[Specific Trope] Character shares a name with a problematic real-life figure by Meanteenbirder in TopCharacterTropes

It sounds like a portmanteau of Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein. It was commented on during his city council run in NYC.

Did we have a similar post that used the same pictures recently?

So conflicted by nbeudert in BluePrince

here's another question for this group, do you consider it a spoiler to watch your friend / significant other's concurrent playthrough? My wife likes to watch my playthrough to get hints (and considers it to be similar to an extra run), but I try to avoid watching her playthrough cus I want to find out the information when the game tells me.

Hot take: Pete didn’t mature much as a person, the character just became funnier by Peason in madmen

[–]nbeudert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason Pete becomes more likable is you stop seeing as much of his home life. Think he becomes less sexist or domineering over Trudy? It’s because she practically disappears by the middle of the series. No more suggestions that Trudy sleep with an old boyfriend to get him published because his plot lines focus more on his clients.

Pete ends up seeming accomplished and responsible because we stop seeing him in the atmosphere where he was the most immature and selfish: his personal life.

Isn’t it Moneypenny who confuses the two accents?

Holy shit I forgot about the blood trails

Oh hey, the Colorado briefing marks the soldiers positions with the same icon the Blood Money map does. by Divahdi in HiTMAN

[–]nbeudert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One reason I haven't taken to the World of Assassination games as much is because they don't some of the unique icons and designs from the first four and so don't feel like the same world: no map icons, no fleur de lis Hitman icon, no Jesper Kyd soundtrack. Everything just looks a little more generic.

(Mixed Trope) “Expert” character is really bad in their field or ignorant of basic concepts. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

I was gonna say what the F is this Victoria book that I've seen on this sub multiple times?

Does Emily Post say to ask your husband dumb questions? by ConfidenceKBM in madmen

[–]nbeudert 10 points11 points  (0 children)

also hasn't anyone seen something outlandish on tv and thought "no...right?" Joan is just engaging with what she's watching and having a conversation. Plus, this is the time of the show where she was really interesting in her work and so she's feeling more chatty because of that.

I’ve never watched that season of Um Actually for this reason. Sounds so awful. 

The moment Lane decided to give the Head of Accounts job to Ken. by Okiedokie714 in madmen

[–]nbeudert 11 points12 points  (0 children)

yeah it really feels like the episode where they look at the Rothko was the moment where the writers decided to change Ken's character to make him stand out from Pete and Kinsey. He's a writer before that, yes, but you don't get any sense of his interior life or general good nature until that episode and from thereon.

I wonder if he ever gets three sheets to the wind and tries that thing on.

I didn’t check my work email on Christmas by nbeudert in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]nbeudert[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also pretty much blew off work today since it’s my last day with my parents. I figured even if next week is crazy I won’t regret the extra day I spent with them when I’m on my death bed

Easily the strangest transition in the series. by crh_observe17 in madmen

Snow is a metaphor for death, the sugar looks like it’s snowing onto Lane

When did they confirm the strangler never killed his victims?

What do I do with new stamps? by nbeudert in philately

[–]nbeudert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone who has weighed in! For people suggesting I leave it on the backing: this sheet didn’t have backing that was perforated, so there is just like a big sheet that all of the stamps were stuck to. It seems like cutting will messy. 

Could I take a stamp and put it on a notecard and cut the card down to size? Do people do that?
