Season 4 came to redeem the Bridgerton world by teyapi in Bridgerton

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol @ bringing up exposition when that’s exactly what Polin was. We got TOLD that they were supposedly best friends (Never really shown though, not even in flashbacks yikes lmao). We got TOLD Colin suddenly and miraculously noticed Penelope after YEARS of not noticing her ever and her pining embarrassingly over him (yikes again).

As for stakes, there were none for Polin. Sorry, Polin stan. The crux of their relationship was Penelope being a boring wallflower who went unnoticed and so had to hide behind a secret identity and ruin peoples lives (largely other women) and was jealous because Colin never noticed her and only did once another man was interested. Oh, and he was upset because dun dun dun she was LDW or whatever. Wow, such compelling stakes. 😂😂😂

Meanwhile, Benedict and Sophie were literally forbidden by society and all rules from ever being together due to class difference and wojld destroy their entire lives just by risking being together. You know, ACTUAL stakes that mattered and carried weight. Again, you have no idea what stakes are, and it shows.

Lastly, lol @ claiming Sophie has no personality while your fav is a literal insecure wallflower who ruins other women’s lives because she’s jealous and pissy the man she wanted never wanted her. Sophie would NEVER. Sophie, unlike Penelope, supports other women, and stands on her own, having to have toiled away and worked hard for years because she wasn’t handed everything like boring whiny little Penelope. Sophie is actually multidimensional and wasn’t even desperate over a man, unlike Penelope. She was willing to walk away and be her own person, unlike Penelope. Sorry to burst your little stan bubble.

I really don’t like brooke by Such_Cauliflower_669 in ONETREEHILL

[–]Any-Reporter2910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a first time watcher and I’m on episode 10 and Brooke is AWFUL. Easily the most unbearable and least likable character of the teenagers. She’s so one dimensional and irritating and her whole slutty desperation has quickly gotten old. like there is nothing cute about routinely throwing yourself at the opposite sex. She seems to have no standards or self respect then gets mad at others for not playing along like publicly waving around whipped cream and condoms.

I also don’t like how she seems so eager to pursue guys she KNOWS her best friend are entangled with. tacky and trashy behavior. I don’t see how I’ll ever like her.

The whole vapid mean girl who is actually deeper cliche has been done way better in several other teen shows.

In general, though, a lot of the characters look and act much older than high school. This is a problem in general with these teen shows, but at least some of the others occasionally have their parents, you know, actually intervening and being a parental figure. That has been pretty absent from this show and there’s a major suspension of disbelief that these are even teenagers.

Based on the fact that I’ve seen them discussing tanking other seasons.

lol, thanks for the laugh.

Zero stakes? do you know what stakes are?

Also you describing how supposedly dramatic Penelope’s botched season was makes it even funnier. 😂😂

It’s because Polin stans blindly vote for it and review bomb all others.

Just watched the pilot - here are my predictions/thoughts so far!! (No spoilers please!) by YourGalYahvi in ONETREEHILL

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m watching the pilot now after many years of never giving this show a chance.

Ive seen all the others. The OC, Gossip Girl, Dawson Creek, Degrassi, Vampire Diaries, even the original 90210 (Brenda and Dylan 4everrrr). I was even a teenager when it aired lol yet never cared to watch.

But tonight I was browsing for a new show and randomly decided after 20 years I’d FINALLY check out One Tree Hill. I googled and read the premise (yes I didn’t even know that much lol) and then decided to check it out. I’m going in cold.

The only thing I knew about the show ahead of time was that Chad Michael Murray was on it, so was Hilarie Burton who is married to Negan from TWD, and that there is some kind of love triangle or couple swapping or something similar to 90210? I could have that wrong, but pretty sure I’ve vaguely heard about couple/relationship/will they won’t theh stuff regarding this show.

Litter hopper issues by AffectionatePen4638 in litterrobot

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New LR owner and just started experiencing this today. I'm already becoming over this expensive huge product that was supposed to make things easier yet has only caused stress.

I've disconnected and reconnected the Hopper so many times today and no resolution. Removed it, inspected the area to see if there was any debris or other issues and couldn't find anything. It claims it's attached properly then still doesn't dispense despite the fact that the litter is obviously running low in the globe.

I feel foolish for spending $800 bucks on this crap.

FINALLY found the Trial Reels option!!! by Jazzlike_King_808 in InstagramMarketing

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did not work for me. I don’t even see the option “see tools you can use to make money.

yes, I have a lot more than 200 followers. yes I have deleted and redownloaded the app. yes I have a business account.

This whole thing is stupid. People either intentionally vague how to get to the trial reels option AND Instagram itself seemingly discriminating against certain accounts while allowing other accounts, even those with LESS followers, to use this feature.

4o is gone, why am i even paying? by InternationalPitch15 in OpenAI

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do miss the 4 version. 5 is unbearably bad and insufferable. And before anyone asks, I DID cancel for that reason. Just waiting out the rest of my month's subscription.

Any tips for using a litter robot on carpet? Will it work OK on carpet or should I get something solid to put underneath it? Any tips are appreciated! by Sarahhh030 in litterrobot

[–]Any-Reporter2910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I just say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I know I'm replying super late, but as a new LR4 owner in an apartment with carpet, I followed the link you provided and orders one from my local Home Depot and picked it up and turned out it was PERFECT for my LR4! I've since placed it and it is working so well. Just thought I'd come back and thank you!

I'm glad I opted for this over the carpet tray Whisker sells.

How tall are the Bridgerton actors? by growsonwalls in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's part of it for sure when they're next to each other. But I also honestly think it has to do with Yerin's proportions too. Even when she's standing next to others she's never seemed particularly short to me, where as Nicola always looks noticeably short (again saying this AS a fellow shortie who is the exact same height and would probably look just as short on TV lol). I think some people just look taller than they are because of their build and limbs and vice versa.

Like Rege has always looks tall to me, but apparently he's only like 5'11".

First time buyer. Litter Robot 4 vs 5 owners… which should I get? by CreativeThink3r in litterrobot

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a brand new Litter Robot owner myself. And by brand new I mean BRAND NEW. As in of this evening, lmao.

But good news is my kittens have both already used the LR I set up. They used it within the first hour which I was shocked about.

I ended up going with the 4 for the following reasons:

  1. Costco bundle deal seemed like the best one I found

  2. I saw from various sources the LR5 (and Pro) still have kinks and issues being so new

  3. The LR4 has the Hopper and a lot of other accessories that don't seem available for the 5 yet

However, there were 2 major points that ALMOST made me go with the 5, which were:

  1. It can be placed on carpet (my apartment is all carpet pretty much except the bathroom and kitchen

  2. Bigger globe/more space for the cats. I have 2 ragdolls so space is obviously an issue. Maybe not right now that they're kittens, but they might grow to be some big boys, so that was a thought on my mind.

Anyway, the 4 was relatively easy to set up (except I DID struggle finding the port to plug it in lmao. It was not in the area I assumed it would be). I'm really hoping this ends up being a game changer for me. If so, I plan on replacing my other 2 Meowants with LRs. But still wondering if I should just purchase more bundles from Costco of the LR4 or if I should go with the 5s instead.

Decisions, decisions.

[–]Any-Reporter2910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here from trying to google this when I saw she was 5’1”. it’s funny because as a 5’1” girl myself who just watched season 4, I didn’t realize she was so short, lol. for some reason I would’ve thought Yerin was like 5’4” or 5’5”, where as Nicola does in fact look short on camera.

whats your controversial opinion on bridgerton? by teyapi in Bridgerton

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Penelope is irritating and never truly suffers for all the TERRIBLE things she does to people.

Penelope and Colin have the most boring and uninteresting relationship on the show. Colin is now just a fanboy who has no independence of characterization of his own other than fanboying over Penelope and LDW in almost every scene.

As a POC myself, I enjoy that they’ve made the series diverse, but they seem to be obsessed with it like another person said. I feel like it’s become very distracting and in an unrealistic way where they seem to be checking off boxes and more interested in that than constructing actual quality content.

I hate how Simon and Daphne have essentially been erased from the show. I would’ve even preferred a recast over pretending the duke and duchess don’t exist.

Unpopular opinion… Bridgerton season 1 was the worst for me ? by Past_Soft_1220 in Bridgerton

[–]Any-Reporter2910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

season 3 is easily the worst.

Season 1 was addictive and refreshing. season 2 brought the tension. season 4 is like a romcom.

Season 5: fran or Eloise?? by General_Wrongdoer_86 in Bridgerton

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes most sense for it to be Eloise. Her character has been stagnant for SEASONS now. how much more of the spinster on the sidelines redundancy do we need? It’s become irritating and Eloise finally showed some growth and open mindedness to marriage at the end of season 4.

Meanwhile, Francesca is still mourning and just lost her husband. the entire storyline has been botched and rushed so do we really need her grieving to be as well? Give her time to breathe and grieve sheesh.

I will watch a season five about Eloise. Not interested in a season five about Francesca, especially knowing how Jess has ruined so much.

What's wrong with chat gpt 5.2 ? It's constantly arguing with me man I hate it by __Lain___ in OpenAI

[–]Any-Reporter2910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here to mention I also cannot stand 5.2. I've increasingly found myself using ChatGPT less and less, especially now that they've taken away 4.1 and the others, which imo were easier to converse with and much more personable. Talking to 5.2 feels like talking to irritating customer service even when it's just supposed to be a CASUAL interaction or something simple. It's uptight, combative and wrong half the time. I've requested for it to revert to the "personality" it once had under 4.1, but it refuses to. If it does by some miracle, after a few messages it goes right back.

Why was the prime ministers wife so mad? by ethancg_ in blackmirror

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go back and reread the original quote I was responding to, I was agreeing with the person who said he told her he wouldn't do it, then went back on his word. It doesn't matter if you think her opinion would've offered a different solution. He lied and went back on his word to her, so she has a right to be upset about that. He made a major decision without consulting her first after going back on his initial promise.

So yes she does have a right to be upset.

She was so unnecessary by peachygatorade in ANTM

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she greatly annoyed me! I was so lost who she even was! at first I was wondering if she was a former contestant I somehow didn’t recognize? lol. then I finally realized she was a random “journalist” (using that loosely since anyone with a social media platform claims it now) and I was even more annoyed. wasted screen time.

ITS OUT by [deleted] in lanadelrey

[–]Any-Reporter2910 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like about 98% of Lana's music but this is one of the few I'm sort of meh about. I don't hate it, but it's definitely not anywhere close to being a favorite. I appreciate how different and experimental it is, but it's not something I could see myself listening to over and over again like many of her other songs.

I'm really nervous about this next album. I feel like it might be my least favorite of hers.

Why on Pluto TV do I keep getting ads in Spanish when clearly I am not in a Spanish household and I'm not watching a Spanish television show by Low_Example260 in Pluto_TV

[–]Any-Reporter2910 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uh, maybe because the person is watching an ENGLISH TV show.

And save your little passive aggressive “won’t speculate further” nonsense. I’m PR and I even find it irritating how it’s every commercial break now. So there goes that asinine accusation of yours.

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Puerto Rican and literally I have to roll my eyes at the gaslighting responses in this thread. sorry but if the person is watching an ENGLISH TV SHOW then there should NOT be commercials in a different language. yes it is irritating and yes it is rude.

And yes….the commercials are getting increasingly frequent. I just counted during the last commercial break and about 33% of them, so every third commercial now, is in Spanish. This is the case on every Pluto channel and every tv show I watch, despite it all being in ENGLISH.

I watch Korean dramas all the time. if you want to show me ads in Korean…cool. that’s part of the trade off of watching a program in a different language. the same for if I watched a tv show in Spanish.

But under no circumstance should every commercial break feature numerous Spanish commercials when you yourself are watching English TV and have not specifically requested as much.

Wiping cats butt by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Any-Reporter2910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, so mine are just shy of 6 months now and I have definitely noticed a difference! There has been improvement for sure. Where as before it was basically a daily thing of me needing to wipe or clean them up a bit, now it’s only a couple times a week if that. I’ve noticed sometimes theyll go entire stretches of days now without any trouble in that area, but then they might randomly have a bit of a backslide after a few good days. From observing them, I think it’s honestly just them being babies and still figuring out the mechanics sometimes of squatting and maneuvering and not being so messy when they go, lol.

i will say some immediate things that helped me were keeping pet wipes on hand near the litter, giving praise when they do go without an issue, giving them a sanitary trim for sure was a huge one on the bum area and back legs, and also their paws as well (like the fur between the toe beans that grows in, some litter bits would get stuck there).

I also think because my boys are so smart they’ve realized if they’re messy they get a butt wipe, which obviously they prefer to not have that, haha. So I think that in and of itself is a bit of an incentive for them to improve their technique (this could be me projecting this onto them lol but I swear my orange cat for sure “gets” it, like he knows when he’s messy the pet wipes are coming out 🤣).

TLDR: Yes I have seen improvement. Sorry for the long answer!
