Like, whatever idc but all that twitter video did is give me +1 respect for KC and -1 respect for whoever the fuck that guy was, solely based on the way she handled it.
It's got to be a real mindfuck to have an appreciably small penis.
Like it's the ultimate way to undermine your masculinity that gets thrown around by people around you on a daily basis, to the point even loads of men with decent sized dicks get a complex about it.
And there's literally nothing you can do about it.

everyone in the show is horrible and I didn't want any of them to succeed so I stopped watching
Hot take: I think Breaking Bad actually sucks and is overhyped
This isn't me being a contrarian, this is I didn't watch the show when it was the hot shit on TV, I watched it after it was finished on Netflix, and I think watching it all in one go like that exposed it's flaws big time.
It was remarkable for people who were not used to seeing this kind of thing from network television, I guess? Like if the bar is low, it skips over it.
But the characterization is all over the fucking place. The people in it are unpleasant crazy people whose motivations make no fucking sense. Nobody behaves like humans.
Do not like.
it's not like
a great show in that you should like the characters, it's a great show in that it tells an interesting story about a man's ability to reclaim his life and get power
I guess
it was an interesting show to watch, but I'd rather watch The Office 14 more times.
uh
it's more about a man destroying his life and family because of his pride
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I'm watching through Breaking Bad for the first time on Netflix and I think it's astoundingly good.
I'm definitely not sure I can look at any particular character and think "Yes, you are definitely not acting like a human". I've actually been thinking of the characterization in it as one of its high points.

Those aren't mutually exclusive!

I will suspend my disbelief with a lot for the premise, provided the people act like how people realistically would act given the premise you have established.
If your premise establishes that there's a very specific culture or worldview or behavioral norm for the characters that is sharply different from reality (Game of Thrones, The Expanse), I will accept that, as is fairly standard for say, sci fi or fantasy.
If your fictional world is deliberately set up as unreal, silly, or hyper-detailed in a way that also reflects on the characters, I will accept that too (Pushing Daisies, Legion)
But unless you're making some kind of deliberate affectation with some kind of purpose in mind, I generally expect people to act like people with consistent hew-mon motivations and responses to the world around them and the other characters in it.
When characters are dumb because someone needs to be dumb for this plot to happen, when one character is shrill or a dickhead because otherwise there's no conflict, this is bad writing and I reject it.

there's hardly anything I can't stand more than that
It's got to be a real mindfuck to have an appreciably small penis.
Like it's the ultimate way to undermine your masculinity that gets thrown around by people around you on a daily basis, to the point even loads of men with decent sized dicks get a complex about it.
And there's literally nothing you can do about it.
End this body shaming now.
yeah it must be so bad that whenever you talk about it, even on an anonymous internet forum, you carefully word your post so that it sounds hypothetical
Walt did have insurance, though. His insurance from his high school teaching job wouldn't cover a $500K specialist.
...yeah that is the point of the comic.
I don't get the point, then. The first doctor Walt saw said nothing could be done for his cancer.
because he wouldn't have had to pay for that specialist himself in a lot of other places?
I don't think that's how it works. If 9 out of 10 doctors say 'treatment isn't going to work, look into hospice care', I can't see insurance paying up for a world-renowned specialist.

Eh, even countries with nationalized healthcare have some treatments they won't pay for for various reasons.
I know for a fact that there are certain pediatric cancer treatments that the NHS in the UK, for one, just doesn't offer because they are too expensive. They're cutting-edge but fairly routine at the better hospitals in the US.
Edit: Some of them are even covered by insurance, too.

Agreed, but never gonna happen.
it happened in 2008
no lessons were learned
it'll happen again, the question is just when

A lot of network TV shows don't hold up to a binge watch tbh because the network standard of the "writer's room" structure has a lot of episode-to-episode writing or small arc writing (like only plotting out maybe 3 to 6 episodes at a time and vaguely sketching out the rest of the season), and binge watching really shines a light on that in a way you might not notice in the intended weekly viewing schedule.
I watch a lot of Netflix these days, I don't really watch TV proper, and it's rare that I see a conventionally produced TV show that has consistent episode to episode characterization.
especially the "he had to be stupid because otherwise no plot"
just go to writer jail
make characters and then have their world views collide. It is a very good starting point for a story.
But if that can't work, you can make it tragic coincidence instead. It really should not be that hard to avoid us shouting at the screen "JUST FUCKING TELL HER YOU FUCK" and have us go oh, no, he never told her this and now it's too late and now the plot is happening
don't forget the "and now it's too late" because then it's just fucking infuriating
it's like if romeo was fully awake he just couldn't be arsed to go "oh hey gurl, I'm okay, don't drink the poison", instead of not waking up in time

For about 2 grand, I would basically have all brewing options available to me, and be able to produce 20 gallon batches.
I think that is going to be rolled into my kitchen reno when I do that in a couple years.

nobody has said that

or even close to it

Great news! It looks like you now qualify for the 3x weekly junkmail letters claiming you can refinance with them for a great rate!
i can't wait!
The comic pretty heavily implies that the show ends if Walt gets someone to pay for his health costs.
Which explicitly happens in the show and then the show doesn't end? so.....
Congratulations on your impending home ownership.
thanks!
