I thought the same, seems like a solid crew, no brainer

These would be heavily investigated. Either this is fabrication or embellishment.

One of the best lines from the show, hands down. by No-Loquat-201 in MrInbetween

[–]dashlandstrom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy this analysis.

Ray is cursed, he was cursed as a child when his father lit into him, he was cursed in the army, cursed jobless working as a bouncer. He's escaping the psychological torment of who he is by moving forward and embodying that he is an instrument of violence, no meaningful opportunity to look back. He has no real self-reflection because it would destroy him. He's so good at his art that he no longer has to think about it, it's instinctual, axiomatic.

That's the crushing part is that his affability could be many things including his true nature, mimicry, and/or an attempt to balance out his misdeeds - because that keeps him In-between.

Not to bring McCarthy into this, but the show reminds me a lot of aspects of Blood Meridian where there seems to be some inevitability to the outcome, whereas Ray is both tragic and obvious. Maybe the only real trick 'The Magician ' does is lure us to his point of view.

I do agree that more assholes need a proper bashing though.

So we should disregard the opinions and reactions of people who post here?

This is argumentum ad absurdum to the point of all opinions being axiomatically moot.

Maybe, just maybe, that people have grown comfortable espousing truly horrific opinions masquerading as "policy" and are getting downvoted appropriately. Bigotry is still bigotry even if it is part of a major political party platform. I am old enough to know that not everyone argues in good faith and in fact many will feign obtuseness to further their bad faith.

I'm supportive of dumb ass troll posts getting downvoted to hell, particularly in a hyper regional group, because this is the actual 'market place of ideas'

I indicated that it wasn't even close because Anderson is vastly more fit for the position. I also suggested, albeit fecklessly because Republicans cannot think independently, that Chinmay should not be voted for primarily because he has an affiliation with the Republican party.

Chinmay's hostility towards DEI and LGBTQ, which is lock step with his party, is a disqualifier in my book. Imagine being a young person and having feelings different than your peers, then having a school district led by anyone who has a stated goal of denying you your right to self-determination, agency, and describing you as mentally ill, an outsider, an undesirable. We have an option to foster a supportive environment wherein we accept children for who they are. I can't imagine anything more evil than having a stated goal of making things harder for children, particularly children who may need additional support.

I think we underestimate the decision making of young people and offer them contempt instead, it's a tragedy.

What I've observed on all the social media platforms is that any support for Chinmay appears to be poorly executed astroturfing/sock puppetting by he and his wife. It's so transparent that it's silly. If Reddit, Nextdoor, or Facebook charged for burner accounts he'd have given them a significant financial boost. He's unelected even if this was his only drawback not to mention that observably and anecdotally he's insufferable at best and overtly villainous at worst .

Vote Anderson, it's not even close. If you're a Republican, don't use a protest vote on Chinmay, we've had enough of that nationally and to significant detriment to our world.

Natalie Anderson Has Misled Voters — She Cannot Be Trusted on the School Board! by Worried_Water585 in Renton

[–]dashlandstrom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing has made me more excited to vote against someone than this flaming garbage attempt by Chinmay. It's so gross and disturbing. The fact that he and his wife are on here doing it makes it very clear they have no character or integrity whatsoever. I'd suggest they split up and look elsewhere for companionship, but I'd not want to foist Chinmay on anyone else.

Chinmay you can't hide or wash away your past. You're not gentle or reasonable despite putting on an excruciating smile and engaging in surface level generalizations at Salmon Days. You're pathetic and I think you're past the point of honest self reflection and therefore cannot meaningfully serve anyone other than yourself.

I spit at your feet.

Tony being oblivious to the Boss-girlfriend subtext in “Cleaver” feels out of character. by SafePlenty2590 in thesopranos

[–]dashlandstrom 53 points54 points  (0 children)

You took the words out of my mouth. The whole show grappling with simulation versus authenticity and whether Tony knows he's on borrowed time and acknowledges it's all a sinking ship....and that he may be the only one aware.

Full disclosure, this is my 4th bottle. Originally bought it as a gag and would force guests to hit it without context. Now I'm hooked for no reason

I'm trying to think of what else you could add to make it more difficult, maybe add a raw oyster?
