the main dude on that show basically just gets into relationship after relationship after relationship, but the instant either he or the woman display the slightest hint of a trait that doesn't perfectly match their ideal version of a partner he breaks it off and basically goes "someday the absolute 100% perfect girl for me will just fall into my arms, as i wander slackjawed around NYC"

Pick posted:what the eff? Like I said the titular mother, his children, their lives together; none of it matters to Ted Mosby. He wants the woman who liked a blue french horn and married a friend of his for a decade. His wife dying is less tragic in the story than convenient, and it comes across so crass you wonder if Mosby didnt have her killed now that his original love was single again. His true love by the by, dumped him originally because he was a terrible person with no direction or value. He never changes or grows, she just gets worn down by time enough to be ok with being with him.

His own children who listened to his story tell him that obviously he loves New York woman still despite him refering to her as "aunt" to them for their whole lives and that he should stop talking to them and run out and profess his love to her because she must love him too. The writers unapologetically said this was their vision for the show. Barudak fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Apr 6, 2017 |

By the way, shows like this exist for women too and I still suspect it's an illuminai-run conspiracy to keep people from finding free happiness and lure them into the emotional death spiral of mindless consumerism and its fleeting, unsatisfying highs barudak, you work in marketing, am I right or completely right?

Like it would probably be a good marketing move for Nestle or one of those other supercorps to fund TV shows that imply that relationships and family are poo poo but that buying things makes you feel really super good. It's basically just more insidious subliminal messaging. And sure, it'll benefit your competition too, but it's a rising-tide situation for sellers of consumer goods.

It's ever so slightly less cringey in-universe since the implication is that he doesn't move on for quite a while, but in terms of how the show presents it to us, we find out she died in like the last 15 minutes, and he hooks up with the first girl like 2 minutes later. And this is after there's an entire episode about letting his feelings for her go, at which point she flies away like a balloon.

Characters can't change and grow, that's hard to write. Much easier to make them cartoonish.

Pick posted:dont worry the non broccoli wasting girl is out there. i suggest nyc broccoli specifically just works with almost anything, generic mixed veggies as a side, stir fry, in a creamy pasta dish, soups, salads, outside of dessert I think it'd be a legitimate difficult to find something it pairs badly with. It's also not expensive really but not super cheap either, like 1-2 bucks/lb which is totally reasonable but you can get cheap bone in cuts of meat for same price, just seems like a waste to me.

SpaceClown posted:actually re-reading that story has made me mad again Yeah, I woulda punched that guy in the throat and hitchhiked to the funeral if I had to. I understand she might not be able to do that. I didn't hesitate to go to the funeral of my alcoholic friend just because I'm sober. It wasn't even a car crash or whatever, he literally drank himself to death over time. After about 15 years of abuse his organs were mush and he was having seizures and he just loving died despite his and my efforts. Was I furious? Sure. Would I have let anything short of my own death stop me from honoring my lost friend? No. Hell, if this girl can't make the funeral, she should hold a wake in her home and then break up with her bf and every naysaying fucker from her life.

Sometimes you don't need to know what's behind that door. Also, if you consider yourself pretty kinky what's the problem with getting your rear end in a top hat bleached?

"pretty kinky" tends to mean overweight, a choker and MAYBE being lightly restrained.
