Apologies - didn’t notice the date when you posted. This article came up on the front page and I just assumed it was brand new. Your points all make sense.

They’re burning down the banana stand as we speak.

Does Netflix need money to keep it around? There’s always money in the banana stand.

and on top of that has the initial down payment increased as well? I think most are around 3-4K$ down.

People arent leasing right now because the manufacturers have completely stopped subventing lease rates and residuals.

The way my mom talked about it is that like if you don’t stretch your stomach back out in the early months your prety much good.  I mean can I gain it all back sure, but it would take a lot of work on my part to do so.  And no it’s NOT cheap especially when insurance doesn’t cover it, mine didn’t, so it was $18k out…

White Noise made those points well before Lisa Simpson.

But everyone assured me we were getting a black, trans, autistic, quadriplegic Bond.

It’s funny I recently lost a signifcant amount of weight, like around 200 lbs, via surgery so you know on purpose, and I am with you like it’s tiring to have people constantly talk about how much weight I lost.  Like did I need to drop the weight 100% and I glad I did sure, but being reminded about it ALL the time is…

That happened to a co-worker of mine about eight years ago. Viral infection, nearly died, spent two months in a coma, lost a scary - and I mean terrifying - amount of weight. He’s still struggling with the after-effects. Day he came back to work one of our less-stellar managers sashays up to him and trills “whatever…

I lost 75 lbs. due to a severe illness a couple of years ago, and the number of people who insisted on telling me ‘how good I looked’ made me want to knock heads together.

I would ask them to stop, and they would just repeat it! I pointed out that I nearly died, and all they could say was to repeat how good I looked!

Peo…

Also, full stop, any fantasy story that ends with “we need to get rid of our wondrous magical abilities because they are bad and could corrupt us. Guess we should all become dentists or some shit” can fart in a phone booth.

Actively angry to see Locke and Key here, and so high.

Let’s review what happens in the Locke and Key finale: A man runs over an indestructible demon with his car, to help the protagonists escape. They ride off on a motorcycle.

“‘90s, people our age had the spare time to sit down and engage with a TV show”

I still can’t believe Police Squad! bombed. I’m not old enough to remember when it was on, but the Naked Gun movies were utterly hysterical at the time and still have their moments. I guess it was before its time, audience-wise.

Anyone else think it would be weird to be on a plane, see Ted Danson sitting there, and notice that he’s watching...Cheers?  

Twin Peaks ten years before the dawn of what we consider “prestige TV.”

A third of Twin Peaks was straight up bad, 30 Rock had several mediocre seasons, and I’ve never seen Six Feet Under, but I rarely see people mention it in lists of great shows anymore. Which is to say, “prestige TV” was always far from perfect. Except The Sopranos. That was one of the best shows ever made, so, of…
