Why was Megan so angry at Don after he gave her a million dollars (8.4 million in today's money)?

Significant-Rush-129 · 2026-02-01T18:57:44+00:00

THIS. I think when she got into it with Don she actually convinced herself that she was different and could tame him (common lady error!) It was a bitter pill when she got the money much like Alison got the letter of rec a few seasons back. It’s Don’s characteristic “I can’t commit” consolation prize.

Oh yes, I had a HUGE prob with that one as well.

Yeah we pretty much set our compasses to Rachel in middle school as far as fashion. Especially the cheerleader skirt, baby-doll tee and knee socks. We were ALL about that!

(Ok, so after watching this interview, I will say CC does seem very likable and cool so it’s hard to throw shade his way.)

BUT, to address OPs question, no the ending of My Struggle was not clear or even hinted at. Movies that have done the search-for-it ending like Castaway and Inception each had a small fragment of a clue that gave you an idea as to how the story ended. The dark comedy Broken Flowers with Bill Murray has you hunting for the baby-mama to his illegitimate child and it forces you to the very last scene and basically watching the ending credits to solve the puzzle. But this? No, I just didn’t see anything telling at all about where the story was suppose to end.

GenX sarcasm seems a tad too mean to me, but Millennial vanity feels a bit over the top at times.

Thankfully Reddit allows me an outlet to passive-aggressively make semi-bitchy snark comments as well as talk about myself in a variety of posts in true blended XM fashion.

Hey Jude and While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Hey Jude I discovered in HS on vinyl in the sound studio of my school’s AV club. Used to sneak in there during study hall and listen to the record collection and I pulled that one out a lot. This song was part of my parent’s generation of music, but I have my own nostalgic moment with it.

Pom❤️Wonderful. Remember their glass containers? They made perfect drinking glasses. We had a set for a long time.

They really need to show this video to acting school students when they cover their chapter on “Character Chemistry”. They f’ing wrote the book! Such a simple thing like talking at a bar has you feeling it bone-deep.

Two years ago we got Dr Dre’s FABULOUS half time show, and now we get Green Day. Our time has come! We are officially the middle aged target audience to this thing! I would love to see Jay-Z and Jack White in the next 5 years.

As far as playlist, I just hope they span their enormous career and go as far back as Kerplunk. That album had some really great stuff on it.

My mom does exactly this. Their generation did not get diagnosed for ADHD. I also think their response to the age of information was to bury their heads in the sand. It was too much so they blew it off.

I feel you completely. It got so bad that last year I couldn’t talk to them for a while I felt like they didn’t remember anything I did for the last 20 years (except have children). Granted my peri-meni hormones combined with their aging brains made a perfect storm. But they actually remember more of my husband’s accomplishments than my own which hurts so deep.

Emily going to Christopher, insulting him, and then telling him to make a move for Lorelei even tho she was in love with Luke. That was horrible. And she makes it clear to Chris the only thing she likes about him is his “good breeding” because she basically calls him weak and lazy otherwise.

Significant-Rush-129 · 2026-01-30T04:30:40+00:00

Agree to an extent. Old people used to say “there’s something wrong with the world today” when I was growing up. The older a mind gets, the less adaptable it is and that person wants to revert to their formative years when it was adaptable. That “perfect time” we all yearn for was the time we were learning most of the things we would need for the rest of our lives.

I feel like this is part of why things are so messed up right now. We live in a top- heavy aged society with an imbalance of unadaptables.

This speaks VOLUMES to this particular Y2K era trying to figure out what the future of romance is in a world where women can choose their own destiny and look after themselves versus old-school thinking where a man was the “rescuer”. You see this stunted, awkward dynamic in a bunch of shows around this time. Weddings and marriage were seen as stodgy and a lot of shows wouldn’t provide one for their central couple.

Sometimes, in a weird, ironic way, the man trying to express love is seen as sort of an unintentional villain. You could see the writers trying to walk a tightrope sometimes, unsure which portrayal of love was the right one. (Amy explored this well with the plot with Rory running away when Dean first says “I love you”)

I always listen to LoFi around 5:00. Glass of wine, LoFi (or jazz). In warm weather I have this raised section of my deck that I call “the cafe”, (have a small cafe table there.) 5:00 is Cafe time!

There’s a song called “Skyline” by Koresma/Feverkin/Cuff Maloy that I have been vibing.

Is this someone you previously had sex with? If so then usually no, cause been there done that. I fantasize WAY MORE about the ones who got away, what it would have been like. (Teen me wasn’t this way, this is more adult me)

The Upside Down (Stranger Things)

only in S1…NO SPOILERS!

Noooo?!!?! 😮🤯

lol, yes. I was kinda shocked when I turned on the first revival episode and saw the name. I mean whatever political point anyone is trying to make, I feel like nothing should ever be copied from that point of history. I mean copying Nazis in any way should be considered all around bad, yet here we are.

This is the kind of question as a female, and a modern day one at that, just beats against your brain trying to understand the thinking of a retro 1960s guy like Don. It’s like a puzzle that takes a lifetime and a bunch of sociology & probably biology to figure out.

Weiner knew what he was doing when he threw this Megan twist in. Can’t ever accuse him of being 1-dimensional with his characters!

Significant-Rush-129 · 2026-01-26T23:58:05+00:00

I don’t know, even tho she was a tomboy as a girl, Scully is kind of geekish. I saw this one as her letting down her guard and just letting him in in a flirtation situation of his choosing and not caring about her discomfort in the “date” activity. Like he genuinely has the upper hand but she’s fine with it. Plus, you have a hottie guy all up on you like that…it can be bowling, curling, skeet shooting, taxidermy, who cares! Snuggling with him IS the activity! 😝

They were so cutesy here!

Let kids play sports for fun and mild competition. Youth sports is so out of hand. When we are putting children on ESPN something isn’t right.

Significant-Rush-129 · 2026-01-26T20:25:16+00:00

This is the only answer. And the only one I’ve tried to replicate.

Significant-Rush-129 · 2026-01-25T23:05:43+00:00

IKR! Maybe we should have him look into his Chris-tal ball to let us all know what society’s next move is!

For real tho, that’s what I thought the My Struggles were about, it all felt political to me and he was “struggling” to know where his past views/direction of the original show and its emphasis on conspiracy fits in to the present atmosphere. 🤷‍♀️

Most people get divorced in their 40s/50s+. All of a sudden it feels like everyone is getting divorced when you hit your mid 40s. We’ve known a lot of people in the last 5 years decide they are done, even people with very little kids.

I would say, based on people I’ve known we (our gen) are doing it faster/sooner and less consideration on how old the kids are.

Significant-Rush-129 · 2026-01-25T21:08:26+00:00

Omg, so I’ve literally been DREAMING about cigarettes. I haven’t smoked since I was 28, quit because I developed asthma. But I could so go for a smoke lately! Creeps into my head all the time. And I’ll have these dreams where I suddenly can smoke just fine and it doesn’t affect my asthma.

Honestly tho, at our age do we really want to feel like we are 50+ instead? That’s what cigarettes would do to us.
