unhoused? say what it actually is. homelessness. news sites need to stop promoting the stupid euphemism treadmill, it doesn't help anyone but themselves.

Your thoughts are valid. But that's the thing - they're just thoughts. They won't hurt you and nobody will judge you for having them.
Thoughts and emotions flow in and out of your awareness for a reason. If you want to come to a decision, you have to first understand where your thoughts and emotions are coming from. You should analyze them objectively as they come without indulging them further. Kind of like analyzing why movie characters do the things they do but for yourself.
Why do you feel like you don't deserve a boyfriend? Why do you feel like you're gross? What do you think is causing these feelings?
Right? I can see why they would want to write a season from her perspective, but one of the reasons people really resonated with S1 is because Joel was such a believable, relatable character with a tragic backstory. Someone whose decisions might be irredeemable devoid of context but completely understandable in the moment. Someone with glaring flaws who's trying his damnedest to fix them under insurmountable pressure.
If the writers can pull that off with Abbie I'd be over the moon, but I don't know if they can.
Oh yeah absolutely. Without Joel, the series suffers so much because of how well Pedro Pascal nailed the role imo. It really, really wanted you to care about Ellie's relationship but I just couldn't because her character was so wildly unlikable. I didn't feel that the way the second game/season was written advanced the overarching theme of the series.
For that reason, I'm probably going to end up skipping the upcoming season. You'd be better off exploring similar themes in different media lol
how absurd
Second season of The Last of Us. Never played the second game so I went in blind after really liking the first season. The writing and dialogue were godawful and I just could not give less of a shit about the direction it was headed. I get that the show is more about interpersonal relations in the face of extreme hardship than killing zombies and cool action scenes, but the second season was just so slow in advancing the plot that it left me completely disengaged.
in other words, a hammer "got absolutely wrecked" by a handsaw in a board-halving competition
i have a vague overview. care to share?
yesss, Rodriguez is so good. his lyrics are not only meaningful, but casual and relatable. broached real topics with such grace, it's a real shame he's not more well known. hate street dialogue is my favorite of his
you're completely right dude. and the downvotes of users who were disaffected by this post prove it.
i find that the reason this attitude is so prevalent on lemmy is because, well, lemmy is perceived as the niche place for cool kids whereas reddit is perceived as the forum for normies. a lot of users here get a superiority complex solely from not being reddit. add that to the fact that the majority of users here are highly technical and take pride in their expertise... you get the idea.
this attitude then belies every discussion that happens on this platform. comments that insist that you should "just" do something only exist to communicate the user's belief that their way is better than any other way.
use that body wash, take road trips, and crank that thermostat if it makes you happy. nobody gets to govern you and you're not obligated to listen to them.
hey my dude, you have an interesting post history. what inspires your posts? care to share your story?
right on. this tweet is like saying "there's not a single country in africa that starts with the letter K." there obviously is, but it's targeting people who are knowledgable enough to know the answer but not intelligent enough to understand the point of the tweet.
