Californication | Hank Insults His Date (S1, E1) | SHOWTIME 

sure pal

lol

there nothing cruel on what he said, she asked him for honesty he gave it to her....

He doesn't need a reason, that's the point of the scene (or one of them) I think.

Didn't he tell her twice she didn't want it? Didn't his 2 friends also warn her. She was ignorant and insistent and folks who are both are given exactly the level of pain that helps them grow into more worthy sdults,,,IMO

Never saw this show. I’ve known several a-holes like him. They all died young and alone. No interest in watching a show that mimics that.

Cope.

Writer was great...go home, honey, sleep it off, tomorrow's another day.

@@JJSeattle That's not the work of a single writer, "zinger fest" is always a group product.... honey.

It's not often you run into them, but there are jaded individuals like Hank out there speaking their mind at the most inopportune times. You love em or hate em.

Never had conflicts in dinner?

Get rid of her. But it didn’t work. She comes crawling back, begging for more.

Females...

We got us a Beta.

Who tf talks like this?

@@victordasilva5255 Ah, the classic “Beta” label-because when in doubt, slap a simplistic, outdated hierarchy onto human behavior, right? It’s always amusing when someone resorts to the Alpha/Beta dichotomy as if it's a scientific measure of someone’s worth or strength. Let’s dissect this a little, shall we? First off, this whole "Alpha vs. Beta" narrative is about as useful as using astrology to predict stock prices. It’s a reductive view of human behavior, born from a misinterpretation of animal studies that have since been debunked even in the animal kingdom. Yet, here we are, still throwing these labels around like they somehow encapsulate someone’s entire identity. Newsflash: human strength-whether emotional, intellectual, or physical-doesn’t boil down to a simplistic ranking system. Now, on to your actual point-or lack thereof. You’re calling someone a "Beta" for expressing discomfort or recognizing insecurity? Interesting. I suppose in your world, real strength is suppressing all emotion, pretending you're invulnerable, and not admitting to any weakness? That’s not strength; that’s a façade. True strength is the ability to recognize vulnerabilities, adapt, and grow from them-not to posture behind macho buzzwords. So if acknowledging and critiquing weakness makes me a “Beta” in your eyes, then I guess I’ll wear that label proudly. Because at the end of the day, I’d rather be someone who thinks critically and evolves than someone clinging to an outdated social script.

@@bexo34 Ah, the “Who tf talks like this?” critique-a timeless classic for dismissing more nuanced or expressive writing. Let’s dig into it, shall we? It’s clear from your response that my choice of words and expressions might have struck you as somewhat unusual. But let’s not rush to judge the style or substance before considering the context. The language I used was deliberately crafted to convey a specific sentiment: the deep discomfort and disapproval towards a particular portrayal of weakness. Such expressions are not meant for casual conversation but rather to evoke a strong reaction and provoke thought. Your reaction suggests a preference for more straightforward, less embellished language. That’s fair, but it’s worth noting that different contexts call for different styles of communication. Just as a thriller might use intense, dramatic language to heighten suspense, or a comedy might rely on wit and understatement, certain discussions may benefit from more expressive and evocative language. So, if my style feels alien to you, it might be an invitation to broaden the scope of your reading or engagement. Not everyone communicates in plain terms, and sometimes, the richness of language serves to deepen the impact of the message. Rather than dismissing a style as “who tf talks like this?” it might be more enriching to explore why different voices and expressions exist and what they aim to achieve. After all, the variety in language is what makes discourse vibrant and multifaceted.

@@humanrightsadvocate it’s either AI, or you just might suck a mean dick. Hope that’s eloquent enough for ya. 😜

I didn't watch the show. I saw parts of a few episodes. He's a drunk, writer, college professor who bangs students.

Same. I didn’t like him as Mulder and I don’t like as whatever he is now.

Damn, I guess he read you too.

Is that why she went crawling back, begging for some Hank meat?
