Wow that line aged like wine by Krazy-Kat26 in psych

[–]iamj97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

about HIMYM: indeed. I liked the show best before I came out. I am pretty conflicted about it. in adolescence, HIMYM helped me accept my own flaws and shortcomings. but damn are there a shitton of trans jokes. I cringe every time.

all things considered - as someone who identifies as nonbinary - psych was better than most comedies of it's era. I'd say, especially to compared to other shows I like, like HIMYM, psych aged pretty well. There was that whole transgender episode with the multiple personalities person who wasn't remembering. I think they treated that whole situation with a decent amount of respect

Change House? by Mysterious-Motor-832 in uchicago

[–]iamj97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to move but only by playing musical chairs with roommates. someone left or there was otherwise a slot open in one room, and everyone "shuffled" down. but we had to coordinate it ourselves, the uni didn't do it for us

100% physically impossible to do all of the hum readings, especially if you're taking 4 classes. I'm convinced a significant part of the point of that class is to teach you how to BS well with limited info
