I think it might be a better cartoon than MLP.

I know, I know, blasphemy.

With certainty. It's a fantastic show.

Anyone watching the new Ducktales?

I'd rather leave my childhood untouched.

I'm starting to get a backlog of shows.

The Wire
Breaking Bad
The Sopranos
Mad Men
The West Wing
Game of Thrones
Westworld
The Walking Dead

There just aren't enough hours in the day to watch all these shows.

The last thing I watched was House MD... That was years ago.

I dont have time to get immersed in fictional worlds anymore.

At least I'm not alone with this. Some of my friends telling me: "You have watch <movie_name> and <series_name>".

Actually that's not entirely true given I watched Endgame last month...

How about watching them all at once at double speed?

The problem starts when "you should" watch 5 movies/week and follow at least 3-4 series.

I once proposed reading a book such that the left eye reads the left page and the right eye reads the right page.

My brother was horrified by that.

Or you can read straight across from the left side of the left page to the right side of the right page.

What are your favorite shows of all time?

Most of them I already forced myself to forget.

Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs; anything from Cartoon Network in the late 90s and early 2000s even though those have been forgotten by now, maybe like two or three noteworthy shows on Nickelodeon...

Did I mention I intentionally forgot large chunks of my childhood? I'm not gonna explain why; enough people have misunderstood me.

To be fair that's better than needing to spend and not having it.

Personally though, as I don't currently have a Special Somepony, I have more coming in than I am spending (so that's good, yes?)

That’s the question really. What use is money if I can’t enjoy it? I’m not complaining of course. I would hate to have nothing.

Beyond a certain point, I think its better to just cache it so that at a future point when your income *isn't* greater than your needed outgoings, you have a bit of a buffer.  There are plenty of things I will enjoy spending money on (and in the heat of summer, it really really sucks if you can't afford ice cream and things that are cooling because a big bill came in) but for now, I am content with what I have.

(and its not like the futility of shopping can be made better by black leather and studs. but they help)
