Lower Decks is too fast paced for my older brain. I tried to get into TAS but I wasn't identifying with the characters well.

But I ADORE Prodigy and am apalled that it got cut while we continue to run Discovery.

I just block everything that isn't in my phone book. I use an app that sends it to voice mail without showing on my screen, so it doesn't disturb me. I can turn it off anytime via the windowshade if I'm expecting a call.

If it's someone who actually has business with me, they'll leave a message, which my voicemail will transcribe and send to me quietly as a text notification. 90% of the time it's a scammer or solicitor I don't care about. Most of the rest are robo appointment reminders.

Do yourself a favor and don't answer any calls you're not expecting. You're just putting yourself on scammers' lists.

3 hours a day of unpaid time just to get ready for work.... we were far overdue for a shift in the system.

Well if the headlines on human rights violations and fraud weren't enough to make you think twice, I doubt my experience today watching a senior man wrestle a huge TV out of his non-air-conditioned Amazon truck by himself for my neighbor would change your mind.

Protect and serve, right?

Over 10. I left for Voat, then it died, then I didn't come back for a long time. Started enjoying it again and now I'm done.

Well the GOP did it on Independence Day so now it's just funny.

Not who you replied to, but I also had no interest due to excellent role models in my family for what NOT to do. I have had 1 alcoholic beverage my entire life, on my 21st birthday, and it was completely lackluster.

They're good for a few years but not forever.

My family too. Arby's and Jack were places we never even considered going.

As an adult I've tried both, and my conclusion is Arby's tries to be Subway and Dairy Queen and does a mediocre job; Jack is like microwaveable gas station snacks.
