I think people have truly lost any ability to be patient with storytelling.
‘I don’t understand this’ They’ll explain it if you wait.
‘I don’t like how this episode left things hanging’ There’s a continuation next week.
‘This character is flat’ Wait for them to be fleshed out.
So many of the complaints I see about shows lately are people being confused by things THAT THE SHOW WANTS YOU TO BE CONFUSED BY THATS THE FUN OF MYSTERY AND FORESHADOWING YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLINS THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALSO CONFUSED AND THEYRE GONNA DO A BIG REVEAL AND EXPLANATION LATER IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING WAIT
Grandmas were so right about puzzles and knitting and crocheting and solitaire and reading slow and slippers and baking and watching deer in the backyard send post
‘I’M JUST A KID AND LIFE IS A NIGHTMARE’ i scream at the age of 23 as i’m forced to make adult phonecalls
raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimised by the whomping willow
yeah sure poor people who are also bad with money exist but it’s still not an excuse to justify not paying your employees a livable wage.
like mr. billionaire with the 8th yacht this week is going to preach to poor people buying a new couch they probably didn’t need but wanted because their kids fucked up the other one.
fuck off.
poor person: i got new clothes for work because i’m expected to look good for work and now i’m kinda worried about if i’ll be able to pay some bills this month. oof.
rich person with an eight-thousand-dollar suit who drives a tesla: you should spend your money less frivolously.
poor person: i took my kid out to a restaurant for their birthday and now i’m having trouble paying for gas.
rich person who underpays said poor person: you know you can save hundreds of dollars just by not buying all your coffee at cafes.
poor person: i genuinely don’t know what planet you live on but i do not buy coffee at a cafe.
rich person: why does no one appreciate my great financial advice?
poor person: finally got a food card because i’ve been struggling to afford food
rich person who knows full well all jobs require you have a phone: just sell your phone. you know … something that will get you money once and then you’ll never be able to replace it… effectively losing yourself money.
poor person: hey, quick question, but do you ever listen to yourself talk? like do you ever really think about what you’re saying? just wondering.
i also just wanna say … poor people will always have more reason to spend their money on things that are socially considered frivolous compared to the wealthy.
rich people don’t need a 7th yacht to make themselves happy but like … a poor person struggling under crushing poverty buying something that makes them happy is always a more justifiable expense.
why are we pretending rich people need 90% of the shit they waste their money on and instead focusing in on poor people in rare instances of buying expensive things for themselves.
