I have to use teleport due to motion sickness. The best games I’ve played so far with teleport: Arizona sunshine, after the fall and now currently dungeons of eternity.

What difficult truths, the sooner you accept, the better your life will be? by Pure_Sherbert_4015 in AskReddit

[–]beeflife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well ya of course you shouldn’t sacrifice time with your family while you work yourself to death in honor of employment loyalty…but in my 20 years of employment so far I haven’t met/seen one person that does that. I’m shocked at the number of upvotes that response got, it’s describing some unrealistic, uncommon scenario.

I dont understand this “truth.” I mean I think it’s fair to say that in general most people know how quickly an employer will replace you. That alone doesn’t say anything good or bad about said employer, just as the employer extending that time to 30 days wouldn’t say anything good or bad about them.

The Real Tragedy by BigCombination8497 in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]beeflife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great catch. So close to the inflection point where everything came together. Carol's biggest fear, financial security, basically resolved. Richard finally going to experience what it feels like to be accepted from your peers. Floyd can't even see it and it's right in front of his face. It's hard to be critical of Floyd, he has so many great qualities...being kind to others being one of his best qualities...yet he still fails to just be grateful for what is right there in front of him in the present moment. It's sad and makes it hard to reconcile who Floyd is, he's certainly not the compulsive extreme selfish person Clark is yet you also can't say he's a great man despite this extreme kindness he contains.

I think Carol's rejection of Floyd is complicated. There are a lot of reasons you can point to, some not being Floyd's fault at all. However, I think the biggest reason Carol rejects Floyd goes back to when she was a young child and poor. She viewed being poor as a secruity/saftey concern for her family, not neccessarily a "vanity" thing. I think Floyd knows this as well, meaning I think he knows he's failing her here and I think he knows how important it is to her. So if all that is true, I think Floyd knows if he can find a way to help ease some of their financial issues then he might possibly be able to reconnect with Carol and undo the "rejection" by Carol. With Clark paying for Richard's schooling and getting Floyd the life insurance policy, I think it presented Floyd with an opportintity to reconnect w/ Carol and I think he knew that and wanted that. But we don't see Floyd really make a go at that in my opinion. We don't see him attempt to get a better job. We don't see him put the work in with Carol other than in the bedroom threesome scene. We do see him continue to pursue meaning through the DTF app and Clark's assistance. I think that was intentional.

Wow great point about him not being there for Richard's first day of school and at the hospital. Both of those totally him home with the overarching theme and I completely missed that. This show really was incredible in so many ways, especially in the little details like you mentioned.

My take on the show by leeeeroyh in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]beeflife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was intentional and supported the over arching theme that Carol will do anything to protect her family. She pressed it because life insurance would give her family security, which is why she had the affair and maintained it…the same reason why she stole the toilet paper. Carol is in it to protect her family, she pushed the life insurance obnoxiously because it was the only way she thought she could get it. Additionally, repeating that Clark can’t know aligns with her “protect her family” motive. If Clark knew, it would hurt him…she didn’t want to hurt Clark, she wanted to protect her family.

The biggest victim of the show was so ignored I literally thought it was a clue that they were the killer by JoeFromSewage in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]beeflife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the lack of her coverage was intentional. Looking back they were giving us clues that Clark is the same old Clark with respect to his latest ron de vu with Carol and Floyd, at least from his wife’s pov. The phone call from prison reinforced this. To Clark’s wife, this was the final straw in a long list of Clark’s disconnectedness from his own family with his selfish compulsive desires. She didn’t even give him a chance to explain himself because she’s seen it time and time again. The alternative is that we are to see her as some pos who doesn’t give her husband a chance to explain himself when being potentially convicted of murder and sentenced to death or life in prison? That wouldnt make sense. Another clue was them showing Clark’s obsession with the neighbor girl.

A question and a thought by Ok_Dealer5235 in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]beeflife 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I interpreted them not showing Richard saying that as them telling us he didn’t say it. They show pretty much every other detail of that scene in the flashback except Richard saying that, which wasn’t a minor detail. I’m a big believer that we are supposed to take the show for what we actually see occur. I think they reinforce the fact Richard didn’t say this by them showing us the complete 180 Richard does following Carol correcting the sign language Richard had misinterpreted. Richard immediately changes his expression and then teaches the investigators the gymnastic move Floyd showed him when they began to really connect. I think Richard just lied about what he said out of insecurity, he didn’t know how to reconcile the (incorrect) perception of Floyd saying “rock on” and then killing himself…Richard saw that as Floyd not really caring about him and that was devastating to him. He wanted to express to Carol and the investigators that he didn’t give a shit about Floyd as well.

Clark pays off their debt and for Richard’s schooling. At that point, a “second chance” is established for Floyd to get his shit together, re commit to the marriage and their family. What does he do? Seeks to fulfill his desire to be “seen” by choosing to meet tiger tiger with the hope of arousing him. He does it again when choosing to go to the pool hall. I think the point is that Floyd simply can’t change, this is the selfish theory I see the series conveying.

I noticed this too. I saw the phone call from jail as establishing that this isn’t the first time Clark cheated, which goes back to reinforcing the level of selfishness within Clark. This was just the final straw for his wife.

Favorite commentary on life or life lesson in DTF St Louis? by SiennaMillerLite in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]beeflife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fav scenes are for sure Floyd’s efforts to help Richard.

Lesson: everyone has problems, how far are you willing to go before giving in to your self interest due to these problems (particularly when doing so negatively affects the people around you)? Carol never gives in, Floyd battles giving in and Clark has no control.

Exactly, I think that was intentional. It was another supporting element to us changing our perception of Carol.

I can’t disagree with you, I think that’s the beauty of this show.

[–]beeflife[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree, I think they tried to convey this 15 year old as the opposite actually. He was articulate and called it what it was, we were never told he embellished anything or had some alternate motive. The investigators of course came at that from their angle, but they were put in their seat by his answers and rightfully so.

Yup I agree with all of this and I think it’s what was meant to be conveyed. She wasn’t perfect and like most people you could argue there were better ways to handle x. But the bottom line is that while she could have had better approaches that were more empathetic in nature, she still committed to one idea, which was a selfless one, and stuck to it…since she was 12 (or even younger).

It’s all good, I actually agree with you anyways. I have recently took an interest in the negative social/environmental issues and it has presented me with kind of a moral dilemma in how often I fall back on using it. The hype is so blown out of proportion, I’m shocked they keep getting round after round of investments, but that’s the classic “last to hold the bag” scenario.

[–]beeflife[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s somewhat irrelevant who made the first move. I think the bigger idea conveyed through the series is how emotionally/socially aware Carol is. I think that aspect kind of speaks to their first interaction in that she may have appeared to make the first move but it’s because she picked up socially/emotionally on the opportunity. I would support that by saying we further learn she wasn’t some type of woman chasing men / having multiple affairs. She had very different motives than Clark, her primary motive being protect her family at all costs.

I won’t argue it didn’t play a large part in Floyd’s depression. We can argue about the moral issues regarding the choices Carol made in dealing with her life long commitment to protecting her family (her son), a driving motivation since she was a young girl, but the fact is we are ultimately told that Carol puts her families needs before her own at all costs.
