I'm GenX, of course we don't use subtitles! I guess since they weren't a thing when we were growing up with our four channels, we never came to rely on them, in general.

As a gen x'er who's hearing is shot, I rely on cc.

When the subtitles come on when I’m staying at a hotel or Air BNB….I basically lose my mind until I figure how to turn it off. 


Sorry not sorry.

Sleeping. I’ve been on night shift for over a decade. I work three nights a week and the nights I’m off are a shitshow. Usually go to bed around midnight, up at 4am unable to go back to sleep. I always have to nap in the afternoon to catch up. I’ll take vacation time in the summer and can usually get back on a normal schedule during it. I have no idea what it’s like to sleep through the night anymore. I’ve tried melatonin, Zzzquil, Benadryl, Tylenol PM, even been prescribed Trazadone. Nothing helps. 


Now my night shift situation was a little different because I worked 5 nights a week, but I didnt change my sleep schedule on my regular days off. I only did so if vacation was a week or more.

There may be a problem at these schools with respect to things being said by protesters that are detestable to others.  But that’s nothing new at these places.  I will posit that the only reason anyone cares about this particular instance above any other is because a congresswoman decided she wanted relevancy and set up a so-easy-an-infant-could-do-it “hearing” in order to get on tv and outrage the rest of the choir.



This. And the sheep that ingest right wing media lap it up. The "outrage" is their crack cocaine.

I have little faith this actually happens given it still has to go through the state house. Republicans are already talking about drastically changing it. 



Throw the bums out. It's long overdue anyway.

Just about every day.  Working 8 to 10 hours every night 5/6/7 days a week combined with classes at inconvenient times Mon thru Thurs has done wonders for my sleep schedule. Some days I sleep in shifts and others don't get to bed until mid afternoon.

Pay Disney or Warner to digitally insert my image into a Star Wars or Lord of the Rings movie. Similar to Peter Jackson's cameos in LOTR.


Or buy a Supreme Court justice.

Everyone always has the same answers for these. I have always said that if I ever came into a very large sum of money, the first thing I am doing is hiring someone to write and record my own personal theme song. The second thing will be to hire someone to walk 6-10 feet behind me at all times holding a boom box that plays said theme song.

Trump wasn’t winning shit.  Granted he looks better than this old fool, but he didn’t “win” a thing.


Not true. He won Quaker's heart and is the reason he has about two dozen really crusty socks that he's had to dispose of over the years.

I guess so.  TBH, S5 and S6 drop significantly in quality, but still entertaining. 

But when you do subscribe to Paramount+, also definitely check out 1888 which is one season and excellent.  They also just started 1923, which will probably be 1 season.

S2 of Mayor of Kingstown is starting.  It's extremely dark, probably too much so for a lot of people.  It has some pretty disturbing stuff.  Overall it has a lot of potential, but I'm still a bit on the fence.

1923 has already been renewed for a 2nd season.
