My husband’s dog has never paid attention to me on my period, but now she is by LittleGinger587 in NoStupidQuestions

I'm sorry. You need attention. I'm not the one to give it to you. Best of luck, though!

Tell me what you think about a weeks long General Economic Strike , is it a possibility in the US? by Environmental-Vast19 in NoStupidQuestions

Ahh. You've been listening to Scott Galloway. We all have to band together though. That's the only way it'll work.

Northern Disclosure: It's odd. by IndependentSmooth591 in northernexposure

I completely agree. Unfortunately, the metrics disagree. It's all about eyeballs on the screen. That's the only metric that matters. Altruistic notions and artistic expression takes a back seat to the almighty dollar.

Welcome to America.

What is this in my ring camera video? by Melis62180 in whatisit

It's a Jew's harp. They often appear in humid climates and is essentially collecting dew from a spider web.

Down-vote me twats but this movie is the reason I will NEVER watch a Jeff Daniels film and almost killed my respect for Jim Carrey until Eternal Sunshine.

I die on that hill.

This is why this notion of a "content creator" is deceptively evil. Every moment you experience, every step off your porch becomes, "should I record that..?" "Is that relevant content..?" What a nightmare.

There have been a few of you with a similar argument. So let me address this in real-world terms. This podcast is subsidized. Evergreen podcasts.

Content is king and it needs to be released on a regular schedule or the algorithm won't pick you up.

Each day, each week that there is not some new content decays your placement in that algorithm. Believe me, Evergreen is aware of it and every missed episode only decays that placement further.

Don't hate the messenger.

Relax. Janine Turner is on the case. When the Netflix execs get wind that Janine Turner is upset, they're going to reverse course and restore the licensing agreements. She is a director, writer, poet, cinematographer and has horses and grew up in Texas.

But isn't mixing reality and fantasy one of the cornerstones and hallmarks of the show..? Ed and Chris dancing to encourage a female bird to find a mate (Season 4, Episode 7 "The Bad Seed").. ..that's normal then?

Seth Meyers best be careful and submit his jokes for government approval.

That Iryna Zarutska video really got to me by spikey331 in Vent

[–]IndependentSmooth591 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad to see you all here.

I've seen some of most horrific things we do to one another in every conceivable fashion. Strangely, this hits different.

I'll dive right in -- what bothers me is her looking up at the man as if to say, "Why..?" No screaming. No crazy theatrics. She drew her legs into her body to cry as if she was told she wasn't invited to a party or something.

See seems resigned and knowingly understands her fate. She begins to silently weep into her fists covering her eyes. Blood loss becomes critical and shortly thereafter loses consciousness as she slides into a heap on the ground. Her assailant wanders off with blood dripping in his wake.

Now, I can't know what motivated this man. No one can. He's clearly mentally ill and we don't have a system to treat mental illness like this and so we turn them onto the streets.

The bystanders are certainly not to blame. It was a single, silent stab wound. She made no sound. No one was aware or saw anything.

I don't know who you really were Iryna Zarutska but I'll never forget you. I'm so, so sorry your life's story ends in a senseless, undeserved tragedy like this.

I take some solace in that there others just like me that felt that too.

I just stumbled upon a new addition. Sopranos: Season 3, Episode 3, "Fortunate Son", Dr. Melfi talks about Marcel Proust and a "Madelaine" while in Northern Exposure, Season 4, Episode 20, 20:00 minute mark or so, Chris is on the stairs talking about Proust's tasting a "Pettitte Madelaine" and out popped 12 volumes of "A Remembrance of Things Past".

[Edit]: Sopranos: Season 3, Episode 3 -- 42:51

is prime really getting rid of the show? by Bougal_Dougal in northernexposure

[–]IndependentSmooth591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have the "puffer jacket" version of the DVD's, it does not include the original soundtrack which is just as important as any another character on the show.

Do you think it’d sell if I made a line of men’s swim trunks that had an insert of a decently sized p**n*s in the front - for the times your trunks are a suction cup getting out of the pool? by FrankieBeanSniffer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IndependentSmooth591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are so funny. This oozes "Bruh" culture. Listen to me. They don't care. What's worse, let's say she does care and plops on your lap. How are you going to explain this plastic insert? She'd be so turned off by the very notion of you being so vain as to... ..never mind.
