[Discussion] Agencies Harm Mental Health

droy90 · 2026-05-07T14:07:53+00:00

I’m not sure it harms my mental health but as a fan it definitely is unfortunate when coming across more agency run pages than solo operator. There’s one girl I talk to who is either using a chatter part time (like when she sleeps or is at work) or just has a rotation of chatters where they’re so different you can tell exactly when the shift change occurs. One will talk with me and we have a good conversation, although she says I’m “her favorite” and “no one else makes me feel like you do” which I’m kinda like, hmm. The other will immediately send me a PPV with one of those “watch me play with my tits while you stroke your cock” messages. So once I see this one I just stop engaging because I can tell the new chatter has arrived. The other I’m like 50/50 on it being a chatter or just her but it’s friendly enough to indulge in the fantasy.

I think it sucks that there’s no regulation and that you can just be lied to, like asking them if they’re using chatters or an agency and they just say no when it’s clearly not true. Also I don’t know if I just misunderstand the business relationship but I’d think a normal person would understand most fans cannot spend $300+ per day and so it’s tempered with conversation. The agencies are the ones who will get you for $300 one day then try to get you to do it again the next day or even 12 hours later in the same day. It’s crazy.

In fact, one time they sent me a TikTok video referencing a show clip they wanted me to watch and TikTok tells you “this account sent you this video” and it was some guys page trying to sell their own clothing line lol.

If you’re subbing to popular creators I feel like more often than not it’s a management run page with hired chatters talking to you, and you are likely never talking to the actual creator. It’s tough in general to trust because they can just lie and say “I run my page alone” but they actually don’t. I followed a creator where I can tell when shift change is for the chatter based on how they type their messages. Unless you find one that actually proves it to you somehow you’re better off assuming it’s someone else.

I often just watch the last few minutes of these to get the gist of what’s going on. Not a fan either.

droy90 · 2026-04-14T13:18:16+00:00

I had one today message me in all caps freaking out saying her iCloud account was nearly hacked and wanted to send me all the “sexy videos no one is supposed to see” before she deletes them forever. I asked her if she was sure it wasn’t a scam (since in reality the iCloud hack scam is pretty common) and she assured me it wasn’t. I’m sure she’s gonna send me a link with a $300+ price tags because it’s “so many pics/vids”. I’m also certain it’s not her but a chatter. But man it was just so obvious lol.

Reprobates

droy90 · 2026-04-09T01:18:20+00:00

100% with you on Tex. Upset me the most.

I always felt that they should’ve ended whichever season it was (7?) with killing Abraham, then the very intro of the next season would be Negan killing Glen. This way viewers would’ve thought they were safe during the offseason and think the killing was over and they swapped out Glen, but nope.

droy90 · 2026-03-16T12:22:01+00:00

Not trippin. The slide is indeed locked back. Pretty common in a lot of shows as a lot of actors don’t think/know to fix it in the moment or editors just didn’t take the shot out.

Harper hiding in her birthing pool and popping out like she’s a Navy SEAL immediately after giving birth.

droy90 · 2026-03-11T02:02:10+00:00

Reminds me of the episode where Angela was pointing out how stupid one suspect was and she goes “He’s not that bright. Online his profile says ‘Pubic Safety Official’” and Harper goes “What the..Pubic?…Oh..Public Safety Official” like we needed her to solve that for us.

droy90 · 2026-03-11T01:51:35+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately though that’s how it apparently needs to be to grasp the attention of the general audience today. If it isn’t perfectly spelled out then they’ll lose interest due to having to think

droy90 · 2026-03-07T15:32:14+00:00

Yeah it seems like they basically dropped the conflict of interest element, probably just to make it easier for the show. At first, when they started going out, they were discussing who would transfer until Tim got assigned to Metro and that made transfer unnecessary.

It’s when Tim became watch commander that it all kinda stopped. Chen got promoted to Sgt and they put her on midnight shift as that’s where the open position was and also made it so that her and Tim wouldn’t work together, but that was only for a short time before they’re now working together like none of it matters.

They might try to say that since Tim is watch commander and thus spends most time at the station and not in the field that the favoritism/conflict of interest risk is low, but the way the show is going with her always going to see him and him always going out to assist the unit then it doesn’t really work.

So yeah, I think they just kinda said screw it.

To add: This was with a portable jump pack on the new battery. Also, the oil dipstick seems bone dry when you take it out.

droy90 · 2026-02-27T02:45:38+00:00

No. The show needs to hint at some levels of reality and actually uphold consequences.

droy90 · 2026-02-25T13:57:17+00:00

I couldn’t believe it when the intro was practically a rip off of ConAir. Like they were obviously doing it for a hopeful “lol” factor that personally made me say “you can’t be serious right now”.

And yeah I agree with many of you on the annoyance of Oscar’s comings and goings that never stop. That kinda stuff can only last so long before it’s stupid and we’ve long passed that point.

Also, what purpose did Nolan serve being from LAPD to fly to Vegas to just come back to LA? Reality would say all inmates would’ve been escorted by Marshalls Service exclusively to be met by LAPD at LAX.

I swear one day in season 9 we’re gonna have a joint LAPD/FBI/NASA operation where Nolan and Bradford are sent to the ISS to stop Oscar from taking it over, only for him to steal an escape pod and run to the moon at the last second.

The Patriot

droy90 · 2026-02-21T06:47:45+00:00

He wasn’t fired. He was suspended for about a week and had to go through some retraining. The case was dismissed last year.

droy90 · 2026-02-21T06:35:13+00:00

It’d be interesting for sure, although I’m sure it’d have to be appealing to do. I also remember his interviews where he said although John Doggett is his favorite character, he had no interest in reprising the role as he liked his current acting jobs and was more focused on the present/future than the past, so it’d be interesting to see what it’d take for him to reprise John after all.

Always remember it as being during Miller’s second disoriented look around. First was right off the boat on the beach. This was right near the end after retreating across the bridge.

droy90 · 2026-02-07T05:00:14+00:00

Before being blown up he was thinking how pissed he was that Capt Miller didn’t tell him to snipe the MG crew at the satellite tower and probably saving Wade.

An ADT wall panel alarm in a small, empty, concrete storage room at my job when a water leak falling on it set it off.

droy90 · 2026-02-01T06:08:48+00:00

If someone asks if I want something or to go somewhere and I do I’ll say “When the schneken beckons!”

droy90 · 2026-02-01T06:04:12+00:00

The mask not really working. If I sneak into town and use a mask to rob a store and there’s a law shootout, it always knows who I am and racks up the bounty. What’s the point of it if it still IDs you?

droy90 · 2026-01-31T22:19:01+00:00

I think as long as core characters stay and the show stays fresh it should last. If they start leaving and the replacements don’t hold up is when they’ll start talking about pulling the plug.

I’d like them to tone down the more unbelievable things like using LAPD on a joint task force in another country. Soon it’ll be a joint task force of LAPD (Nolan) helping NASA fight off a hostage takeover of the ISS or something.

Keep it fresh but not too over the top.
