>call them gay
Doesn't really work when it comes from a woman, that insult is for the bros. A woman calling me gay is like a woman saying suck my dick, it's just funny.
it is, theres like 5 different ways you could write this quicker and clearer, rick and morty is a mess of psuedo-intellectual wankery with a thin veneer of pro-pedophilia arguments and ideology.
He didn't, i think he just sat there and then later dismissed her in the car. Personally i couldn't tell you any examples because i tend to notice pretty quickly when something is made by a woman and i just stop watching.
no, its just a very stupid meaning. >yes you're smart because you need therapy because thats like work and work isn't exciting but you need to do it because you just do okay
Like all shrinks, absolutely fricking nothing.
if therapy worked, everyone would do it. The reality is therapy doesn't work. Bad people will continue to be bad people. Stupid prostitutes will continue to be stupid prostitutes, and violent ape men will continue to be violent ape men.
The only thing that forces change is fear, fear that staying the same will cause you pain, or loss, or cause your death. If you aren't afraid of dying or losing anything, no force in the universe can change you.
Fear is the only thing that works, which is why so many men who abuse their spouses have happy marriages, the b***h won't change unless she is scared.
Wrong. Responsibility is another force for personal growth and change but nobody has any these days even if they have kids they don't take responsibility as parents. Your logic shows how childish you truly are.
>Wrong >There's X, but X is not relevant as nobody employs it
You didn't make a point at all.
You agreed with that anon, you dipshit.
Moreover, he spoke of forcing change, and explicitly named some frickups that don't benefit from therapy.
I personally don't waste time thinking about people like that, I'm a loving father, and sometimes I have to be the bad guy with my wife or our home and anything she's responsible for would completely fall apart. Some people need someone there as a material consequence because they can't self motivate from just thinking ahead to future more abstract consequences. I don't expect I'll ever need to beat my wife, but that's because she knows exactly what the limits are. If her actions risked the well-being of my children or my career, she'd get corrected instantly.

Sounds like the weight of responsibility has forced you to make those decisions to change yourself for the better. But I suppose I made no point at all when you yourself have proven it and I was also speaking from personal experience havint been molded by the weight of responsibility as well.
Fear is the most effective motivation to change, true, but it is not the only reason people work on themselves. >which is why so many men who abuse their spouses have happy marriages, the b***h won't change unless she is scared.
Yeah I'm sure the men that do that are soooo happy. The women are fricking miserable meanwhile. Imagine being such a piece of shit you have to threaten a women into staying with you.
They never do though, don't you notice? It's the *emotional* abusers who try to make the woman stay with *threats* of violence(or suicide, or humiliation, or whatever else works), actual wife-beaters who simply give their woman a smack when she gets out of line never have to threaten the women to stay, they stay of their own accord.
Oh sure later on they'll claim they were in fear for their lives and that's why they didn't leave, but bet you dollars to doughnuts he never actually made any explicit threat if she were to leave - quite the opposite they often tell the wife to frick off if she doesn't like it. They can walk away at any time but don't, often it's only the "abuse" being revealed publicly somehow that prompts her to leave as the social stigma of being a "victim" overrides her own preference, and it's only society's need to endlessly coddle women and absolve them of any responsibility for themselves that leads us to pretend there isn't a significant percentage of them out there who not only benefit from occasional "percussive maintenance" but deep down know that themselves and crave it.

In a perfect world no woman would need to be struck to behave herself, but it's not a perfect world and women are far from the perfect sex.
I've seen far, far more women stay with men who smack them around than leave them. in fact I've seen them cry about how they will always love their abusers despite what they did to them physically.
The ugly truth is the female sex is the submissive one, they need to be dominated. If they will admit it or not.

What you don't realize is that the abuse is the motivation to make them change, when they do, the reason for the abuse disappears, so the men stop hitting them.

Therapy is just mental chiropractic. The purpose of therapy is to convince people they need more therapy. It literally does nothing except for people who have no sense of self and need another party to draw obvious conclusions for them

Other way around. Cults used methods of psychotherapy to bind members to their specific brand of off-brand psychotherapy. The fact Scientology violently rejects therapy is because they're offering a competing, less effective and more profit oriented version of it with their auditing.

It's insane how obvious it is, and yet how simultaneously popular it is. Women need protection from themselves or they engage in all matter of self destructive nonsense.
shrinks have taken the role that the confession booth used to hold, and in some cases they're better qualified to do the role.
Fear is the biggest motivator yes. But its hardly the only one, greed/ambition and love are easily almost as important motivators, im sorry the women around you are all perpetual victims needing to be rescued from violent chads, but thats not every womans experience.
Confession was free tho. Therapy is nice because at the very least you get to vent about your shit, knowing the other person is going to listen no matter what. But frick me, not for 100€ / hour
>if therapy worked, everyone would do it
everyone would do it once on occasion. the biggest pushers of therapy in my family have been going once a week for years and still seem harried and stressed
The thing about therapy is that real change comes from a person stopping and reflecting about themselves. People who keep telling others to go to therapy describe it as something that "happens" to you, as an external force that alters your thought process, and thus therapy becomes in the end just another tool for them to remove their own sense of responsibility from their lives. That's why many people who do therapy actually become WORSE, more manipulative, more abrasive, because under the veneer of self-improvement, the entire process gave them the means to be LESS introspective because they outsorced the task of introspecting to their shrink.
People who will take the time to sort themselves out will do so regardless of therapy. At best a third party might help them identify some blind spots in their thinking, but that's definitely not something you need week to week appointments to do.
>if you choose not to submit yourself to therapy, you're a self-destructive individual on a suicide course and I think less of you for it, which I will express in a passive-aggressive manner
People in this country think there's nothing weird about seeing adverts for pharmaceutical drugs on tv. They even have these focus-tested little jingles. Shit's the gayest dystopia imaginable.
this entire paragraph is completely void of meaning
This is a good message though. Life isn’t all thrill, you need to be prepared to take care of some shit. It’s not exciting to make your bed or brush your teeth or shower, but that’s the type of stuff a lot of your life is made of. If you’re not prepared to do something simple and boring that needs to get done, then you’re kind of screwed in the head
You do all sorts of boring shit like driving and waiting in line and paying your bills and whatever, even if you’re just so good at it that you don’t have a problem doing it or entertain yourself while doing it. That just means you don’t need this advice.
You think traditional men only did thrilling things? Like a farmer is just thrilled all day to be doing farm work? Like you wouldn’t have to ride a horse or a cart for like 6 hours to get somewhere? This is just a ridiculous claim, that men have only had to do boring things lately in history

I seriously can't comprehend how you're trying to justify that you take a sip of water and think "arghhhh I'm so fricking bored!!" But you take a sip of something else and "holy shit thrilling!" Like really, taking 2 seconds to take a drink of something really changes whether you're bored or not?

I guess that depends on what you think "matters". For me, my income matters a whole lot. If you're gonna argue that I don't really need it and that I could just go live a life of subsistence alone in the woods where I would never technically be bored, and everything outside of that goal to survive is superfluous and "doesn't matter", then spare me

I disagree. A medieval peasant trying to provide for his family by working the fields can experience boredom, despite the importance of the upcoming harvest. Now if you're saying that, it would be out of place for someone to experience boredom in an immediate life-or-death situation, then I would agree, but that doesn't seem to be your argument.

The amount of drudgery in life is not fixed. You can and should fight it. I will build a machine to hoist me out of bed in the morning and put my clothes on and it will save me 0.07 seconds over the course of my life goddammit
Sure but you face some things you just have to drudge through as they happen. Shit comes at you, and how can you fast track self improvement without at least an annoyingly high effort?
>That's part of living is in the mundane. We all need to do maintenance, whether it be brushing our teeth, changing the oil in our car or even dilating our neovegana. Some peoples maintenance is mental and thus therapy but you're too big brained to understand that, Rick Sanchez.
This is some teenage - or since zoom zooms have electronic'd themselves into arrested development - college age level epiphany that isn't nearly as profound as this fat nip thinks she's being.
Then why is everyone in the thread denying it lol. It seems obvious but also the type of thing adults who don’t get the message might need to be told, from a counseler
There is some evidence specific therapy modalities work for specific mental illnesses, eg CBT helping with anxiety
However, there is no evidence that any form of therapy helps with general mental health
If you want to hate therapists even more than you already do, read this thread where they whine that "evidence" is just a tool of the white man and big pharma to stop people going to therapy
Talk therapy does absolutely nothing if you have serious problems. If you have ADHD or autism, you're 100% fricked. Can't fight what's basically your default settings.
You’d have to genuinely be moronic to not get what her point was. See: the responses to this post, a reflection of this board.
It’s a convoluted way to get to the point, sure, and it shouldn’t stump someone like Rick, and it’s pretty cringe, but it’s not complicated.
No really, the message is pretty simple when you boil it down. Life sometimes requires some maintenance work that is too boring for gigabrain Rick to bother with, and it's making him miserable
in seasons one and two, he was miserable because he was living with a parallel version of the family he failed to protect.

Seems like it was a pointer to accept all the other less exciting parts of sticking with a family. I agree it can sound like she’s just self-advocating for therapy but when the rest of your family does book a therapy session involving you, not showing up is just neglectful. Then you can explain your grievances there. But even without the family therapy the idea is Rick is avoiding taking to his family

Holy frick what awful writing.
You’re meant to be able to say it in as few words as possible. You fricking moron.
“But it’s not possible” then you didn’t setup correctly in the proceeding acts you fricking moron.
I'm genuinely disappointed at how many people are walking around thinking that liking the Barbie movie makes them sophisticated and that its an example of a good film.
if the antagonist is left speechless, then most likely because they break the 4th wall and understood, that these scenes have nothing to do with them, but is a set up for the other characters to show off who they are and what they are doing.
the antagonist then withdraws, because they have been used as a trigger to stir up the dynamic while put in a bad role and they do not sympathize with that.
To leave the scene might be a distinctly female reaction, but not a useless law in the universe.
>Joss Whedon made a career of shutting up antagonists
Unironically this is the one thing Whedon never did use Lequip for. Even he saw how ridiculous that was.
I've noticed something akin to this in Cinemaphile arguments over the years. The people willing to post in a thread for hours to get the last word appear neurotic, aggressive and extremely eager to prove to themselves they can outsmart someone (which having the last word means to them). Literally anyone will do, they are not looking for an even intellectual challenge at all, they are just desperate for a little social win. It's not limited to women either, unsatisfied low T men behave like this as well, and I've been like that myself.
I don't understand this obsession with getting the last word that some people have. I think a much stronger move, from a "winning the discussion" perspective (which is moronic but anyway) is to ignore and move on, deprive them of (you)s, basically.
The compulsion to respond is weakness, I don't why people don't understand this
>open a thread with over 300 replies >see a pointless argument break out early in the thread >hide this post + all replies >more than half the thead is now hidden
That with people like the therapist, it’s not enough to just tell them why they’re wrong, you have to own them so hard they kill themselves.
I get the concept of needing someone to see you way, especially if it’s for the best, but at a certain point you realize you don’t actually need to destroy everyone you disagree with
It seems so ridiculous as well when you just stop posting on Cinemaphile for a while and go to other communities that all have their own moronation. It's impossible not to realize that fighting this isn't what you should do with your time. Especially since the smart take (yours) is realistically only like 2% less moronic than the dumb take.
Yeah if I actually felt the need to come out on top over every dumb thing I was told, I’d waste way too much time. To me its better to just blow off people who say shit that doesn’t matter because they don’t control you anyways

Another thing I just remembered about what's ridiculous about internet arguments is that in many places, you have no idea if you're not actually arguing with a child. There are people here who are 20 and others who are 30. The 30 year btfo's the 20 year old and thinks he's smart for doing so while he's actually just picking low hanging fruit. The only way you can be satisfied about outsmarting a kid as an adult nearing middle age is if you allow yourself to disregard how stupid you were as a 20 year old yourself.
You would be surprised if I told you about a very popular spinoff site that's mainly inhabited by zoomers whose meme culture has been far more prolific than Cinemaphile's in the last 3 years.
I can guarantee all of these women are most of the following
>college educated >employed (and earning decent money) >socially active (with a decent number of friends) >sexually active (and in a relationship) >housed
What do thye have to be upset about? Other people aren't as maximally respectful or nice to them at all times? As if anyone is owed that. I do not understand women at all. I can not understand being this upset and I'm a complete failure at life. I know men who are losermaxxed out the ass and they don't do anything like this. Someone explain.
It’s not freedom and equality unless you can attack other people and be sexist with impunity. I mean come on women’s liberation happens and all of a sudden you’re not allowed to just hurt people anymore? They didn’t do it just to be civil people in an equal society like some diet american, it’s not worth having if you can’t hurt people like the men get to!
Women are not wired to be equal to men. Women said "we want to be equal" and men said "ok" and they started holding women to the same standards as men. Chivalry is dead but women can't admit that they want it in the first place. They wanted "ladies first" doctrine but to also have the same economic and social advantages as men. It doesn't work like that. There is no free lunch and every action in life has a trade off. So women are unhappy that men don't treat them special anymore, but the cognitive dissonance kicks in when they realize that what they actually expect from men is entirely old fashioned and doesn't vibe well with modern feminism. Instead they just lash out against "society" and can't communicate the real source of their discontent. Women are fricking awful at communicating their true wants and filter their desires through layers of passive aggressive bullshit. Meanwhile men don't get this at all because male brains are not wired to pick up on subtle social cues so all of this just looks like insane reeeeing to them.
Honestly this does kind of make sense. Young guys are in a fix because they are dealing with women who want to be treated like equals (like men?) but when it comes to romance you still have to make them feel like a woman. In an office environment that is kind of tough, especially with current HR norms. I think in college it's a bit easier even with Title 9 bs.

Before the 1960s if a man got a woman pregnant, it was expected that he should man up and marry her. Now it's "get an abortion, b***h". Women absolutely cannot stand the downstream effects of the sexual revolution, which they pushed for in the first place. The sexual revolution allowed men to pump and dump them. Women didn't realize how much they would hate removing romance and consequences from sex. Now relations between men and women are very "gay". Grinder came first. Tinder is the immitator. The concept of no strings attached sex is indeed very "gay".

I am more referring to the past. The post 60s generation. The zenith of the sexual revolution is no one having sex. We are past the point of romance. It died a long time ago.
IRL most incels are actually just failed normies. It's insane but a 5/10 dude with his own money and apartment, or even house, has less SMV than that fat woman.
Let's be reasonable and logical, and face up to facts, women aren't human; they're not even like monkey's or orangutans. Those muddle-headed, pea-brained, waste-your-money liberals might want to brainwash you into thinking that girls are good for something other than sucking wiener, but you and I and every other sensible man knows better. These bawds were put on Earth to steal your money; be whining, complaining and arrogant; and to serve as reasonably comfortable holsters for your erections when one is aroused by the call of nature.
First off, scientific research has it that women just aren't the same as men. They don't like things like cameras or computers or state-of-the-art stereos, simply because the higher centers of their brains aren't developed as well as a man's. Furthermore, according to a very fine article in The National Enquirer, it's been proven that women aren't as smart as men. It takes real guts to admit it, but women are mindless creatures... Don't let those detestable, ugly, disgusting, sour-pussed lesbian diesel-dyke Women's Libbers fool you, along with their cotillions of homosexual yes men. Women are most happy when they are serving their twin gods of Mammon and king wiener.
Men work hard, make money, grind the wheels of business, only to fall victim to early deaths dealt out by the insane caprices of vengeful bawds... they should be rounded up in a pen filled with pigs and forced to eat filthy offal, and maybe then they would appreciate a fine figure of a man who wants to own and take care of them, even if he is perhaps just a wee bit nervous and high-strung and suspicious of some people's motives.
I feel like this is less a female fantasy and more a child's fantasy. Many PG-rated children's films from the 80s and 90s I grew up on had the same element - the kids getting the better of the antagonists - mean school principles, evil real estate developers, their dad's rich aloof butthole boss, etc and all of them ended with the antagonist getting "owned" in some lame way like being called a butthead and then left stammering for a comeback as they're hauled off in cuffs
>itt midwits are convinced they’re the secret genius and everyone else that thinks they’re the secret genius and everyone else is midwits
Which ironically also makes me a midwit, but so are all of you.
I once told some bros that the woman that sucks their dicks and the woman who kisses their children shouldn't be the same woman. They were also left speechless.
Women in TV/film >always right, leaves the whole room speechless with her impeccable oratory
Women in real life >overly-emotional nonsense, always needs to get the last word in, if you're wrong just cry and scream until you get your way
Suicide
>womenbros... what's our response?
Call then gay and imply they don't get women
>call them gay
Doesn't really work when it comes from a woman, that insult is for the bros. A woman calling me gay is like a woman saying suck my dick, it's just funny.
name 5 examples of this
This is fricking garbage writing.
it is, theres like 5 different ways you could write this quicker and clearer, rick and morty is a mess of psuedo-intellectual wankery with a thin veneer of pro-pedophilia arguments and ideology.
(1) that's one
(2) Rick had a response
He didn't, i think he just sat there and then later dismissed her in the car. Personally i couldn't tell you any examples because i tend to notice pretty quickly when something is made by a woman and i just stop watching.
his response was basically the same as silent defeat
this entire paragraph is completely void of meaning
no, its just a very stupid meaning.
>yes you're smart because you need therapy because thats like work and work isn't exciting but you need to do it because you just do okay
(You) are void of meaning.
Gonna cry? You should tell your shrink that these message boards are distressing you.
No, I'm not gonna cry.
This speech is all over the place and reeks of tryhard. What the frick is she even trying to say?
Like all shrinks, absolutely fricking nothing.
if therapy worked, everyone would do it. The reality is therapy doesn't work. Bad people will continue to be bad people. Stupid prostitutes will continue to be stupid prostitutes, and violent ape men will continue to be violent ape men.
The only thing that forces change is fear, fear that staying the same will cause you pain, or loss, or cause your death. If you aren't afraid of dying or losing anything, no force in the universe can change you.
Fear is the only thing that works, which is why so many men who abuse their spouses have happy marriages, the b***h won't change unless she is scared.
Wrong. Responsibility is another force for personal growth and change but nobody has any these days even if they have kids they don't take responsibility as parents. Your logic shows how childish you truly are.
>Wrong
>There's X, but X is not relevant as nobody employs it
You didn't make a point at all.
You agreed with that anon, you dipshit.
Moreover, he spoke of forcing change, and explicitly named some frickups that don't benefit from therapy.
I personally don't waste time thinking about people like that, I'm a loving father, and sometimes I have to be the bad guy with my wife or our home and anything she's responsible for would completely fall apart. Some people need someone there as a material consequence because they can't self motivate from just thinking ahead to future more abstract consequences. I don't expect I'll ever need to beat my wife, but that's because she knows exactly what the limits are. If her actions risked the well-being of my children or my career, she'd get corrected instantly.
So what’s the problem if people who need accountability and counseling just go get it, instead of living without it and causing problems?
Sounds like the weight of responsibility has forced you to make those decisions to change yourself for the better. But I suppose I made no point at all when you yourself have proven it and I was also speaking from personal experience havint been molded by the weight of responsibility as well.
Fear is the most effective motivation to change, true, but it is not the only reason people work on themselves.
>which is why so many men who abuse their spouses have happy marriages, the b***h won't change unless she is scared.
Yeah I'm sure the men that do that are soooo happy. The women are fricking miserable meanwhile. Imagine being such a piece of shit you have to threaten a women into staying with you.
They never do though, don't you notice? It's the *emotional* abusers who try to make the woman stay with *threats* of violence(or suicide, or humiliation, or whatever else works), actual wife-beaters who simply give their woman a smack when she gets out of line never have to threaten the women to stay, they stay of their own accord.
Oh sure later on they'll claim they were in fear for their lives and that's why they didn't leave, but bet you dollars to doughnuts he never actually made any explicit threat if she were to leave - quite the opposite they often tell the wife to frick off if she doesn't like it. They can walk away at any time but don't, often it's only the "abuse" being revealed publicly somehow that prompts her to leave as the social stigma of being a "victim" overrides her own preference, and it's only society's need to endlessly coddle women and absolve them of any responsibility for themselves that leads us to pretend there isn't a significant percentage of them out there who not only benefit from occasional "percussive maintenance" but deep down know that themselves and crave it.
>They never do though, don't you notice?
how would I notice that? do I have hidden cameras set up in other people's homes or something?
he's right and you are hamster wheeling.
In a perfect world no woman would need to be struck to behave herself, but it's not a perfect world and women are far from the perfect sex.
I've seen far, far more women stay with men who smack them around than leave them. in fact I've seen them cry about how they will always love their abusers despite what they did to them physically.
The ugly truth is the female sex is the submissive one, they need to be dominated. If they will admit it or not.

how are you "seeing" this? it seems like you're just wildly speculating based on movies you've seen.
you jus made this post based on a movie

Anon hou are a psycho dude
What you don't realize is that the abuse is the motivation to make them change, when they do, the reason for the abuse disappears, so the men stop hitting them.
It's really a case of c**ts being too dumb for their own good. When a man takes control and puts the fear into her is when she becomes a better wife and mother. Allowing dumb b***hes to languish in their inadequacies with "Therapy" does nothing.
I like it when my girls are receptive enough not to need to be hit or scared in order to acknowledge a problem needing correcting. Usually a firm irritation or rejection at the idea will do it, for me
>Allowing dumb b***hes to languish in their inadequacies with "Therapy" does nothing.
Exactly. My mother has PTSD and she's been going to therapy for 20 years. She's still the exact same c**t.
Therapy is just mental chiropractic. The purpose of therapy is to convince people they need more therapy. It literally does nothing except for people who have no sense of self and need another party to draw obvious conclusions for them
>it literally does nothing except give people who have trouble with themselves or life, advice on how to handle things they don’t know how to handle
That’s a great service though. Way better than the arrogance of saying you’d never use professional advice
needing someone else to make all your decisions for you isn't just "having trouble with life," its having no life of your own at all.
It’s not every decision, but yeah if you find yourself lifeless and paralyzed by total lack of decision making, a therapist can help. What’s the problem?
That you're working pretty hard to describe it as a good thing to be mentally crippled and to pay people to do everything for you.
It’s not a good thing but if you have these problems then it’s good when there’s help. Sheesh
Obsessing over it, investing tons of money into it, isn't helping, it's creating a permanent fixation. The boomers were right when they said the best way to resolve issues is to distract, get engaged in positive endeavors.
Oh sure. Don’t become addicted to therapy, I agree
I’m not lying
and now you're performing such extreme mental gymnastics, you've befuddled yourself
Lmfao. Why, because I told a small story about something that actually happened to me? I didn’t make this up. Maybe I got a rare good therapist who wasn’t trying to con me
You should check the reply chain.
Oh, whoops, you’re right I replied to the wrong post, I meant to tell this guy
I wasn’t lying
Either way what I’m saying still makes sense, some people are fricked up enough to need therapy, and I have at least one experience of not being strung along with therapy because I didn’t need it
>>it literally does nothing except give people who have trouble with themselves or life, advice on how to handle things they don’t know how to handle
>it literally does nothing except it's puporse
Yeah that’s what I was saying, I was making fun of that guy for acting like it was a bad thing
Oh sorry I just skim threads for posts that sound stupid and make snarky responses I didn't even read your full post my bad
>Therapy is just mental chiropractic
Yes. Modern head shrinks are trained in the same brainwashing techniques as were used by cults in the 80's. They create a dependency for the patient towards the therapist so they keep coming back and give them money while often encouraging self destructive behaviors in the name of self love but in reality it is just self indulgence.
That’s crazy because when I went to a therapist after 3 sessions they said I didn’t need to come back unless there was something else I needed help with
If you aren't lying you would be the first case I've ever heard of that happening, the catch with therapy is that no one ever gets "cured"
Other way around. Cults used methods of psychotherapy to bind members to their specific brand of off-brand psychotherapy. The fact Scientology violently rejects therapy is because they're offering a competing, less effective and more profit oriented version of it with their auditing.
>The fact Scientology violently rejects therapy
They do?
It's insane how obvious it is, and yet how simultaneously popular it is. Women need protection from themselves or they engage in all matter of self destructive nonsense.
shrinks have taken the role that the confession booth used to hold, and in some cases they're better qualified to do the role.
Fear is the biggest motivator yes. But its hardly the only one, greed/ambition and love are easily almost as important motivators, im sorry the women around you are all perpetual victims needing to be rescued from violent chads, but thats not every womans experience.
Confession was free tho. Therapy is nice because at the very least you get to vent about your shit, knowing the other person is going to listen no matter what. But frick me, not for 100€ / hour
Being a piece of shit can also be hereditary as it turns out. Not every behavior's learned. Sometimes people are just born like that.
>if therapy worked, everyone would do it
everyone would do it once on occasion. the biggest pushers of therapy in my family have been going once a week for years and still seem harried and stressed
The thing about therapy is that real change comes from a person stopping and reflecting about themselves. People who keep telling others to go to therapy describe it as something that "happens" to you, as an external force that alters your thought process, and thus therapy becomes in the end just another tool for them to remove their own sense of responsibility from their lives. That's why many people who do therapy actually become WORSE, more manipulative, more abrasive, because under the veneer of self-improvement, the entire process gave them the means to be LESS introspective because they outsorced the task of introspecting to their shrink.
People who will take the time to sort themselves out will do so regardless of therapy. At best a third party might help them identify some blind spots in their thinking, but that's definitely not something you need week to week appointments to do.
That Rick is too smart and gets bored easily so he doesn't brush his teeth.
She's trying to say "I'm the writer's self-insert"
She later went on write such hits as She-Hulk
>fatty's self-insert is skinny
you hate to see it
Guy on the right with the condescending Constanza look.
>if you choose not to submit yourself to therapy, you're a self-destructive individual on a suicide course and I think less of you for it, which I will express in a passive-aggressive manner
It's not about the therapy, it's about talking to your family
Likening going to therapy to brushing your teeth is one of the most American-brained things I have ever heard.
People in this country think there's nothing weird about seeing adverts for pharmaceutical drugs on tv. They even have these focus-tested little jingles. Shit's the gayest dystopia imaginable.

>2 seasons of show don't tell and subtle subtext.
>Women undo it all in 1 episode fundamentally destroying the show's tone and intrigue.
Hmmm
Why would a therapist mention wiping their own ass to a client?
Woman "humor"
It's just gross.
Lmaoing at all the angry filtered brainlets who can’t comprehend this
~~*Rat blood*~~
This is a good message though. Life isn’t all thrill, you need to be prepared to take care of some shit. It’s not exciting to make your bed or brush your teeth or shower, but that’s the type of stuff a lot of your life is made of. If you’re not prepared to do something simple and boring that needs to get done, then you’re kind of screwed in the head
anon. that's life for women. not men.
You do all sorts of boring shit like driving and waiting in line and paying your bills and whatever, even if you’re just so good at it that you don’t have a problem doing it or entertain yourself while doing it. That just means you don’t need this advice.
Anon. You're describing the feminization of men.
You think traditional men only did thrilling things? Like a farmer is just thrilled all day to be doing farm work? Like you wouldn’t have to ride a horse or a cart for like 6 hours to get somewhere? This is just a ridiculous claim, that men have only had to do boring things lately in history
Why mention something you have no experience with?
You brought it up lol. You were the one who retreated into some historical life you never lived just to say some crazy shit like all men in history were never bored
>uh y-you brought up f-farming
... No, you did. You brought up some of the most grueling and satisfying work, labor, ever invented, as if it was boring, unrewarding.
When you said the ‘feminization of men’ I took that to mean there was modern feminizing changing men to be more bored and do more boring things. I didn’t say boring work wasn’t rewarding, but it’s still boring
You are talking like someone who has never done anything with their hands. Never built something real. Read: someone completely feminized.
Lmfao cope. Me saying people have boring but productive parts of their day, means I’ve never worked? Such a stretch dude. Have you ever been single and had to do laundry or something
Anon. I'm not the one trying to convince myself that my current life is better than any alternatives, much less older styles of living.
I never said that. I said people in the past also had boring parts of their day.
And I'm telling you that you don't know what you're talking about.
I think you’re thinking of something else. I’ll leave you to it man
>dude people did boring stuff all the time man, like ya know, farming man? that sooooooo boring
>You've never farmed.
>w-what y-you brought up farming
>No, you did
>w-well okay but like I know about farming and its boring
>You don't know what you're talking about
>y-y-you must be thinking about s-s-something else
This was one of the most pathetic exchanges i've had on this website.
Yeah obviously you’re having a different conversation in your head
feel free to examine the reply chain.
Survival IS boring NOW. Because it is so menial, effortless. The concept of a menial task is something that only exists when so little is required to survive.
Is comfort and sustainable survival the cause of feminization? Seems like it would be. You have to go pretty far back to find a guy who doesn’t have some part of his survival in a day involve some boring task. Pre-civilization stuff
The only task that is boring is one that ultimately doesn't matter. Like making your bed. Or therapy.
Fair enough. What about brushing your teeth and such though, or fasting/changing your diet to handle a health risk? The things that do have real long term survival benefits but are not necessarily immediately pressing
Agreement in principle is sufficient for me. Quibbling over the finer details ultimately doesn't matter.
Well I think it’s important because the question is if all boring tasks should be avoided, or if there are boring tasks that are necessary
I don't know how you get bored doing something like taking a minute to brush your teeth. Do you have adhd or something? I don't understand how simple necessary tasks that take no time at all make you feel the sensation of boredom.
smart phone culture means every waking moment you're alone with your thoughts is "boredom"
No not really, but it’s an example of an unexciting routine thing a character like Rick who does have some sort of thrill-seeking mania would need to care more about. This is all a metaphor for him not wanting to talk to his family about their problems, of course
I didn't even read the entire rick and morty therapy quote because that episode was terrible and she was moronic so I don't really care about your assessment on a cartoon character or people trying to sound smart. All I care about is you seem to think boredom = taking a minute to do something. I took a piss and to say it's boring because it was 30 seconds I was stuck doing nothing would be moronic, I can't mentally get bored in a minute.
If fireworks shot out the back of my toilet and heavy death metal started playing or some shit to make my piss "exciting" then okay I guess? You seem to think things either have to be thrilling or boring and there is no in between.
I didn’t say there wasn’t a spectrum, I was talking about the instance where someone is too thrill seeking to want to do regular productive things, which is what the episode is about. I know you don’t care about the episode but there are people like that, and they could use reminding that the simple shit it’s important. Some people quit drinking water because they like alcohol or soda too much, and shit
I literally have never in my life met someone that is too "thrill seeking" to do regular productive things. If you aren't brushing you're teeth it's because you're depressed, not bored.
Have ever met an alcoholic or a hard drug user? Or again any of these people who don’t drink water because it’s too ‘boring’ for them. It’s nice if you haven’t met them but they do exist.
No, I never have and it's insane to me that you've even had someone describe their alcoholism as "boredom from drinking water" and the fact that you actually believe them.
You got me backwards. It’s not that they use not liking water to justify alcoholism, what happens is they’re alcoholics so they quit drinking water because if they’re drinking anything it should be liquor and they lose their taste for, or habit of, drinking water. A person like this needs to be reminded to drink water, as well as probably quit being an alcoholic. People do this with soda and food too
Nothing of what you're describing is boredom at all.
The point is the mundane and simple tasks that are necessary, which is the point of the episode and the thread. But yes these people do literally get bored with water. They say they don’t like how it doesn’t taste like anything, or doesn’t get them drunk
And I'm saying that point is moronic which is why it's a shit episode. Mundane and simple tasks that are necessary aren't boring to normal people. Maybe to mentally ill phone raised zoom zooms? I'm not sure. I doubt they get bored with water, they just enjoy alcohol / soda more (which has water).
I seriously can't comprehend how you're trying to justify that you take a sip of water and think "arghhhh I'm so fricking bored!!" But you take a sip of something else and "holy shit thrilling!" Like really, taking 2 seconds to take a drink of something really changes whether you're bored or not? These are not functional people you interact with and they are lying to you or you're stupid to believe them that it has anything to do with boredom instead of depression.
I’m not saying it’s normal or justifiable to be bored with water, I’m saying some people are crazy enough to need to be brought back down to earth. There are many examples
They are depressed, not bored. You aren't "bringing them back down to earth" by doing something moronic like feeding into their lies and just being like "hey remember to drink water too!".
this debate branch you're on is critically flawed. the reason its stupid to tell a super-genius that he needs to do rote tasks, is because the super-genius can sit down and invent an AI to do them for him.
But the task is for him to make an honest connection with his family. Rick spent the entire previous seasons using science to avoid or solve his family problems. That's the joke, he'll do anything but actually talk to these frickin people
That's not really a joke. That's woman writing.
Oh sure. Then they have him blow up the wall and scream frick it or something, I believe
A normal person doesn't get bored brushing their teeth or wiping their ass. A super genius like rick would invent a way so he doesn't even have to brush his teeth or wipe his ass. I don't care about the cartoon, I'm just arguing against this guys moronic idea of what "bored" means.
Who's talking about normal people?
I mean even if you don't consider yourself or these people normal, there is literally zero chance they are getting bored brushing their teeth or wiping their ass. They are just lying to you and you're moronic enough to believe it.
Anon this is a thread about a cartoon character.
Anon this person was talking about irl and we're talking about how the cartoon quote is moronic and the quote specifically says brushing your teeth is boring.
yes, to rick sanchez, brushing his teeth is boring, because he's invented self-brushing teeth.
So you mean one way to clean it is boring vs another isn't boring.
Talking to people isn't necessary.
>Talking to people isn't necessary.
Rick was split on wanting to connect with the family, and not, in this season. Call it a stupid arc but he was making an attempt, which motivated the idea that talking to them is necessary
Yeah so he had a choice to make on whether he wanted to make it into a habit that he would enjoy or not. Has nothing to do with necessity or boredom.
It was just some frickin example I made up, however you fricking KNOW multiple people in this thread RIGHT NOW probably haven't brushed their teeth in a while because it'd be a distraction from whatever they're doing on the computer or what have you. The basic cleaning of houses and shit. Some people here are literally on bad terms with their families because they care more about video games or the internet than they do talking to them
Anon thats just called depression, not boredom. If you can't take a minute to go brush your teeth because it's "boring" you're just lying to yourself. Are you this fat girl boss Asian that made the self insert with the shitty quote? Sweety, you aren't bored, you're lazy.
Yeah it could be depression. Rick is an on-and-off depressed character. The entire idea is that people get stuck in a way and they distract themselves from doing important things in their lives, but if they want those important things to be in their lives they have to make sure to spend time on them. Like talking to a family you want to connect to. You're such a frickin moron pulling all this stuff out when the point is clear.
Obviously the point isn't clear enough if it took you this long to finally admit it has literally nothing to do with boredom so the quote is actually awful.
If you're a thrill seeker, things that aren't thrilling are boring to you. It's not that complicated
You heard what you wanted and took the example way too seriously.
I legit don't even know what you're even trying to say at this point. First you say there is a spectrum, then you say there isn't a spectrum, and now you're trying to say that there is one and taking quotes literally isn't allowed? People take quotes at face value because of moronic like you that genuinely think it's boring not to brush your teeth with meth every day.
I never said there wasn't a spectrum. I was throwing out examples to help people understand this basic frickin principle of psychology, and you roll in acting stupid like you don't understand how somebody could distract themselves from something important in their lives
You literally just did.
Of course you can distract yourself from important things in their lives. Are you just making up arguments for me now that I never made just to try and justify your moronic liberal use of the word boring when describing things like brushing your teeth?
No I don’t. Show me where you think I did
Didn’t*
So if only thrilling and boring exist, how is there a spectrum? Per you, something is either thrilling or boring.
There are other things than thrilling and boring, I never said there wasn’t. I used boredom as one example and you went apeshit with it
Jesus you're moronic.
Why would a drug user or a thrill seeker want to do something productively normal and boring like taking a bus ride sober, or having a job so they don't become homeless like they do? They are addicted to the drug and the thrill. Being a workaholic constantly distracted thrill seeking scientist can be the same way. Its kind of your basic 'I know you're an astronaut honey and you have so many rich and famous friends but please remember to come home and have dinner with me and your children sometimes' thing.
Now you've moved the goalposts and at this point you can just not even care about what bored means because one person can sit on a bus in total silence with just their thoughts and not get bored while another person needs a book or music or drugs or whatever to not get bored and you can just subjectively decide if one or another is boring or not.
You're stuck too much on the word boring, but it still applies. I'm just talking about anything that's important to do but is disinteresting enough that you don't do it, like any chore or annoying conversation.
Yeah I literally came into this thread specifically to point out how that anons idea of boring was moronic and instead of admitting it is moronic in the quote he just keeps trying to make it sound like it's actually good in some way.
Yeah no shit you frickin came in and stuck on a word, with no regard for the conversation. That much is clear.
Yup and I'm glad you finally came to terms with the fact that your use of the concept of boredom and the quote involving it was moronic. Calm down though, it's okay to admit your wrong even though your hero Rick would never do that.
> A super genius like rick would invent a way so he doesn't even have to brush his teeth or wipe his ass.
Well that's the point isn't it, that Rick is avoiding basic life and especially honest interactions with his family because he actually is smart enough to avoid them. So if he wants to have those family experiences, he's going to have to participate in them by choice. Makes sense to me
But he's not avoiding basic life. Him inventing a way to brush his teeth or wipe his ass without having to put any thought or effort into it = his teeth and ass still get cleaned where as if a depressed person stops wiping their ass and brushing their teeth by pretending it's boring then they will stink of shit.
The basic life he's avoiding is honest contact with his family. This is the character who clones himself so he doesn't have to go to dinner, it's been his schtick
We're talking about a super-genius who can sit down and construct a robot sufficiently intelligent to be be self-aware and dissatisfied with the purpose he was created in a few minutes. Which is why every line from the writer self-insert falls completely flat.
But Rick had decided he did want to connect with the family at this point, this is all conditional on Rick’s open desire to recover a sense of family. You’re right though if he didn’t want that he could probably science away everything
>but the new direction of the writing!
No one fricking cares.
The point you're avoiding is telling someone who can casually construct robots to perform literally any rote task, that they need to do rote tasks, is utterly fricking moronic, made worse by the fact the stupid c**t writer wanted her self-insert to have the last word.
What if the rote task is talking to the family he wants to get closer to
Then you're describing the basis of a better episode they missed the opportunity to write, because some chink c**t wanted to self-insert and "own" the white male.
No, that’s what they wrote, this was the season where they played with Rick committing to caring more about the family. He was in therapy, and avoiding it, because he had trouble talking to his family directly when he could just concoct a distracting adventure
see, because I'm not a completely unimaginative c**t like yourself, I was thinking about an episode where he invents something to automate "talking to "his family."" You just keep repeating
>i don't understand, the episode played out like x
of course there's at least two "super-therapy" episodes.
They did that in a prior episode. This is after and partially a part of the ‘Rick circumvents family time using clones robots and science’ bit they were doing for a couple seasons. Remember there was a fake robot Rick at the table and Rick was fricking around in the garage during dinner
and note, she doesn't actually say "just talk to them," she says "you need therapy."
In this context therapy is just a way to force this family to talk, because they hadn’t been talking on their own and attempted a more structured scheduled family discussion from a therapist
"doesn't matter" is not the best way to put it. My job is often boring but it matters a whole lot
Nice cope.
What do you suppose I'm coping about, exactly?
you are coping about what matters.
There’s literally productive meaningful work that’s boring. Anon was staying on point
see
Are you the kind of guy who decided something doesn’t matter if he’s bored doing it? If you got bored feeding people, would you just say those people didn’t need to fed?
I guess that depends on what you think "matters". For me, my income matters a whole lot. If you're gonna argue that I don't really need it and that I could just go live a life of subsistence alone in the woods where I would never technically be bored, and everything outside of that goal to survive is superfluous and "doesn't matter", then spare me
just by how
was phrase, you know he has a bullshit job, that "needs to be done."
It sounds like you’re making an emotional argument about having passion for things that are important for you, and not an actual logical argument that there’s life saving shit that can be boring.
Or my position is based in the idea "boring" only exists when survival is trivial.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t necessary boring trivial survival, especially in the modern age, which is the message the therapist in the show is trying to get across
which is only a tenable position when you stretch questions of survival out to years/decades, thus, validating my position.
Nah I could be bored about something to at needs to be done in a week, or even a day. Your position isn’t validated either, long term survival is literally survival.
>I'd be bored if i had to do something to be alive in a day/week
my Black person do you even know what survival means?
Survival can include long term planning and routine behaviors
You coukd've just said no.
How about you actually present your definition of survival if you believe everyone else's is incorrect? How are you going to create bridges in this discussion if, according to your posts so far, you don't even agree with the definition everyone else has?
allow me to look it up in the fricking dictionary for you.
If you're having a philosophical discussion about any topic and you bring up fricking Merriam Webster you have lost the plot completely. Are you telling me that your entire philosophical belief about survival comes from one line?
I'm saying boredom only exists when survival is trivial. I am correct.
Oh sure, that's basically true I just feel like it's off topic
Correct. As rick was uninterested in basic tasks because he could effortlessly build things to do them.
>survival
Again, you haven't even defined your world view of what counts as survival. Even in that definition you posted, it could be argued that what this anon said
can be included.
Why do you think I'm using some sort of complex metaphysical definition?
is a literal basic fact.
I don't know what definition you're using because you haven't defined what you believe survival to be outside of a basic one line definition that would also encompass the points used by your detractors.
Anon,
is pretty much an axiom of human existence.
I disagree. A medieval peasant trying to provide for his family by working the fields can experience boredom, despite the importance of the upcoming harvest. Now if you're saying that, it would be out of place for someone to experience boredom in an immediate life-or-death situation, then I would agree, but that doesn't seem to be your argument.
You're not even wrong, you're just blathering.
Forget debate pervert, you are a debate pedophile.
That's a big assumption based on literally nothing but k
Are you implying that jobs that "matter" can never be boring?
Do you? How would you know any better than him? Are you seriously trying to claim men didn't use to have to do menial tasks?
You're calling survival "menial."
Yeah a lot of survival is boring, alongside the thrilling challenging stuff. Starting a fire can be boring and frustrating and irritating
This homie wants to be an anprim lmao literally nothing is stopping you from walking out in the wood and living your dream.
>boredom only exists when survival is trivial
>LMAO U GO BE MONKEE
I like how you can't state fact without someone think you want the opposite.
But the whole point of the thread and conversation is if you need to be prepared to do boring trivial things to survive in a modern world
Do you seriously think people in hunter-gatherer societies were never bored?
here's your bored hunter-gatherers bro
That doesn't answer my question. You DO think they weren't bored?
I have answered your question, but you didn't understand, so I'll elaborate.
When hunter-gatherers got "bored," that meant food was plentiful, and when food was plentiful, they started trying to stabilize their food supply, which resulted in civilization.
Do you seriously think there was never any point in their days when they felt bored? Do you think they never had to do dull repetive chores that they hated? I'm sorry but claiming people never used to get bored is as moronic as claiming people never used to get sad.
All your doing is projecting your understanding of life onto prehistoric people.
You don’t know either, man. But he’s probably right
Right, there's no evidence of what happened when "hunter-gatherers" had "nothing to do."
oh wait.
Well, unlike you, I'm looking at the evidence of the results of "hunter-gatherer" "boredom." Whereas you're just going "aw man not knowing if you'd eat tomorrow would be so boring!"
>the average hunter-gatherer society developed agriculture and cities when they got bored
You're the biggest midwit I've ever talked to and you're acting like it's EVERYONE ELSE who's ignorant of history. Blow it out your ass moron.
I accept your concession.
Nothing is stopping you from living your dreams of every day being a struggle to survive, just letting you know you can go out and live that reality right now.
see
What's your point? You want survival to not be trivial right? That is a possibility. So why not go do it?
My point is I'm amusing myself by watching you get angry and belligerent in response to statements of fact.
>people for whom survival was not trivial never got bored
"statements of fact" lmao.
Yep. Sorry if it angers you.
really really think about this for a moment. A hunter-gatherer has a moment where constantly searching for food is no longer necessary. you seem to think that would result in instant boredom.
You seem to think boredom just means having nothing to do so you sit around doing nothing. In my job I'm doing constant manual labour all day, I'm always doing something with my hands but that doesn't stop me from being bored all day. You think hunter-gatherers didn't have daily tasks or labour that they found boring?
see
for the definition of boredom.
Yeah see this makes a lot of sense. The reason your arguments seem so strange is because you're operating on a definition of "boredom" that you invented. Frick, this shit happens all the time. You debate someone for an hour and then you eventually realise they're literally just using words wrong and that's why they seem to talk right past you.
kinda hard to imagine someone being uninterested in surviving the current/next day.
There are primitive lifestyles that don’t require a constant fight for survival. There are literally more comfortable ecosystems for humans to live where there is time to do things besides survive
man, if only we weren't talking about prehistoric hunter-gatherers.
Yeah there are literally safer places on the globe to be a prehistoric human, many of these places allowed the people to become secure enough in survival to have time to entertain themselves and such, which implies prior boredom that was addressed
and finding those places required getting the absolute frick out of africa and away from the goddamn hippos.
Sure, and then they grew more comfortable successful and bored, and some put the extra idleness towards other projects
>then they grew more comfortable successful and bored
You can look to the industrial revolution and see this is simply not true. When it became possible to directly translate time/work into wealth, people willingly worked hundred hour weeks, because it was the first time in history that it was possible for that to not simply be a waste of time.
Dude, what are you gonna eat for the next week? Before you answer that, consider the following.
>fridges, fast food, and grocery stores do not exist
>you need to walk to go anywhere
>the fruit in your region is out of season
You either need to get with your bros and kill something that's going to run or fight, or you can go hungry and allow your children to become malnourished. Bear in mind that your bros only work with you because of current mutual interest and would kill you as well if it benefitted them in sexual competition.
I’ll eat fish from the river, we only not get fish maybe once every 18 moons, yesterday I caught 3 fish so today when I caught 2 more I didn’t even have to eat any of the new catch. If I catch no fish, I still eat for the day until there is fish tomorrow. Its been like this for many moons!
That shit. Makes sense to me
You know hunter-gatherer societies weren't constantly on the precipice of starvation, right?
Also, consider the fact that even still today people have to work to survive. If I don't got to work I can't eat and I can't pay rent which means I could be out on the street and in a country like mine living on the streets in the winter will kill you. My job is boring as shit but if I don't do it I don't survive.
You pulled that definition out of your ass, I appreciate your point but it’s literally not the meaning of boredom
They could have fairly safe survival in certain areas if they were the dominant species and found the right environment, sure, they could just get fish out of the right river in a fairly safe place and grow bored between surefire meals of easy fish, or something like that
Apes sit around bored and shit tho, lions too. It can especially happen when you’re near the top of the food chain, human or animal. Frickin elephants and hippos
Right, I forgot there's no difference between humans and apes. My bad.
And you're not lmao? Neither of us know what they actually thought or said, or even how they acted. I just think it's more likely that they thought and acted more like us than unlike us. We're still the same species with the same biology after all.
sorry bad example, these did a little better tho bro
They would bang their war brides when they were bored.
Did you ever work with your hands?
I'm a concrete finisher, is that good enough? I'm working with my hands all day and I'm bored all day.
Yes, plenty. Mostly forced, sure, but for the most part I hated it
1- shut the frick up
2- have a nice day
In the order you prefer.
The amount of drudgery in life is not fixed. You can and should fight it. I will build a machine to hoist me out of bed in the morning and put my clothes on and it will save me 0.07 seconds over the course of my life goddammit
Sure but you face some things you just have to drudge through as they happen. Shit comes at you, and how can you fast track self improvement without at least an annoyingly high effort?
>That's part of living is in the mundane. We all need to do maintenance, whether it be brushing our teeth, changing the oil in our car or even dilating our neovegana. Some peoples maintenance is mental and thus therapy but you're too big brained to understand that, Rick Sanchez.
This is some teenage - or since zoom zooms have electronic'd themselves into arrested development - college age level epiphany that isn't nearly as profound as this fat nip thinks she's being.
Then why is everyone in the thread denying it lol. It seems obvious but also the type of thing adults who don’t get the message might need to be told, from a counseler
>get therapy or die
Reminder that there is 0 (zero) statistically significant scientific evidence regarding the efficacy of therapy
There is some evidence specific therapy modalities work for specific mental illnesses, eg CBT helping with anxiety
However, there is no evidence that any form of therapy helps with general mental health
If you want to hate therapists even more than you already do, read this thread where they whine that "evidence" is just a tool of the white man and big pharma to stop people going to therapy

>this thread where they whine that "evidence" is just a tool of the white man and big pharma to stop people going to therapy
It says no such thing you schizoid
Talk therapy does absolutely nothing if you have serious problems. If you have ADHD or autism, you're 100% fricked. Can't fight what's basically your default settings.
Dunno about autism but there's both medication and coping strategies for ADHD that can be taught by competent clinicians.
>Le heckin science, my dude
kys
You’d have to genuinely be moronic to not get what her point was. See: the responses to this post, a reflection of this board.
It’s a convoluted way to get to the point, sure, and it shouldn’t stump someone like Rick, and it’s pretty cringe, but it’s not complicated.
>bury a very stupid and laughably simplistic point in a bloated, convoluted mess
>YOU JUST DON'T GET IT
Go be a woman somewhere else.
No really, the message is pretty simple when you boil it down. Life sometimes requires some maintenance work that is too boring for gigabrain Rick to bother with, and it's making him miserable
in seasons one and two, he was miserable because he was living with a parallel version of the family he failed to protect.
Which led to thrill seeking and abusive/neglectful behavior, then they developed it where he killed his own family or whatever, makes sense to me
>they developed it where he killed his own family
You mean retconed, but okay.
point being, the idea there was anything other than completely legitimate reasons for substance abuse and self-destruction wasn't until some obese female chink became a writer.
She doesn’t say the reasons aren’t valid, she’s just reminding him to take life a little more seriously here and there, since Rick claims to want a good relationship with the family at this point
She doesn't actually say anything, because she doesn't know anything. The long and short of what she said was
>yes therapy is boring but you need to do boring things because you just do
Seems like it was a pointer to accept all the other less exciting parts of sticking with a family. I agree it can sound like she’s just self-advocating for therapy but when the rest of your family does book a therapy session involving you, not showing up is just neglectful. Then you can explain your grievances there. But even without the family therapy the idea is Rick is avoiding taking to his family
They're not his family. His family is dead. That's the reason for the gap. Can't make it any simpler.
Right, but in the show he decides he wants to have a better relationship with this family. I think that’s a pretty natural development for the alcoholic abuser who doesn’t see his new family as worth anything compared to his old
Yes, the direction of the show changes once a fat chink b***h becomes a writer.
Yep. Don’t know why people fight so hard against this
>when you boil it down
thats why it's cringe
the writer couldn't boil it down succinctly and instead produced verbal vomit
Well the elaborate speech was half the point, she wanted to appear smart to give the point more weight
She was trying to describe like five different things and that is the only point she got across, and it was shit
>Just like you chose to become a pickle
Holy kek
Holy frick what awful writing.
You’re meant to be able to say it in as few words as possible. You fricking moron.
“But it’s not possible” then you didn’t setup correctly in the proceeding acts you fricking moron.
X Men Dark Phoenix

Now examples of things people have seen
>Examples of things directed or written by a woman that people have watched
Why would people watch something directed by women?
As for example, this piece of shit from Barbie comes to mind.
I'm genuinely disappointed at how many people are walking around thinking that liking the Barbie movie makes them sophisticated and that its an example of a good film.
Is this the only way women can avoid a male mansplaining reality to them after they've said something stupid?
Is it?
It's a female fantasy to leave somebody so dumbfounded by your moronation that they won't even dignify you with a response?
>womenbros... what's our response?
...
Fug, took me a moment
Women confirmed for villains.
A+
>womenbros
what shall that be?
if the antagonist is left speechless, then most likely because they break the 4th wall and understood, that these scenes have nothing to do with them, but is a set up for the other characters to show off who they are and what they are doing.
the antagonist then withdraws, because they have been used as a trigger to stir up the dynamic while put in a bad role and they do not sympathize with that.
To leave the scene might be a distinctly female reaction, but not a useless law in the universe.
Listening instead of responding. Because that's what no one else did.
Scene from Enola Homes when the black woman lectures Sherlock for some reason
>Hero uses really good rhetoric
>Villain tunes it out and goes for the throat

Joss Whedon made a career of shutting up antagonists
Yeah by blasting a missle to their face. They never talk no jutsu to beat a big bad actually...
>Joss Whedon made a career of shutting up antagonists
... by having SMG do a flying kick at them and shove a magic macguffin down their throat
>Joss Whedon made a career of shutting up antagonists
Unironically this is the one thing Whedon never did use Lequip for. Even he saw how ridiculous that was.
>American Psycho
>Bateman left speechless at the other men's business cards

Yup, checks out.
that tweet is very stupid because a LOT of male fantasies are exactly like that
it was written by a man
Screenplay by two women, moron
>it was written by a man
a very homosexual man
and the joke is that they are grown men acting like teenage girls
>antagonist
He certainly seemed antagonizing to me.
Villain protagonist =/= Antagoist
This is not distinctly feminine. For example, the silence of Ajax in the 11th Odyssey, is greater, and grander, than anything he could have said.
Ancient Greeks were gays. gay brain equals female brain.
Ajax was in the Odyssee? Good to know.
Therapy is the wide scale institutional version of "I didn't want you to offer a solution, I wanted you to listen to my problems"
Thats why women love it and it doesn't do anything for men
I've noticed something akin to this in Cinemaphile arguments over the years. The people willing to post in a thread for hours to get the last word appear neurotic, aggressive and extremely eager to prove to themselves they can outsmart someone (which having the last word means to them). Literally anyone will do, they are not looking for an even intellectual challenge at all, they are just desperate for a little social win. It's not limited to women either, unsatisfied low T men behave like this as well, and I've been like that myself.
getting the last word is israeli
being right is white
I don't understand this obsession with getting the last word that some people have. I think a much stronger move, from a "winning the discussion" perspective (which is moronic but anyway) is to ignore and move on, deprive them of (you)s, basically.
The compulsion to respond is weakness, I don't why people don't understand this
>open a thread with over 300 replies
>see a pointless argument break out early in the thread
>hide this post + all replies
>more than half the thead is now hidden
Women think being confusing is the same as being smart.
therapy doesnt work
>t. dude who is pissed he can’t kill people and make them cry by disagreeing with them
what did it say
That with people like the therapist, it’s not enough to just tell them why they’re wrong, you have to own them so hard they kill themselves.
I get the concept of needing someone to see you way, especially if it’s for the best, but at a certain point you realize you don’t actually need to destroy everyone you disagree with
It seems so ridiculous as well when you just stop posting on Cinemaphile for a while and go to other communities that all have their own moronation. It's impossible not to realize that fighting this isn't what you should do with your time. Especially since the smart take (yours) is realistically only like 2% less moronic than the dumb take.
Yeah if I actually felt the need to come out on top over every dumb thing I was told, I’d waste way too much time. To me its better to just blow off people who say shit that doesn’t matter because they don’t control you anyways
so was he wrong or are you just coping
Eh he’s not wrong about how stubborn people can be, it was just funny to see his insistence on absolutely crushing them.
it’s because lying causes suffering
Eh maybe I’m used to it
he deleted it out of shame because he realized he went on a long rant about you can't just "let morons off like that" in response to
, which he misunderstood.
How about some perspective on more important and meaningful things you could do?
That's sort of the premise of the new weekly jump manga, think maybe this was written by a woman?

Another thing I just remembered about what's ridiculous about internet arguments is that in many places, you have no idea if you're not actually arguing with a child. There are people here who are 20 and others who are 30. The 30 year btfo's the 20 year old and thinks he's smart for doing so while he's actually just picking low hanging fruit. The only way you can be satisfied about outsmarting a kid as an adult nearing middle age is if you allow yourself to disregard how stupid you were as a 20 year old yourself.
Oh yeah for sure
Zoomers have a hard time navigating Cinemaphile because it's not an app and has a lot of scary old HTML buttons. The average age here is around 30.
>The average age here is around 30
"Zoomers" range from 14 to 27.
You would be surprised if I told you about a very popular spinoff site that's mainly inhabited by zoomers whose meme culture has been far more prolific than Cinemaphile's in the last 3 years.
OK NOW WE ROAR
Can I get this with sound? Holy whamen moment lmao

People make fun of guys for just being too into the movie Fight Club. WTf is this cringe garbage?
Don’t worry we’re all making fun of the fat b***h, don’t think she doesn’t get made fun of. It’s pretty much a mogging humiliation video
Imagine going on a hike with friends or your family and stumbling across this.
THAT'S A HUGE b***h
I can guarantee all of these women are most of the following
>college educated
>employed (and earning decent money)
>socially active (with a decent number of friends)
>sexually active (and in a relationship)
>housed
What do thye have to be upset about? Other people aren't as maximally respectful or nice to them at all times? As if anyone is owed that. I do not understand women at all. I can not understand being this upset and I'm a complete failure at life. I know men who are losermaxxed out the ass and they don't do anything like this. Someone explain.
>What do thye have to be upset about?
an average looking guy dared ask for their number
It’s not freedom and equality unless you can attack other people and be sexist with impunity. I mean come on women’s liberation happens and all of a sudden you’re not allowed to just hurt people anymore? They didn’t do it just to be civil people in an equal society like some diet american, it’s not worth having if you can’t hurt people like the men get to!
because none of those things make women happy
they’ve been tricked into hating what they need
What does make them happy?
special treatment and having all of their needs met
relaxation and pleasure
Women are not wired to be equal to men. Women said "we want to be equal" and men said "ok" and they started holding women to the same standards as men. Chivalry is dead but women can't admit that they want it in the first place. They wanted "ladies first" doctrine but to also have the same economic and social advantages as men. It doesn't work like that. There is no free lunch and every action in life has a trade off. So women are unhappy that men don't treat them special anymore, but the cognitive dissonance kicks in when they realize that what they actually expect from men is entirely old fashioned and doesn't vibe well with modern feminism. Instead they just lash out against "society" and can't communicate the real source of their discontent. Women are fricking awful at communicating their true wants and filter their desires through layers of passive aggressive bullshit. Meanwhile men don't get this at all because male brains are not wired to pick up on subtle social cues so all of this just looks like insane reeeeing to them.
Honestly this does kind of make sense. Young guys are in a fix because they are dealing with women who want to be treated like equals (like men?) but when it comes to romance you still have to make them feel like a woman. In an office environment that is kind of tough, especially with current HR norms. I think in college it's a bit easier even with Title 9 bs.
Before the 1960s if a man got a woman pregnant, it was expected that he should man up and marry her. Now it's "get an abortion, b***h". Women absolutely cannot stand the downstream effects of the sexual revolution, which they pushed for in the first place. The sexual revolution allowed men to pump and dump them. Women didn't realize how much they would hate removing romance and consequences from sex. Now relations between men and women are very "gay". Grinder came first. Tinder is the immitator. The concept of no strings attached sex is indeed very "gay".
holy shit how can i be as smart as you homie where are you getting these salient points
No fault divorce and consequence free sex ruined romance forever. Emotionally loaded concepts like romance require costly trade offs. Love is better when it's dangerous. Love isn't dangerous anymore.
i was about to agree you before i remembered that no looks matched couples will ever even get to these points anymore because of hoeflation
I am more referring to the past. The post 60s generation. The zenith of the sexual revolution is no one having sex. We are past the point of romance. It died a long time ago.
very smart post ty wise sage
women are amazingly adept at finding reasons to be unhappy
IRL most incels are actually just failed normies. It's insane but a 5/10 dude with his own money and apartment, or even house, has less SMV than that fat woman.
Most incels are brown, third world manlets pretending to be American.

Yes she is
Let's be reasonable and logical, and face up to facts, women aren't human; they're not even like monkey's or orangutans. Those muddle-headed, pea-brained, waste-your-money liberals might want to brainwash you into thinking that girls are good for something other than sucking wiener, but you and I and every other sensible man knows better. These bawds were put on Earth to steal your money; be whining, complaining and arrogant; and to serve as reasonably comfortable holsters for your erections when one is aroused by the call of nature.
First off, scientific research has it that women just aren't the same as men. They don't like things like cameras or computers or state-of-the-art stereos, simply because the higher centers of their brains aren't developed as well as a man's. Furthermore, according to a very fine article in The National Enquirer, it's been proven that women aren't as smart as men. It takes real guts to admit it, but women are mindless creatures... Don't let those detestable, ugly, disgusting, sour-pussed lesbian diesel-dyke Women's Libbers fool you, along with their cotillions of homosexual yes men. Women are most happy when they are serving their twin gods of Mammon and king wiener.
Men work hard, make money, grind the wheels of business, only to fall victim to early deaths dealt out by the insane caprices of vengeful bawds... they should be rounded up in a pen filled with pigs and forced to eat filthy offal, and maybe then they would appreciate a fine figure of a man who wants to own and take care of them, even if he is perhaps just a wee bit nervous and high-strung and suspicious of some people's motives.
!!!FACT!!!
LMAO! This is so true. Women are so petty. Maybe they should study harder if they don't want guys explaining shit all the time
Only such a scene I can think of is Good Will Hunting, which was written by Affleck and Damon.
I feel like this is less a female fantasy and more a child's fantasy. Many PG-rated children's films from the 80s and 90s I grew up on had the same element - the kids getting the better of the antagonists - mean school principles, evil real estate developers, their dad's rich aloof butthole boss, etc and all of them ended with the antagonist getting "owned" in some lame way like being called a butthead and then left stammering for a comeback as they're hauled off in cuffs
women are children
I dunno, as a guy it's very satisfying if you pull that off IRL.
speechless because of how stupid the woman sounded?
Doesn't that happen a lot in Aaron Sorkin's work?
>ITT: severely mentally ill and autistic people in desperate need of therapy shitting in therapy and claiming it doesn’t work

Which ironically also makes me a midwit, but so are all of you.
that "word" has only ever described the people who'd use it.
I once told some bros that the woman that sucks their dicks and the woman who kisses their children shouldn't be the same woman. They were also left speechless.
What am I, man or woman?
you're a catholicuck and you described sacred vs profane love.
