Would it kill him to be a bit nicer to his staff?

Don was right

employees and co-workers aren't your friends, they are people who are forced to interact with you for their own survival.

Blue polo shirt guy was obviously initiating small talk, Dan could have tried to go along with it. He didn't need to shut him down like that

Ask stupid questions get stupid answers

>>211913311 (OP)
I've never watched an episode of Mad Men, and my only exposure it is threads like these, but was Don Draper on the spectrum? Out of context, he always comes off as a complete sperg.

>>211913535
Not really autistic, just disassociated.

>>211913311 (OP)
>>211913388
Only a fucking retard asks someone what they are doing this weekend on a Tuesday. Ask about what they did okay maybe

>>211913535
Nah just deadpan and depressed

>>211913311 (OP)
Don was go karting that weekend and only had one helmet. He was trying to spare Rizzo the disappointment

>>211913535
no just extremely lonely

>>211913311 (OP)

watching this show right now, the amount of casual sex is insane. were people really this horny before the internet?

>>211913535
he's a severe alcoholic who stole another man's identity during the Korean War and has spent the last 10 years living a double life

>>211914235
wait until you find out about "free love" those boomers on mobility scooters listening to Beatles and other grandpa music, used to have

>>211913535
Autism is a spectrum or something right? He was genuinely so hyperfixated on stuff like drinking and copywriting. And I understand people drank like sailors back then, and a lot of people were successful admen, but he put a lot of meaning into this stuff, definitely way past the regular joe.

People headcanon Peggy as being autistic but I think that's because she has an autistic face.

>>211914321
you shut your whore mouth talking about my wife

This show made me start smoking for fucks sakes, and I have no regrets kek it's fun AF

>>211913311 (OP)
yes. the stuff would see kindness as a weakness and pounce.

>>211914446
I don't smoke but i take these sometimes and its kind of kino

>>211913388
Megan was planning a surprise birthday party for Don that weekend

>>211914446
I get people who start smoking in school due to peer pressure, but as an adult due to some screen slop? what a loser

>>211914509
naaah I like tobacco a lot, the smell, the smoke, aesthetics, everything. 6 years in smoking so far have 0 drawbacks, still workout like crazy and I never cough or have any complications. Only downside is my gf hates the smell so I have to brush my teeth if I want to kiss her, if she's horny af she doesn't care tho heh.

>>211914543
the cancer has metastasized to your brain retard

>>211914532
I actually DIDNT smoke in school when everyone was smoking because I considered it low and cringey, to just go along with everyone acting like adults and "cool kids". I do drink since highschooltho, and I started smoking purely out of aesthetics at first, fell in love with taste and feeling later. It genuinely feels good to be a smoker, I can take 10 minute breaks whenever I want from whatever I want. Very nice mental deload. Also smoking feels GODLY while drunk, bars are fun again.

>>211914565
My family doctor disagrees pussy. I am healthier than you'll ever be.

>>211914565
Why do you think people smoke? It feels good. Nicotine is an addictive substance!

>>211914432
Hey dude I don't have a problem with her, I love her too! I'm just saying *some* people think of her that way.

I love Pegs.

>>211914509
Always wanted to do this what does it do to you

>>211914625
She's the best character in terms of "gurl power". realistic, admirable and respectable.

>>211914589
You and your doctor are fucking retards.

Any other "prestige" tv shows you guys would recommend? Sopranos, Saul, Mad Men, finished it all. I can't really think of anything dramatic that understands it's own message and has great dialogue. I recently finished "The Pitt" and that gave me some good characterization moments but nothing really comes close to Mad Men.

It's retarded to ask about weekend plans on a Tuesday, you're still in the thick of the work week
Weekends are only small talk fodder on late Thursday, Friday and Monday. Why talk about what you're going to do on Saturday on Tuesday, 4 days in advance?

>>211914728
deadwood

>>211913311 (OP)
This was Stan asking a nonsensical question about Don's weekend because he knows Megan is throwing Don a surprise birthday party on Saturday night and he can't resist
But he's a dick generally because he's deeply insecure about his identity, which is the entire point

>>211914728
The wire obviously

>>211914728
The Leftovers, it's shorter than Sopranos and Mad Men but it speedruns the same/similar themes. Lindelof actually delivers just trust the process

>>211913311 (OP)
Why risk it?

>>211914637
I haven't taken it much so not sure. definitely gives you energy and mood lift. i took too much when i first started and it was pretty trippy.

>>211913535
No he's just a cunt

>>211913311 (OP)
He was so nice, he was putting his penis inside one of them.
I don't know how closer you can get.

>>211913311 (OP)
who the fuck asks about the coming weekend on tuesday? this is bizarre behavior and should be discouraged

>>211914432
what the fuck
gimme some of that

>>211914235
They weren’t bombarded with endocrine disruptors, weren’t fat, they were boozing constantly, socializing constantly, at the height of American affluence, flush with money, hormonal birth control was just invented, can you imagine

>>211913311 (OP)
That's what the money's for.

>>211914432
>I will never have sex with a suited-up frustrated Peggy

>>211915458
He’s saying that because Megan just told him they’re throwing a surprise party for Don that weekend

This guy is meant to be attractive?

my boss shares her lunch with me at least once a week, my supervisor is generous, my coworkers are all other white guys, my job would be great except customers

>>211915591
smoking also increases testosterone

>>211913370
Which is why it's easier for everyone involved when you're polite and professional.

And no, being a cunt isn't professional.

>>211914235
People used to wake each day and wonder if the world wasn't going to be ended with a nuclear exchange, of course they were fucking. There was all this communist sexual liberation stuff in the air too.

>>211914235

Watching shows like Mad Men and Entourage makes me wonder how long my employment would last if I started talking to my coworkers in the office the way Don and Ari do.

>>211916458
If you're actually an important and valuable employee you're kinda allowed to be a pretty weird cunt.

So like, not to be a poltard but I get the feeling the director wants to chat about what it's like to be Jewish with the smarter gentiles in the audience?

>Rachel's bit on how she likes the idea of Israel as a safe-haven or abstract concept but can't uproot her life to go there is something I've heard from Jews IRL
>Ginsberg is super neurotic
>Jane marries an old dude for money
>The neighbor/doctor guy near the end of the show seems shy and gets cucked

>>211914927
>The Leftovers
isnt this one akin to lost and other modern mystery slop where the premise is bullshit and nothing gets resolved? 2% of the population? who fucking cares. we supposedly more than doubled since the fucking 70s, so how would that be an impact at all? i mean, i am judging from the outside, not having watched it, but it doesnt sound interesting. make it the other way around where only 2% are still alive and then you got a show.

>>211914543
>6 years in smoking so far have 0 drawbacks, still workout like crazy and I never cough or have any complications
I quit smoking after 10 years and the endurance upgrade when I run, cycle or swim is insane. I'm just never gassed anymore. The only issue with a smoking free life is related to social outings, everyone else is having a smoke, I just look away but it's a struggle. I'm thinking one dart won't kill but it's a downward spiral from there

>>211916658
it's literally written by a jew so yes obviously

>>211917530

you sound like a retard, disregard the recommendation and go watch some marvelslop

>>211913535
No, hes just generally unfriendly and single minded.

>>211914235
No, it's a show written by horney women about what gets them off.
It's like picking up a romantasy book, basically porn for women, and being surprised at all the sex.

Another advertisement same as this shit
Kill yourself Jew

>>211916658
It is a "show" about a bunch of Jews
>>211916945
>everyone else is having a smoke
Stop associating with evil trash

>>211918520
oh, no counter to that? so i'm right in that it leads to nothing and it's faux-drama built on a non-premise of just fucking 2% of the population vanishing? who the fuck gives a shit. typical reddit tier shows treating something so banal like its something special. 60 million people die each year, thats half of the shows premise just dying form natural causes. bu fucking hoo. grow up.

>>211919642
Take your meds, you fucking loser.

you're a horrible fucking loser, yes.
