Holy shit, I need to rant about this because it’s driving me insane. Lately, it feels like every new show drops a single episode and then forces you to wait months for the rest.

Who actually enjoys this? A whole week for one episode? That’s an eternity in real life. By the time the next episode airs, I could be a completely different person—new job, new hobbies, maybe even a new brain—and suddenly, I don’t even care about the show anymore.
It’s like some 80-year-old corporate exec is sitting in a boardroom, smashing a big red button labeled "FEED THE MASSES" once a week, doling out TV like it’s fucking rations.

Some more reasons why it sucks:

• You forget the plot (and the whole vibe) between episodes.
• If an episode sucks, you just wasted a week of anticipation for nothing.

It’s like walking out of a movie halfway through and coming back seven days later for the rest. Who does that?

How I cope? I

Inspired by movie Conclave 2024 we post here info and leaks, gossip drama and rumors about Cardinals and discuss forerunners and bettings

🏳️‍🌈 Luis Tagle (Philippines): Alberto Melloni, a historian based in Rome, told The Washington Post that Tagle, 67, was once considered to be Francis’ “rising star” while serving as pro-prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization in the Philippines, and Tagle has previously criticized “harsh” and “severe” rhetoric used by clerics to describe the LGTBQ+ community, divorced people and unwed mothers.

🇨🇳 Pietro Parolin (Italy): Parolin, 70, was appointed the Vatican’s Secretary of State by Francis in 2014, and he will likely be seen as a candidate to succeed Francis because of his respect among secular diplomats, including for his negotiations with China and several Middle East countries, according to Vatican analysts. Parolin was involved in reaching an agreement between the Vatican and the Chinese government in 2018, though the Vatican was criticized for “selling out” to China’s communist government.

With the passing of Pope Francis on April 21, the Catholic Church is preparing for a transition that will determine its direction for the foreseeable future. As the first Latin American pope, Francis brought significant change as Bishop of Rome, focusing on social justice, environmental issues and a more inclusive Church.

Now, the College of Cardinals prepares to gather at the Vatican for a conclave that will shape the Church's future. Their choice won't just name the next leader of 1.37 billion Catholics—it will set the course for doctrine, transparency and the Church's outreach to its flock.

Will the next pope continue Francis's progressive reforms, or will the cardinals pivot back toward theological conservatism? The answer will be clear when the symbolic white smoke rises from the Sistine Chapel. Francis's Influence on the Election

The next pope will face a Church shaped by Francis's appointments and reforms. His tenure saw major structural changes, including the decentralizatio

No earthly being could've crafted that thing with such total disregard for comfort and human anatomy. It’s giving Area 51 Home Goods Collection – Model Zeta Reticuli.

I have slept on it once and I felt shitty whole day after. It think it isn’t calibrated for human neuroelectric frequencies but it boosts my WiFi signal so hey.

I have long had a need to have this kind of private hiding place that no one knows about and they can never find me even if they really want.

I have such an old shed thingy where I sometimes go and close myself up for a day and just enjoy being out of everything and anyone’s reach.

Sometimes it’s low key scary because let’s say something happened to me then no one would ever find out but such is life eh.

Such hiding spot is very good for my mental health as whenever pressure gets too high I just disappear.

People may not understand why or why would I do it this way but I don’t try to explain or elaborate. Obviously I pick up the phone and tell them some lie that I am shopping or whatever and will be later or something important showed up thought it would be nice if they didn’t call either.

I can’t explain it fully but since couple of years I have this constant feeling that something big is about to happen that is going to change everything.

It’s a bit like being a WW1 soldier waiting in the trenches for an inevitable attack that doesn’t come.

I have adhd so I know the ‘waiting mode’ and this is sort of similar. Honestly I just want it to happen already so we can get this over with no matter what it is.

There is this atmosphere that no matter what you plan for or what you intend to do will ultimately not matter because of some future big changes.

It’s really annoying and only fully cured temporarily by brain muddying amount of weed or to a lesser extent various absorbing hobbies. Or making many hasty and bold decisions in spirit of “now or never”.

Maddening stuff to be honest. I hope whatever must happen will get on with itself already and rather sooner than later.

The press and politicians have been storytelling the crap out of this.

It was then decided that due to the issues with Starliner, they shouldn't return on that spacecraft. Starliner undocked on September 6th and returned to Earth safely. SpaceX Crew-9 docked on September 29th. Butch and Suni did not have dedicated seats for an emergency return between September 6th and 29th. In the event of an emergency, requiring the evacuation o

From the article:

As a podcaster and freelance journalist, Ole Nymoen admits he enjoys freedom of expression and other democratic rights in his home country of Germany.

But he would not want to die for them.

In a book published this week, ✨Why I Would Never Fight for My Country✨, the 27-year-old argues ordinary people should not be sent into battle on behalf of nation states and their rulers — even to fend off an invasion. Occupation by a foreign power might lead to a “shitty” life, he told the Financial Times. “But I’d rather be occupied than dead.”

Nymoen, a self-described Marxist 🤣, does not claim to be representative of Generation Z in Germany. But his stance — and his striking honesty about it — taps into a wider questions facing Europe as it re-arms on a scale not s

The post:

You all saw the news about a tesla set on fire in Capitol Hill. What is concerning is people condoning this, mostly on the other subreddit. Tesla owners are not the enemy, in fact most of them are on the left. Question for other tesla owners specifically, what do you think? Any precautions you are taking in this current political climate?

General advice

comprehensive insurance, sentry mode, be vigilant, and gap insurance if you are financing your tesla car in current political situation Results from talking with few people on here after spending some time over last few days. Thank you for your time for the banter. Appreciate it

*General consensus: it is ok to damage/vandalize tesla cars, intimidate tesla owners for the greater good. I hope it is not general consensus in real life and just on reddit. sell the car. These people I assume either are
