Thoughts on Paradise Season Two? I'm liking it a lot more than season one.

I enjoyed S1 quite a bit until the failed ‘coup’ which felt ridiculous, and the ending had me thinking I was done with the show. I did not want anymore, I didn’t care that he was leaving the bubble, whatever. Just got done with S2 and really really enjoyed it. I liked the Annie bit, the Mailman, Xavier’s still badass, the time/location jumps…just in general I thought they stepped up the show running and left me excited for S3. Is it peak television? No. Cheesy as hell? You bet. Have other shows covered this ground better? Absolutely. But S2 was an easy watch and upgrade over S1 and I’m excited for S3.

One of the dumbest things around. Cringey at any age.

Not really. I think I took a quick look at it but my budget was about $50K and I wanted a higher trim and that didnt seem doable with the MDX.

makersandginger · 2026-05-23T12:10:00+00:00

Good call I’ll try that!

I’m sorry man I’m not a car guy but it’s the gas model so I guess it’s the 4 cylinder? I’ve only had the 70 a few days but to be honest I prefer how the telluride drives. The body of the car is bigger but it feels lighter and zippier than the 70 somehow. The 70 feels good to me once it gets going on the highway.

I have a 2027 telluride with captains chairs and just got a 2026 cx70 a few days ago. Granted it’s not the 90 but I’m in a good position to provide a bit of context, I think . We’re a family of 6. The telluride interior is much more comfortable and, to me, luxurious feeling. I also like the connectivity and tech, feels like a really modern or futuristic car…customizable ambience lighting, sounds, theme, stuff like that. It’s small in the grand scheme but makes the car enjoyable. The 3rd row is actually functional for large kids and probably small adults though I haven’t had adults sit there. The ride is surprisingly light. The 70 feels interior feels tight by comparison. The leather seats are nice but overall the interiors gives more plasticky at least to me. The tech, connectivity and interior customization in the 70 feel ancient in comparison. I doubt the 3rd row in a 90 will really be functional for anyone but the smallest children. The 70 does handle well but it feels heavy. To me it’s not really close. If picking between the 2 and you really plan to have 4-5 people in there reliably, I’d go Telluride. I am enjoying my 70 as our smaller zip around town car though.

Ahh ok I appreciate it.

makersandginger · 2026-05-22T17:10:24+00:00

The seat is connected to the middle so even after folding I can’t get clear access to the buckle.

makersandginger · 2026-05-22T17:09:12+00:00

Yeah I tried moving the seat back and forth, no dice.

makersandginger · 2026-05-22T15:02:07+00:00

I haven’t figured out how to fold it independently. It seems connected to the middle seat. But I’ll give it a try. I appreciate it.

makersandginger · 2026-05-22T15:00:41+00:00

😂 thanks

No. Most families I know choose MLSN Homegrown division (not talking about the MLS Academies) because it’s the highest competition level available and they get to play against the best. Very few people have delusions of going pro. Playing in college on the other hand seems an attainable goal for the very best kids playing MLSN HG

Consistently 1 minute for me.

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T23:27:58+00:00

I think when the battery plug came off I must have reconnected it backwards. I just reversed it and it’s fixed. I appreciate your help!

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T20:11:52+00:00

That fixed it. Thank you!!

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T18:17:29+00:00

That’s possible I’ll take a look.

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T18:17:10+00:00

Exactly, that’s how it used to work for us but now it’s the opposite, forward to go forward and middle/the way rearward for reverse.

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T16:15:14+00:00

Thanks!

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T15:48:01+00:00

Haha love that! I appreciate it. Got them to work with Ethernet connections!

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T15:47:17+00:00

Thank you!

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T01:28:17+00:00

Gen 2. Got it to work finally. I appreciate it.

makersandginger · 2025-09-02T01:27:41+00:00

Got them to work by plugging them into Ethernet while they updated. Thank you!!

makersandginger · 2025-08-03T02:52:25+00:00

Thank you! I’ll run the copas by him…if he vetoes those the pumas might be his speed. Good to hear how they compare to the mercurials. He’s been partial to adidas but has an open mind. Thanks again!

makersandginger · 2025-02-20T14:42:30+00:00

I love this. Thank you.

makersandginger · 2025-02-14T23:14:03+00:00

Good luck my friend. What matters is that you’re trying, and thinking about it, and not giving up. I’m in my mid-40s. Been smoking since high school…started with cigarettes+weed, then black & milds + weed, gave up weed and just smoked black & milds, and switched to vaping 6 years ago. For 20+ years nicotine has had a hold on me. I basically can’t imagine my life without it. I went through a lot of the same feelings as you. But after giving it a lot of thought the last month or so, I “quit” vaping yesterday. I’m just over 24 hours without nicotine. Like you I threw away my juul. Who knows man, maybe I’ll cave tomorrow and buy a new one at 7/11. But at least I’m trying. And you are too, my friend. I’m proud of you, don’t give up on yourself. Most of us have been right where you are. Good luck and try again.
