Well obviously the robots would be good instead of evil that way

Plot twist, Marx and Lenin are men. And she really put together that sick outfit without a word??

Hell yeah, Jurrother (I’m sorry)

To be fair, I did use a controller, so it wasn’t that bad. It even ran way better with the hd mod than the 360 version ever did.

I did get kind of masochistic with it though lol. My last run was a soul level 1 that I think I stopped playing around Anor Londo. If I remember correctly, the archers were rage inducing and I never got back into it. It’s probably still my all-time favorite game, jank and all.

Oh I played the hell out of the Prepare to Die edition of Dark Souls. Keyboard and mouse was the objectively wrong way to play the game lmao

I thought you needed a body part to resurrect? I might be thinking Pathfinder, though cause I mostly play that.

Hey, that rules-lawyering is someone’s fun!

Just adding this to the watchlist, don’t mind me. The name’s on her apron for anyone wondering

Mad Men was hard for me to keep up with because I just hated everyone and it made me angry

There are a few moments that nod straight to Breaking Bad though, like Tuco’s entry. It had me fanboying and hyped for the directing/writing especially across shows. I also feel like you can really get a sense of the writers’ personal development coming off of Breaking Bad, like they refined so much that was already some of the best TV. And the contrast between Walt’s unreal saga and how Saul is so humanized; he’s deeply flawed but just a guy trying to make it.

I really need to finish Better Call Saul.

I can’t believe I forgot about Letterkenny. The riffing is just so good, it doesn’t get old, and every character is perfect. And the music, especially season one’s display is exactly my taste. The whole show is top notch, but season one is something special.

Schitt’s Creek, too. Both are Canadian gems. I love how like half of the cast is Eugene Levy’s family, and Dan Levy is bae. It’s one of the few comedies to bring me to tears, I’m pretty sure more than once.

So many shows have to be tied for number one for me lmao. Every time I look back at this thread the list gets longer.

I was recently watching Archer again, so I’ll have to see how the later seasons hit this time around. It’s one of those shows I’ve watched multiple times over (all the shows I mentioned are, honestly) and it seemed to fall off, but I might have just been finally burnt out lol.

And that’s a good point about Bob’s Burgers. It’s always pretty wholesome. I almost forgot about all the songs, too. They’re so good!

It’s Always Sunny and Bob’s Burgers are standouts for me, along with a lot of this thread.

I guess I’d categorize them both as shows where every character, however minor, contributes perfectly to the hilarity and overall vibe of the show. Really, any show with great chemistry/cohesion and ownership of the characters, where you couldn’t change a single thing to make it better. Psych and Futurama are a couple mentioned that fit the bill. Others are on the tip of my tongue but not coming to me. Oh, King of the Hill!

The best thing about IASIP and Bob’s Burgers is there isn’t a single off/bad episode in the first like 12 and 5 seasons, respectively. I stopped keeping up with both at some point when I was up to date and waiting. There’s not really a bad episode in any of those shows.

What I really like about Bob’s Burgers is how they record all together and have a lot of fast quipping and reactive energy.

Oh, and Archer! At least until things really switched up.

I’d like to see that soggy beastlet try to start a fire (that isn’t in my heart)

Nnyohmygod

Took a second to figure out the orientation here, and dang he’s a little flying fluffball! Brb while I look up hoary bats to see if they’re all just naturally chunks.

From a logical standpoint, I think sticking to fundamentals and, like Cowbee says, letting common sense do some legwork is a good approach.

There are so many learned misconceptions whether through propaganda or simple ignorance. I really think the best way to combat it is by explaining them away one by one, building from fundamental concepts on up.

Like the other day I realized a lot of people think communism or a social economic structure means everyone “makes” the same amount, regardless of labor. I thought this at one point. Conveying the correct concepts may seem straightforward from a socialist understanding, but there can be so much more to clear up along the way for a person that has never thought into it at any level.

Again, as Cowbee points out, the sensible analysis will show through, and I think it’s finding a good approach to conveying that analysis that is so hard. As with teaching anything, a good grasp of the person’s worldview/values/beliefs is key to walking through that analysis in an effective way for them to digest. The secondary issue is having a good enough grasp on it yourself to connect the dots that you might find intuitive or take for granted, which someone else does not.

I’m kind of obsessed with the “theory of understanding”, for lack of a better term, so I hope I didn’t ramble too much. Thinking about thinking is fun lol.

Yes, but that doesn’t make it less true

Just cast a spell, dork

Edit: also this is a sorcerer, Picard Maneuver, you heathen

Being worried about the present keeps the mind from focusing on the deeper stuff, at least for me.

I’ve self sabotaged many relationships this way. It’s kind of similar to functioning better under pressure in my case, and it could be due to a whole host of psychological underpinnings like feeling undeserving or being acclimated to struggle. I feel out of my element when things are going well a lot of the time.

Thanks for coming to my therapy session.
