I don’t want to be all Ten Commandments with you, telling you “THOU SHALT NOT” about your decisions, but - and this is just my own experience - it helps to not think about where dating and conversations with your preferred sex are *going*, but rather to focus on having a good time during the early parts and letting…

No problemo; it was kinda therapeutic for me to vent that.

Well, I mean, it’s not as if I’m “cured” or whatever. It’s somewhat OK now, it was worse before, it will probably be worse again, and then it will probably be better again, etc etc. So I’m loath to talk about somebody else’s journey as if it’s the past for me when it absolutely could be the future too. Avoiding that…

Well I certainly hope you’ve seen someone about it! You and I both know “this can’t be normal”, and it isn’t. It’s a problem that needs fixing, and for that, you need, at the very least, an objective outsider’s opinion on how to deal with it. Someone who’ll tell you when your “I need to socially withdraw” time has…

“Fuuuuck you, bitch! I know Bill didn’t qualify that shit”

I dig it

I’m happy for you and yet at the same time I’m very consciously trying not to envy you because everyone has their own journey. It’s a weird mindspace to be in, let me tell ya.

I hear ya. My apologies for assuming! And good luck with your depression - if I could fight it for you, I would. Normally at this point I’d say “that sounds rough” or something similar in order to segue into offering emotional encouragement, but Daredevil Season 3 has got me self-conscious about that, lol!

You’ve never been severely depressed, have you?

I’m sorry, but the press shouldn’t have carte blanche. If a “source” gives a reporter nude photos they hacked from Jennifer Lawrence’s iCloud, they should not be free to publish them just because the hacker was the one that committed the crime. When a journalist publishes something, it should be in the public…

The timeline is:

I think Luke Cage, the character, suffered from being “The Black One” of the overall Defenders-verse and ended up having to be all things to all black people. Misty, unsaddled with this burden, got to be an interesting character whose character arc was coherent and focused on particular and consistent character…

Disney are also in the process of buying a controlling interest in Hulu, though, and that might be used to handle the more adult material as is already being done with Runaways (which is v good btw).

I haven’t bothered watching any of the post-Potter extended universe stuff. Am I understanding you correctly that they hired Farrell and then in the sequel he transformed into Depp for no reason other than Rowling preferred Depp?

Battle Network was a really interesting idea but so much depends on the luck of the draw - literally. You have a deck of cards and you draw new ones periodically in battle and each one lets you use certain attacks but you never know which you’re going to get. It’s fine during regular battles but later in the game…

Punching up doesn’t exist. There are awful people who deserve ridicule, and there are decent people who don’t. Negativity is negativity. If negativity is all you put out, that’s all that’ll come back to you.

This is why people push for diversity in hiring.

Well, you have an awful lot of opinions on how easy something is to do for someone who has none of the actual information on what’s required to do it.

Ghost-types are vastly more likely to spawn after midnight.

Sounds like Baker is channeling his inner Fillion a little here
