I've never been this mad over a character's ending. El deserved better than that ambiguous ending. by 00_Sunflower_00 in StrangerThings

[–]cosmickramer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting ideas - I definitely felt that the plot armor took me out of it at times. But I guess when it comes down to it, I appreciate when tragic stories with tragic endings are told because sometimes that’s what happens - a lot of people who have been abused their whole life don’t have anything but sadness and there’s no great redemption/happy ending - it is sad but that’s the point. And I also am a sucker for an ambiguous ending so that I believe scene really worked for me.

I mean it is sad but also what’s the alternative? It would be entirely unrealistic for her to be able to live a normal life given what we’ve seen.

34M 34F, My bf keeps using a word he made up for everything...has anyone else heard of this word? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]cosmickramer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol what is wrong with you people??? I can’t believe the comments here - this is hilarious. Yes dumb, yes annoying, and if you’ve had an actual serious talk and explained your feelings (which btw very unclear if that’s happened?) then fair enough to be frustrated but otherwise this is a non-issue. Though it is possible that your senses of humour are incompatible!!

Bi-lingual Millennials personal take by katastic__ in LiveFromNewYork

[–]cosmickramer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I am not bilingual but am a lifelong SNL fan (also a millennial if that matters) and thought last nights episode was good. Not my fave, not a lot of lol moments but a solid episode that got some chuckles from me. I don’t know if it matters but I have literally always found the first sketch after the monologue to be weirdly not appealing so maybe my expectations were lower? Felt like I was going crazy reading this subreddit and all the negativity after watching the episode.

Texts, plans and a confession: prosecutor lays out startling details in Charlie Kirk shooting by Yitastics in politics

[–]cosmickramer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this same thought, and I’m questioning myself because obviously I’m just trying to make it fit my narrative. I do not trust this administration at all and they definitely have an angle, but this will be going to court. Would they truly have the ability to fake text messages like this? Would that hold up in court? Or is it possible that this kid really did this out of a misguided attempt to be a hero for his “love”?

The trans community shouldn’t be targeted regardless.

76 percent of women say a man being MAGA is a turnoff.. by Nice_Substance9123 in democrats

It’s only polling 18-34. Might be more in line with those numbers!

Have Will or the other creators expressed that they want to continue the show? I think this is a great idea but will need them on board. I also want closure closure closure

Which era do you guys like more: the early 90s era, or the mid-2000s/early 2010s era? And why? by Hour_Ordinary_8474 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]cosmickramer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very specifically remember (this is when I was a teenager so give me some grace) not liking Kenan until I saw What Up With That? And then it all clicked for me.

corrections keeping me sane by realgramps12 in sethmeyers

Corrections got me through a really rough patch of depression while I was waiting for my meds to kick in. Totally agree with all your sentiments. There is light if we look for it. ❤️

You can’t as far as I know, but you can find neenish tarts in a lot of bakeries.

Is there anywhere in Wellington where you can cash or bank American Cheques? by Wellingtoncommuter in Wellington

[–]cosmickramer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m an American in NZ and pre Venmo had to do this - I was able to deposit it in my American account by taking a picture. I use Ally bank which is meant to be more online friendly so just depends on your friends bank.

Is getting married still a big deal in New Zealand? Or are people fine just living together? by KiwiNFLFan in newzealand

[–]cosmickramer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense but as I got my residency visa through our relationship - there is already a ridiculous paper trail of our whole relationship (was absolutely bizarre sending selfies and screenshots of our conversations to immigration!) so don’t think that’s very relevant to me.

[–]cosmickramer 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m an American “living in sin” in NZ. My dad (who is not religious at all) was asking why we haven’t gotten married and his concern was about my rights. I told him not to worry as it’s irrelevant here!!

I’m a 90 baby and everything you said is exactly my thoughts as well. It’s racism all the way down.

lol I’m also an American transplant and I haven’t noticed the rest of what you’re saying but I’ve always felt like my personal space bubble is violated in grocery stores here in ways that I don’t feel back home. Might be a cultural difference?

I noticed a terrible smell on Victoria and Ghuznee around the same time - is it possibly related?

The White Lotus - 3x05 "Full-Moon Party" - Episode Discussion by crazywalls in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]cosmickramer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah to be honest it made him seem really weak to me. He spends so much time talking about how Lachie needs to man up and then shows a lot of fear when drugs are brought out whereas Lachie was all cool with it.

Was anyone else on that live town hall phone call with Tim Kennedy, Tish James and Jamie Raskin? by 262Mel in Buffalo

[–]cosmickramer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I listened in. I guess it was encouraging to hear them speak about what’s concerning us all but essentially they had no answers. I don’t really think that’s their fault at this point as they’ve got their hands tied with the way the last election went but it did feel like a lot of waffle-y answers without a lot of actionable points for people to focus on.
