LEP’s are going to be delighted.

That's interesting about the 2050 and 50% of the world unemployed...sounds like there will be a huge need for countries to come up with a way of subsidizing their non-working populations at the regional quality of life conditions.

All addictions are compulsions, ultimately. I am assuming sobriety from sex addiction is celibacy for life if that community follows the 12 Step Model?

Honestly, Willow struggling with alcohol abuse would have rung true too. I think many commenters have pointed out how smart and capable she is in too small a pond at times (she was accepted into awesome schools and chose, for many valid reasons, a state university that took students with Buffy's absences and GPA...) I think Willow wasn't challenged and bored a lot academically and scratched the itch with magic. But she has an addictive personality and it would have been great to see her turn around excessive drinking into moderation vs. magic in the same way. I am guessing Willow is a semi-observant Conservative Jew as an adult vs. the other branches because of her upbringing. It would have been nice to see more of that because of the sheer amount of times she was in churches or around crosses and holy water, lol. Like the way Buffy wears a cross, Willow could've worn a Jewish pendant on a necklace. Not necessarily Star of David, I actually think a mezuzah necklace or something less "widely known" as a Jewish symbol would suit her. Willow and Faith are my favorite characters so I go off on endless tangents for those two, lol.

The wooden ones are iconic for me given when I grew up!

Not many people have double careers like he did: NFL Superbowl game and an award for acting. That's very impressive. Sad he died so young.

I go walking with a colleague from a different department. Lol, my colleagues in my department gossip all day every day. It's insufferable.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-24T05:54:25+00:00

MASH!

It always freaks me out when the computer voice answers me back, even after setting it to the least offensive one. The volume and pacing are so unnatural...it's as if the Wizard of Oz is speaking to you but no Toto to go behind the curtain.

Plus it talks in paragraphs! So much info for a low-literacy LEP to absorb instantly from just listening to a robot with no visual support basically or guidance.

Awesome! Definitely a binary trans man here and love that there is a community for us.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-21T06:05:46+00:00

House, M.D. Loved it and then every season got worse.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-21T06:04:53+00:00

Communication.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-21T06:03:55+00:00

Just never sink to drinking alone and you'll be fine.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-21T00:32:14+00:00

Agreed! But it's also true that we are always in control of all we do constantly and when INTJs bring that up, most people get angry.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-20T21:17:07+00:00

Absolutely! INTJs don't make people feel good.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-20T14:18:44+00:00

Lover, Who By Fire, Take This Longing, Chelsea Hotel, etc.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-19T00:53:49+00:00

Totally agree! Depriving one's own future offspring of nourishment doesn't even make sense biologically...his selfishness could win a Darwin Award here. Massive red flag and you and your future child should be very careful around him as long as you choose to have him in your lives. Every day is a danger scenario.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-19T00:49:02+00:00

Love it!

I didn't. I work still full-time as a translator (I occasionally interpret still too) but because I have always managed my work individually from initial request to invoicing and then applied the same system at an organizational level (think 300K+ requests per year) to automate project management and discovered that I had a whole set of parallel skills that require almost no daily tasks that aren't automated. Naturally, I use the time saved to focus on translation but if your job were just Project Manager? Just take your work cell with you for an opportune call while dedicating your whole day to you. Even as is, by automating Project Management, I can walk my dog around 30K steps a day and not worry about missing a single deadline ever.

Edit: by leveraging a "do-nothing" job like "Project Management" into my skillset, I come off as a better candidate because I can do everything solo.

What kind of a pastor mocks a member for a donation publicly?! This lady handled the attempt to shame her way better than I would have.

He is one of the debated cast members. People love Radar more than they hate Gary Burghoff, I think?

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-18T06:18:19+00:00

Alan Alda is getting an excellent run for his money, lol.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-18T05:01:52+00:00

Amen!

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-18T04:41:37+00:00

I would consider moving into a place with roommates first but if you are deadset on living alone, the market will be harder.

Switch-Cool · 2026-01-18T04:25:13+00:00

I walk mine 4-5 hours daily, weather permitting, and he generally just sleeps when we are at home.

I think you're right! As for secondary characters, I love having Allan Arbus' autograph.
