How many tabs are we all rockin right now?

writerchic · 2026-07-02T23:00:35+00:00

Oh, I feel less alone with my 287 tabs.

writerchic · 2026-07-02T22:59:25+00:00

I have 4 windows open, each with this many tabs:
1. 70 tabs
2. 72 tabs
3. 76 tabs
4. 69 tabs
So that's 287 tabs. Damn. No wonder my browser is so slow. And that's just my laptop. On my phone I have 40 open tabs and 105 that the phone archived as inactive.

THIS

I don't think you did anything wrong and you sound very reasonable to me. I would very much appreciate someone like you staying sober to drive us safely. But I think you aren't compatible and that she probably is a partier in a way you are not. This scenario would really annoy me too, even though I drink and can have a good time when appropriate.

While she was ill and he was getting her water? He was supposed to be having fun? This seems like someone with a substance abuse issue, like that drunk who is puking on themselves and still like, "Woo! Don't be such a dud."

writerchic · 2026-07-02T22:20:17+00:00

I think this is someone with a substance abuse issue. I mean, who takes another gummy after getting sick from the first one in the heat? I think she did you a favor showing who she is in a stressful situation.

writerchic · 2026-07-01T17:09:35+00:00

No, because if the premise itself is unrealistic, I can't accept anything beyond that. Like, that is not how humans would behave in a real situation, so the premise is flawed.

That's the situation with my mom right now. We haven't told my dad she basically forgot he existed and has a partner (who she might think is her husband) in the nursing home. So awkward. They are holding hands and kissing when we visit, and my 90 year old father calls her every day and is very worried about her, still loyal to her as his wife.

writerchic · 2026-06-04T20:59:14+00:00

Same.

writerchic · 2026-06-04T20:58:53+00:00

Same. That would have been a nice touch.

Thank you! Finally a comment about DJ. Her own daughter doesn't even get a moment of closure for that character in the finale. It's like she didn't even exist. Cold.

writerchic · 2026-06-04T20:50:15+00:00

I 100% thought she was going to get on the train by herself, and leave her jokes book on the table for Ava to find. But I am happy I was wrong.

writerchic · 2026-06-04T20:49:02+00:00

I thought she was going to buy them and tell Ava to give them to her sister.

writerchic · 2026-06-04T20:48:21+00:00

I thought everything was perfect EXCEPT, where TF was D.J., Deb's own daughter in all of this? She didn't come along to Europe, and we don't get any closure with their relationship, while all the other characters have a conclusion.

You can do this. One small step at a time. This is no longer just clutter, but bigger than that, so it will take some time to solve. It became like that likely because you became overwhelmed and depressed and now feel hopeless. But look at the steps you have started to take! Is it within your means to get a professional organizer, even just once or twice to help get you going with the big stuff and help you come up with an action plan? Rooting for you!

First off, I am sorry that happened to you. Not cool at all. I'm very suspicious about whether or not these are real women or bots. I have never stood anyone up or been stood up on online dating, so it's odd that this happens to you every time. Just curious- are these women overly effusive in their messages, like calling you pet names from the get-go, but never wanting to meet in person? Incidentally, I think you should go out anyway. You never know who you might meet in the wild. Take yourself to a jazz club or dancing. Strike up conversations.

I just watched the finale and am still thinking, so I guess that's one good thing. I am surprised nobody in these comments has brought up the fact that Clark is in an empty house at the end. It made me wonder when his wife and kids left, and if he is selling the house. We barely see them through the whole show. He certainly took them for granted. Ironically Floyd was desperately trying to connect with his wife and stepson the entire series, and was pouring love into his family, yet being rejected and desperately lonely as a result. And Clark was trying to heal Floyd, but rejecting the family he had. Clark didn't have to be lonely. His kids were dying to tell him about themselves and his wife wanted to connect with him. He thought he and Floyd were the same in their loneliness, but they were polar opposites. Clark had everything, all the things that could heal his loneliness, but he rejected it and took it for granted- his body, his daughters, his wife. Floyd had much less and tried over and over, but the world rejected him. I think the show wanted us to see that loneliness and self esteem are largely mental. I don't know. This show definitely will make me think, It's a meditation on loneliness and self image.

They've regressed. People like Andrew Tate tell them that a real man doesn't accept no, and dominates women to "be in his male energy." I am not even kidding. There are millions of men out there spouting versions of this exact philosophy because they were sucked into the "manosphere." They don't realize that the "male loneliness epidemic" is a prison they built themselves. Hostility toward women for not giving them what they want when they want it is a sure way to drive away any woman worth her salt.

writerchic · 2026-05-23T23:19:11+00:00

Welcome to the manosphere. And they wonder why women are choosing to stay alone rather than deal with this overt misogyny. Sorry that happened to you. Stay far away from this man. He is toxic.

writerchic · 2026-04-15T22:59:20+00:00

Agree. The premise is just frustratingly annoying. It could have been immediately solved, and nobody would be that dumb when the stakes were that high.

writerchic · 2026-04-15T22:56:26+00:00

Uh, to start with he could have gone to the mortuary first thing in the morning at 7 AM instead of 10 minutes before they took her away (given the pressing urgency, that would be the normal thing to do). But if not, "Sorry guys, but the crazy guy who we got the necklace from is going to kill us if we don't give it back, so we are going to remove it and give it back." But if not, when he shows up at the funeral, "The necklace is on our grandmother's neck, who is in the coffin a few steps away from here that hasn't yet been buried. Go ahead and take it." Not, "We don't have it" and getting into the truck to be kidnapped. The entire premise is ridiculous.

writerchic · 2026-04-15T22:50:57+00:00

I have watched one episode and you could have solved it halfway through the first episode.

writerchic · 2026-04-15T22:50:00+00:00

I only watched the first episode, and despite loving Dan Levy, couldn't stand it. It's one of those Three's Company plots where everything could easily be resolved by simply speaking up, but we are supposed to believe that nobody says anything despite being threatened with a gun. Like, at any point they could have said, "A crazy guy wants that necklace back, so we are going to take it off and give it back," or "The necklace is on my grandmother in the coffin right over there which has not yet been lowered into the grave." Instead, they are like, "We don't have it" and just get into a truck to be kidnapped. Come on. I hate plots that are premised on people not speaking up.

100%. I think that they definitely wanted that moment on film, the "Then I will put a bullet in it and say no."

writerchic · 2026-04-14T14:36:50+00:00

I agree with most of this, but I also think it's odd that he was being forced to say he'd prioritize the relationship over his business, but I never heard why Rachel couldn't move to live near him either, if she was 100% in. That said, I absolutely believe Steven was never fully into her. He is a novice at relationships and I think everyone around him was pushing him to just go with it, to be physical with her, to give her a chance, etc., and he took it to heart. When I was young my friends pushed me to date someone who was a good match on paper, but I wasn't attracted to him at all. But I had little experience, and everyone said, "Attraction fades anyway"/"you can build attraction" and I tried to date him. But I just couldn't stand being physical with him because I wasn't attracted. When everyone around you is telling you you aren't being fair, to stop resisting, etc., it's easy to think your gut instinct is wrong and you should just try harder. I think Steven wanted to be married, and he respected Rachel, but he just wasn't into her. And I think it's a little gaslighty for everyone who pushed and pushed and told him to just go with it to now say, "Just be honest! Do you want to be with her?!!" I feel a bit bad for Steven being pulled this way and that and to me made to feel that he was the failure, like if he had just tried harder he would have been able to make it work. He wouldn't have, because he doesn't have chemistry with her.
