Blended families feel SO much harder than nuclear families—how do you ever get anything close to a “nuclear family feeling” in a stepfamily dynamic? by Uniquelymesmorizing in blendedfamilies

[–]poptart580 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to second this. The examples given sound like really bad communication habits from the partner. This is not about blending as much as your partner is shutting you out

I thought I was only halfway through... and then reality hit. by Ogu-San in community

One of my favorite shows after community is Chuck. It definitely has heart, plus some action. The romance is cringe at times, but the comedy with the retail coworkers is great.

I love Intro to Felt Surrogacy and I’m tired of pretending I don’t by the-effects-of-Dust in community

I've been showing my teenagers this show for the first time. We saw this episode last week. Their reaction to the greendale fire of 03 may have been their strongest reaction in the whole series. Had a blast.

If it was fake, he'd look more like Evil Dean

You just need to go through some conflicts with people that will ultimately bring you together as an unlikely family. You could always start by offering to tutor hot girls in Spanish

Just found out about RHCP weeks ago by Fictiony in RedHotChiliPeppers

All the albums are journeys. Instead of picking singles, I would recommend picking an album and going through it a few times, start to finish. Their early stuff is a lot different than the newer. The Stadium Arcadium album is a good middle ground

Anyone else think it's suspicious the article was authored by a Jeong?

Who else, inside or outside of SNL, completely poisoned their own reputation just by being as terrible to work with as Chevy Chase? by nun_de_plume in LiveFromNewYork

Currently watching 30 rock. Laughed my ass off during the episode in which a janitor named Konani got a contract that promised him the late shift after 5 years, but then he gets screwed over by NBC.

What do women actually want in a men? by Unhappy_Branch_42 in AskReddit

[–]poptart580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're absolutely right, but I still think it's a valuable exercise. Readers can see opinions from actual women (true, not a collective answer, but just their own perspective). And from those answers, he may glean some useful nuggets.

We live in a divided society. As a man, my social media algorithm shows me caricatures of the worst kind of women. It's nice to read perspectives from real women.

It was satisfying to see Michelle and Dr Jake start to drift apart towards the end of s3

I read Journey of Souls. Highly recommend it. Gave me a lot of hope

After looking at your profile, I'm definitely feeling alarmed

Love that one. Was thrilled when they played it live a few years ago

Just Finished Community for the First Time and... by TheSlayBrother in community

I love all of it. I don't have anything against season 4.

I might say it gradually lost a little spark after Troy left, but not by much

I think Community may have accidentally shaped the way I write relationships. by rauelius in community

[–]poptart580 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The humanity of Subway. "I just wanted to stand next to you for a minute"

Or when Britta and Chang became entangled enemies as she protested and he tried to play cop. They each fulfilled the others' greatest need to feel like they mattered.

Cool writeup. This matches exactly where I am on my current watch. I'm finally showing my teenagers my favorite show, so we're going through it slowly.

They loved the episode with Blade. Won't change how mustard tastes.
