The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Should I watch Fallout, the TV show? Did they do justice to the games, including 1 and 2? Is it palatable to woke-allergics?
I got about halfway thru S1 before getting bored. There's some girl power/male cuck wokeness in there, but from what I saw, there was nothing too egregious. What really got me, which is wokeness-adjacent or -like but not quite on the bullseye, was a scene showing a couple of apparent-stoners whose apparent job is to hold zombies in cages, who had the protagonist captured IIRC, but then through a set of boneheaded decisions, lets everyone loose in a way that causes the freed zombies to come at them and murder them. They were depicted as having been doing this sort of guard duty for some time, yet they had the attitude and competence of a couple of potheads that were hired on as line cooks because no one else was available that day, so either they should've gotten got a long time before the protagonist encountered them, or they should've been competent enough not to make those obvious errors. The whole thing just reeked of "the universe bends around the (female, headstrong, whose primary flaw is being too stubborn in her ambition and sense of justice) protagonist" to me, which, hey, this is a video game adaptation after all, but it's a video game adaptation.
