Behold: my hyperfixations

Die gesamte Bevölkerung wird unter Generalverdacht gestellt, den Sozialstaat auszunutzen. Arztpraxen werden komplett überlastet sein. Eine mögliche Entlastung durch Telefon-AU soll abgeschafft werden. Statt Lösungen für die tatsächlichen Problem für gestiegene Krankschreibungen zu liefern, werden weiter Therapieplätze abgebaut. Jemand, der mal einen Tag nicht zur Arbeit kann, wird nun wahrscheinlich mind. einen Tag länger fehlen, weil Fahrt zur Arztpraxis und stundenlange Wartezeit wahrscheinlich nicht zur Genesung beitragen werden. Ärzte werden wahrscheinlich ohnehin häufiger gleich für eine ganze Woche krankschreiben, weil sie auch nicht riskieren wollen, dass die gleiche Person am nächsten Tag wieder vor der Tür steht. Und wer blau machen will, macht trotzdem noch blau - denn dafür gibt es auch immer Gründe und der Gang zum Arzt wird niemanden davon abhalten.

I bought the full digital collection of a tv show box set of a show that was on for almost 10 years. Apple decided to pull it. I no longer had access to that show that I paid money for.

I reached out to them, and asked them to refund me because I paid £60 for a tv show I cannot watch. They refused.

A week later, they uploaded the show again, and recommended I purchase the box set again for £70. They would not give me credits to purchase toward the box set that they pulled. No apology, no acknowledgement of how dodgy they were being. The show was removed from the platform, I lost all rights, if I wanted rights to watch it again, it had to be repurchased,

And that's why I just buy things on dvd, now and never streamers or digital platforms.

I'm currently trying to build a dvd swap with my mates. We have our dvd collections, I digitise them with MKV and handbrake, and we swap different shows and films we think the other might like-- many of which are older and not available on streaming.

In the episode 72 hours, we find out Rose may have contracted AIDs during an emergency gallbladder surgery.

Rose: Why me, Blanche? I'm tired of pretending I feel okay so you won't say, 'Take it easy', and I'm tired of you saying 'Take it easy' because you're afraid I'm going to fall apart. Dammit, why is this happening to me? I mean, this isn't supposed to happen to people like me. You must've gone to bed with hundreds of men. All I had was one innocent operation. Blanche: Hey, wait a minute! Are you saying this should be me and not you? Rose: No! No, I'm just saying that I am a good person. Hell, I'm a goody-two-shoes! Blanche: AIDS is not a bad person's disease, Rose, it is not God punishin' people for their sins!

In Isn't it romantic? we find out Dorothy's childhood best friend is a lesbian who recently lost her partner. She confesses she has feelings for Rose. Rose turns her down but makes it clear that she still wants to be friends even though she doesn't return those feelings.

Sophia: Jean is a nice person. She happens to like girls instead of guys. Some people like cats instead of dogs.

Jean: Rose, about last night. I should never have said anything. Rose: You only said what you were feeling. Jean: It's just that this last year has been so difficult for me. Pat was the person I planned to spend the rest of my life with. And when she died, I just felt so terribly alone. Empty. I thought I could never care for anyone again. Until I met you. I just got very confused. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable. Rose: Well, I have to admit that I don't understand these kinds of feelings. But if I did understand, if I were, you know, like you, I'd be very flattered and proud that you thought of me that way.

Ebbtide's Revenge gives us Phil's funeral, and Sophia addressing him wearing women's clothes.

Rose: So what if he was different? It's okay that you loved him. Sophia: I did love him. He was my son, my little boy. But every time I saw him I wondered what I did, what I said, when was the day I did whatever I did to make him the way he was. Angela Petrillo: What he was Sophia, was a good man.

Sister of the Bride, where Blanche's brother Clayton brings his boyfriend to town, because they're planning on getting married.

Blanche: Oh, look, I can accept the fact that he's gay, but why does he have to slip a ring on this guy's finger so the whole world will know? Sophia: Why did you marry George? Blanche: We loved each other. We wanted to make a lifetime commitment. Wanted everybody to know. Sophia: That's what Doug and Clayton want, too. Everyone wants someone to grow old with. And shouldn't everyone have that chance?

the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.

this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.

therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:

- being a cow

- being an almond

- being a woman

- being a coconut

- being in the omegaverse

- being an oat
