Robin Williams was either a terrible actor or lazy. Even among the movies he did agreed to be good, he's the same character he played in his standup; coked out, irresponsible, making irrelevant jokes and mugging at the worst times. Even in the so-called dramatic turns. A guy like Jim Carrey can do a dramatic movie and pull it off without reminding me that he did a routine where his rear end in a top hat talked. Robin Williams is always a second from a Yakov Smirnoff impersonation. I'll give him Jumanji though. Funny how the one time he's convincing me, he's playing the extremely-Robin Williams role of a grown man whose mental development stopped at age ten.

I actually agree with the sentiment of that list though I don't have experience with most of the properties. Breaking Bad's ending is actually the worst thing about the show. The whole show is weakened by the fact that in the end the villainous sociopath more or less accomplishes every goal he sets out to do. I don't think that's actually a particularly unpopular opinion because I've seen plenty of people say Better Call Saul is a better show because it has all the same quality as Breaking Bad but follows a more realistic character/plot. I actually like Rick and Morty but I think it's a lot funnier than it has any right to be for what it is. No one will ever convince me to give the Souls games a shot because I've always been a huge bullet hell fan and the fact that people talk about how Souls games are a return to "classic difficulty" that doesn't exist elsewhere has completely turned me off of them. My own opinion on popular media: I loving love the ideas presented in Black Mirror but feel like the execution is never that good.

I'll probably spend too many hours playing video games till I die, but I do not give a poo poo about classic hardcore complex difficulty for elite players I am not 13 anymore and I just cannot spend that much time playing or studying video game strategy.

It's difficult in the sense that you're supposed to play it without knowing what's coming next, and having to earn knowledge is a victory in and of itself. Guides to min-max or speedrun or play the drat thing with a Guitar Hero controller are beside the point. That having been said, yeah it's definitely too much of a time investment if you're over 18 and moderately busy. It's the same reason I haven't even bothered with The Witcher 3, but still find the pick-up-and-play aspect of Overwatch and Guild Wars 2 manageable.

Unrelated: people who treat addiction as a moral failure are loving poo poo. First of all, addiction is a medical condition and inherently irrational. Your brain gets hosed and literally screams that your substance of choice is as necessary as food, water, and air. You cannot just decide to stop anymore than you can decide to stop eating. Secondly, it is a medical condition, and withdrawal can kill. There should be no shame in showing up to an ER, declaring what you're on, and asking to be professionally medicated and monitored through the critical period, possibly with further prescriptions and checkups as you get past acute detox. (also this should not cost 20,000 dollars but that's a whole nother post) Thirdly, it is a medical condition, and it is not some easy way out. Being an addict loving sucks and no one chooses it. It is not an easy, lazy life, it is the loving opposite.

I don't disagree with you but the notion of what "addiction" is in society has gone beyond a sheer medical definition. Every day I see people post on Facebook about their coffee "addiction", we hear about celebrities going to rehab for "sex addiction", hell even people claiming to be addicted to chocolate or other sweets. The word has grown beyond its strict medical definition to also be used as shorthand for "something I like doing in excess but know I shouldn't", so it's easy for people to get the medical aspect confused with the moral failing of consuming too much whatever.

Nobody dies of caffeine withdrawal though. Plus even among the "addicted" its more of a habit than something their brain thinks it desperately needs. Like you'll never see someone pawn their parents television or prostitute themselves out just to fund their coffee habit. Part of it is due to the price and legality but considering how mild the withdrawal is compared to something like alcohol withdrawal, most people would just stop using caffeine if it became illegal.

Isn't one of the first things you have to do in AA to admit you are powerless over your addiction? Anyway, I definitely agree the addict isn't entirely blameless, especially if they know their family has a history like with alcoholism. Nobody is born an alcoholic, but if you start drinking knowing you probably will get addicted to it if you aren't extremely careful, then yeah that part is on you. Once you are addicted though, it starts to be less under your control. In the end it will still require your own conscious decision to stop, but most people can't come to that decision on their own while addicted and need some outside motivation - whether that's AA, a friend/their kid telling them to get their poo poo together, something has to override the addiction and become more important than the good feelings that come with whatever drug they are hooked on. So in summary I think it's right in treatment to focus on the fact that he process of getting addicted was a result of their bad decision making - not to make them feel like a bad person because they aren't necessarily, but to understand what made them make those choices. It's kind of tricky because yes the addicted person is responsible for what they did while addicted (hence why making amends is a big part of recovery), but in personal experience if you make it all about how they're a bad degenerate who should have known better you risk driving them even deeper into it because they think "well my family doesn't even like me so why bother". Like on one hand you can't coddle them and say it was all the liquor or whatever because it wasn't, but on the other I think you have to keep more harsh criticisms restrained, at least in the early phases where they are still at a large risk of relapse. standard disclaimer of not being a doctor and only speaking from personal experience with addicts/addiction.

it's more an argument against thinking addicts aren't decision-making agents whatsoever than it is denying that their decision making hasn't been compromised in some way by abnormal reward feedback loops/chemical dependency which can be hard to understand if you haven't suffered from it (i haven't but i know people that have); if you can accept both statements as being true then you can develop treatment plans that acknowledge that a patient's future decision making will involve the premise that consuming certain substances will be uniquely desirable to them in a way that seems irrational to outsiders and that they'll have to work around that knowledge to not make the same mistakes in the future step 2 of AA btw is essentially a refutation of step 1 if you're an atheist/agnostic and step 3 already invokes changes in personal decision-making as being the key to turning over a new leaf, i do not know of any program that seriously encourages addicts to think of themselves as totally helpless when all is said and done

AA works great for some people and not at all for others. The problem is that society tends to view it as a one-size-fits-all treatment for everyone, which that's only true in about 1/3 of cases.
