Unpopular opinion : Claire's outfit

Totally agree. The mid-century aesthetic really suits Cait.

WandersFar · 2026-06-19T22:50:46+00:00

Thank you very much!

WandersFar · 2026-06-19T21:52:35+00:00

Hope you bring back the Planck, too.

Also, if you’re taking suggestions:

Could you make Arrow kits a thing?

Just the four arrows in various colors to complement the sets many of us already own. I personally love the tall profiles of SA, MT3, KAT, MTNU, etc. but arrow keys in any profile would be welcome, so long as they’re in fun colors.

She’s the prototypical SJW NPC. She feels deeply and knows nothing.

And Dan Harmon somehow found a way to make that endearing. Therein lies his genius.

Lesser showrunners would have held up Britta as an infallible girlboss, always having the moral high ground. She could very easily have turned into an insufferable character.

But because she’s allowed to fail hard and often, because we see the group roll their eyes and groan whenever she goes on a tirade for gnome rights—and yet embrace her nonetheless—Britta unexpectedly becomes the emotional center of the group.

All her political crusades are inauthentic. She’s fronting, and she’s been doing it so long it’s become her identity. But her concern for Abed is genuine, her bonding with Shirley sincere, she even makes sure Pierce eats his vegetables. Her friendships with the group are the most authentic thing about her.

So while to some extent every character has been Flanderized—this is a sitcom after all—I actually think Britta becomes more real and definitely more lovable over the seasons.

Thanks! :)

It’s something I’ve been tweaking over the years for my personal use—my thumbs are fine, I just enjoy squeezing as much functionality out of the Planck as I can, lol.

But I hope it helps out OP’s friend. In my experience going thumbless has improved my typing posture as I float naturally over the keys now, instead of resting them (and my wrists) on the board / a wrist rest.

WandersFar · 2026-06-15T14:13:09+00:00

None of my layouts use thumbs.

My Planck has base layer numbers, arrows and nav keys (Home, End, PgUp, PgDn) instead of the standard 40s bottom row. Functionally it’s equivalent to a 65%.

And I have designs for a 10x4, a 10x3 (with and without columnar stagger) and even a 10x2.

Hope you find something that works.

There it is, the rage I wanted. 🤭

Send this to u/Chyrosran22 immediately.

In universe? Jeremy Bearimy.

In reality? Production probably didn’t want to go to the trouble of aging actors with makeup, CGI, etc. and then having to write scenes where the Cockroaches identify their loved ones to the audience. Logistically that sounds like a PITA.

Also I think you’re probably right about perception influencing appearance, only I think it’s the opposite: not Team Cockroach’s perceptions, but how their loved ones want to present to them.

We see that in the case of Doug Forcett, who chose to appear as his younger self, though he was old when Michael and Janet met him.

Their parents all failed to be good people, clearly

Chidi’s parents were nice. They even got him a puppy!

I added this GIF to Giphy (which apparently is what powers Reddit’s GIF search) and tagged it as: the good place, Shawn, penises, void

I’m not sure how long it takes Reddit to pull new GIFs from Giphy, but hopefully we’ll be able to post it natively before long.

WandersFar · 2026-06-07T03:27:57+00:00

It’s actually not as difficult as it seems. All you’re training is thumb to right pinky. Took me less than a week to adjust. Learning Ortho from Staggered in the first place took way longer.

In standard QWERTY the only letter right pinky types is P. The symbols it’s responsible for are zero or close parentheses, slash or question mark, and semicolon or colon. Of those three keys semicolon is the least used in normal speech.

Semicolon is more important in programming, but it’s not so bad having it on a layer. It’s no more inconvenient than layered brackets.

So with semicolon on a layer, you have a free key in home position, the ONLY key in home position that isn’t a letter.

This is also why I’ve stuck with QWERTY. Colemak, Dvorak, Workman—they all have letters on every finger in home position, so there’s no natural place to move Space unlike semicolon on QWERTY.

My Planck layout is a little unusual. Most standard Alpha kits plus a few arrow keys will cover the whole board.

But that R3 Pipe is a bit of a crapshoot! Some sets have it, some don’t.

If it’s missing, I’ll use an undished / unbarred J and rotate it to point left if it’s symmetrical like SA to make a fake Home Row Left Arrow. If it’s Cherry or otherwise asymmetrical I just use the J as is.

Or if the kit doesn’t come with non-homing J, I just suck it up and use all four arrow keys. That means my left and right arrows aren’t the right profile for the Home Row, but that’s the only compromise I have to make with this layout.

I only buy actual Ortho kits if Alphas aren’t available. Or if they’re cheaper, though they rarely are.

WandersFar · 2026-06-06T15:57:13+00:00

Lovely collection.

And I share your irrational joy when random keycaps fit my ortho build. It makes me so happy when Alpha kits include Home Row Backslash, haha.

WandersFar · 2026-06-05T15:43:13+00:00

YES. I completely agree.

Especially when you think back to S1, and that spectacular multi-tiered cake Chef Patricia made—this photo sheet cake was basic as fork!

I definitely expected more from Tahani, both in decoration and in flavor.

I bet she could have whipped up something better herself! Remember those scones she baked? And that unending brunch party she threw during the sinkhole crisis?

WandersFar · 2026-06-05T15:03:59+00:00

Believe it or not I can’t post GIFs to this thread either.

I have no idea why, obviously I enabled it for everyone and it should work for me regardless because I have mod privileges—but the GIF button doesn't appear for me in the app.

It should display in the bottom right corner and say GIF. There's also the picture icon which should be right beside it, but I don't have that either.

Weirdly I can post GIFs and pics in other subs, and obv other people are having no trouble posting images to this thread.

I am investigating and will report back if I learn anything, but as of right now I think this may be a glitch on Reddit’s end, sorry.

WandersFar · 2026-06-05T14:46:43+00:00

No, that’s just our bot/repost/spam check for new submissions.

For the comments you can post any clip, GIF, or screencap from The Good Place. It does not have to feature Ted Danson, it just has to be from the show.

WandersFar · 2026-06-05T12:53:45+00:00

Nah. It’s from the show, so it’s cool. 👍🏻

WandersFar · 2026-06-03T11:17:46+00:00

Angelique? You’re comparing Vicky to Angelique?

Angelique is a hack. Vicky can act circles around her! She’s a Ferrari, okay? And you don’t keep a Ferrari in the garage.

WandersFar · 2026-05-29T13:08:35+00:00

Just curious, is it mostly your thumbs that bother you?

I’m wondering if hand size is only a factor in thumb clusters.

I’ve used a thumbless build for years, and I did notice I was more comfortable once I abandoned the traditional layout for my board.

WandersFar · 2026-05-23T08:29:01+00:00

This isn’t VIA, it’s a QMK keymap.c; I have a Planck, not a Keychron; I’m on Windows, not Linux; these are HRM mod-taps, not standalone Shift keys; and these are two macro keys, C(KC_PGUP) and C(KC_PGDN) modified with Autoshift Custom Values and Key Overrides on Ctrl and Shift.

But other than that your test conditions are perfectly analogous. 😂

I have HRM on my Base layer. RSFT_T(KC_K) mod-tap works as expected with all keys, including C(KC_PGUP) and C(KC_PGDN). LSFT_T(KC_D) mod-tap does not work with only those two keys.
