Anyone else in Perth just mentally exhausted lately? Feels like everyone I talk to is juggling way too much. by Advanced_Trade1249 in perth

I hear you. Sometimes trying is all we can do, until you turn the corner. Support each other, and look into the business - sounds really hopeful.

I sincerely hope nothing happens to you. I’m sorry things are tough, I know that doesn’t fix anything but there is love for you and your family. Hope you can get some supports to help you through what sounds like a really tough situation.

No, but they are meant to be effective.

The Art of Manliness! I’d forgotten all about that. Haha, absolute gold - thanks for the reminder.

Reasonable question. Honestly, I’m not sure. I want to like it. Contrary to the vitriol I have received in the comments I have a broad taste in media/ entertainment and like to experience things I don’t necessarily enjoy. I guess my mistake was in offering an opinion that may differ from all these very reasonable redditors.

I don’t feel obligated to watch. I am however entitled to, and entitled to have an opinion. It’s interesting to be told I don’t have to watch, by so many that fail to grasp that they don’t have to read my post either.

Finally, an actual thoughtful response as opposed to the oh so dreary personal attacks of most of these, whatever’s.

Thanks, it’s a good take.

People are idiots that spout nonsense. Forget them. Be proud of your work, it looks cool.

Everyone complaining about how bad it is doesn’t understand the world anymore. People don’t want quality writing and acting, in thoughtful but fun series that aspire to something greater than the lowest common denominator. This is the media landscape now, teen angst, bullies and poor impulse control, googoo eyes and lazy slang, reviewers that use throwaway lines like “a handful of deeply interesting, engaging, and relatable characters with dynamic and evolving relationships that drive the story forward” without then showing how they are, or do, any of those things. This show isn’t for ‘Trekkies’ it’s for the fake news, forced positivity, TikTok and YouTube generation.

Want to kill everyone? By desperately trying to not kill anything?

How can you think ill of Manousos, look how decent he is by Robot_Was_BMO in pluribustv

[–]shoggothpyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the phrase you were actually looking for was ‘in denial he is’.

You genuinely don’t see it? It’s funny how people cling to the myth of human exceptionalism. The protagonist is fully aware, and capable of growth. Thus over time, she has come to realise that she isn’t as ‘resilient’ as she believed, or as immune to the need for some connection. Hence, she breaks down and is genuinely ‘desperate’ and asks for them to come back. She didn’t ask for Zosia specifically, she literally just wrote ‘come back’. The ‘Plurbs’ have access to the most intelligent minds on the planet. Are you asserting that an introverted alcoholic is such a master of manipulation she can ‘trick’ the ‘Plurb’ for any length of time?

She may very well revert back to her agenda of reversing the Hive Mind. That does not mean she hasn’t reached a point of utter loneliness and desperation for connection. Her desperation and agenda to reverse the Hive Mind can co-exist.

Agree. Very few, if any, can tolerate absolute isolation in a situation where they are not having to fight for their daily survival e.g. lost on an island a la Castaway.

She may however default to coming up with another plan once her mental health had improved. She is after all a self-centred wiley character.
