In my experience, it's more of a bell curve.

18 year olds are terrible adults, as they are just learning, and through your 20s you start to get your shit together, 30 something, you've built a foundation, and the adulting starts to come naturally. It varies from person to person, but at some point, you stop giving a shit, and slowly become less and less of an adult until you finally revert back into an infant. Crying about things you don't understand and shitting in your pants.

At 43, I'm on my way back down the curve. Definitely less of an adult now than I was 10 years ago.

I'm too ashamed to disagree with you.

If I knew there was nothing after next week, I'd keep doing what I do, but harder.

Can't argue with that.

I guess I stand corrected.

You must be new around here.

Can someone help me understand what I'm looking at here?

I've been staring at this green shape for a while, and I cannot make out what it is at all.

[–] Rhynoplaz 2 points 1 month ago

I'd totally be in then. I'm a try anything once kind of guy.

The success of a TV show can be gathered in real time. A movie needs to be complete before anyone knows about it.

So, they are going to make sure that movie is as sellable as it possibly can, because they only have one chance. The TV show can get tweaked as it goes, and sometimes milking a cash cow doesn't result in quality. I think of Family Matters back in the 90s. It was a decent family sitcom, but EVERYBODY loved Urkel. So much so, that the last few seasons were essentially the Steve Urkel show. That's who everybody wanted to see, but the show was complete trash. None of the storylines made sense anymore, and they had Urkel playing Urkel clones because MORE URKEL, MORE MONEY!

Or, of course, it loses popularity and then it gets canned.

This question is hard to answer because aside from some horrific things, I've always had unrestricted access, and without knowing what I'd be losing, it's hard to say one way or the other.

There's no changing their minds anyway, they'll just be less angry, so overall, it's progress.

Maybe if you're in Britain.

In the US, skinhead always means Nazi.
