Endgame of #Adulting is learning to be boring.
Being boring is doing the same over and over again. You don't have to remember where you put stuff because you know where you would.
Save time eating out by ordering The Usual.
Pill dispenser is where you ALWAYS put it.
Variety is not your friend.๐
Did I use the bathroom 30 mins ago and sit on the edge of my bed for the last 30 secs?
Or
Did I think about using the bathroom and sit on the edge of my bed for the last 30 mins?
Or
Was I sitting on the edge of my bed for the last 30 mins-asleep, instead of laying down nor using the bathroom?
Don't login when browsing on Amazon to see books at random.
Oh noes! Everyone in #ThePitt joins the #Pluribus hive mind-except Dr. Robby. No blissful peace of mind and no work to distract you from painful thoughts.
OTOH, you have your choice of motorcycles that you can have delivered to you. ๐
Not before Dr. Robby's hoodie. ๐ #ThePitt

Ironically, #CBS has a history of picking late night talk show hosts who are interested going beyond the fluffy, frothy, surface popular trends but go a little deeper, David Letterman, Tom Snyder, Stephen Colbert & this guy, Craig Ferguson:

#Invincible takes a page from #TheXFiles but alternating baddie of the week with their ongoing mytharc war against the Viltrumites.
The one-off episodes are more about character development while the serial episodes are more about plot development.
Sadly, many think one-off eps are mere "filler".
I've been writing fanfic that tweak how I'd prefer a series to have gone or continue instead of just grousing about the official version (eg Alana dragged Michael to a vet, fought through HiHi's goons to escape but later #Mr&MrsSmith got recruited by a splinter philanthropic spy Organization).
I stopped watching that when I started catching things that WERE EXPLAINED IN THE MOVIE--repeatedly.
If you can tell how a story will go and:
-You like the a story then it's "logical".
-You don't like it then it's "predictable".
Most pets don't get old. Most die in their teens or twenties.
Imagine the increased concessions sales!
The rush for ad-free TV has led to the demise of the tv promo of the next episode.
And streaming shows don't like to include promos for the next episode, ostensibly to avoid spoiling it but you could put it at end of credits who'd like to see it.
E) Lack of annoying people.
F) Not having to drive an hour to the nearest theater SEVERAL towns away.
That's basically most streaming shows these days with their season long serial story arcs.
Agreed. I think it's also a feeling of accomplishment. I've completed 3 episodes vs I've completed one third of a movie.
I moved to a small town where most houses have a 2nd tiny mail box explicitly just for the local news paper which I've never seen filled this century.
Physical newspapers ... so 20th. With the new millennium and broadband Internet and broadband cable came online news and cable news and never going back to just the Sun-Times or Trib. I could get news 24 hours a day.

You create two lists:
1) Wake up list of positive accounts
2) Post caffeinated list of serious news accounts.
Then create two new bookmarks, one for the 1st list and two for the 2nd list. You don't have to wait, beg, borrow or plead for TPTB to someday do it but do it yourself right now. ๐ช
I'd be afraid to bring a mug of coffee anywhere near that! ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
So, are we all agreed #DrRobby will end up in a bike crash that the show has been setting up all season and end up at #ThePitt with his life in the hands of the staff he's spent all day ticking off?
"I'm waiting to see J. Michael Straczynski's live #Babylon5 retrospective." #GeekLogic ๐๐
"9-1-1, what's your emergency?"
"Sssb ssssb ssssb."
"Ma'am? Ma'am? Why are you whispering?"
"I'm trying not to wake up my partner and my cat."
"Oh."
But if reversed:
"KATE! GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL! I'M DYING HERE! AND GET THAT STUPID CAT OFF ME! GO ON, GIT!"
Will @coverville.com take a crack at the logical choice or will he go out of the box? I guess there's only one way to find out. ๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ค๐ก
