Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Just got the email that Britbox is going up from $8.99/month to $10.99/month. (Now that I know I'm not using it for just one show, I should probably see if they have an annual rate).

I just signed up for the free trial of Britbox (which I'll be cancelling as soon as the trial ends).

Two for one.

1. Its a real shame, that despite your obvious (and I mean this) intelligence, and likely ability to apply said intelligence, you choose to demonstrate repeatedly, across multiple threads, that you are suffering the effects of some kind of trauma. I'm not downplaying it, you legit need help to move on, you'll be happier.

2. There are 4 chimps in a room, with a ladder, and some fruit hanging above it. The chimps try to climb the ladder, but if any of them touch it, they are sprayed down with a hose of cold water. Eventually, they stop trying to climb the ladder.

One chimp is rotated out, with a newcomer. That newcomer tries to climb the ladder, and instead of being sprayed, he is pulled back by the other chimps, scared of being sprayed.

Another chimp is rotated out, with a newcomer. That newcomer tries to climb the ladder, but the other chimps all pull him back.

This continues until all the original chimps are gone. None of the newcomers have been sprayed, yet they all know, you may not touch the ladder.
 

Not familiar wirh it, what is brickbox?

BBC streaming in US, Canada, and a few other places. From selected David Attenborough nature shows to Doctor Who to Sherlock and Luther. Lots and lots of crime/mystery shows.

I just signed up for the free trial of Britbox (which I'll be cancelling as soon as the trial ends).

That was my plan when I got on there to watch the end of some detective show that had the earlier season's elsewhere too. And then I started watching some others. I probably should have seen how many seasons Inspector Morse/Endeavor/Louis, Taggart, Midsomer Murders, and the like had before I tried them, because now it is hopeless and I think I am in for the long haul.

GM: What do you do?
Me: I climb the ladder.
Other Player 1: No!
Other Player 2: What are you doing?
GM: ... Are you sure?
Me: I climb the ladder.
Other Player 2: I want to hide. Is there any place to hide in the room?
GM: No... Okay, a hose comes out and sprays the group with-
Me: I jump onto the hose.
GM: ... What?
Me: I'm a chimp. I can leap from tree branch to tree branch in the jungle canopy. I leap onto the hose and grab it.
GM: ... Uh, the hose, uh, retracts faster than you can react.
Me: Okay, I land. Then I turn to the other chimps. 'If both of us climb, and one grabs the fruit while the other jumps for the hose, we can do this.'
GM: ... I need a Quantum Ogre...
