I thought it was a very accurate portrayal of what would happen if a 12 year old boy actually found out he was a powerful demigod - he’d be an insufferable shit about it and make his father regret ever telling him.

From what I recall the first 8 or 12 episodes were the initial order, and have a much more different tone than the rest of the series - it was a monster hit out of the gate and they retooled it to be a bit lighter.

The first season was so dark. It was all about the desperation of having unfulfilled dreams while living in the stifling reality of a podunk town.

Glee and How I Met Your Mother....two shows that came, went, and have almost been forgotten. Was it because both, once viewed as a whole series, became unbearable to re-watch?

The pilot was so good. It felt fun and sharp, wholly different from what was on TV on the time. I stuck around for a few episodes more, but I just couldn’t. Its writers took the worst part of the episode—the “Don’t Stop Believin’” bit, which only worked in contrast to the rest of it—and made the series about that…

I stopped watching when Sue Sylvester, the woman who once pushed a random student down the stairs out of spite, came out against bullying.

Why are you knocking down Rachel, when she’s This Close to Regionals!

To quote the great Brooklyn Nine-Nine, “Two steps forward and one step back is still one step forward.”

It’s cool. You you should be curious. I was to and so I did my research. Since I did the research I can save you the time.

The company was not responsible for setting the time or length of the walk-out. It was organized and executed entirely by the employees. We are not anti-Riot- we are protesting specific policies and practices to make this the place to work we know it can be.

My Mom is a nurse and hated being forced to be in a union. She’d complain about it constantly. Now that she’s moved to a state without a nursing union she’s realized what she was getting.

Nice to see the comments already filled with people who don’t understand why unions are important or how workplace demos work and are instead already out here speaking nonsense.

To move foward you need to take one step at a time. It’s a process. You don’t win a battle at the first shot. Political organization has two purposes: concretly improving the living standards of people or accumulating forces necessary for larger scale transformation. This will embolden people to participate in future…

Forced arbitration blatantly disregards due process and should be illegal.

And what’s your point, that you’ll only take their complaints seriously if they quit their job in protest? People have bills to pay and food to put on the table. It’s still a pretty damn bold action to publicly protest your employer in front of cameras knowing they could and might retaliate against you down the line…

This sort of thing used to make me irrationally mad, but these days it just makes me sad more than anything. As it has in so many other critical junctions in history, baseball is merely a bellwether of society at large. What is America these days, if not a gaudy strip mall/food court where rich people/companies are…

It’s all built to screw fans, but it has the added benefit of screwing employees, too!

My mother lives in Paisley, and travels via train to see my Aunt in England often now that she is retired.

Brit, living in the states... British rail is awesome. The NHS is great.
