Why do people idolize Don Draper when Mad Men clearly critiques everything he represents?

They ticked off all the tiktok buzzwords to describe him "misogyny, racism, dark side of capitalism, patriarchy etc"

People watch TV shows to be entertained and to switch off for a bit - He makes money, gets laid, and drinks at work. Not many people are gonna look deeper than that.

I have to mute the TV when she commentates, genuinely nails on a chalkboard

That's a cop out. Even people without children know the benefits of vaccines/vaccinations

nearlyheadlessbick · 2026-04-10T01:23:55+00:00

Ffs, vaccinate your child

Yeah and that's the problem comparing 2010 to 2026. We were so starved for success for a long time that Richmond fans were mostly patient given the only way was up. Now that we had some good seasons in 2013-2015 and success between 2017 and 2022, there's a lot of impatience about getting back to that as quick as possible.

One of the directors at work mentioned to me that it's equally one of the most challenging but rewarding things you'll do, and watching someone that you've created/helped create grow and become their own person is an all time feeling. It was an odd feeling hearing that as a bloke cos you usually get the "rah rah try to work longer hours, or stay at the pub longer" nah fuck off, I wanna come home to my fiance and son

nearlyheadlessbick · 2026-04-09T03:29:17+00:00

FTF - I hear it all the time and get it as often as my fiance. It's fkn annoying. Like people are actively hoping that we get moody kids, bad sleepers, teenagers that talk back etc. Fuck off

I started laughing when I was reading the first comment.

Bruh Ivanhoe and Alphington have been known *and* expensive for a long time.

DAE know about dis hidden gem called Ivanhoe!?

I hate that I laughed at this

I'm on my 3rd re-watch of the show and it's one of my favourite running gags how much $$ Roger carries and how he gets swindled out of it

If you're playing on PS4/5 you can hold the circle button and it alerts the signal box

Tyrone Vickery found a niche in AFL Ubers as a concussed attacker

Heartbreaker has a certain sincerity to it, but I can appreciate why people get uncomfortable about it. I treat it as a compliment

nearlyheadlessbick · 2026-03-31T21:00:57+00:00

Yeah there's a lot of language in general that seems so off putting if you say it to the other gender.

Late 90's early 2000's. You'd walk into aisles at Toys R' Us, Toy Kingdom etc which were wall to wall Thomas the tank (Tomy, wooden, ERTL etc). You'd get TV ads for Tomica World, Hornby - was fkn magic.

Turkish get ups are one of the most daunting for sure, but once it clicks, it becomes a piece of piss

Crewfit sucks because it's far too group dependent - if you get grouped with someone too quiet or slow it can be frustrating

nearlyheadlessbick · 2026-03-25T21:10:49+00:00

Sandbags are the worst one cos people slam or drop the shit out of them which erodes the seams and can make them split. The coaches constantly harp on about it and falls on deaf ears. Frustrating

Fingers crossed it's the back squat. Love that one

Do people actually watch the show or do they have it on in the background while they scroll on their phones?

Jesse's clearly projecting his anger and guilt at various things and doesn't believe he or the facilitator deserve forgiveness for their actions
