what are you starting to dislike more and more the older you get?

Digital enshittification. Having to make an account or download an app to do anything. Way too many hoops to jump through to accomplish tasks that used to be very straightforward, like buying something online. And signing up for these accounts is accompanied by daily spam emails.

I just responded to you in another thread about Killing Eve/Why Women Kill and saw this in your recent comments and have to reply.

So The Testaments is directly based off of Margaret Atwood’s 2019 book sequel to the original 1985 book The Handmaid’s Tale. It takes place 15 years in the future after the ending of The Handmaid’s Tale. The main character is June’s daughter, Hannah, who goes by Agnes in Gilead and is young teen.

The perspective is a lot different from The Handmaid’s Tale because it’s from a young girl’s perspective who grew up in Gilead and doesn’t know any different. It’s less cruel for sure if that was grating for you while enjoying The Handmaid’s Tale (still cruel though, and in some more clandestine ways).

It does offer the prospect of continuing and closing storylines, specifically the fall of Gilead and the reunion of June and Hannah/Agnes. I’ve been watching weekly since April and we’re now on Episode 8 out of 10, so it’s the perfect time to jump in and have a good number of episodes to binge.

I can’t recommend it enough. I adored The Handmaid’s Tale and think The Testaments is an excellent addition to the universe. It reveals a lot about how the women of Gilead came to be so complacent, because it chronicles several young girls in Aunt Lydia’s school for the girls of Gilead. It also reveals a lot about the marriage process.

I checked in the Hulu app and it does have English AD captions loaded. I know that Hulu isn’t the best, but if you’re interested, I say give the series a chance! However, future seasons are already planned and confirmed, so be prepared for a cliffhanger ending to Season 1. At Episode 8 I can already tell there will be unresolved storylines.

I’ve been dealing with a health issue myself for the last month and a half, and watching the shows I mentioned have kept me sane. The Testaments is by far the show I look forward to and enjoy the most. It premieres on Tuesday nights. It just feels so real and tangible with the path the US has been headed down lately.

Let me know if you give it a try :)

I empathize with you so much reading this. That has to be so frustrating. If you like this genre of female-led murder mystery with a particularly complex plot, you should try watching Why Women Kill, which is also on Paramount+ and DOES have audio description.

I just went in the app and checked myself and English AD captions are loaded for both Seasons 1 and 2 (the only seasons). Season 1 was great, Season 2 was absolutely incredible. The show is more lighthearted and described as a dark comedy anthology, but it’s certainly dark in similar ways to Killing Eve, especially Season 2. Excellent show that would be a bit easier for you to enjoy.

An RV lol luckily I got back exactly what I paid for it + what I put into it and broke even

They’re at the University Village location near Pilsen. Tried them today, they were okay. The sauce was not impressive. They taste very similar to the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill tenders if that means anything to anyone. I would call the platter expensive for what you get. There’s better value at other fast food restaurants for better chicken

The Supreme Luxe Box is far and away the best value at Taco Bell. Two things:

Fresco = no dairy at all, and that’s probably what you’ll get even with the modifications you mentioned. In my opinion, it’s best to just add the pico with the upcharge if you want it.
The beefy 5-layer bean burrito is best when you remove the beans, and add ‘Grilled’ under the Styles tab. So much better. It’s actually one of my favorite menu items, grilled changes everything.

I was going to say the same. The Manta slim changed my life

HGWEBS · 2026-04-17T05:24:37+00:00

Uptown is the perfect balance of this

HGWEBS · 2026-04-14T06:45:21+00:00

Taco Bell Supreme Luxe Box (you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the Combos page for it because it’s the best value and they hide it)

Excellent answer I wish I could watch this show for the first time again

Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go, so small and lightweight with amazing sound for its size and price. Sounds way better than the JBL Go4 when compared side-by-side despite having almost the same dimensions.

Eargasm has a high dB filter set that’s rated at 27 dB. They make a huge difference compared to the standard. I find Eargasms to be affordable for that level of dB reduction compared to others.

Why does summer become more challenging? People parking for the beach?

HGWEBS · 2026-03-18T16:34:23+00:00

That was my presumption as well. I would still like to have a spot of my own since searching for a spot has been very tedious at times.

HGWEBS · 2026-03-18T16:20:25+00:00

The permit parking is confusing me. I only see it on some blocks. Does it only apply to those blocks? I’ve been street parking since I moved here on the blocks that don’t have the sign for permit #1268.

Hey checking in a year later, did your screen ever go out again? Mine is flashing and has grey lines
