How does "Obsession" differ from your run-of-the-mill Lifetime movie?

It seems the movie is a huge hit, society can't stop talking about it and the main actress has become an A-List Celebrity overnight. Now granted I haven't watched the movie yet but from what I've heard, the plot sounds no different from a typical Lifetime movie. Something that would be titled "The Dangerous Girl" or "A Fatal Fixation". Is society living under a rock and doesn't realize Lifetime is consistently putting out sinister movies like this? Now granted the quality of acting, cinematography and production probably doesn't match Obsession, but is that really the difference to these people?

Do I need winter tires for Vegas?

Moving to Vegas in a few months. Apparently winter there is only about 6 weeks (January-Mid February). Looks like temperatures can drop to low 30s once or twice a week in the winter but then warms up during the day. Is it worth getting winter tires for this short time period? Or should I just Uber to work the few days the temperatures are below 40°F in the morning.

Do the official episodes on YouTube contain the ending credit updates?

On the HLN network, I'd watch episodes that would sometimes end with updates such as "John Doe is now eligible for parole as of 2019" or "John Doe has been released from prison as of 2022". A lot of the early episodes were from the 80s or 90s so some of the criminals have served their sentences by now. Have you noticed the YouTube uploads (the official ones, not random episodes people upload) containing these?

Do you think the lack of modesty in women's gym outfits nowadays has contributed to your ED?

Nowadays it's not uncommon to go to the gym and see women in basically bras and see-through shapewear. The gym is probably the most scantily clad place in our society today. I feel like seeing so many women with nice figures basically showing it all off has desensitized me from getting aroused because it's become as common as seeing a tree outside.

Why so many off-season stalemates right now?

LeBron's decision was said to be the first big domino to fall but we've known for over a week now where he's going. What are Duren, Kuminga, Watson waiting for? A magical max offer to come out of nowhere?

Does Grindr grandfather subscription prices?

I was paying $72 yearly for XTRA for a couple years but let my subscription expire for a few weeks and when I came back they charged me $150! I wonder if I screwed up and should've never let it expire or if they would've raised the rate on me anyways.

Women are so kind to me at work

I doubt this is a universal experience cause I hear how a lot of guys get ignored/treated rudely but I just feel like women are nicer to me than most guys but particularly at work. Even some female coworkers have noticed this. I'm in healthcare and between the hospital staff and my patients, women always seem so happy talking to me. I'm not sure why, I'm not really attractive (0 play on dating apps and rarely get extended stares in public). But it's nice 🙂 Buttered protein pasta with shrimp

Former NBA player criticizes Hawks selection of Zaccharie Risacher with the #1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft

"Played this young guy in France this past season; no way he’s the number one pick in the NBA draft lol, but I guess!" - Frank Mason III original post on X

"lol, hating? Never. I like the youngin as a player but I think as the number one pick you gotta be able to do more than just shoot 3s and play defense." - Frank Mason III reply to fans suggesting he was hating

Frank's foresight of the selection was viewed as jealousy as Mason had washed out of the league in 4 seasons but as time passes his critique proves to be the correct analysis.

Why it's so hard to find women in this city that like to eat pork belly?? 😠

My favorite food is pork belly 😋 but all the women I try to date don't eat it. They either vegetarian or on some special diet or they are Muslim?!? I just want someone that enjoys delighting in my favorite meal 😞

ATs that have moved states, have you kept your old licenses active?

My license from another state I worked in last year is expiring soon. AI is advising me to keep it active as it will go under delinquent status if I don't and it apparently looks bad on future background checks. I don't plan to return to that state in the near future but in 10 years who knows. What have y'all done with your old state licenses?

Compare and Contrast Austin, TX vs. San Francisco, CA

How similar are they? Both appear to be very liberal tech hubs. Austin being more affected by the state's conservative policies as compared to San Francisco which is supported by its state's politics. Austin also has seasons unlike San Francisco that seems to have fall weather 10/12 months of the year.
