This Is A Hot Take On Threads. I Almost Got Run Off The Site For It. Lol

Remind me later.

I’m curious as to if a sociologist has compiled the phenomenon that occurs when people aren’t able to reply to a post. A lot get irrationally angry and screenshot the post to reply anyway. It’s weird seeing people’s response to not having access to a complete stranger’s account.

I believe the internet has conditioned people into thinking they parasocially deserve access to complete strangers at all times. If that access is denied it triggers some weird stimuli in the brain to make them find a way to reply anyway.

You can see this with muting and blocking too. “Of course that account blocked me!” Well maybe things need to be said without dealing with the ramblings of rude/ malicious replies.

You deserve to have an opinion. But I also deserve to not hear your opinion, if I don’t want to hear it.

It takes some people literal decades to grasp this concept. You aren’t entitled to have access to others.

Well I had a weird dream that the MASH Finale was even sadder. Sophie was starting to go and Colonel Potter couldn’t bring himself to believe it. So he did walks around the camp with her and Radar went with them. Father Mulcahy receives word from B.J. that his wife Peggy passed away. So Mulcahy holds separate secret funeral for both Potter’s horse and public funeral for B.J.’s wife all while still keeping his personal secret.

Then right after the funeral who comes “home” to the 4077 but Hawkeye himself? He notices the mood is very different in camp and begins to slowly cheer some people up. Yet respectfully to the pain. But it doesn’t work for B.J. The last part I saw is B.J. staring sadly at Hawkeye from a distance; just as they depart for home.

Brain does that weird thing where you can read character’s thoughts in the dream. B.J. thinks as the finale proceeds “I wish it was all different. I wish you could have met Peg and been my daughter’s uncle. Now we’re all going back home to the real world and my best friend won’t be there.”

(Klinger still gets married from what I saw but stays in Korea. Charles tries to help B.J. with Margaret but fails. There’s a minor funny moment where there’s cake after Peggy’s funeral but it’s entirely too sweet. It’s implied so people are just finding ways to respectfully discard of it after taking a few bites.)

I usually stop watching Dexter around Season 4, Episode 7.

Rant

Dexter not killing Trinity feels like a plot contrivance; there’s no real reason for him to let him live. He just decides not to kill him after already receiving the proof he needed. Instead, he gets sidetracked with some serial killer of the week because “he threatened Deb.” Really, Dexter? Do you not remember what happened just a few episodes ago because of Trinity?

The idea that “Trinity is on cooldown” doesn’t make sense. When has that ever been a consideration for him? It felt like the showrunners didn't want a predictable series, so they made Dexter act out of character. Trinity isn’t just another Miguel situation; Dexter has seen him kill innocents live. There’s no justification for not dealing with him ASAP.

You could argue that Dexter is struggling with parenthood and being a husband, which clouds his judgment. However, he has never allowed his role as a boyfriend and pseudo-father to so severely distort his logical reasoning. Show runners wanted Trinity to hurt Dexter. The only way they could get that outcome was to make Dexter act outside of his norm.

“Maybe he wanted to learn more about having a normal family life from Trinity.”

Dexter has tabled other serial killers with normal lives. He knows how’s to put on a show and still exist.

“Well Rita needed to go out that way for the set up!” (in a totally different show that the writers definitely knew would be a reality someday)

Actual take I’ve seen before. That show also shifts the dynamics around with the audiences relationship with Dexter so not a fan. I’ll explain. Imagine if Supernatural had a spin-off show that said: “erm actually the Winchesters were pieces of shit the entire time. You should hate them actually. Because technically they were still killing people even if they were irredeemable monsters!”

Then Sam and Dean are killed off by Adam and that found footage werewolf they chose not to hunt.

That’s how that ending feels. So no that “setup” isn’t a good payoff to either series. I’ll just pretend the show ended after S3.

I’m so sick and tired of automod systems in social media. I can’t even say “Gay lil —“ without the automod assuming I’m being offensive. Then appealing it sends it off to an ai that keeps the rejection.

Please for the love of EVERYTHING hire actual people from the same countries to review this stuff.

That way even if it goes to an actual human they’ll be judging it within cultural context.

Guess I’m asking too much of a service that offers no product except hosting and makes all its money off the users’ product.

TikTok is pro self censored speech. Alcohol in any capacity isn’t allowed to be mentioned. Even in a video where OP is heavily slurring their words from the passenger seat and is calling a rearview mirror a windshield repeatedly.

This can’t even be argued for safety on the platform type of thing. Because someone is mostly naked on another few scrolls away and another scroll away is a detailed description of a serial killer’s mutilated victims with poorly blurred photos. Plus the platform has content controls that can be enabled.

This platform started the trend of “unalive” “grape” and other self censorship. Even in the midst of the ad apocalypse on YouTube that type of self censorship would have been seen as cowardly. Now the pendulum has shifted and users on the internet self censor out of fear of getting their posts deleted. Far worse with the possibility of even getting banned.

I’m tired of basic adult conversation being forcibly watered down or flat out censored by big tech. No one is responsible for another’s sobriety or “influence”.

An entire generation is being conditioned into self censorship about very serious topics. The older generations are already following too.

This isn’t a “muh free speech” post btw. This is a “wtf how did we get here in allowing basic adult conversation being banned in social media”. Even Zuckerberg with all his blanket ban hammers and comment removals was never this bad.

You have a brick. It looks like a brick. It feels like a brick. Yet, over the past few days, people have been desperately trying to buy or steal the brick from you. You're starting to feel scared.
