  1. One show I really liked was Madame Secretary, and one reason I really liked it was because the main characters were a married couple in a stable, loving relationship. Yeah, they had their arguments, but only in the way that normal married couples do. And banging was not shown. It was refreshing and I don't think the drama suffered at all. So it can be done. I remember how annoyed I got at ER because no one in that show seemed capable of staying in a relationship. The collapse of their personal lives got really boring, I finally stopped watching it.

  4. I wonder if anyone's done a study to find out if introverts are more likely to survive a plague than extroverts?

  5. If only I have his ability. I still not sure if I'm considered a germaphobe, I don't think I am. Maybe I'm inspired to, but definitely too lazy to do so. I can't even maintain my room to be the way I want it. I was accused of always cleaning up when my friends were visiting my room, uni time. But I was simply bored just sitting there, my hands need to be at something, but I have to admit there was no dust even on top of my cabinet as the small room was very manageable. Now there are too many things to do, my hands are barely free, I need to visit forum. Nope. I don't get sick often as well, and that goes way beyond I can afford to be me. We are just stubborn, that's all, and I hope we remain that way.

  6. Alex and did a quick tally of the ones we've survived so far. Not sure we got to ten, but pretty close, starting of course with (back during the Cold War) The Bomb. We hold that truth to be self-evident.

  7. Well, y'all, we can look at it this way ... the pandemic is a perfect excuse for us introverts to refuse invitations, stay home, and avoid people. See, there really is a silver lining to everything! I'm not following the news much but I heard they're thinking of sending every American $1000. (Although if the banks are closed, I'm not sure how we're supposed to go about cashing the checks.) I guess that would help ... but I worry even more that it would help Trump get re-elected. I think I'd rather starve than see that happen. What a world we live in, eh?

  8. The latter. People are postponing funeral services, or foregoing them entirely. A few are having private family burials, with just the closest family members. The industry itself isn't discouraging them, but they're being told by the health administration and etc. to avoid crowds and gatherings.

  9. That makes perfect sense. Actors are generally trained and encouraged to speak clearly. Script dialog is generally written in fairly standard (British or American) English. Regular humans tend to mumble in their own local dialect. Even native speakers can have trouble understanding each other, if they're from places with radically different accents and dialects.

  10. Again, I don't mind if it's essential to the story and they don't bang for the sake of banging. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against those, I just hate it so much (oh well I think I am against then) when a good story turn into unnecessary romance and it disrupts everything from then on. I hate that there are many series feel the need to have romance, no, they don't, look at the best series, most of them don't (well best to my rating). Anyway, if you guys see anything like that when they can't resist to get the main character doing it, please remember in another part of the globe I was in pain trying to get my eyes to roll back to the front. There is nothing wrong with shipping, I think I talk more about those fans who throw tantrum when they don't get something they want.

  11. Nicely put, however I don't really see it as 'introverted' way, to me it's just a deep sadness of someone seeing his only friend moving on, while he stays still, incapable to, or doesn't want to, at the same time Dang it, I know this is the price to pay when I let myself getting close to someone. It is general to everyone but I agree it's somewhat relevant as introverts tend to treasure relationship more deeply because we would only commit to very few, and brings out the vulnerability of usual 'is that something wrong with me? Should I do what everybody else is doing? As accent, I find it easier to understand English and American English in the shows, but have more problem understanding the regular human. Not sure why. Like I understand Sherlock well, but ??hah?? when I heard a group of British first hand.

  13. Thanks, Sheerluck! I've switched to DuckDuckGo on my main computer, because Google is currently being hijacked there. At first it'd hand the search over to Yahoo. and when I searched the web for an explanation, it sounded like a lot of people were having similar problems. Now it goes to some site I've never even heard of, and heaven knows what it's actually doing. So I deleted Google from my bookmark toolbar and added DuckDuckGo instead. So far, so good.

  14. Well, watch Stuart The Life Backwards. I bought a cheap DVD without subtitles and gave up after several minutes.

  16. My work in the funeral industry was suspended today "until further notice," so that's great. Not sure what I'm going to do now to make up that income, and I need every penny. I have a little savings but it won't go very far.

  17. My brother-in-law owns a small dry cleaning business in our small town and business is already slowing down. I usually work on Tuesdays but I got everything pressed yesterday and nothing else came in so I'm home today. We launder a lot of shirts for bankers, lawyers and school administrators but if all of these institutions are closed or cut back (which schools and the courts already have been) I worry about the stores future. I know we are in difficult times and realize the health of our citizens is important I just wish there was more talk of helping the small businesses who will really suffer instead of already hearing about the airlines or other big businesses and what assistance they need.
