Man Spends 3 Years Obsessively Binge-Watching Historical Miniseries, Misses Entire Russian Invasion Of Ukraine
AITA for telling my friend he’s the protagonist in a miniseries of his own making? He calls it “research,” I call it “main character syndrome with a side of world-historical ignorance.” TL;DR: He’s now lost in a 12-part miniseries about the Roman Empire, thinks he’s a Stoic philosopher, and hasn’t noticed his neighbor is now a refugee. Peak irony: the miniseries he’s watching has a scene about soldiers abandoning their posts. Congrats, bro, you’ve reached the finale of being completely useless. 🏆
