We also have control of what we want to watch and when, and can cancel and move between services.
My parents used to spend £35 a month for 300 channels of which they would only watch one or two of, and they had no control of when they could watch what they wanted unless they paid extra for the ability to record shows.
I moved them over to a broadband only deal and they hop between streaming service subs now. It saves them a good amount of money each month and they can watch what they want when they want.
Streaming services are far from perfect, but they are ad free (if you pay for it) and give you greater control.
Honestly I thought the finale was good. Great? No.
Thinking back on the show I remember it positively. I don't think I'll ever be massively eager to rewatch it ever again, but if someone asked me if they should watch it I would say sure give it a go.
It wasn't a catastrophic ending like Game of Thrones was. That is a show I wouldn't even bother to sit down and watch knowing how it ended.
Many years ago when I was on a trip to America I visited Brick Lane Curry House to do the Phaal challenge. It was described as excruciatingly hot. I've had a Phaal in the UK, and suffered through it.
They brought the dish out and it was no hotter than a UK vindaloo. I was quite disappointed when they gave me the Phaal curry monster certificate, I'd genuinely hoped for a challenge.
So I've seen in a previous job where someone was complaining that a guy was leaving at 4pm to get his kid and how it was unfair just because he had a child.
What that person bitching and moaning didn't see was that the parent was getting into work MUCH earlier than him, and would regularly log back on when getting home.
Sure there are some parents who take the piss, but there are also plenty of parents that put the hours in and more, they just need a little flexibility because childcare and the associated costs are a fucking joke and society isn't set up to enable single income families.
Lie to yourself for a bit, I suspect it's like muscle, the more you do it the better you get at it. That's kind of what positive affirmations are, you keep telling yourself certain things (within reason..) and it is supposed to steer your subconscious.
When the game was first coming out I just knew it was over-hyped and wouldn't live up to people's expectations. I avoided it and had so many friends tell me I was wrong. It had the launch that it had and I was smug that my gut feeling was right.
Years later I was bored looking for something to play and saw it had a number of updates and I was able to buy a copy for £8. I thought why not, dirt cheap and could waste a few hours.
I was hooked.
I love to see the passion of Hello Games in making this game what they envisioned it to be and more. I have got so much out of the game yet looking back I paid so little, if they were to release a paid expansion I would gladly pay it to support them. I will be eagerly awaiting Light no Fire.
Everyone usually recommends Mistborn as the entry point. I personally started with the Stormlight Archive (The Way of Kings).
His writing generally gets better with each book, after going from The Stormlight Archive (all the way up to Rhythms of War) and then going over to Mistborn, I noticed a bit of a difference in his writing.
If I were to start all over again, I would go with Mistborn. I thought this flow chart someone made on Reddit to be pretty good.
Reading through the third book right now, and either missed or completely forgot the suggestion to try not to follow it, but glad I saw this message because I am often getting confused as to where people are. Still having a blast though! Well written books? Maybe not, but they are very fun.
So far DCC is giving me a nice break from the Cosmere and Sanderson's in depth world building.
Quite a lot of people thought Elon was a decent guy once upon a time.
I just think Gabe is a bit smarter in what he says and does publicly. Most extremely wealthy people seem to be higher in measures of narcissistic traits, self-entitlement, and egocentrism.
This reminds me of one night where a group of friends went out drinking. Just before we were going to leave the pub to go to one further down the road one friend said he needed to take a piss. It triggered something in a bunch of us as most of us realised we needed to go.
The toilets were really busy; that situation where you're pissing in what is basically a trough with your elbows touching the elbows of other guys next to you. Immediately on trying to go it just wasn't happening. I stood awkwardly for about a minute, zipped up, washed my hands and went outside.
Everyone gathered round and we started walking. We were walking in silence for about a minute when one guy said "Did anyone else manage to actually pee?" To which loads of us burst out laughing. Turns out we all did the same thing, even though we needed to pee, we all failed to do so.
Trim the pubes, no need to go completely smooth. If you go completely smooth it is itchy when it grows back, plus you'll notice it a LOT more when it gets sweaty. I guess it could be the same for chest hair?

I've noticed they also don't seem to use the stupid fucking subtitles that move left and right on the screen like Netflix.
I want my subtitles centralised.
This is my hole
There needs to be a rating system.
Tried to run Expedition 33 on it and although performance seemed ok, it looked a right mess.

Even if you do have a kid it switches from "when are you having kids" to "when are you having another one?"

Let's hop on this nostalgia train! Choo choo
Waste of money; as if there is going to be any form of introspection from Musk.

That was a human rep? Read like an AI chatbot to me.

I've not seen the movie, but I'm pretty sure it's Obsession.

I've not had them in a few years since they got expensive, but I used to enjoy Prestat chocolates.
