Found Several Packs' Worth Of Pokemon Cards Strewn Across A Target Parking Lot And Took A Pic To Show

I usually stop watching Dexter around Season 4, Episode 7.

Rant

Dexter not killing Trinity feels like a plot contrivance; there’s no real reason for him to let him live. He just decides not to kill him after already receiving the proof he needed. Instead, he gets sidetracked with some serial killer of the week because “he threatened Deb.” Really, Dexter? Do you not remember what happened just a few episodes ago because of Trinity?

The idea that “Trinity is on cooldown” doesn’t make sense. When has that ever been a consideration for him? It felt like the showrunners didn't want a predictable series, so they made Dexter act out of character. Trinity isn’t just another Miguel situation; Dexter has seen him kill innocents live. There’s no justification for not dealing with him ASAP.

You could argue that Dexter is struggling with parenthood and being a husband, which clouds his judgment. However, he has never allowed his role as a boyfriend and pseudo-father to so severely distort his logical reasoning. Show runners wanted Trinity to hurt Dexter. The only way they could get that outcome was to make Dexter act outside of his norm.

“Maybe he wanted to learn more about having a normal family life from Trinity.”

Dexter has tabled other serial killers with normal lives. He knows how’s to put on a show and still exist.

“Well Rita needed to go out that way for the set up!” (in a totally different show that the writers definitely knew would be a reality someday)

Actual take I’ve seen before. That show also shifts the dynamics around with the audiences relationship with Dexter so not a fan. I’ll explain. Imagine if Supernatural had a spin-off show that said: “erm actually the Winchesters were pieces of shit the entire time. You should hate them actually. Because technically they were still killing people even if they were irredeemable monsters!”

Then Sam and Dean are killed off by Adam and that found footage werewolf they chose not to hunt.

That’s how that ending feels. So no that “setup” isn’t a good payoff to either series. I’ll just pretend the show ended after S3.

Because people obsessed with celebrities find the weirdest things to obsesses over. I wouldn’t be surprised if it lit up the same area of the mind as love. Very parasocial.

For later

Words to use instead of ‘said’

**Using the word ‘said’ is absolutely not a bad choice, and in fact, you will want to use it for at least 40% of all your dialogue tags. Using other words can be great, especially for description and showing emotion, but used in excess can take away or distract from the story.

He’s back!

I’m convinced this is the doctor taking a vacation here. Because he’s not in the 3rd one.

There’s no way this is a real person. Nothing in the original post was said about having kids. Typical internet.

Long rant

I find it funny too because someone pointed out that almost nobody in the US pays for these. Most people, if they want one, will wrangle a stray one from around the airport. Not to mention typically luggage has had wheels since the 70s.

A rich businessman mad that he has to pay $6 out of his expenses. In an economy where most people struggle to afford groceries, this guy is upset about the possibility of spending $6 after traveling around Europe.

I was curious though if OP did have kids and simply didn’t mention them. If I was missing some crucial context that the replier had that I missed. So I checked OP’s profile. OP was traveling alone and has one daughter that appears to be an adult.

So nothing close to this imagined scenario in the comment replying to me. I realize the replier was projecting his scenario onto my comment. But my comment isn’t to the replier it’s to OP. Who clearly doesn’t have that specific scenario to worry over.

Additional Context:

(I made the original comment because I’m tired of people engagement baiting on there. Originally this site was about creatives showing off art.

Now it’s about non-stop engagement baiting like any other corner of the internet. A popular one atm is Europe vs USA .)

This post on Twitter really sent the Nazis reeling in the comments section. All sorts of cope and seethe happening in the comments section.

This comments section on Twitter is insane. Honestly though it deserves to be called X. Because it’s no longer Twitter.

It’s a place where you have to pay $10 a month to get your comment heard. Moderators that do nothing against reports because they themselves don’t find it offensive that something evil is happening to a person Either that or Ai not recognizing the issue.

AI being trained off every post.

No one I follow is seen. They didn’t pay for the checkmark therefore their post is “meaningless”.

Worst of all is that actual nazis are gaining a foothold on the site. Posting about wanting to do evil things to people and their posts stay up. It’s a fucking mess.

TikTok is pro self censored speech. Alcohol in any capacity isn’t allowed to be mentioned. Even in a video where OP is heavily slurring their words from the passenger seat and is calling a rearview mirror a windshield repeatedly.

This can’t even be argued for safety on the platform type of thing. Because someone is mostly naked on another few scrolls away and another scroll away is a detailed description of a serial killer’s mutilated victims with poorly blurred photos. Plus the platform has content controls that can be enabled.

This platform started the trend of “unalive” “grape” and other self censorship. Even in the midst of the ad apocalypse on YouTube that type of self censorship would have been seen as cowardly. Now the pendulum has shifted and users on the internet self censor out of fear of getting their posts deleted. Far worse with the possibility of even getting banned.

I’m tired of basic adult conversation being forcibly watered down or flat out censored by big tech. No one is responsible for another’s sobriety or “influence”.

An entire generation is being conditioned into self censorship about very serious topics. The older generations are already following too.

This isn’t a “muh free speech” post btw. This is a “wtf how did we get here in allowing basic adult conversation being banned in social media”. Even Zuckerberg with all his blanket ban hammers and comment removals was never this bad.

Also Nardole is here. Which furthers my belief.
