I buy my reading glasses at the Dollar Store. If a pair gets broken or lost, no big deal - they're easily replaced.

You ever wander into or return to a thread after awhile and feel like you need a glossary to understand what’s being discussed now?

(I usually take that feeling as a sign I need to stay away from that thread for what it’s worth.)

I say this as someone who has participated in making this happen, probably many more times than I should: it is always helpful to remember that any thread, given sufficient time, will turn into an entirely different thread that it starts out as. It may or may not have turned into degenerate repetitive circles (though that's a good way to bet), but it will pretty much be massively tangental to the original topic. Its just a question of how long it takes to get there.

Unrelated to the above: You really are a worst-case scenario, aren't you?

My mom always told me, "If you can't be the best at something, legendary for your lifetime, then be the horrifying example they talk about for a thousand years."

Oh, no, I was just saying, there's a guy who dies of old age during the course of the first season. Probably not what I should have been watching while my 91-year-old father fights old age in the hospital.

Me: Hey, public forum, I could use some recommendations that fit these precise criteria.
Everyone: Let me tell you about my favorite thing that isn't any of those criteria!
