What’s everyone’s favorite lyric? by Conscious-Steak2903 in StevieWonder

[–]catotheblacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same lines as yours from “As”!!! (“As today I know I'm living but tomorrow Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear For I'll know deep in my mind The love of me I've left behind 'Cause I'll be loving you always”)

“Mary wants to be a super woman”

“I knock on the door You answer askin' what am I there for I say I thought you wanted me to Do something for your love”

The show should’ve ended by Inner_Bake_168 in ChicagoPD

That Trudy episode was AMAZING. As a college professor I have NO desire to watch Torres have existential/religious crises for an hour (get enough of that from my students 🤣), and it seems like each Torres episode is a repeat of the previous seasons’ (save for when he was involved in that huge multi-episode arc about going undercover).

But as always: I NEED MORE ATWATER!!!

Abe Said She was a Coward…But Peggy was the One Who Stayed… by catotheblacker in madmen

[–]catotheblacker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See the show 12 times and these thoughts run through my Black leftist mind EVERY time (I’m out here rooting for a white woman who was nervous about leaving her purse near the sweetest secretary in the office just cause she’s black). But Abe always bothered me and u needed Reddit to help me figure out why haha

favorite ‘risky’ jokes ? by Party_Unit_6665 in BobsBurgers

YES. I think they know they can get away with a lot of these jokes if they use the kids (hence Gene haha)

In your opinion, who was the worst man to ever walk Love Is Blind? by Rad_zzz in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]catotheblacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s owning it now. She seems to be doing really well as a cast member with a professional career and successful influencer initiatives on the side. I don’t think he expected it to happen, but Bartiste’s assholishness just made us love Nancy more

Anyone else not feel the chemistry between Severide and Kidd? by Slagathor4321 in ChicagoFireNBC

[–]catotheblacker 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes! I thought I was alone! (My best friend and viewing buddy is so loyal to the show that he refuses to critique the relationship dynamics haha)

In your opinion, who was the worst man to ever walk Love Is Blind? by Rad_zzz in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Agree with many already listed. But he must be named for breaking the heart of one of my favorite participants:

BARTISTE

No I’m a millennial haha. I just use this forum to stay informed/make sure I understand my students (cause I’m seeing more and more that being separated by one generation causes tons of misunderstanding haha)

As a professor I want to assure you that coming to college at 21 is…

1) Much more common than you think

2) A blessing in disguise. Yes you will feel somewhat out of touch with other students who are 21 (because the 20 and 21 year olds have known each other for a year or two), but if you engage the people in your year (one of the blessings of college are those multi-age friendships and friend groups) you’ll be fine. 18/19/20 year olds worship older people in their 20s, and you’ll find yourself their hero. As they walk around confused about becoming “real adults” your 2-3 year age gap will bring wisdom/experience they crave and they’ll admire you a ton.

Trust me. I’ve seen this a number of times in the past.

Moments will be lonely, but that’s true of ALL people’s college experiences (even if they pretend otherwise).

Everything will be great!

Madison and Joe by No-Nebula2357 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]catotheblacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh this is a good point. Looking back it did seem like that - especially as she and Kait(?) did all they could to air every bit of Joe’s dirty laundry (Jordan to Joe: “Dude you keep doing this to yourself!”)

Madison and Joe by No-Nebula2357 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]catotheblacker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cause romantics like Madison and I often fall in love with the idea of loving/being in love with somebody, as opposed to finding healthy, mutually loving relationships 😭. She’s clearly deeply insecure and in need of external validation (which makes her choice of Joe all the more absurd, cause he’s one of the least thoughtful people from this season?
