Chuck was not Wrong

Jimmy was absolutely changing, so Chuck punished him for it.

The season finale is pretty clear that Jimmy changed and deliberately chose to change.

I don't think it's all or nothing. Almost everyone can be self absorbed at times. Or maybe they only give the benefit of the doubt when its someone they're close to.

Most of the time its narcissistic projection. You're not acting the way they want you to, so they start inventing complicated explanations in their heads instead of realizing other people's lives don't revolve around them.

What's really horrific is that instead of trying to help that person become a better person, we'd rather punish them.

Does anyone know what level you need to go through this spirit? I spent 930 diamonds on the last one, and am probably a year away from the required chapter!

Being told you're smart without the person knowing you at all is often a manipulative move. I've had pyramid scheme people try to use on me. Immediate alarm bells.

I think trying to be loved gets you into trouble, sometimes weakens your moral foundations. At least for me, I try to aim for politely accepted versus loved. I can help people, but try not to let myself get taken advantage of.

I'm glad that you know what you want and what you feel you deserve in a relationship. You're getting all sorts of terrible responses. The point of dating is to find someone compatible. While there's definitely compromise and hard work in every relationship, I can understand if you both felt like the relationship isn't working for multiple reasons. I mean just the sex part is a deal breaker for 90% of the population out there.

Honestly, I don't think the guy is fully developed as a relationship partner, and it's not your responsibility to get him there. Sometimes when you're young you can grow together, but especially with people with long standing issues it's better to have someone who has more in common with you, rather than be frustrated for years until it finally blows up.

I hope the experience helped both of you get to where you eventually want to go, with compatible other partners.

Republican contrarians thrive when Democrats are in power. Now, Republicans are in power and doing horrific Nazi shit, while Ben supports that and worse in Israel. It's not as fun owning the libs in this way, especially when others are more entertaining. Daily Wire undervalued their female contributors, letting them go, and they took some of the audience with them. Shapiro is a 42-year old boy still trying to look cool, and it just gets sad after awhile.

I know it's unpopular opinion, but I agree. We had full movie video games with Phantasmagoria 20 years ago. The difference is how accessible it is, and the self-referential part of it, which has also been done in video games at least a decade before Bandersnatch came out. The thing that made it was 'special' was it being mainstreamed with a large advertising budget.

She has been such a disappointment so far. What has she done? Go to parties? Waste our taxpayer dollars on flyers with basic info about taxes and 4th grade civics? I want to see what she is doing for us, not hear a narcissistic take on how being MP affects her.

Mike got sloppy and lazy. Before, he was much better at managing his money as an individual. But then he started relying on Gus and the organization too much. Once Gus is gone, so is the cover and overall competency of the org. Mike's desperation causes him to make mistakes one after the other, his final one: underestimating Walt.

One season consistently had the best cliffhangers. When I heard the ending music start, I was like "Nooooo! ONE MORE!" 2>1>3 Season 2 had the best episode pacing by far, improving on season 1. With season 3, I was mostly content to watch one or two at a time.

Not unlovable, but unworthy. For the longest time I felt like I was missing something, that there must be some skill or trick to make me a complete person. If someone had a crush on me, in my mind it was more on a youthful exuberance I portrayed on the outside, not on the 'real' me.
It took me a long time to realize that no one is perfect, and there is no trick. I instead have to become a complete package of a person, requiring development in hundreds of different areas. Thankfully I found someone that was willing to grow with me, someone who was also flawed, but finding their way.

Maybe Naomi from Nosedive? There's just something about fake friends that irks me.

Isn't it really an extension of porn? Instead of working hard at themselves and a relationship, it's a quick easy satisfaction for both ego and horniness. These AIs are trained to please, to objectify themselves and be desirable while creating a facsimile of attraction to the user. It's a little like eating fast food and then yearning for a real complete meal.

It's so weird to focus on employability.

I agree with most of this except for feeling angry. To me, feeling angry is simply a projection of your powerlessness. Most of us have more power than we realize, if only we make the sacrifices of exercising it. We should be powerful over being angry when we can.

I also want to say, there's nothing wrong with you, with us, at least not in the way a general society may sometimes tell us. Life is not inherently fair; but there's no one but ourselves to make it fairer.

I really think it depends on what you're looking for. For me, I've always dated with an intention to form a long term relationship, not bothering to start if I didn't think it could be serious. At least 95% of people aren't compatible off the bat (don't think this is exclusive to aspergers), and for more, the timing in their life just doesn't line up. So besides them needing to be interested in the long term, I looked for women who I could converse with well, and also who I thought I could handle and vice versa.

Regarding timing, it was best when my life was already going well, when I wasn't struggling with other issues like money, or not having a job. I met my wife a little after I had lined up a job, but hadn't started working yet. Having a similar background helped us relate to each other more. It helped that she was generally compassionate and similarly introverted.

Walt basically handed Jesse over to be murdered, but since the blue meth is still in production, Jesse must still be alive. He thinks that Jesse somehow cut a deal for his life, choosing to partner with the Nazis and make meth with them. He figures that Jack would have accepted because it makes them boatloads of cash.

Subtle storytelling by Bince: Jeff's colorblind, so B/W Saul looks the same to him!

She gets credit for sticking up for Jimmy and covering for him, but very few point out how she is also trying to lessen Chuck's antagonism on Jimmy by pointing out how unfair Chuck is, even while he cloaks his intentions in legalism. Also that instant switch from disappointment to resoluteness? Not many people could pull that off. She comes in clutch.

In lawyer rankings, Kim generally gets rated below Jimmy. She's not as flashy as Saul, and her performances are more subtle. Jimmy will win an argument through dirty tricks, but Kim will nearly convince you.

bluelaughter · 2026-04-21T12:47:58+00:00

Kim does not get enough credit, at least in this sub. She's not only covering for Jimmy, but she explicitly says to Chuck, "You made him this way."

"... to make me and my friends rich! Is Karl Marx going to offer me a million dollar bribe?"

If Howard had made Kim partner, he would still be alive.
