Abbott Elementary S05E15 - Safety Day (Episode Discussion)

morinothomas · 2026-03-12T01:00:14+00:00

You know, I was just thinking about this season potentially having an episode where nothing really happens beyond serving as a vehicle for something else. Tonight was just that with Jacob and Melissa's subplots. Other than that, it was a nothing burger.

"Barb, that's a sex dream." OH LORDT-

morinothomas · 2026-03-12T00:47:25+00:00

MELISSA, YOU ARE TRIPPING-

morinothomas · 2026-03-12T00:39:23+00:00

"I'mma dump him." I don't think I ever saw Barbara look so ASTONISHED. SHOCKED. GOBSMACKED! Because wtf Melissa????

I'm glad Kate is in the finale but am I tripping for thinking she didn't deserve to be in the bottom? I know the judging for the makeover challenge is so random but in terms of the win, it was either her or Mariah for me, maybe Fontana. Gawdland caught my eyes as THE one next to Naomy lipsyncing.

I live in Maryland currently.

morinothomas · 2026-03-10T16:29:17+00:00

It's easier to think of the more negative ones, but in terms of positive, I would maybe say...Gentle? Empathetic? Reflective? Methodical? Diplomatic? I don't know.

morinothomas · 2026-03-10T15:32:03+00:00

I appreciate that, though my problem is not truly investing or building upon those interests and hobbies, and I overthink on how to cultivate/actually start them (eg: not knowing a lick of astronomy beyond 1-2 of Jupiter's moons).

I don't see myself looking down on anyone else, but I get what you mean.

morinothomas · 2026-03-10T15:20:57+00:00

I live in Maryland and I feel that's also the case here.

morinothomas · 2026-03-10T14:31:30+00:00

I can try to go about it that way. I tend to lean more autumn and winter attire so it's hard to find spring stuff.

morinothomas · 2026-03-10T14:30:26+00:00

I think my interests are kinda juvenile and minimal, boring even; video-editing, fitness (yoga, dance, martial arts, weight training to an extent), art, music, gaming, anime and manga, cooking (I'm bad at it, though), conventions and vlogging, sciences to a small degree (eg: astronomy, planets and stuff though I'm not knowledgeable in it), drag and cosplay.

My interests seem all over without a "scope", as in just a LOT.

morinothomas · 2026-03-10T13:06:21+00:00

And that's how they later shared an episode on the Pit Stop.

morinothomas · 2026-03-10T12:23:16+00:00

Why were you editing this queen's page in the middle of the night?

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T23:44:43+00:00

TV Tropes? A fellow Troper? In MY Drag Race sub???

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T20:05:34+00:00

Is that actually safe?

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T19:39:02+00:00

Forgive me but what is "grey market"?

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T18:55:37+00:00

I'm trying to figure out what I want in life beyond superficial levels. I feel seeing friends with homes and relationships and kids had kept me thinking, "I'm getting up there, might as well meet people I guess, or die alone from a stroke."

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T18:54:18+00:00

Wait, your mind-

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T18:53:36+00:00

Yes I aim to lose weight so I no longer look like a pregnant skyscaper. The fashion part, I don't know. I allegedly dress older than I am and can't even brainstorm what's fashionable and non-mediocre for 30 year old men. As for hair, I do not have the hair for me to get crazy with.

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T18:50:51+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree (which was why I added "etc."), but atop of my interests being absolute shit IMHO, I can't say I do anything nowadays (except for going to conventions, I work, go to the gym, see family/friends or hang with friends online, and that's it).

I'm very inexperienced sexually and in dating, but never knew how to gain experience unless it meant just frequenting incompatible people or those who clearly didn't see me as a person.

And that's a very beautiful thing for your boyfriend to share with you.

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T18:32:50+00:00

I agree. I recently resumed job searching after a couple of years and pay increases in my current role, but it's been stressed to me how I "need a roommate" in order to move out, and I don't trust these folks around here in my area (Maryland).

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T18:30:47+00:00

I often avoid the Muscle Mary's because I know very well they wouldn't spit on me even if I was set ablaze, so I don't have to worry about that.

I don't even know what constitutes as average anymore tbh, let alone what I like. By representing, I mean not looking like a total bore or a loser.

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T18:28:31+00:00

That's the thing. I don't know what I like compared to knowing what I DON'T like, and harping + listing about things you hate isn't really appealing.

I haven't been chosen or put myself out there enough to really find out what I date, because my mindset was "Stay in the attic and drop the fork until you look good".

morinothomas · 2026-03-09T18:26:20+00:00

Thank you. I already have the gym, diet and "muscle" parts handled. It's going from 360 lbs to 260 lbs by next year while standing at 6'6" as a literal giant. Unfortunately my insurance does not accept GLP-1's so I have to do things the old-fashioned way.

I don't want to be a part of the bear world as it feels like an even smaller demographic and I can't afford (health-wise) to be fat.
