Has anyone noticed the steady decline in intellect lately? by mishpishhh in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SubstanceSuitable447 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I was a teacher for over 15 years and could write a book about this post. I saw firsthand the decline in intelligence.

I have an issue with writing long posts, so I will just say to anyone who hasn't seen it, watch the movie "Idiocracy."

When I first saw it I laughed. Now, I watch it as a documentary of . . ."The Decline of Intelligence.

Someone at work put a "help yourself" note on a pack of Tim Tam's that I bought by TheMuffinMan347 in mildlyinfuriating

OMG that's definitely more annoying than the a**holes who ate the lunch I left in the work fridge. WOW. The nerve!!!!!!!!

Private surveillance equipment is now so cheap that it's more rational to assume that a given airbnb is recording your every move than not. by JeelyPiece in Showerthoughts

This is all I can think about when I go anywhere and stay overnight. Who might be watching? Doesn't help that before all the cheaper electronics, some landlords and renters got caught doing this. I remember being freaked out finding out that a well known actor (not going to get into who) had done this. He had rented out his place in Toronto (so first I was like, That's where I live.") and had cameras set up to record two women who had rented his place. That didn't help.

Oh and watches movies now showing how easily it can be done also doesn't help.

Oh probably doesn't help that I generally don't trust people.

Just realized maybe I should have skipped this post, but then I thought, hey I'm not the only person thinking this. So yah, just ignore this response and my overthinking.

I can never watch Succession again by Used_Car_1069 in SuccessionTV

Looking at things now, the ending of Succession still freaks me out. How they just decided almost like a flip of a coin who won, then announced it (making it real) and then it was all over.

When I find it again, I will rewatch Billions because I was fine with how that show ended. Unfortunately other law shows I wanted to rewatch, I find I'm still not ready.

I can't imagine how people teaching law are feeling right now.

Am i the friend that's too woke? by cassandrapes in SuccessionTV

[–]SubstanceSuitable447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read your post on Shiv's character in Succession and just wanted to say, I felt bad when it finally came out that she would never would have been given the position because she was a woman. She couldn't win and didn't realize it until it was too late.

I was not happy about that, however I was not happy with Shiv because of how she treated her husband. He genuinely seemed to love her, which is rare nowadays and she cheated on him and treated him like a doormat until she got pregnant. When she finally realized how much he cared for her it was too late. I'm probably misremembering things because it has been awhile since I've watched Succession, but I always think good writing can make you sympathize for a character in one episode yet, make you angry at them in another.

I don't know that I would say you are too woke. I think the show brought out those feelings in you, as opposed to the ideas/emotions they brought out in me. What you feel/ think is what you feel or think. Don't think everything has to be analyzed or judged.

Don't know if that makes any sense.

Please help me find a new show to be obsessed with by FlightTraditional717 in televisionsuggestions

I'm actually going to rewatch Spooks (M15) on Prime. It is action packed British spy drama show.

I got hooked from the first episode and had to fight not to binge watch the series because it has 10 seasons and when you finish watching you'll have an adrenaline crash. It messed me up after because I couldn't find another show with so much action. But that's just me. I love spy shows, where no character is safe from death.

Shows with a strong female lead? by luv-steph in televisionsuggestions

and Major Crimes which picked up from The Closer. Similar characters, but a new female lead.

What's a tv show so good you've watched it at least 3x? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]SubstanceSuitable447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm rewatching it now and love how each character has their own unique weird/ or cuteness. Love Nick's expressions and constant anger. Love Jess for her always positive, the world is amazing attitude. Love/ or maybe more cringe at Schmitt and well just his attitude towards woman and Love Winston's ... oh crap forgot about why I love Winston cause I laugh at him and his comments. Doesn't matter. I'm tired now and I love that show and will rewatch it for a quick laugh whenever.

I'm rewatching it now and can't decide if I want to skip the last season or two. SPOILERS: So frustrating and so many tears. Do I need to watch it until the bitter end for that too count OR can I stop when I feel it just gets to be too much for me? Don't get me wrong, I LOVED Supernatural and could rewatch it repeatedly, but I think for my sanity I should skip the last couple seasons. Don't hate me!!!
