Oh I remember that. I want to say I saw it at Roo but not totally sure. I did see it, though and can't imagine where else I would have caught it. I'd love to see it again.
The last Walking Dead episode was like the Red Wedding. And I can't unsee what has been seen.
Lol I was just telling my brother that tonight's episode should be from a certain comic issue. Seems I was right. They've set it up pretty good.
I could think of a few ways they could have made it even more impactful but this was definitely a good start. This current season has been improved under the new showrunner.

By leaps and bounds, there was a clear effort with the producers to hire new showrunners for each show; FTWD and TWD proper. I didn't think that it was going to work with Morgan leaving and all the stuff that happens really fast at the end of the last season that seems too extra... actually pays off in this second half of this season. I actually felt like chills when the ending happened (I know it's in the comics which is great that they adapted it as they needed to)... Also the idea that Alpha and Beta are fucking ruthless and that hasn't really been investigated well on this show. All of the other villains had more interpersonal issues that were relevant to them losing their shit, wanting to be king of their realm etc, but this is a season of pure evil. I think it was very good foreshadowing the first character the Whisperers killed, via name, and via this red wedding.
Now re-watching Breaking Bad, and being a severe lover of the way Better Call Saul is written; it's amazing how well and different the two shows actually are written. One speaking of the physical aspect and the other the mental with watch much more talk and dealing with regret and family. They sync together so well somehow but there's a special effort drawn to make different shows while still investigating people's internal mindsets.

Making breaking bad was like learning and perfecting how to make Saul. They took everything that worked on the first show and applied a lot to the sequel. I love both of them going to do a BB re-watch within the next year. After Deadwood and some others
I feel very strongly about this and will be writing a full piece on this later but: "It's going to take me a bit to flesh out all the ideas I wrote down post-interview. But I will let you know when I finish writing this editorial piece, maybe I'll even be able to add some research with it. But the main premise is that drug screening (pre-incident) is the intersection of racism and class-ism as well as medicine, insurance, and profit. It should be illegal to do so, and federally one of Obama's biggest sins is not re scheduling it out of 1. To boil the premise down quickly. Not re-scheduling it means that states "rights" comes into play and the inequality of federal illegality also intersects (meaning if you have to do a full background check for a job, you probably still have to piss in a cup; and unions do the same shit for insurance purposes). There are no known links with increased accidents do to marijuana, but there certainly is when it comes to alcohol that people sneak, or even the dude with the cig who throws it in the wrong place and starts a fire or just a trashed environment.
Most importantly, if we are talking medications, and drugs; my two prescribed drugs are controlled substances capable of overdose and more dangerous than marijuana. We have people walking daily in a zombie daze to create money and welfare to others, with symptom heavy drugs all over the market. You know what is weird, knowing that this morning I didn't smoke; I'm out of my Prozac and am having a hard time reaching my doctor for a refill so I'm actually going through withdraws and dealing with the panic attacks that increase as I take my Onfi. It makes my chest feel nervous, and I regularly calm that feeling down and proceed with my day with high grade cannibus.
This isn't even the article - like a typical research comm major; the exact ironies will be placed within that writing, this is just a quick dissertation of what I would like to show/prove; enlighten others about."
We are pretty excited, we just can't decide which to watch first. I'm pushing for The Wire but she wants more Edie Falco, so she's leaning towards The Sopranos. I know they're both acclaimed as two of the best television series of all time though, so it feels like there's not a wrong choice to make here.
Nurse Jackie was so good. It's the type of show that's most entertaining to me: a serial with procedural elements. The Good Wife also comes to mind as another good example. Nurse Jackie also has a very accurate portrayal of drug addiction. No spoilers, but I'm a fan of the ending as well. Edie Falco is transcendent.
Re: The Wire vs. The Sopranos, you can't go wrong.
I agree completely about Nurse Jackie, I'm the child of an addict and I thought the portrayal of Jackie's addiction was so spot on. I was a fan of the ending as well. I loved most of the cast really, Anna Deavere Smith was great as Akalitus too.

Another great thing about looking at it as a legit medicinal substance would be looking at drug interactions and possible adverse reactions. Someone close to me has a serious medical issue that seems to be disrupted by partaking in marijuana and instead of being able to look at it and prove it doesn't play well with his existing medication, the doctors are basically just like "yeah maybe there's a link, maybe don't do that anymore" and it's very hard to convince them it's a bad idea OR to be able to adjust other medications to allow them to co-exist. One of the researchers in our building is doing multiple CBD studies and it's pretty cool. She says it's basically the wild west out there currently and that there's so much "data" going un-documented because people are using it (obviously a lot, here in CA) it's not being treated or studied like any other medicine, so everyone's just kind of winging it and trying to figure it out for themselves, which can have good and bad consequences.

If you want to follow down that introspective hole, seriously go for the Wire; it's soooo much more relevant as time passes. It goes so deep into this from season 3 on especially but with droplets in getting to know the characters in the first two seasons, which takes a minute to do well. If I wasn't re-watching Breaking Bad for the first time (I've watched the 1st season of Saul twice as well as kept on top of it/up to date). I love Eddie Falco, I think my aversion to hospitals and no Netflix stopped me from trying Nurse Jackie; note taken.

Yes very real. For instance I think it's insane that co-workers I know could smoke tobacco like they do; because it literally gives me the damn spins... and I have no IDEA how they operate but they must feel differently. My interaction with herb specifically is linked to neurological change in my head and calming anxiety caused by drugs; my tolerance is way higher and thus it is an effective method for certain things. It also means that I have converted to just smoking my oil at work, as my auras and seizures have slowed/stopped for now. I don't need it all day, but there's points I can feel my prescribed drugs/lack of food/normal life shit intersect and a hit of thc/cbd (a lot of cbd tinctures have trace amounts of thc to make it more effective for the user..which is why me just taking cbd for a month will not "solve" the problem) seriously helps.
How reliable is Spotify for y'all? I feel like the desktop app barely works for me. I usually rely on the web player when I'm at my desk. And the Android app picks and chooses when to work. Sometimes it's fine and other times it will load forever. If I've downloaded a bunch of songs it absolutely doesn't work, even in offline mode.

It works perfectly if you buy premium, but what the issue sounds like is the conflict that occurs between the desktop app, and multiple devices (what they promote with the premium buy). So you can only work one at a time accurately, i.e. if you have web player playing anywhere, it will freeze up the plays on the other devices including the desktop app. With me releasing my old playlists I've seen that this is the inconsistency that catches up with me sometime still, and literally closing tabs will fix it because a list will be playing via browser and confuse everything.
Only saying that too because I stayed away from Spotify for a long time, but as a service (esp. premium), it is effective as hell just with strong definitions that I think are built around half-assed rulings of copyrights. Playing on one player at a time type of thing, that causes crashes. Which phone body are you using, I'm on a new-ish Android

my spotify has been super iffy lately and i have premium. i just thought it was a work thing cuz they messed with some stuff recently but now that i see this it makes me wonder if it's something else

Playing on one player at a time type of thing, that causes crashes. Which phone body are you using, I'm on a new-ish Android
I have premium and only run one device at a time. I try the desktop app first, it works about half of the time, then I close the app and open the web player. The desktop app crashes a lot for me and then other times the search function won't run or a playlist won't load after I click on it.
Phone-wise I have an Galaxy S9 that I bought in November. On that one I usually just get the spinning search wheel forever at which point I give up and turn on a podcast.
Interestingly enough the feature that has ALWAYS worked is running sound on a different device on the same WiFi network. I play through my home stereo system a lot and that's never been a problem (when one of the apps works).
I've re-installed the apps multiple times, cleared cache, etc. All that leads me to believe that their apps just kind of suck.

I have no problems on my home computers that have spotify installed. I use an old Samsung S5 as a dedicated audio player for my car and at my old job (they blocked the desktop app and web browser) and the app was awful. Takes forever when searching for stuff/loading upon opening. If I pause it to go to the bathroom or something, sometimes I come back and it would take forever for the song to start playing again. Even "searching" for stuff I know I downloaded to the device takes forever. Only thing that works is restarting the app, sometimes multiple times.
On my phone the issues aren't as bad (motorola x4) but it is sometimes slow.
My kids have an old ipod touch, and I used to be able to use it to stream spotify and stuff, but I haven't been able to get it to play anything for about 6 months now. Just get the spinning pinwheel forever.

It's because of an API update, that changed the way they operate together.. that really blows that there are issues with the desktop app that permeate further. I have noticed those before, but with each upgrade, they have been less apparent. I'm not sure if the setup I have (with a direct ether net link for my desktop) is of ANY relevance, but otherwise, I have had no issues as compelling as the ones listed. I can only truly think that a full uninstall and re-install might help, but it might totally be something I'm not aware of that's interfering with the program
I use it on PC at work. That's the most efficient option for me. Occasionally there is a lag when I first start using it as it wakes up. Once it's active it's fine.
No problems on the mobile app. Not as easy to use as desktop but fine.
They fixed the Roku ap so that's working again. It's basically only with it for playing albums or playlists, though. A pain to search for stuff.
The web option that I have to use on the Chromebook suuuucks. Functionality is pretty limited.
I have major issues with my premium Spotify on my work PC. I agree, it takes FOREVER to load. I often will just repeat the same album a few times even if it's not really what I want, just so I don't have to take the time for a new search to load (even getting that same album to play again takes longer than it should). Also, my friend activity feed regularly freezes and doesn't update unless I restart the program. I don't know if it's related or unrelated, but every time I take the laptop off the docking station, Spotify closes. That's just weird.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
