No Mods No Masters posted:The vulture article interviewed some people who were not happy about their NFY experiences at all and honestly some of the allegations there were borderline yikes. NFY always walked a fine line, and even nathan in the article admits not perfectly at that quote:“It’s all relative to the sound other people make,” Fielder proposed. “If other people are farting a lot, you’ll never feel self-conscious.”

cant cook creole bream posted:I wonder to what extend his house of cards was constructed. Like, did his group of friends refer him to job positions which require a masters degree for months? Did he fake rejection letters, which imply that it was not due to his education? as usual any time a reality thing is set in NYC, i'm left thinking "how do these dinguses afford to live in NYC" like, the friend... she must have family money or something, you cannot tell me she's making NYC Rent Money being a freelance Thrift Blogger

my theory is that trivia nights are explicitly popular among people who don't actually know that much trivia because of the dunning kruger effect i've been to a few trivia nights and to me all the questions just seemed super easy. like, if you wanna feel really smart about knowing who echo and the bunnymen are, go to a trivia night

TychoCelchuuu posted:It's not a "feature" that if you think about it really hard and pay close attention then you realize that it's likely that Fielder's conversation with Kor's actor took place after, rather than before, Fielder's failure to admit to Kor that Fielder fed Kor the answers. The TV show is not trying to make you realize this. no i disagree, without even noticing the clothing i noticed that the person who reacted was the actor, and not the real Kor, so i knew what was going on, because it's not hard to figure out at all, and i dont think the episode was trying to fool me hth

in re: "really real reality TV", i've been on a kick lately of watching Alone on Netflix and Survivorman (free on youtube). obviously the're still edited because they are television shows, but the lack of any camera crew really makes them feel way more like you're just watching someone, in a way that is not creepy at all

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:It's kind of incredible that I think Nathan only broke character twice in the show that I can easily think of. The grandson piss guy and the exorcism. i think he soft-breaks a lot. like the lawyer guy who was being a dick in the frozen yogurt episode and he was like "don't people who drive porsches have small penises" and especially when the guy is "you said you're a penis expert" and nathan goes "...what?!"

rewatching S4 to get my Nathan fix in prep for tonight (got my NFY shirt, hat and mug ready to go  ), i like how in the middle of the clips of funny stories about being pulled over, he uses a Leah Remini clip where if you know her the context is that the LAPD was literally on the Scientology payroll and harassing herjust one of those little tiny moments of pure darkness he puts in there sometimes lmao

Phenotype posted:hahaha for me this was the other way around -- at first he was coming across as a little eccentric and spiritual and I was like yeah, he's weird but maybe not a bad match for this lady who's also kind of an eccentric spiritual weirdo, but then Nathan goes with him in the car and jeeeez... This is something out of the DSM, right? That sort of obsession with seeing the numbers all around him and assigning some special meaning to them? And the way he shut down completely when his roommate, very reasonably, is like "It's just two numbers, I don't see why that's really significant, don't you think you ought to focus more on this person that you might want to be with?" i see the number 23 everywhere, like many people do, but this guy was just too much even for me like, if you assign significance to every fuckin number, then yeah no poo poo you're gonna see them everywhere  numbers man the technical psych term for it is apophenia. it's fun to have. it really makes you believe you're super insane because your brain constantly finds all these things that, to you, don't seem crazy. like, even though i am aware i'm crazy, i also still kind of believe i'm seeing something that isn't just coincidence. i just frame it as some kind of effect of quantum stuff and consciousness being split across multiple realities. that sort of thing

to be clear, with me it's not just numbers. it's much weirder stuff. like how there's a dude who works at the weed dispensary who one day was dressed exactly like a dead friend of mine, and also looked exactly like him as far as the exact facial hair etc, and i have literally never seen anyone dressed exactly like that except my dead friend and this guy, so my brain is like "SOMEHOW THIS MEANS SOMETHING"

Robin is like, kind of terrifying, for real. i hope he doesn't come back. i'm surprised Nathan even let him come back after he went to his house e: his roommate was definitely tweaking, and Robin had a whole lot of bottles of pills, lmao

edit: haha holy poo poo ^^^^ actually, thinking on it, is it possible that Nathan only let him come back that night because Nathan hadn't brought his own car or production crew? and maybe he was like, too nervous to say anything. i could see that. and maybe his crew actually told Robin he had to go and Robin said that to make it seem like he was leaving by choice

mark immune posted:robin i think has a serious mental illness. the delusional pattern matching and repetition of numbers is alarming like i said above, that's just apophenia, and many many people have it. it's theorized that everyone has it, and that what we call "creativity" is just a side effect of it

Apophenia (/æpoʊˈfiːniə/) is the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things.[1] The term (German: Apophänie from the Greek verb ἀποφαίνειν (apophaínein)) was coined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad in his 1958 publication on the beginning stages of schizophrenia.[2] He defined it as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness".[3][4] He described the early stages of delusional thought as self-referential over-interpretations of actual sensory perceptions, as opposed to hallucinations.[1][5] Apophenia has also come to describe a human propensity to unreasonably seek patterns in random information

it's pointless to speculate about what HBO "would" do when they already have done it. they apparently trusted Nathan and gave him a big budget and frankly i don't understand any talk about HBO "wasting money" or whatever. NFY ran 4 seasons and is a massive cult hit. this show is probably doing insanely well, even considering whatever budget it has (which is miniscule compared to literally any other show they do) like, The Flight Attendant definitely cost a lot more money than this show, and it is definitely a lot less popular

Snooze Cruise posted:What gets the acclaim isn't the reuniting people aspects lol. Its how Nathan uses that as a framework to explore this lonely guy who manipulates the truth and Nathan then juxtaposes that against himself and the artifice of the show itself. The stuff with Maci is incredible and that ending has so many pieces that come together. Nathan talking to the escort is prime
