I’m sorry. I know everyone’s tastes are different, but I can’t help but feel kinda bad for people who don’t appreciate musicals. They’re like an empathy-based drug. “Here, experience some emotional highs and lows for a couple of hours.”

As I said to my parents when they said something similar:
Not everyone is a 0 or 6 on the Kinsey scale. Plenty of people have some amount of choice. But not everyone is a 3, either. Most people have a preference. And some people are a 0 or 6. Just because one person with “gay temptations” successfully lived as a heterosexual doesn’t mean everyone can. The world is more complicated than that.
But of course in the Christian-sharia-law state of Tennessee, doctors can refuse patients if they don’t fit their values or whatever. A woman was refused prenatal care because she wasn’t married.
I can understand disliking The Office much more readily than I can disliking Scrubs.
Strongly disagree. Scrubs is one of my two favorite shows. It’s a brilliant example of dramedy. Showrunner Bill Lawrence is a master of the genre.
But obviously this is a matter of opinion.
Now the question is when you’re going to introduce them to 30 Rock. Are they ready for that level of jokes-per-minute? What about Community?
Only for the first four seasons. Rights agreements were different then.
You’ll also find most streaming sites turn the 4:3 into 16:9 by chopping off the top and bottom of the frame.
This is why I have the show on DVD.
4·2 months agothey reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers
I’ve been on YouTube Premium since it was YouTube Red, and I’ve never seen an ad when I’m logged in.
I justify it because YouTube Music is included, so I can get music streaming without paying for a similar service from Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whomever, and also get ad-free YouTube on all my devices and whatnot.
Oh dude, give it a chance.
30 Rock has the highest jokes-per-minute of any TV series, according to this extremely unscientific and rigor-less measurement.
Tina Fey is brilliant and everything she touches is worth sampling.
Evil is my favorite row here. Scrubs shares my #1 spot with 30 Rock, but only because of how much heart it has. The only show that matches the evil row for number of laughs for me is Community.
If you like any of these shows, I strongly recommend the rest. They all scratch that same itch for me, extremely well-written, clever comedies (that is to say, the jokes are often clever, the characters are often not).
Lawful Good: Parks and Recreation
Neutral Good: Scrubs
Chaotic Good: Brooklyn 99
Lawful Neutral: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
True Neutral: The Office
Chaotic Neutral: Community
Lawful Evil: 30 Rock Neutral Evil: Arrested Development Chaotic Evil: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
I think there are like, seven of them and they don’t talk to each other.
Have you watched Shrinking? I know it’s not a particularly ethical representation of therapy, but I’ve been curious to hear a therapist’s opinion of it as escapism.
That doesn’t sound like a good therapist.
I agree. But my wife was so firmly in the white/gold camp that I had to find this (and a better image of the actual dress, which is indeed blue and black) to help us understand one another’s perspective.
It’s more about the colors around it. This image from Wikipedia does a really good job illustrating the effect.
Context is extremely important in identifying color. As Technology Connections tells us, for example, “brown is just orange with context.”
That’s like 7,5 million Germans.
That’s a wild misinterpretation of what I said.
There are plenty of reasons not to like musicals. The songs ruin immersion for some people, the format is cheesy, the acting is over the top, the plots are almost always formulaic. The description of them as “an empathy-based drug” doesn’t mean someone who doesn’t like them doesn’t experience empathy. It’s such a leap from what I said that I feel like you’d have to actively try to misunderstand me to get that.
