In the words of Jim Gaffigan: You know what I liked about the movie? It took me two hours, then I took a nap.

In all seriousness, I really enjoy watching the show/movie first, and then reading the book. I'm not disappointed about the things the show left out, which are often necessary exclusions for pacing or limitations in visual storytelling vs internal narration. And then, when I read the books, it's like I'm getting the director's cut with commentary. It adds depth to characters and sometimes has deleted scenes.

Of course this isn't universally true. I will say it worked spectacularly for The Expanse

Can someone find the one where all of the buttons say "It is what it is" as well?

I would do it, but I'm all out of it is what it is

Oh, wait, all I do is quote Terry Pratchett and occasionally shitpost

I'm probably not a bot

This

BTW have you tried Skub? It's pretty amazing. I'd link it but it's against sub rules. Hit me up with a DM if you'd like to know more

I think you were correct in your top comment

It's a joke. You don't get it.

That's okay

Gypsies?

Yank?

Cry harder, Europoor

lol j/k, i don't care where you're from, and Europe is largely an awesome continent full of quite lovely people. Except for you. You're not just an ass, but a prejudiced one. Gypsies? Really? And all Yanks are murderers? It's only mostly murderers over here

I do agree with you on one thing though. Killing people over stuff is wrong. Thieves only deserve a beating. You just got to make them cry. Real, bubbly tears. Make em regret the decision and think harder before doing it again. Also, bring back corporal punishment in schools. And it's pronounced "gif"

…and this is the puffy-faced fizzblood. We have learned many interesting things about Terra from these creatures. For instance, while they often cry blood, occasionally their eyes will just, you know, burst. Seems to be pretty random, we think they evolved to burst their eyes to confuse predators

 

A little into about me. I'm in my mid-forties, I live in Ohio, USA, and am on Medicaid. I suspect I have either ADD or ADHD but I can't get diagnostic testing covered by Medicaid. What can I do to get testing or treatment? There are lots of "in-network" providers, but every time I get the focus to try and make an appointment no one answers their phones, or they're not taking new patients, or they're not in network after all. I'm so so so tired
