TopicPsychology study on why there's more single men nowadays
Guns_of_Verdun

People are going to scream at me for being sexist but there really isn't much incentive for men in long term relationships.

IF they just want sex (which is all a lot of men want) then hook-up culture is huuuuuuuuuge.

And due to most marriages ending in divorce and most husbands/fathers having to pay for their wives and kids. There's a tremendous finianical risk connected with a long term relationship.

So as a result the only men seeking serious long term relationships are:
  1. Ones who are used to the norms of society and just continue what their parents did
  2. Ones who are genuinely in love


Both of these are going to be smaller figures than they were 50 years ago.

This isn't as big of an issue for women. As progressive as society is (which is debatable in of itself) men are still expected to be the breadwinner, men are expected to pay for women and children after divorce and abortion rights are going backwards not forwards.

You'll note that despite the fact relationships are less common, Hook up culture gets more popular every year.

But Thor Dark World... even Thor 1 to some extent, that s*** probably didn't need to exist. Thor literally goes through the whole adjusting to Earth ways plot in the first Avengers again, which absolutely diminishes the necessity of the first 2 Thor movies. I guess they do introduce Loki well enough... but Avengers also kinda tells us all we need to know about him
I disagree.

Thor is amazing.
Loki is amazing.
Heimdial(Sp) is great.

Even Thor's little buddies are fun.

Thor 1 was a great romp.
Thor 2 had Loki and Thor dealing with mommy's death which was great.

Just seeing Thor smash shit with his power is what mindless blockbuster runaway Hollywood action shlock budgets were made for.

I agree Thor 2 and Ironman 2 are in the low tier MCU movies but there was more heart in Loki looking like Jesse from Breaking Bad in his prison cell after mommy died and daddy was dispatched with haste than there was in the entire Ultron movie.

Plus the ending was cool even if it didn't amount to anything.

Depending on how loose Gilligan wants to be with reality, maybe both Kim and Jimmy are charged, and the two of em land in a low-security prison that houses both men and women.

Final scene could play out showing split screen of them going through all the same stuff, parallel, and they meet up to talk through a fence in the activity yard or something and be like "Fuck."
That's fan fiction level.

Might as well call for a scene where Saul is in an interrogation room with a hooded figure. He asks "Hey, where's my lawyer?" and the figure goes "You don't get a lawyer" and unmasks to reveal himself to be the Airbase captain

Who then beats the crap out of Saul.

About as realistic

There's always been a question in religion no matter which one about why God never intervenes in the world he created or at least does so in bizarre ways. And I think we've created an explanation.

There's probably a commity. Every time God wants to do something he has to run it by a committee of Angels and Prophets before he does it and as a result it gets nixed all the time or comes lates or seems totally random and stupid.

I mean imagine you were Q from Star Trek. Imagine all the shit you would you do. Now imagine you had to run every use of your powers by a committee before you could use them. What would you even get done?

Suddenly the Earth and universe and chaos and nonsense and lack of a plan and stuff that doesn't add up makes perfect sense if you think of it in the realm of God being President and there being some kind of congress who blocks everything he does for various reasons.

Or she does. I ain't sexist.

I'd laugh out loud if he did the opposite.

Kim signed her confession. Saul claims Kim was the mastermind and made him do it, threatening him to keep making her money.

Saul cuts a deal and continues slippin'. Kim goes to prison next to Spooge's wife.

Makes no sense but it'd be hilarious

Now those all seem about as relevant as Rebecca Black.

Yeah she was honestly better at scamming and at times morally worse than Jimmy. She was more at fault for Howards state of mind leading to his death. Kim just happened to get away before the shit hit the fan with Walt meeting Saul. I definitely enjoy her character.
Not only that, her "confession" (In which she pretended not to know Saul was alive and well and had contacted her) comes long after the point that there can be any consequences.

If anything it just brought back a world of hurt and pain to Howards widow for literally no reason.

It's pretending to be virtuous when really you're down in the dirt like rest of them as Mike said.

They've done this a lot in Season 6. Kim is not a badly written character at all but they keep trying to act like she's sympathetic and to me she's not at all. She's a monster.

Mike - PTSD ridden alcoholic who has a deathwish and ends up getting stabbed to the brink of death in the street by random thugs who wanted beer money. Failed to stop Walt, failed to stop Werner. Pretty much failed at life.

Victor - Got caught at a murder scene by a dozen witnesses and then tried to usurp a position in Gus' empire, leading to him needing to be killed.

Tyrus - Was too fucking stupid to notice a giant bomb under a dude's wheelchair and also too fucking stupid to realize if you're scoping a place out for safety you need to have eyes on it the entire time and not just walk away for 20 minutes and assume it's still safe

Don Eladio - Need I say more? Killed his boytoy and turned him to a cartel bitch.

Gale - Had direct evidence tying Gus to crime and the supermeth lab lying around his home

Jessie - Druggie idiot stole Gus' product, killed his most reliable cook and went insane.

Walter White - Ruined everything.and killed everyone

German guy - Was nearly having a heartattack out of fear and panic before the operation even got off the ground, then killed himself.

Wener Zeigler - Was completely off on his estimates, disobeyed orders, ran away from the compound and led the Salamanca's straight to him.

Drug Dealers - Employ and murder children. Puting loads of heat and attention onto them

No you're not Gus. The only dude you ever did businsess with who was actually solid and professional was Lyle.
