My life is a movie. The main character is unlikable, the story is simple, and the supporting cast don't add excitement. 4/10, skip.

She keeps asking the same question and he gives the same explanation. I doubt she’ll ever get it. Just keep going around in circles.

I think it's just that she's not picking up the symbolism of where he's going with the metaphor. She's just genuinely answering

Oh good, more of Ricky Gervais showing that he's an atheist. We get it, Ricky.

Now that's something. Had a rough year & had to re-learn lots of things, huh? I'd like to hear your story. What happened, how you felt, etc.

Yes, that's it. I feel I already did a lot of progress. I mean, I'm totally indipendent and I'm relearning how to drive. Still some work to

It's definitely easier said than done and I have my night terrors thinking about the unfairness of it all, but it helps.

Same, honestly; people say "But you can't change it, so why worry?", and it's the least helpful thing lmao, that's *part of why I hate it*
lespritdelescargot
The way I deal with it is by thinking "billions have died before me; if they managed it, so will I". I'm not sure why, but it helps.

Implying I'm enjoying the movie, bold assumption.
ThanatosElNyx
That was a given in the premise, so there was no implication.

In the show, this lady has a thing for Kevin Hart.

What if you are not enjoying the movie?

Watch a different movie

All movies are different though. What's worse, the majority of us can't turn it off even if we want to, some have tried but here they are

Have you tried becoming a millionaire comedian?
evasiveinaction
Open a beer, smoke a cigarette, crack some jokes about how awful the movie is. Often that makes a movie seem a lot more enjoyable to me.

That's my take too on jackasses that literally refuse to acknowledge anyone's right to die can be a sane choice.

That would mean life has no meaning or purpose other than that which you project onto occurrences, which is a form of delusion?
Eva88888
Maybe?Occurrences due to chaos of other people's choices. I don't know, I'm here asking myself how to get over the inability to fix things
Eva88888
Or*
Boffobeast
Life is allowing and understanding most things are neutral and we give meaning to it. There is flow that we tend to ignore to mold our lives
Boffobeast
To what we feel is the way we want it to be usually based on the way we’ve been programmed since birth. Got to feel your way to what’s next.
BoogalooBadger
Truth would be to just see them for what they are; a series of happenings.
BoogalooBadger
Philosophy majors on this thread right now:
MachineGunJeanMaurice
It’s a very moving series, but interactions with that character are just a way for Gervais to express those opinions. He’s right, but still.
newAccountOnlyOnePurpose
I mean seriously... how dumb is that argument "we only like movies because we can watch them twice." Not at all correct or relatable.
Dogsdontwearpants
It's like how Aaron Sorkin's writing is his fantasy of how he would own another person by how right he is, which doesn't happen much in RL.
bolobass
You figured out how writing a show works, congratulations.
newAccountOnlyOnePurpose
no writing a good show involves making every character's motivations and lines make sense, not just the main character
bolobass
If you haven't seen this one I recommend it.
falloutmonk

i18736524742069

Stralau
It was too saccharine to move me, really. His relationship with his wife seemed fake and annoying and the tart with a heart fell flat.
wetspaghettiblanket
I agree. Found the whole series underwhelming
BearsDontCare
...i mean...you are entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong.
YesmynameisGreg
Atheism is a response to to religion. Agnosticism is the only impartial logical choice. I disagree Gervais is correct, bc he's too certain
Noughmad
How certain you are has nothing to do with whether you're correct or not. I'm sure the world won't end tomorrow, am I not correct?
YesmynameisGreg
I get what you're saying, but predicting an observable event is different from discounting the existence of the unobservable.
newAccountOnlyOnePurpose
I hate that use of "logical." Is it logical? What logic did you use? Which starting principles? How did you manipulate them logically.
YesmynameisGreg
Question presented: does x thing exist. Base descriptor of X thing: it is unobservable. Therefore there is no way of knowing.
YesmynameisGreg
Also, not enough space in 140 characters to do a detailed logical exploration.
ThanatosElNyx
You can be both Agnostic and an Atheist. They answer different questions.
YesmynameisGreg
"I don't know if God exists, but God doesn't exist."?
ThanatosElNyx
It would be more like "I don't believe god(s) exists but I don't know a god(s) doesn't exist"
YesmynameisGreg
That brings it back to my point. Belief only contradicts belief. Atheism is a belief system, not a logical conclusion.
adamlindellclark
Atheism isn't a response to religion, it's the default. A person only follows a religion once they learn how and decide/are told it's 1/2
adamlindellclark
2/2 the right thing to do.
YesmynameisGreg
A default is "I don't know what exists beyond what is observable" not "x thingy cannot exist because it is not observable".
adamlindellclark
I guess that depends on how one defines atheism. To me it simply means a lack of belief in a god, rather than affirmation that there is 1/2
adamlindellclark
2/2 no god, but I get your point.
LullabyJones
I struggle with Ricky Gervais. I agree with like 90% of what he says but he’s such an asshole about it. There’s got to be a German word 4 it
ToEndLikeThis
It's called "Krankenwagen"
lespritdelescargot
The asshole thing is mostly a character he plays. It is ABSOLUTELY based on himself, but it's an exaggeration. Really good man in real life.

I'm German, but weirdly, I can't think of a word to describe that.

I thought it was the day he's born, and the day he finds out why.

3, the day he realizes science will make his grandkids live forever young, not him, because he spent six decades disinterested in science.

Two deaths too, the day they die, and the day the last person who knew them dies or forgets them.

Nah, 1st death is when your back starts hurting. 2nd is when you no longer understand slang. Literal death is just a formality at that point

3rd when you think modern music is just ”weird and noisy”

4th is when you first go "I'm sure my neck used to turn further than this."?

If you take a large enough dose of mushrooms you realize with blinding clarity that you are an eternal being and mortality is an illusion.

You'll either learn of your immortality or learn that there's no such thing depending on how brightly coloured the mushrooms are.

Yeah.. maybe the realization that mortality is an illusion, is an illusion. But maybe the illusion of that realization is an illusion...
