If only my TV had a Jellyfin app, I could switch, but alas it doesn’t. Got to use Plex if I want to watch stuff from any home streaming thingy. That said, it’s free to do that, at least.

I just don’t have the money or time to buy an external box and fiddle with it to get it running these days either, otherwise I’d build a modern version of the XBMC server I used to have in days gone by :-(

Everyone and their mums is packin round here

Aren’t Nike kinda known these days for being cheaply made crap that just tries to lure in people who care more about looking cool than having truly functional shoes for sports, etc?

Posers, as the saying goes.

It’s not something I’m into though so maybe I’m a bit wrong!

lol, this was on when I was growing up and I, along with a great many of my peers, were rolling with undiagnosed ADHD, autism, depression, etc, because the teachers and adults around us didn’t know shit about mental health, and didn’t help any of us.

Have we reached the point now for my generation that younger people assume those times were better, where people were magically wiser etc, and where older people have rose tinted glasses and start telling the youth how much more mentally healthy everyone was, etc?

People were people then just like they are now. People had mental health problems then just like they do now. It wasn’t heaven on Earth, it was just a few decades ago, that’s all.

Yeah, as a little kid I hated seeing this on TV, it felt really creepy and disgusting. I still don’t like it :-(

Missing the decades in which they tried persuading, debating, discussing and educating up to this tipping point, this final straw, all to no avail.

Are we supposed to just keep trying forever, pointlessly? Exhaustingly? Every day? For another 30 years?

At some point for our own mental wellbeing it’s time to consider that some people will simply never change, are closed to any and all discussions, and it’s best for ourselves to stop trying over and over, and focus on our own mental health instead.

I was idealistic once, and would have said there’s never a time to stop trying to fix other people, to help them see a different viewpoint, or mortality, etc, but some people just can’t be fixed. All you’re really doing by continuing to try is breaking yourself in the process. Be kind to yourself <3

An absolute national treasure and treasure to his species.

Go watch his early documentary series, they’re fantastic.

Gotta love idiots that cross the road while the rest of us are waiting for the traffic lights to turn red.

No point gambling your life to save an extra 8 seconds. One day they won’t be so lucky. But some people are just stupid.

I saw a place actually do this once in the USA! Or was so strange, I had to ask what they were doing it for.

That’s Drew Scanlon, from back when he was on Giant Bomb live shows. Awesome guy, so strange that he became a meme! xD

Assuming your family had the money to pay for the fancy TV channels that got these shows, otherwise good luck it’s just the 4 regular terrestrial channels and reruns of Thunderbirds and Danger Mouse xD

So true fam, good thing we’ve got the best, most free democracy here in England 👏♥️

“One small step for a man”

I know, I know, it’s not as poetic sounding and not how history most often quotes it, but that’s what he actually said, the “a” just gets a bit lost in his way of speaking and the less than perfect radio downlink.

Once you know the actual quote and think about it, it makes way more sense too haha :-D

Millennials were ABSOLUTELY all about the lols, I can assure you. It was the most widely used acronym everywhere (second being brb, I would wager).

We roflcopter’d and roflmao’d with the best of em! lol

He was god’s gift to women!

In the quote he’s not saying other jobs don’t suck out your soul, just that it’s different.

In a vacuum, not knowing this guy or the rest of his statement, I don’t see anything obviously wrong with that he’s saying.

They take a mental toll on you in different ways, but they all take a mental toll, is what he seems to be saying, and I find that reasonable.

There are people who think trying to make a career as an entertainer (like in streaming) doesn’t take any toll on you at all, and that’s a misunderstanding we should dispell.

Huh, I’ve probably seen it, but I can’t remember ever seeing a bloke pushing a pram here in the UK.

I see loads of women doing so of course, and I must have seen a man doing so at some point, but not often enough to have any recollection of it ever happening. Strange!

I’m sure I’ll take notice the next time I spot it though.

Just gonna block this account, dick move posting very upsetting phobia shit to intentionally trigger and distress people.

AccuWeather posted this meme?
