Perhaps, but don’t forget that he is enabling that budding sociopathic child who stops by to pick up his laundry and torment Doug.  One could imagine that child growing up to do all manner of horrible deeds.

Oops, I pretty much just posted the same thing, without seeing if anyone else had already made the same point.

I didn’t take it that way at all, rather that the total # of points needed to be earned to get into the Good Place is based on age. That means that whatever points Doug earned would be great for a younger person, but not so great for a 68-year old.

I’m not sure that that’s what it means. Rather, that whatever the glitch is (intentional or not), Mindy’s experience was so unexpected that it put her on the cusp between the Good and Bad Place.

I agree that most people would be miserable in isolation. But when we first meet Mindy she’s chillin in her garden naked. She’s friendly to Eleanor and Chidi, but isn’t desperate for their company.  And she has regularly scheduled “self-love” time that she wasn’t willing to alter just because two people stopped by…

I know a number of people have posited that there is no Good Place, but there has to be based on what little we know. When Mindy died, there was a debate about where she should end up. If there was no actual Good Place option, what would there be to debate? As others have noted, there are probably just very few people…

Also, as someone who currently lives in Oregon where there are so few POC, I am glad to see that the state stays Blue the majority of the time.

Thanks for the excellent graphic. But one of the takeaways that I have is that it so clearly illustrates why White men don’t want POC to vote. The upper left example is what they fear the most, followed by the upper middle.

I’ve gone through people’s responses about what eps were missed, and agree with most of them, but no one’s mentioned Frasier Crane’s Day Off. I wouldn’t put it in the top five, but among the top 10 or 15.

My problem with that sequence is a little different. My guess is that he is not fluent in Spanish, so the initial mistake is, I suppose, understandable. What I don’t get is if he said the wrong word initially, then why would he catch the mistake when the fencing instructor says back to him “I didn’t take your shoes.”…

I think you nailed the assessment of the responder. (I quickly looked through some of his/her posts after my response to you and they do seem to be quick bursts of random criticism devoid of context. I guess I expect too much from internet trolls, such as classic what-aboutisms.)

I think the person that responded to you was either (a) responding to something else entirely or (b) is doing a type of trolling that is divorced from the content s/he’s responding to. There’s a post from him/her below asking for something to be deleted, calling it shit.

I didn’t know that there was a market for moustache wax, artisanal or otherwise.

I think what it is is that he’s very right-adjacent:

I know from your responses to others that you are merely being provocative, so I am responding to you at my own peril.

Agreed. Using the activity that woman complained about and turning it up to 11. Well done!

Thanks so much for posting this clip of Powell. Given today’s political climate, it was lovely to hear such well-reasoned, sane comments made by a Republican. It’s a bit like finding a unicorn. 

I really struggle with trying to understand some people’s inclination to say “but, but [his legacy, his shows, his donations to HBCUs]...”

You much more thoroughly and eloquently made a point I made above and for that you get a star.

No argument there. I had a smidgen of, won’t quite call it respect, perhaps a smidgen of less disdain for him when he failed to endorse Trump during his convention speech, but that went away fast, and even more so after his testimonial for Trump in Time.
