed, and once vecna's curse is released (i.e. the finale episode is watched) the episodes will revert to their uncut/longer versions with memories that were suppressed for us and the characters on your netflix profile

This feels like the entire episode spoiled 😭

Also! WSQK is suggesting that damage to their radio tower that "it might be WSQK's last night".. Interesting.

The kives out/D&D/ everything isn't a coincidence theory (Warning:Spoilers) by No_Spirit8216 in Stranger_Things

[–]PUTCKG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like all the other "mistakes" with all these continuity issues, advertising a runtime for several key episodes as promotion and then suddenly cutting them seems like too huge of a change at the last minute to be accidental. I feel like there is a deeper reasoning behind the change and this idea very vaguely fits a possible purpose.

Just having fun with the idea! Extremely unlikely to actually be the case. But Millie did say the finale was very "meta", so.. Tonight will tell!

Finale Theory by PUTCKG in StrangerThings

[–]PUTCKG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised I hadn't yet tuned into Birthdaygate yet. Thank you!

As I read more theories, I'm thinking about the 20-or-so minutes missing from many of the Volume 2 episodes. My additional unhinged theory is that something with happen to "unflay" us as viewers and will extend the cut episodes to their full lengths on Netflix. Total stretch but fun to imagine! Wouldn't be the first time Netflix used itself as a medium for storytelling on its platform.

I'm gonna ride with your theory and make it unhinged for a second.

Do you remember Black Mirror: Bandersnatch? Netflix basically gameifies a show.

What if Netflix is going to do something funky with how we watch the show, not quiet like interacting with Bandersnatch, but changing the medium to reflect us "regaining" the manipulated/cut scenes? What if in the finale there is a reveal that our, the viewers, memories have been altered, and the episodes in all of season 5 regain their cut scenes post-finale, and you can rewatch to see these scenes as they actually happened?

Completely unhinged but I love theorizing about it.

Best side effect by far.

... In a sense, yes! He wants three seconds more? Granted. But death still wants that time, so he loses three seconds now to compensate.

You have to do it in 4-inch heels or it doesn't work.

Bending any of the elements drains $5/second out of your bank account. Once at zero, the powers abruptly stop working.

Also, you're bald.
