RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I've mainly been working my way through the Wano arc of One Piece
I started in on the documentary called Aliens Expanded It goes in depth about all the things that happened and didn't happen while making the movie Aliens. It's nearly 4 hours long, so I've been watching it in large chunks. I'm an hour and a half in and I'm enjoying it.
Ugly Americans. Older (2010-2012) animated comedy series from Comedy Central, follows a social worker based in a futuristic NYC where lots of aliens/monsters/animatonics/etc are now a part of society, his job is to help them with integration to the city, shenanigans ensue. It only got two seasons, aired while I was in high school and has a special place in my memories. Stumbled across it on Paramount+ and promptly binged it all.
I've started to watch the Batman from 1989, but after 30 minutes I got bored, and stopped watching.
Seirei no Moribito.
Scholastic can eat a bag of farts for squatting on the US publishing rights.
Got my partner hooked on Umbrella Academy, we're watching the final season now.
Also picked up Supernatural again after a month or two break.
Just watched Nothing Lasts Forever, from a FullMoviesOnYouTube link of Lemmy.
Incredible 1984 picture but in a 30s style. Never released. Includes Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray but they don't take up all the oxygen of the picture. Lots of great old timers in there too.
I started watching The X Files for the first time. I was scared of it when I was a kid. If I was flipping through channels and heard the intro music I would nope right the hell out and find something else. After watching the pilot episode at 32 I’m hooked! Mulder and Skully are so good together. And god damn, why are they both so attractive?!
It’s so fun!
Mad men season 4?5, flow, coupling.
Flow was surprisingly good if you like animals. Really heartwarming and reaffirming my concern over their welfare
Finished season one of Pantheon. It has Neal Stephenson vibes.
My wife and I rewatched Severance S1 in preparation for S2. What an absolute mindfuck that show is and I love it.
Been watching Trollied again, god I love that show, such a silly but kinda heartwarming comedy about working in a supermarket, also it's a better representation of that job than superstore was.
I went to see Flow! The ending made me tear up a little bit 🥹
I’ve been on late aughts basic cable dramas lately. After finishing Leverage I’ve rolled onto Burn Notice. Very fun and light and god damn but Bruce Campbell is an American treasure. “Spies, a bunch of bitchy little girls.”
Finally watched Fury Road. Enjoyed it, but it did feel like it was starting to get long about the time they turned back.
I watched the outfit, a recent movie that is set in the '50s. I really enjoyed it. I think it's on Netflix.
I watch a lot of Brit crime dramas, so I caught up with Shetland and Vera.
But I worked a LOT, which was awesome, and I didn't watch much else on television.
We watched 'Black Doves' on Netflix and it was excellent: drama, humour, a decent mystery and excellent acting. Hoping there'll be a second series.
Also, and as always, I've dipped back into my favourite episodes of DARK, also on Netflix. Still my favourite show of all time and the best thing I've seen on TV in the last 50 years.
I watched "Into the night" it was surprisingly good. It was funny because it uses so many of the language I speak.
I loved this show
My wife and I finished Killing Eve. Ranking the seasons, I’d go 1243. Jodie Comer was absolutely a scene stealer, but I have to admit I didn’t care nearly as much about Eve and Villanelle’s evolving relationship as the show wanted me to, and therefore I was kind of annoyed at how certain plot lines were resolved offscreen, presumably because they weren’t deemed important.
As for Eve herself? Shitty pigeon wings indeed.
I continued watching Silo on Apple TV+, what a fantastic show, the scope and the depth of the décors and props are off the charts. if you're up to date, watch Adam Savage's behind the scene videos on his YT channel (heavy spoilers).
I also started watching Flight Attendant on Amazon Prime, starring Kaley Cuoco (Penny on The Big Bang Theory), a dark comedy that's fun to watch, i can't tell much about it to avoid spoilers but recommend it after seeing the three first episodes.
I got to second a recommendation for Flight Attendant. Great show. Kelly Cuoco is much better then I expected and pretty much everything she’s put her hand to after Big Bang has been awesome.
I don't have Apple but I heard many good things about the show. Perhaps it is time to sail the high seas.
Finally started season 2 of Silo and watched the first two episodes. I’d forgot how much I enjoyed it.
