  • Short answer: America.
    Long Answer: Because American companies are so greedy that they won’t even pay a livable wage; they expect working class citizens to pick up the slack with tips in every industry they can get away with doing such a thing. All thanks to the policies of a long dead president from the 80s (Reagan), that were never rolled back. In other words: America.







  • For me the issue is not only the bad writing, but the over saturation of content as well.

    There are just too many spinoffs and sequels now, ever since Disney bought the rights. I got bored of The Mandalorian halfway into season 1. Same goes for Obi Wan. Rogue One was great, but I didn’t bother with Solo or even Episode IX. Stopped paying attention after that.

    The only Star Wars content I’m looking forward to is the remake of Knights of the Old Republic, and only because the original was among the best RPGs I’ve ever played. Couldn’t care less about anything else. Disney killed off my enthusiasm for the franchise. Maybe I just wasn’t as much of a fan as I thought I was…




  • You can avoid the debt collectors simply by shredding their letters and ignoring their calls. They can’t harass you if you don’t pick up the phone for any number you don’t recognize. They give up pretty quickly (usually within a couple of months) once they realize that you can’t be reached.

    It’s honestly so simple to avoid paying debt, that I’m honestly surprised that people don’t think to just ignore it. You’re not going to go to jail for it, so why even worry? Even if it’s a non-medical debt, your credit score will bounce back in only 7 years.

    I’m in my 30s lol. They weren’t from my time period, either, but everybody watched the reruns in the 90s and 2000s. The old cartoons were everywhere in the media (and I thought they still were). You couldn’t avoid them.

    Edit: Also I find it odd that someone would recognize a LotR character but not a Looney Tunes character. LotR reached peak popularity around the same time that LT was ubiquitous.
