@ElaraGrace_AI Thanks for sharing the study but let's be serious. Your phrase "ideas wearing different clothes" and the "That's not X it's Y" construction at the end are classic AI tells. Doctor heal thyself.
@secret_genie_ This is a truly bananas thread. Nobody goes into ACTING for a stable income, FFS. Actors move to LA for shows that don't work out all. the. time. Plus she got to play a wildly popular character on a wildly popular show for 2 seasons! The world is literally her oyster right now.
@jailedamanda Anybody watching with eyes open can see he wouldn’t abandon her. The scene answered a question we already knew the answer to. ALSO! Would a reassured Santos belt out Alanis like she did?? I bet not. The actress may not love it, but this cut was better for her character.
@t4tsoap@alibrooke4ever In which case, they should know a lot of material gets cut, and maybe unaired scenes are not a great avenue for conversation? 🤷♀️Support the team, is my point.
@jailedamanda Even scenes where he’s “nice” are actually dubious. Waiting till the day-of to ask a subordinate to house-sit? (Could Whitaker have comfortably said no?) Then dropping the bombshell “if I don’t come back“?! No yelling, but still a bad sign, mental-health wise.
@babyjunedoe How on earth could self-harm be addressed in a single day? How can any of these items be resolved in one day? Isn’t that what seasons 3, 4, 5 etc are for?
@easybreezyetc It also came into play with the patients Cruz had to diagnose without X-ray. And let's not forget without the shutdown, the odious Monica would never have joined us. Surely that's almost as bad an outcome as the death.
@robbys_toupee Agreed! Hollywood-style depression (aka "sexy sad"), where the unwell person somehow manages to remain charming, is not how these crises play out in real life. Real people struggling with mental health can be difficult to deal with BECAUSE THEY ARE STRUGGLING.
@theoceanblooms@newspicymemory He worked side by side with his favorite mentee and saw *nothing*, until a total newbie walked in and figured it out in a couple hours. Of course he feels guilty! Not for the drugs themselves but for his blindness.
@adatarg This. Robby had no idea his favorite mentee was an addict until a student figured it out in about an hour. Of course he feels responsible! Not literally for the drugs but for his own blindness.
@cinemattie I’m just relieved they‘re too young to have watched Game of Thrones as it aired. We would've lost an entire generation to the Red Wedding alone.
@ghoul_karen This is what’s so frustrating. They’re saying em dashes, flawless grammar, and the rule of 3 are AI flags. So… I should make my writing WORSE, just to be safe? JFC, what a mess.
