      great.

      Now I need to rewatch that show.

      Again.

      Not that I hate it.

      I just want to announce it and hope that people will join in.

            The Good Place! Just go in blind, and definitely push through it it’s not too much of your thing, it’s 4 seasons and the ending makes it absolutely worth it. Amazing show all around.

                I don’t see why they said it, I was hooked very early. Schur is in top form with Good Place, he has a wonderfully wry yet warm sense of humour.

                I really don’t know how you to tell you how to watch it without spiiersl.

                Watch the first 4-5 episodes. If you liked the humor, you will like the rest

                I lost interest on my first attempt and didn’t watch it again until I got the “spoilers”, so let me help you out:

                The Good Place Ep2

                They’re not in the good place, they’re actually all being tortured in hell and Eleanor convinces the head demon to let her improve herself so she can get into heaven.

                The show always pretends it’s going to repeat itself, but it never does (for longer than a joke montage).

                Yeah I don’t know why I said that ahah.
                It’s a great show, if you enjoyed what Michael Schur made so far (The Office, Parks and Recs, Brooklyn 99, etc.), you’ll definitely enjoy it.

              I’m quite alone with the opinion but for me the ending and pretty much the whole last season was not good. Up to that though, really great.

                I’ll agree that the last season wasn’t as good as the first three, but it was still good. The finale was amazing.

            Without having read the other repllied in full: “The Good Place”. If you are into phylosophy, just got in blind. Just watch it. Too many spoilers otherwise

        I’ve been watching it for the first time for the past two weeks. Wish I had discovered it sooner, but reddit was obsessed with the show when it was new and it kind of turned me off from it. Stupid, I know, but reddit tends to love shows I hate (like The Office US and Fallout).

        Glad I gave it a chance cause it’s honestly one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. It’s near the top of my list, next to Better Caul Saul.

    sucks me in and makes me feeling like I’ve just been imprisoned in a nightmarish hellscape for 10,000 years

    Black Mirror, White Christmas episode. The episode also takes “blocking someone” to a whole new degree of whoa.

      That episode is why Cancel Culture scares me and why I hate mob mentality online… With the net smaller than ever, a ban on any site is basically your whole life over.

      Just shut off from entire communities and outlets. From friends you can’t access on any other platform.

      Ostracized and chased from the net in the age where more of the world is online than off.,

    Reminds me of Miles “Lucky” O’Brien getting mentally imprisoned for 20 years while only an hour passes on the station.

      Or Picard getting stranded on that desert island, and spends about a week eating strange mushrooms and carving flutes from animal bones. To this day the Enterprise crew deny it ever happened, and fabricated some story involving time dilation

    I laughed uncontrollably at this. I’m really glad I didn’t see this last night while I was high, I probably would have had a huge asthma attack. It’s gold.

        I don’t think anything could make this possible, unless it was possible for another device to take over the “thinking” processing.

        Our brains can change how they experience time to process things faster, but they need to shut off a lot of the higher thought to do so (it can happen during life/death scenarios). And even then, the descriptions I’ve heard of that where there’s a decent real time reference makes it sound like the thought speedup was only by a factor of less than 10, probably not more than 5.

        And even with another device that could “think” for you even faster, I believe the closest it could really do is implant memories of having spent a large amount of time stuck in some device. Though it depends on the low level details of what conscious thought and existence actually are.

          At the risk of being that guy; this is an appeal to an authority, and not a very good one at that.

          In the article she expresses she’s just philosophizing on hypothetical technologies.

          It’s really not that much different from thinking about episode ideas for Black Mirror.
