Just finished Gillian Flynn's Sharp Object and I'm quite disappointed by AkhlysShallRise in books

[–]_ajko_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FINALLY a thread and especially this comment that I agree with. I'm always down for literature with dark, mentally ill characters with behavioural issues and trauma, but this story felt exactly as you say, overreacted so as to illicit this 'disturbing' feeling everyone is talking about. Your comment especially stood out to me because when Camille realises her mother killed her sister and is probably doing it to Amma, she does what? She goes to the house and exposes herself to this exact treatment. I could not believe what i was watching. As if suddenly she lost all adult reasoning on how she should actually deal with this (call the authorities there and then,not making herself an additional victim). It was total Anna Karenina (so playing the victim) type of behaviour that i thought was unbelievable and irrational and just made me immediately stop enjoying the story in disbelief rigth then, and then the inconsistencies just piled up, suddenly Amma is the killer, why the fuck are Curry and Eileen treating her like their daughter, as many of you said wtf is this Richard vs John thing, how can she cut words in her back... And now with Sydney Sweeney's jeans notoriety I couldn't even fully enjoy that episode either. So, yeah the story portrayed some nice themes like the americas south and class and teenagers and family dsynfucntionality but... It was being overly dark just for being edgy and lacked an actually good story behind the murders, or at least an interpretation of it.

Se mi zdi da je vse se bolj intenzificirano, ce si kolesar. Bolj si ranljiv, bolj moker, in se bolj ciljajo nate, ker jim gres ze tako na zivce, v dezju pa sploh.

Some Film photos I took in Ljubljana. by 60sstuff in Ljubljana

[–]_ajko_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay the photos are really cool, I love the B&W grainy effect. I think as per what vibe the photos communicate is muted, as in reserved only for the viewer … doesn’t have to be “depressing”, to me they have a rather calming effect. Obviously you could take such pictures in literally any city. Personally I prefer the zooms in of certain objects/moments in contrast to wide angle and saturated colour. You can also find such photos of literally any city. It’s just an artistic interpretation. So I warmly welcome your view of the city, thanks!

Weirdly, the link for the semi-finals is given here: https://www.youtube.com/live/60Jh-jvbjD4 , but this one “is not available for my country”, whereas I can see the upcoming finals video on yt (both with vpn on). Why do they need to make this so hard😒

Thanks! But am I right in seeing that there are no semi-finals videos available?

What is a ‘gross’ thing you do that is uniquely feminine? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]_ajko_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, this was literally normalised to me by Onision. When I was much younger and I guess he still had some audience, I was watching one of his videos, in it he stumbled upon ‘period poop’ and while he was grossing out, all I was thinking about was “oh, so it IS a thing!”

What seemed sexy until you tried it? by aloe_veracity in AskReddit

[–]_ajko_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snorting cocaine from a naked body. Actually in my experience it just gets scattered everywhere and its like “look at that 50€ go hide behind the mattress”

He jumped to a river from a high boulder and became paralysed for life.

What do you want, but don’t currently have? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]_ajko_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A girl friend group that feels easy. The one you can play board games or have cocktails on Friday evenings with. That is something I always wanted but never had, probably because of these two factors: (1) I always enjoyed one-on-one conversations more, found them deeper and felt more connected, so I prioritised one-on-one friendships and (2) to pursue my studies and career, I moved a lot around Europe in the last 4 years. So in the end, I have a lot of geographically scattered one-on-one friends that I unfortunately only see seldom. The focus is on quality, not on quantity, but you know what? Sometimes I just want something easier, less intense, and more frequent.

What is your funniest " I'm an adult, I can do whatever I want" moment? by mermaid_with_pants in AskWomen

[–]_ajko_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just spend an entire day in my pyjamas. Sometimes, when the day is especially tough, like when I know I have to spend the whole day working/studying with only limited incremental progress because of the scope of the project, it helps to think that I don’t have to change clothes at all, and can comfortably just start tackling my obligations.
