Unfortunately, I agree. The tipping point for me was the humour. I don’t like it and I don’t want it. It’s funny how I could be tolerant of cliche in many other types of entertainment, but cliche comedy very quickly turns me off.

That and the resurrection of ancient characters. It’s fan service (I learned this term watching reviews of SNW/picard and learned to hate it) and adds very little to the show. I’m much less interested in the interpersonal dramas, I want to see more (any) space communism and aspirational utopia progaganda.

I used to live in an apartment complex that was circular, and had a courtyard in the middle of the circle. The mandatory renter’s maintenance payments contributed towards a man with a leaf blower visiting weekly, around this time of year. They’d spend at least an hour each time, blowing what few leaves were there, with all the noise being amplified by an impromptu soundhole. Idiot boys with their idiot toys.

In 5 years, there needs to be a brave sitcom made about a person just going around and experiencing “normal” things. Set in 2007, “Normal Things” will be the parody that catches the zeitgeist in a way that previous attempts failed.

Instead of being a serious documentary, it will be a serious comedy.

No laugh track, wisecracks or gags.

The sheer absurdity of it will be divisive, many will simply not get it.

But it will be a bold statement on the reality of daily life, winning a Tony for its stage interpretation, and the lead actor becoming a meme in the format of the new little stickers (that move!) smartphone chat apps let you attach in response to messages.

Thanks for listening to my elevator pitch.

It’s like that saying, “a watched pot never boils”. Things only happen when you’re not watching an internet.

From personal experience, I can only advise that you avoid school teaching as much as possible. It’s a horrible, thankless job that puts you in numerous no-win situations. I’ll spare you the full length report, but speak to a number of teachers and you’ll hear plenty of sorry stories. Speak to any ‘good’ teacher and they’ll tell you how much it sucks to care about the job and be powerless to do it well.

He means, he’d like to meet them to ask if they’d like to buy a failing ad-space platform.

Idk if they really like the taste of mice, as much as they like how mice jiggle and run.

Cat would chase a mouse, but eagerly slurp down a bowl or rot-stench gravy meat.
