That's how I imagine people in NYC feel about the rest of America. Then I lie in my hammock in my backyard and listen to the sound of no people, and I feel even.

[–]reddituser1158 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've lived in both CA and in NYC and I will say NYC is this times 10000%. Everyone here seems to think NYC is the only city out there. Many people laugh when you bring up the idea of living in another small town city. Or, they've never even heard of the town/state or even think of its relevance.

It's easy to see how this happens, everything important happens here, and it is the largest city in America. Still, it's a very closed minded view of the world.

Born and bread Californian here, living in NY for 5 years. No sorry, NY'ers have massive boners about their paperwork, red tape, and bureaucratic process, not NY or being a NYer

In fact, just this past week, the NY NPR radio hosts pointed to the fact that CA was able to swiftly pass a bill to raise the minimum wage in CA, whereas NY is tripping over its shoelaces to even get a budget in on time and not even considering trying to get the "$15 per hour" minimum wage increase" approved any time soon...

As someone with feet in both pools, I was pleasantly amused by that news report, especially since I've grown to accept the fact that NY'ers are the American equivalent of Vogons.

Imagine...you're on another world. A world with another sky, a different landscape, fantastical buildings. But this world is falling apart. These wondrous buildings are toppling, the fantastical landscape collapsing in on itself. The dream is falling apart...but it's only this dream. A man and a woman place a baby into a rocket ship and look down at the child, and then at each other. As this world falls apart around them, what you see in their eyes isn't fear...it's hope. They close the hatch to the rocket, the ship takes off, and we pull in on a close up of the rocket escaping the planet's atmosphere. We just see the ship, not the brand name of the ship, not the occupant or where he's going. Just the ship. And then the tagline: Your ticket to a better world.

Fantastic show. I loved his "I don't give a shit who you are" attitude.

[–]iatethecheesestick 58ポイント59ポイント  (32子コメント)

Since you're one of the few people here to comment directly about the show, and since I've never gotten to talk to anyone about this, I'll ask you. How did you feel about what they did to Michael Ginsberg's character? I seriously loved him, he was one of my favorite characters on the show, and I felt like they just didn't know what do with him at a certain point so they just SPOILER had him cut his nipple off and be sent an a mental institution, never to be heard from again. It made me so mad, it was so out of left felid. I thought at least he's end up with Peggy. Similar to what they did to Salvatore, except at least I kind of understood that as it spoke to what it was like to be a gay man in the 50s.

[–]DrHenryPym 33ポイント34ポイント  (7子コメント)

I thought it was perfect for his character: a neurotic Luddite.

[–]iatethecheesestick 8ポイント9ポイント  (6子コメント)

They made him out to be lovably neurotic though, not stalker/cut your nipple off and give it to Peggy in a box kind of neurotic. Quite a leap!

[–]WaitingToBeBanned 13ポイント14ポイント  (3子コメント)

He got progressively worse. He started out just blathering.

[–]Bronycorn 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

When they introduced the computer in "The Monolith" his decline was almost shocking. Which was perfect. The writers wanted to portray Peggy's sudden realization that they were working with a crazy person. I think today he would be diagnosed as schizophrenic, but back then he was just crazy.

[–]ScratchinOVALord 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

nah, ginsberg was always really really weird. The one that sticks out in my mind the most was when he was dead serious in his "i was born on mars" speech. its one of those one off things that he did/said though so if you forget about it (which i initially did) his breakdown was sort of left field but once you realize the odd stuff he did/said it made sense.

[–]ikindoflikemovies 14ポイント15ポイント  (6子コメント)

It was real weird what they did with him but I think because of the actor's career they had to get rid of him. That guy appeared in different movies and had a lead in a new tv show (that didn't seem to go anywhere) and is now the lawyer in Silicon Valley, along with other stuff I'm sure. Maybe he got too busy or chose to not renew his contract so they just had to ditch him because that was SUCH a weird thing to do to his character naturally.

[–]SixPackAndNothinToDo 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you go back and watch the first episodes he appears in, he is already showing signs of mental illness. So this was entirely planned.

[–]iatethecheesestick 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

I had the same thought, that they were under some sort of constraint with the actor. But seriously? They put in real time and development with his character -- showing his family situation with his dad, having him awkwardly and adorably fumble through that first date, basically all these things to make him likable and relatable to the audience just to essentially kill him off like an extra with no dignity. There was no closure!

[–]seanjmo 15ポイント16ポイント  (2子コメント)

That's one of the reasons why this is my favorite show ever, and why the portrayals and characterizations are so reflective of how actual life often plays out. People come and go with little rhyme or reason, and when our lives intersect with others it's seldom with a narrative grace. Mad Men defied my narrative expectations by never really giving me what I thought might be coming. Does that make sense? Things were largely unpredictable because life itself is largely unpredictable.

That said, I really wanted Sal to show up again. What a great character.

[–]iatethecheesestick 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

It makes sense, I loved the show for it too. It can just leave you so unfulfilled at times. I felt the same way about Sal, he was just gone.

[–]sknot1454 28ポイント29ポイント  (2子コメント)

Salvatore was one of my favorite characters on that show. Hated when he came out and then just disappeared.

[–]ImASoftwareEngineer 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

Same here! It bummed me out because I feel there was much more to use his character for.

[–]sabrefudge 21ポイント22ポイント  (1子コメント)

I actually liked that they did that with his character.

It was so sudden and weird and sad.

Just like real life.

Sometimes people go crazy, for one reason or another, and it seems to come out of nowhere. He was a really weird guy, perhaps had some deeper issues going on, and he finally snapped.

I find it weirdly realistic when shows do stuff like that, without a huge lead-in or dramatic building up. Sometimes people go crazy, sometimes people die, sometimes bad stuff happens... and you don't always see it coming.

Sometimes, actually a lot of times, life throws a curveball and you just have to adapt with no time to prepare.

[–]seanjmo 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

God damn. I just responded to another comment with the same essential explanation for why I felt the handling of Michael's character was appropriate to how the show operates (and why I fucking love it). Should've just kept on reading and linked them to your comment.

[–]SAttack 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

He was shown as being unstable in previous seasons however. He actually believed that he was an alien. The computer in the office brought out his paranoia and made him increasingly unstable until he broke. Ginsberg had a wonderful character arc.

[–]QinjiangReservoir 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

It was jarring at first, but after a while I started to think it was the writers way of showing not everyone gets a happy story. Sometimes, you just vanish away into some institution, be it a psychiatric hospital or prison or whatever.

[–]Chadbarros 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I do believe that the way he ended in the show was quite strange. I didn't mind his character in the show so for me it was definitely something that didn't make too much sense.

[–]lizzy_zig 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

didn't he start going crazy after they brought a computer into the office? Yeah I was totally surprised by the nipple thing. But it was kinda hilarious too. wasn't expecting SPOILER the one guy to go off and join the hari krisnas or the English guy to hang himself or the mom to get cancer now that i think about it. Great Show, I miss it. Stuff would just change outta nowhere.

I grew up overseas and I had a large circle of European/American friends. It wasn't uncommon for them to discuss how 'stupid' America was compared to their home countries. Other Americans would usually join in or just sit there and nod.

I'm a Euro immigrant. In the old country, I used to work in a shit job, which I commuted to via packed subway. At night I slept on a sofa in a tiny studio apartment. I got tired of it all and left for America.

Ten years later, I own a house in an amazing city, two cars, a rental property, like a million guns, and a plot of land on a lake with a sand pit where my buddies and I shoot them.

It was usually about Guns/Healthcare.

And to be clear, these people were my friends and I didn't mind them having an opinion about it. I just found it weird that they'd sit there and criticize things about another country which didn't actually affect them.

The other day, one of my British friends shared a video on facebook which was about "Sex ed in the EU vs Sex ed in America". The video just went on about how backwards American sex ed was and that it should be more like Europe.

[–]JagAlskarDigMucho 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

Honestly, no.

You might hear differently on Reddit, but that's simply because people enjoy being edgelords and hating on massive groups of people for no reason, whether it's racism, xenophobia or what have you.

But honestly everybody I know back home really just think they're very polite, nice and good tippers. Confused with guns but all around nice enough people. Most everybody does at least one holiday in the USA, and we consume massive amounts of American media/culture every single day. Also, besides Ireland we're closer culturally to America than really any other European nation, so we tend not to hate on them too much besides for some lighthearted banter.

I moved to the USA from Scotland for Uni, and decided to stay. I enjoy it, and love the life I've built. I would love to move back one day but I'm enjoying life as is. I just don't understand people who group ALL americans together like they're a monolithic entity. If you hate a group of people based upon characteristics they can't change, you're no better than a racist. Honestly, if you hate Americans because they're Americans you are just as low to me as any other racist.

Rambled on but TLDR; no.
