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.

Truthfully, I want to work. I just don't like having to play the game because the game sucks and I'm terrible at it. Let me just do the work.

When I was watching the news last night, they did the thing where they said something like "COMING UP. Major news tonight involving Dolly Parton. KEEP WATCHING AFTER THE BREAK." and then those bitches went to commercial.

My heart sank because I was worried they were going to report something tragic like a terminal cancer diagnosis. Fortunately, I have access to thousands of news sources instantly so I did in fact not keep watching and instead just looked it up.

Anyway, good for her!

I'm actually surprised it's taken this long to show up in the numbers, but I am fully aware that I'm in a bit of a bubble.

Most people I know got all their big ticket spending done before January, and then hunkered down into saving money mode so that they'd have some cushion for if and when things go bad. Sure, there have been some outliers, but they aren't the norm.

Part of the problem is, even a lot of people who still have their good jobs are cutting way back and trying to put money aside because they simply do not know how much longer they'll have a job. People who once saw themselves as indispensable to their employer and have enjoyed stable careers are no longer so confident in the economy or their job because they've seen what's happened to so many others recently.

It's gay pride for bears. Bears traditionally being older, stockier/larger, and usually hairier than main stream depictions of gay men and male models, but it's actually pretty inclusive and more about male body positivity, brotherhood, and acceptance than fitting any actual physical stereotype.

Yes, but it can only be transmitted purrposely.

Mom: Honey, we have ninja turtles at home you can watch any time you want, we don't need to go see the movie.

You've heard of ennui, but have you met felennui?

Also, if you have pets that go outside, such as a dog you take for walks, you need to check them even if they are on flea and tick prevention. Ticks are more than glad to hitchhike indoors on pets and then later decide to rehome themselves onto a human.
