I missed the word “in” when I first read it and was wondering is the city was much worse than it’s reputation in ways I wasn’t aware of.
When AI images took off like a year or two ago, someone made this image of our favorite architect. I stole it, and when I had the lady watch the show, I showed it to her.
People who haven't seen the show can be confused how TF this relates to architecture. Get rekt lmao go watch the good place it's like second to Breaking Bad on shows I don't regret spending time watching.

Can confirm, I have spent a lot of time in Columbus Ohio.
I mean as true as that is, saying he’s in the bad place doesn’t really matter much considering everyone goes to the bad place in the show
The lead singer of Spinal Tap would totally go to the Good Place, though.
Whoa spoilers!

That wasn't fun at all.
The fun part is imagining him suffering for his crimes.
He never will, but it's still fun to imagine it.
I like to think of Chidi's wave line when I'm feeling down. We're all just riding that wave until we're back to being part of the ocean.
Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.
And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be.
Thanks for that! I need more of the good lines distilled. People miss that there's a ton of legit philosophy in the show (I mean beyond the scenes where Chidi is directly teaching of course). It's not just a side bit to use here and there where it helps the jokes or the narrative or whatever. I really fell in love with that, like not only was the show hilarious and FULL of interesting and likeable characters, they really made it kind of a class in (or "love letter" about?) the strengths/weaknesses/clashes to different approaches to existential philosophy.
And they did it in a way that wasn't ham-fisted, ya know? If you already knew some, you'd pick up on it, if not, maybe you'd pick up a few tidbits here and there but otherwise, just a great show without any of that! That's so hard to do well, idk, I'm just so impressed lol.
I was introduced to Advaita Vedanta through the wave metaphor. Nondualism is a helluva drug, man

This show is one of my favorites, some high level giggles and memorable moments.
How did you make that so fast?
Sith art of Bortling.
The guy who played Pillboi is in everything. And he'll always be Pillboi to me.
Im prerry sure I've heard him in Wendy's commercials voiceovers selling me burgers or somewhere like that and it was just so funny because I can't shake that roll from him either.
I was just chilling, being nothing. And then all of a sudden, I was!
He's my favorite character in lower decks
Yeah, he does a ton of VO work too. But he'll also just pop up all over the place in live action shows and I'll see him and invariably say, "it's Pillboi!"out loud.
Sorry, but the correct thing to say when he pops up in something else is, "Oh dip! Pillboi!"
I hope you rectify your behavior.

How is Pillboi a hacker in Brooklyn all of a sudden?! (Nine nine!)
