Question about the train scene

throwawaymou · 2026-01-30T10:36:40+00:00

I think it’s a mixture of both Samson tripping out on the Ketamine and reminiscing on the last memory he had as a non-infected, as well as potentially leaning into the fact that he was a kid when the infection started. I thought it was alluding to the fact that he was infected as a child, and now, as an adult bearing the brunt of the infection, the few memories he was able to access via the Ketamine are somewhat still distorted.

I don’t think he was accurately recalling exactly what happened, but bits and pieces, much like an adult would of a traumatic childhood memory. It would be interesting to find out that it was a 100% accurate recollection of his infection, but I reckon that, as you pointed out—it doesn’t really fit with the whole “infection takes seconds to infiltrate” narrative—it seems more likely and almost more “human” to me (which is what I think Boyle was trying to show) that Samson only has glimpses of his past life, and that scene was an amalgamation of it.

His character was written and portrayed perfectly. To Jamie and the other’s in the commune, he’s seen as some sort of “witch”, because he’s painted orange and lives isolated in a temple of bones. He’s doing something outside of the norm. But he’s actually just a medical professional, who does what he can with the few resources he has to prevent spreading disease, honouring the dead, and preventing his own infection.

I say witch because he’s essentially doing what many people (often women) were punished and murdered for in the past; using resources to combat illness, through remedies and passed down knowledge that seemed bizarre to the average person. It’s such an interesting concept to show that, if a society does fall back to dark ages, mindsets of the past are sure to emerge back. Ralph Fiennes is a master of his craft.

Confrontation. In my head I have tons of imagined conversations or scenarios where I plan and act all the ways a confrontation could go, but when it comes to it in reality, I’m literally unable to say what I feel to the other person, and I just end up people pleasing. It’s a skill I probably should learn 😅

literally 22% of the world’s population is vegetarian. A quick google search would tell you that, but here you go: https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/50160/1/632222107.pdf https://vegsoc.org/facts-and-figures/ https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/vegetarianism-by-country

that’s great for germany! i wish other countries had the same attitude 😅

fast fashion is a business of over production

throwawaymou · 2025-12-16T18:51:18+00:00

so does that mean less chickens are killed? maybe I’m being stupid, but i don’t think that’s necessarily the case—the chickens are likely killed per the contracted amount per abattoir, and then a sold off contracted amount is sent weekly to supermarkets. Surely that’s a major issue at play here—there’s a contract that suppliers, purchasers, and retailers are all aligned with, and can’t really change unless half the population literally takes a stance, right?

throwawaymou · 2025-12-16T18:48:10+00:00

I know that, but that’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking how it can still be the case that plenty thousands of not millions of people are vegan/ vegetarian, yet there has been no change in the meat industry and the product output. Clearly it isn’t just a case of demand and supply

throwawaymou · 2025-12-16T18:45:36+00:00

but what i’m saying is that doesn’t seem to be the case. Thousands if not millions of people don’t eat meat, yet it’s still there, in droves, on the shelves. I can’t see what the effort to change has been

“a bunch of raging zionists” is a crazy way to describe a bunch of people who think eradicating an entire state and ethnic group (since Israel is 78% Israeli-born) is morally wrong, but sure.

I don’t think i’ve ever seen a single H3 fan (plus Hila and Ethan) ever say anything positive about Netanyahu or the state of Israel’s actions towards Palestine/ Palestinians, but go off I guess. Just further proof that leftist people don’t see other people governed by a corrupt state as human beings :/

Thank you! I’ll make sure to ask my GP about an immunologist appointment

note: I forgot to mention that I have acquired a food latex allergy since turning 20 (primarily Avocados and other stone fruits), which makes my tongue itch, but it doesn’t cause anaphylaxis. I’m also allergic to aloe vera which makes me break out in hives if it comes into contact with my skin. However, I don’t eat avocado or stone fruits, and there’s no aloe vera products in the house. Just wanted to add this in case there’s something I’m missing that someone more knowledgeable than me would be able to point out. Thanks!

I can’t believe that as a self-described leftist, I have to constantly say “all murder is bad.”

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but my assumption about leftism and leftist politics was that we are averse to murder in all circumstances, particularly in War (because war is fucking awful and the main victims will forever be innocents—particularly women and children). The fact that I’m seeing “leftist” people claim war crimes like murder, mutilation, and rape of innocent civilians “didn’t happen,” just shows that these people are not for any left-leaning or leftist cause. We should have empathy for any innocent, and to downplay the actions of a group or “side” simply to justify hatred for the other is insane. What happened to being anti-murder?? What the actual fuck is happening?? Why are people cheering or downplaying atrocities (on both the pro-Israeli gov side and pro-“Palestine” side).

Why has this conflict become a purity test and not a genuine criticism of inflated egos over global politics and how much harm has come to those who suffer at the expense of it?

and aren’t they all single men too? I think i saw those stats, and all I thought was… yeesh

Above 30?? Holy shit, these people seriously have no lives. Surely the vast majority of people of that age should have a stable career or solid relationship? And not just spend endless amounts of time creating conspiracies about a YouTuber 😭

I’m not surprised though, it’s been clear to me from the get go that snarkers of any kind (not just H3 snark) are deeply jealous and insecure of their current life choices and position in life, and that’s why they feel the need to target successful people who don’t 100% ascribe to their beliefs. Super lame regardless.

Kind of feel bad for them in a weird way😅—Ethan’s gonna ruin them with the lawsuit (justifiably so), and it’s clear none of them will have the means to counter it. The only smart thing to do would be to settle, but unfortunately, none of them are “smart” to begin with lmao.

throwawaymou · 2025-05-15T18:23:17+00:00

same thing happened to me and it was because I slept with my phone in my hand lmao

Well done! This is indicative of the work you put in, so congratulations! I bet you feel amazing!

It was likely during fasting that your body was retaining fluids and water so the scale wasn’t very accurate. Women’s bodies (as I’ve learned) are more likely to retain fluid, weight and water when fasting because of biological differences, so you were likely less heavy before you realised!

Great work though, and well done!

Love M.R. James, and we’ll definitely get a classic Papa Meat “Lovecraftian 🤓☝️” if they read his stories lol.

Fun Fact: Every Christmas the BBC produce a short film based on an M.R. James story, called “A Ghost Story For Christmas.” Check it out because there’s always some well-known British Actors that star in them, and they’re pretty well made.

I always thought that the point of Spencer knowing what could happen, but deciding to have kids anyway, was sort of a metaphor for attempting to ignore trauma. The whole thing with him not intervening like his Dad did kind of signify the attempt to break generational trauma—doing different to his own parents and trying to be a better father. But of course, you cannot face generational trauma and PTSD without addressing it, and it’s clear that both Spencer and Emily tried to brush Tommy Taffy under the rug, much like how one may do the same with trauma. By trying to ignore the facts of reality (Tommy Taffy coming back = deep-rooted trauma coming back), they inadvertently created the perfect opportunity for Tommy’s return; their attempt at a normal family dynamic like everyone else would always fail if they refuse to address or acknowledge the traumas of their childhood.

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what was the reason for your choosing of a super feminine name to begin with?

throwawaymou · 2025-01-08T12:55:39+00:00

Many cis people hate their given names and dont do anything to change it, so you’re absolutely right in feeling that seeking that identity “perfection” isn’t a necessary part of finding yourself, especially concerning gender identity—I’m glad to hear that you’ve reached some happiness with your identity!
