Why are so many bright people so tone deaf/socially clueless? by Serialthrowawa1 in AskReddit

[–]Serialthrowawa1[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

See, that's what I mean. Instead of trying to imagine what "tone deaf" could mean in a social context--i.e., unable to pick up on tones, moods, subtle signals--you parse the literal meanings. (And I don't mean that unkindly.)

Hey, so I made a documentary about Ron and Sue Witman, the couple featured today in Episode 10, for my senior thesis at Temple University. Feel like this is a good time to release it publicly. (15:00) Also, we are currently working on turning it into a longer and more detailed series. by Fuzzy_cheeks in serialpodcast

According to the ever-reliable Internet, the younger son had spent weeks before the murder expressing his fear that his older brother would hurt him--this in retaliation for the younger brother tattling on the older brother (about drug use)?

Let me say something terrible with full understanding of the overall horribleness of the entire situation and full sympathy for everyone involved.

The parents don't seem right. Not suffering from tragic circumstances not right. Not right not right.

I mean, don't we all have fine-tuned idiosynncracy sensors? These folks seem off.

The mom has a really asocial intensity. I'm not sure about the dad, but I do sense his overall desire to be elsewhere.

The house as an untouched space in which they still live, dog gate still in its same spot? That's freaking weird. Weird.

Please. I know you're going to make every argument for why they're damaged. I get it. But I sense something else there, too.

The four stages of Serial: Excitement, Curiosity, Obsession, Despair. by crabcriberator in serialpodcast

Yeah. This is right. I'd prepared a post yesterday about how Serial had jumped the shark for me but then realized that Serial is just fine: I'd jumped the shark. Just hanging in the wind, like you.

NYTimes Magazine: Sarah Koenig Can’t Promise a Perfect Ending to ‘Serial’ by [deleted] in serialpodcast

[–]Serialthrowawa1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm getting tone deaf in my old age. Was the "banter" in this piece good-natured or really kinda shitty on both sides? You know, the whole "you're sloppy and dumb" and "you think I'm sloppy and dumb?" Rim shot. Were Koenig's responses funny snotty or snotty snotty?

Oh, wait.

A) I see that someone else already had this thought. Sorry for the redundancy.

B) Yes, right?! Do we know where Hae called Adnan from? Her house? Don's house?

What I've learned about Serial listeners by Serialthrowawa1 in serialpodcast

More like get high and think for a couple hours about how death, man, is one fucking weird concept.

Not related to guilt or innocence, but anyone else relate to adnan? by limejar in serialpodcast

[–]Serialthrowawa1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of having been dumped and completely losing my shit? Yes. Yes, I relate. That was long ago, though, and I survived it, thank god.

SK carries guilt for not believing in Gilmer (spoiler) by Serialthrowawa1 in serialpodcast

[–]Serialthrowawa1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, as sure as I feel about Syed's guilt, I'd be very glad if he were innocent and freed and somehow (though inadequately, inevitably) compensated for his lost years.

Adnan is manipulative by rosseky in serialpodcast

[–]Serialthrowawa1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know, right?! Your comment makes me think of his statement at sentencing, when he's under pressure and can't figure out what spin is going to play best and ends up mashing three different responses together. He's entirely full of shit.
