A refugee community for r/TheGoodPlace
Rules are generally the same as on the sub, except you don’t have to worry about flairs or spoiler flags since it doesn’t look like Lemmy supports that on posts.
There is a comment spoiler tag, though—it looks like an exclamation point with a triangle around it—so you can use that to hide major spoilers if you like. Use your discretion. Spoiler tagging isn’t required, but it is a nice thing to do.
Beyond that, just make sure your posts are about The Good Place and that you try to be good to each other. It’s better than not trying.
Bless you, you sound young.
In the end I don't understand why the only change they made in the Good Place is adding a death door
You will as you get older. All of your suggestions sound terrible to me as ideas for the afterlife, but twenty years ago probably wouldn’t have.
Not everything hast to be gamified.
I'm 26 and if there's no death door in my Afterlife, I'll spend the next hundred thousand years inventing it. When I'm done, I'm done.
I'd be through that door before they're even done with the speech.
U lawats thought that the best solution was to allow people to slowly forget over time, just like in real life. This way you keep on doing things, keep in having fun forever and you'll never get "I done everything" because at the end when you have done everything, you'd have forgotten most of what you did before.
Excellent shirtpost. I am physically revulsed. (Are there tags on Lemmy? You should probably tag this. I know the joke is better if you don't, but people clearly don't get it.)
Seriously though, while maximising good in the world is obviously a good thing for humans, the Afterlife runs on balance over virtue: half the beings there are literally evil incarnate, and they need human suffering to survive. We all think it's sad when a seal gets eaten by a polar bear, but if no seals get eaten, the bear dies. It seems cruel, and it is, but it's also utterly irrelevant: everyone goes to the Good Place, and their existence there is thousands of times longer than their existence on Earth; so even if they live the most miserable, gruelling lives imaginable, it counts for nothing in the long run.
Also, trying to get points means you can't get points, so the idea is DoA anyway. (Yes, that was in S1 and they changed the system in S4, but it was never stated that they changed the scoring itself.)
