This is just so inaccurate. Sometimes it's 90's reboots and remakes with talking animals, too.

I loved my old smart block until they released a firmware update that bricked it.

Any pretty much any physical job comes with copious risks to your body and health, yet these types of employers typically don't pay for employee health plans nor do they pay enough for employees to comfortably afford their own. Why would anybody want to risk severing a finger, breaking a leg, getting bitten by a dangerous snake, a nail to the hand, etc if they don't have to, especially knowing they can't afford the treatment and it could lead to lifelong pain and disability?

Well, hopefully those wealthy millennials will enjoy their distractions, homes, and retirement while the rest of us are dropped into the industrial grinders they use to reclaim the nutrients from our bodies.

That's the general consensus in my social circle as well. It's not fooling anybody, but we appreciate it for what it is. Fishham with shellfish flavoring.

So, the immigrants are criminals if they are not authorized to be in the country. But the people unlawfully employing them aren't criminals? I'm confused about what he's saying, but then again, I'm also 100% he's confused about what he's saying so you can't really blame me, right?

if you take a digital photo of the [ ... thing ... ] and post it on the internet as a terribly compressed jpg

That sums up the entirety of the content on a number of popular subs on the R-word site.

Confusing perspective? No. More like confusing JPEG artifacts.

I appreciate the warning, it lets me know I made the right choice to stop watching. Perhaps, when the series is concluded and I can be confident that there's at least some resolution to be had, I'll feel more confident and return to finish watching.

This is only tangentially related, but it touches on why I barely trust new shows anymore.

I kept hearing praise for a show called Severance (not on Netflix, though) and it sounded like it was something I'd like. Still I resisted the urge to watch it. It wasn't until several fucking years later, they released a second season.

So, after the second season came out, I figured I'd give it a go. The firs season left me irritated because the season finale resolved almost nothing, left everything open. I'm pissed just knowing how betrayed I'd have felt if I had watched the show when the first season came out and then just got left hanging for years.

Then I watched the first episode of the second season, which fortunately provided some answers, and decided, fuck everybody involved with this project. I'm not getting invested because the potential for them to do another non-answer cliffhanger and just leave fans/viewers without any type of closure is just too much.

But back on topic, yes, I agree, Netflix quite often takes too long to release follow-up seasons on a lot of shows I watched and liked. I know some of it is outside of their control, but it seems to happen quite a bit to the point where I do wonder how much of it is actually out of their control.

To err is human, to go get is feline.

That's life for me in the south (USA). Some people are willfully ignorant and yet also so unintentionally naive.

Unfortunately it's not really safe for my partner and I to be totally 100% out to everybody in all situations all the time. So, if we don't know you well or we know you well enough to know you're personally running the rumor mill because you're a nosy little bitch named Penny, then you haven't earned the right to know our truth.

So, if you ask if we're friends or roommates or if he's your son or any of a million other options besides are you two in a relationship, then the answer is going to be yes, sure, kind of, whatever.
