Season 3 would've been a near perfect "end" to the series

While having Joe receive his karma in the final season was very satisfying, its callbacks to previous seasons, and THE due justice for Beck (dare I say also, Peach?). I find that the end of Season 3 would've been such a perfect and imo "realistic" ending to the show. Love is entirely blamed and despised by everyone in the community, meanwhile Joe is presumably "dead" to everyone and free of any scrutiny. He even gets some version of a "heroic" ending, as he's the one to stop Love's murderous tirade and even leaving Henry to be cared for by another family with hope that a normal life prevents him from becoming like Joe/Love.

It really reflects how in the real world there are so many "Joes" that lurk around hurting others and never truly are held accountable for their actions. With that sometimes the justice for their victims is never actually reached either. While Love isn't innocent by any means, her being the only one punished really adds to this narrative that the female characters presented in You are always the ones who have to face the most ridicule/harsh endings for their actions by comparison to their male counterparts who do equally worse.

2024 Jetta SE opinions?

Hello everyone,

I'm considering a trade-in (2017 Toyota Yaris) for a 2024 Jetta 1.5T SE and was wondering general opinions and/or the pros/cons anyone's had with theirs or similar models? I know that generally when it comes to Volkswagens maintenance and repairs is usually the biggest "con" I've read about due to the expenses.

Feeling sick after clean play?

Does anyone else get violently ill after doing clean play? I've noticed lately when working my combo shift of regular closing + clean play afterwards (some weeks we get lucky and can have partners designated for just one or the other) I'm quite literally dying towards the end. I get incredible fatigue, cramps, cotton mouth, and immediately throw up once I get home and I just don't see why this would be happening? I'm perfectly fine on the weeks I'm doing either just closing or coming in solely for clean play. I frequently use many of the chemicals for cleaning (restroom cleaner, etc.,) and have never had issues before? I feel like an absolute weenie but I just wonder if anyone else deals with similar issues.

Advice on where I should begin with investing?

I'm in my late 20s and really haven't had much literacy or knowledge of how to invest and plan for the future. I really want to know where's the best place to start? I have a decent amount of money in my savings currently and have 1 CD account open that I've utilized for the past 2 years (4-months/3.43% interest) that's helped me accrue $600 over the past 2 years, which is at least something, but I know that long-term isn't quite helpful and so I'd want to use some other method(s). I've had friends recommend Roth IRAs, and some using Ally Invest? But there's just too many options and terminologies I'm unfamiliar with have just left me a bit lost on what's a good first "beginner" step.

Worth the switch?

I’ve had an IPhone for nearly 20 years now but have really wanted to make the switch back to the Razr because I’d always enjoyed how functional/practical my classic Razr was in the mid-2000s (pre-iphone era). But of course the newer models are updated & more modern in comparison. So I was wanting to get any opinions/thoughts.

My only concern (or I guess confusion) is the idea of the phone being touch screen, yet also folding in half? Does the screen begin to lose function over time because of this?

Scary Movie 6 thoughts (possible spoilers)

Just saw Scary Movie 6, and I have to say that it was overall pretty decent? I'd been skeptical as many online were saying it was awful/unfunny and while there were some dull bits I don't think it was AS bad in comparison to other parody films.

For some pros, I found that Anna, Regina, & Cheri had some of the consistently funny gags/moments but were also so underused (especially Cheri Oteri). The newer characters added (mainly Tuesday, Jack, & Dei) had some pretty funny moments such as the Hospital, Sinners parody, & Scream 6 subway scenes. Plus, the ending killer reveal was pretty unexpected and enjoyable. The overall structure mocking Scream 5 was pretty spot-on in terms of how ridiculous of a "reboot" it tried to be for that series and how modern films portray Gen-Z in unintentionally "annoying" ways. Other references such as The Substance, White Chicks, & Sinners were also some highlights.

For the cons, I was disappointed in the Wayans brothers' performance (more so Marlon) and just felt there was too much focus given on their characters, and they just were painfully unfunny. Marlon was just so overly focused on at times, and his scenes just really didn't make me laugh opposed to Scary Movie 1 & 2. Newer characters such as Cindy's daughter Sara also had some funny moments but just was so irritating 90% of the time (no hate to the actress whatsoever). There was also so many unnecessary movies added such as the K-pop Demon Hunter, Get Out, & Longlegs references as they just didn't really make much sense. I'm also not one to care about language in films/tv but they just really overused the constant n-bombs in every other sentence.

Overall, I'd say for a revival/return of the Wayans Brothers' this was still enjoyable and if Scary Movie 7 was to happen I think it would be better to condense down the movies/topics they're wanting to parody and make a more cohesive "narrative" (as cohesive a parody film could be) of the main film they're wanting to build around. I also wouldn't mind seeing some of the newer characters revived and make appearances into future films.

I don't care you're in my house Fly, just leave ME alone.

It's summertime and extremely humid in Texas, flies are obnoxiously everywhere as it is every year basically. I know they're going to get into my house, but for the love of everything I wish they would just LEAVE. ME. ALONE.

They move into every room I go into no matter what, and just constantly buzz and bother me and it drives me up the wall. I'm not stinky, nothing in any room of my house is bringing in a noxious odor, and even if there was? Awesome go smell on that and just get out of MY face please.

I'm too scared to move forward with anything and it's ruining my life.

I'm always scared and anxious to move forward and do literally anything to progress my life. I keep self-sabotaging so many areas of my life such as job opportunities, moving to new cities, meeting new people, and all of which has just sunken me deeper into depression. The only things I look forward too each day is when I can clock out of work, come home and practically fuse my body with my bed. It's the only thing that soothes my anxiety and allows me to feel "safe".

I just don't know what to do, or how to create the change I desperately want. I want to live my life; I have all the resources to do so but every inch of my body just becomes paralyzed with fear and prevents me from doing so. I had to get these thoughts off my chest, because I've just isolated myself so much from everyone in my life. I just feel pathetic for feeling desperate for connection and to just function "normally" like others.

How do you address an aggressive recruiter in a professional manner?

As the title suggests, I'd interviewed for a job last month and from just the first phone call "screening" my recruiter has been just extremely hostile? His tone/attitude is extremely condescending and frankly, aggressive. I'd tried to push past it initially, maybe he was just having a bad day? But today, I'm feeling very turned off from this job and corporation as a whole.

The dilemma concerns my start day for training, as I had to complete the typical background check alongside fingerprinting before moving forward. I'd discussed this with the actual manager themselves, and they said once I'm cleared, we would move forward with setting up my official start-date (I'm currently employed, so I set the boundary immediately that I would be giving my 2 weeks and then transitioning afterwards). My recruiter calls me this morning seemingly irate, repeatedly asking me If I still wanted the position and that I was expected to be working in-role as of yesterday?

Every time I'd try to explain the situation, he'd overtalk or just simple state he doesn't understand. When I'd brought up the conversation that occurred between me and the manager, he became very upset that I'd have this discussion with them? He'd even said along the lines "So you won't move forward until you speak with (insert manager name)?". Well, yes? why wouldn't they be included if this inconsistency has occurred.

I just don't understand where this attitude has stemmed from? I've been transparent with my position and needs from the beginning, and no emails, voicemails, etc., had been communicated to me that I had an immediate start time nor had I agreed. Since I will be partnered alongside this individual for my in-role training, and other technical things I do feel some conversation needs to occur. While I can understand some information may have been missed or not properly communicated, I feel it's no excuse for this behavior.

EDIT: Adding this in just to summarize and give a bit more context. The discussion held between me and the manager was that I would be contacted when my background check/fingerprinting had all been collected/cleared. Once this was relayed back to me, I'd submit my 2 weeks' notice from current employer, and we'd officiate an official start date.

My Dream Find

Countless years of thrifting and I finally was able to find a working & good condition CRT/DVD combo (would preferred the CRT/VHS, but have to pick my battles wisely here).

New Employee Question

Recently hired on at a Wells Fargo in my city, and was wondering if/how transfers to other locations work? Can I simply put in a request for a branch that has opening(s) for my position, or do they require an entire application process? Ideally, I wouldn't be moving out of state for the next 1-2 years, so I didn't want to scare or make a poor impression on my branch manager with these types of questions just yet.
