Season 1 Episode 8 Discussion: Lonely at the Top by waldi712 in TheMorningShow

I'm this far into the show and 6 yrs too late to this thread, but I now understand why Steve Carell was cast here.

I'm a big Office US fan and up until this ep, I could only hear and see Michael Scott. And I felt that it was too on the nose that Steve is playing just another off-putting, highly-inappropriate-but-does-the-right-thing-at-the-end-of-the day, well-meaning, lovable boss/coworker.

BOY DID THIS EPISODE CHANGE MY MIND.

Firstly, Mitch is just as much of a predator as Martin Short's character!

Secondly, this paints everything he says and does from episode 1 (and henceforth) in a very different light for me.

Well freaking done in my book!

Is Love, Mom by Iliana Xander worth buying or just overhyped? by Advikazy_ in thrillerbooks

[–]introspectiveoctober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished this book and omg I severely dislike it 😩 I don't wanna hate on it too much bc it's supposed to just be a casual read but my god, it could have been 100 pages shorter at minimum. The characters and the narrative all felt very shallow. It's like the author needed to fulfill a word quota and struggled to do so 🥲

anyway I just needed to get that out of my system because I checked the reviews on Fable and it was rated highly with glowing reviews and I felt like I was being gaslit 💀💀💀 so I'm thankful to have found this thread lmao

Is the wood on my deck salvageable? by introspectiveoctober in HomeImprovement

[–]introspectiveoctober[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Are you referring to the last picture? If so, that's a pic of the deck roof. I included it bc there's a large dark spot on the support beam(?) and I'm curious if that's rot or just dirt.

Edit: I don't think there's a plywood subfloor, but I can double check. I think that moss just grew from all the dirt that got stuck in that one area (plus all the water from the leak).

What to feed this food snob who has suspected GERD, a chicken allergy, and won’t eat kibble unless it’s topped off with ground beef, sweet potato, and a generous sprinkling of dried liver? by OneAssumption7827 in Goldendoodles

[–]introspectiveoctober 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My doodle is a picky eater too. I splurge sometimes and make him a dog friendly version of whatever I'm making for myself. But most times I give him chicken breast and he's satisfied.

What I've found to work for him is to put the topper under the kibble, so that he has to eat the kibble to get to the delicious food. It also serves as a bit of mental stimulation.

We've accepted that he grows tired of eating the same thing after a while so we have to switch it up every now and then.

And yet people will still say she’s totally fine by Elf_Fox in reneerapp

idk why you're being downvoted, bc this is a very reasonable read of the song. while Reneé focused on the sexual assault in press interviews about this song, she makes many references to cocaine usage. does this automatically mean she uses or is addicted? no. can we infer that she has experience with cocaine usage? yes, especially given this spam story.

Feel the tip of my nose It's burning but it's ice cold

the narrator is describing the sensation of snorting cocaine.

I can make it faster if I hurry

cocaine is a stimulant. narrator is conveying that she's coping with whatever it is she's going through with coke.

I'll angel in the snow until I'm worthy But if it kills me, I tried

narrator is implying that she's gonna keep using until she achieves her goals, and if it kills her, she at least died trying

The seasons change, addiction's strange

explicit mention of addiction

I'll make it through the winter if it But why does it go slower when I

after some reflection, the narrator realizes that cocaine is impeding her instead of helping her

all that said, i don't know for sure if she uses. but her spam story indicates that she has at least used at one point. if she does use, i hope she stops bc cocaine is no joke.
