Yeah, I rewatched the pilot earlier tonight and Eleanor actually suggests that her parents are in The Bad Place torturing each other. It’s within like the first fifteen minutes, and she just drops the whole premise of the show right there.

His change in expression and in total persona at that moment was the pinnacle of the season for me. I had been kind of passively enjoying the show until Suddenly Evil Ted Danson put me in a happy place.

The twist ending of season 1 was pretty much the only ending that would have made sense. I started guessing they were already in hell from pretty early on, because it was a very arbitrary, subjective, and downright cruel portrayal of heaven, any way you looked at it. I mean, the characters were all self-centered…

I haven’t even watched the show

That’s ridicous? It was perfectly plotted through out.

This is so pedantic but I want everyone to watch this show as much as you do: The Good Place airs on NBC, not ABC. (As does AGT but who cares about that?)

yeah, playing as the TMNT during recess would spare you the usual “you can’t be him cuuuuuuz” bullshit. Your post just made me remember that.

Seriously, how they managed to convince millions that cheap chemical-laden lunchmeat and plastic cheese slapped on gross bread is somehow health food is a crime in itself.

My husband is 10 years younger than me, and I approve this message.

One of my childhood friends tried to put his in one of those 90s gel toy things that sort of slipped through your grip (this was 20ish years ago) and it somehow got stuck and wouldn’t just roll off and I distinctly remember seeing him running from the back of his house to the garage where his dad was working, the…

As a woman I am mystified by that tendency. And the thing is they’re so happy to have a dick you’d think they’d be extra cautious with them but, no.

Jason Clarke is only 18 years older than Blake! Progress! [/s]

It would only add context because those two countries (US ans Australia) share a lof of cultural backgorund and one many want to understand the differences in policy that lead to these differences in outcomes. In this case, the crimes are even different (domestic violence vs. random attacks). So I still see no point.

Most people who are raped are raped by acquaintances, so “randos from the internet” are in no way, shape, or form “one of the more obvious situations.”

Yours is a question I’ve seen a lot in different forms, Donegal Fan. Why do women put up with it? Why don’t women call it out? Why don’t women just say no from the start and remove themselves from the situation? Etc.

The man who raped me is the man I got to know through your “safe” alternatives. Mutual friends, met through sports, everyone vouched for him. We were friends before we dated. We dated before he raped me.

This happened to me. He was one of my best friends, or so I thought. We met as college freshmen and were friends for like 7 years. Knew each other’s families, had a joint grad party, helped each other get through tough times, etc. He even introduced me to my current long-term boyfriend.

Happened to me. Was very good friends with a man for several years. When he told me he had feelings or whatever for me, I didn’t reciprocate and he disappeared faster than Houdini. It’s just amazing. He cultivated our friendship for YEARS, apparently hoping for that “in.” There were never any romantic leanings. It’s…

I read a great article once where the gist was “she didn’t friendzone you, you girlfriendzoned her” where it was about women dealing with the fact that guys they thought were good friends of theirs turned out to just have crushes on them and thought if they were friends long enough the girl would fall for them. It was…

I agree that honesty is key!
