I enjoyed it well enough. Definately more "background noise" than fully paying attention, though that could be a symptom of binging and I accept that. The cases have a little diversity despite all being sex crimes and the discussions it sparks with my husband are great! Honestly I'm more fond of the background characters than the main cast at the moment, but I'm feeling them grow on me (seriously where did they get those extras? Acting their hearts out for a 20 second scene, I love the passion).

Probably about a 5.8/10 for me. A bit above average, but nothing really makes me want to chose it over something like Psych or Crimminal Minds other than the heavier tone and the fact that there's a billion more episodes to watch.

Spoilers from here on out.

Yes I'm binging, no I have no self restraint, and now my husband and I are up too late looking up old laws and dicussing this! 🤣 For a refresher if you need it; >!this episode had a serial rapist who was part of a quaker congregation. One of his victims went to the same church, had forgiven him, and refused to let him go to jail for his crimes. The pastor knew some of this, but refused to even give a list of names of his members to aid the investigation.!<

After watching the episode, my husband and I agreed that; The pastor knew about the rape, knew the victim didn't want to turn him in, but *didn't* know who the man was. Without a warrent, would he have been in the right to give the police a list of members, or does that break confidentiality laws? Could he have reported the crime himself? Priests were not mandatory reporters back then, so would that break any vows he may have taken? Is there anything in Quaker belief system that might SPECIFICALLY stop him or anyone there from bringing this guy to justice?

And finally, had the rapist suffered enough that he truly does not need any more punishment for his crimes? (Got arrested, raped in jail, and was paralyzed from the ribs down in an accident. He spent the rest of his life religious, working an honest job.)

What do yall think/know? My husband and I want to keep talking about the nuisances of this in the morning.

Once I got married and moved out of my mom's house, I really went all in on the spices and trying to season my food in new ways that I never go to before. My husband is a good sport, I don't make him try the WEIRD things, but if he says it smells good, I'll give him a bowl.

One of my favorites to discover was black truffle hot sauce on mac and cheese. I dunno what it is, but it's heaven to me. Hubby not so much, lol. Since I'm the only fan of it, I often forget to restock my sauce once I run out and I've been bummed for a few months opening the fridge, not seeing my sauce, and then forgetting to add it to the grocery list.

Well no more! My husband found a bigger, much more expensive brand of black truffle infused hot sauce and I've got mac and cheese in the fridge!

Anything I should know going in? I just finished Criminal Minds and SVU sounded the most interesting to try next.

Every time I see those dazzling photos people tack of the night sky with intense, powerful, and sensitive cameras, the comment section is filled to the brim with people "This is what light pollution has taken away from us!!" And just... No.

I've been in the country on a crisp, clear winter night with a new moon. I looked up into that deep void with only the cattle as company. It's pretty. They twinkle and shine and it's much prettier than the few specks in the suburbs, but it is NOT a sea of galaxies that the naked eye can behold. It irritates me when people act like the situation is a lot worse than it really is.

Anyways, that's why my husband likes to tell people that I don't believe stars exist. And if someone tries to ask me, I fully commit and say that stars are government propoganda and the few we can see are all sattelites spying on us. It's an AMAZING conversation opener!

I love my husband to the moon and back and one thing I haven't been able to do for him is cook good Indonesian food for him. He served his mission in Indonesia and lived the food and culture and people. To this day he is willing to drive 2 hours to some place that serves decent Indonesian food.

I want to try and make him a good Indonesian meal as a surprise one night, but I am sadly very white and don't really know what blogs to trust online. So I'm coming here to ask for any good and detailed recipes you all might have.

My husband and I don't make a lot, mostly living off of his teacher salary while I use my part time job to collect savings. Well we recently recieved a nice chunk of change (about $3000 total) and we're trying to use it correctly. Pay off what little credit card debt we have, put most into savings, and use just a little (10%) to buy something nice for our anniversary...

My father also suggested I should use some to open a ROTH IRA, something I probably should have done years ago, but I keep getting overwhelmed with the process. He likes to dump a bunch of info on me and offers no chance for follow up questions, so I wanted to ask you guys; How much should I put into a roth account to start? Do I put the same amount in annually, or do I just not touch it? What would be the best company if I'm kind of new to investing in anything? Is there anything I should consider before I make the roth account?

I know of Hello Kitty, I've seen the characters as plushies and in crossover merch my whole life, and I just decided that I want to know everything about them, but I really don't know where to start. I wanna know a little bit about each character, any lore or story they have, what their marketing strategy was and hiw each one was created...

I want to be disgustingly educated on the topic by the end.

So are there any good video essays that I could listen to at work, or maybe an article? Should I just open the wiki and read everything that interests me? I feel a bit directionless atm and thought you guys would be the best place to turn to. Heck, infodump about yohr favorite character in the comments. Anything will help, I am starting at ground zero here.
