Excuse me? What do you have against delicious blackberries?

For calling themselves "land of the free" there is surprisingly little freedom, unless you are rich of course. At that point you can rape kids and get away with murder.

I stopped raking years ago, and have started seeing fireflies again.

My neighbours hate it, but honestly, I’ve never understood raking in the first place. It’s autumn, and leaves are natural. What’s with the obsession to make lawns look like artificial carpeted spaces?

The leaves look nice imo. Better than a scalped layer of dying grass.

It is strange to me, that sidewalks aren’t public property and are managed (and cleaned) like the streets in other countries 😄

I have crashed my escooter on slippery wet leaves. They were too slippery to steer.

Now I ride my bike instead I haven't had that problem as the roads are swept

It was always a mediocre show, but was so massively popular at the time that any criticism was quickly drowned out and brushed away. But now the hype has died down and people are more openly talking about the show’s flaws.

I personally thought it sucked back when it was new and have no interest in watching it now. I watched a handful of episodes as it had a syndication spot on my local networks, but just never got into it. (For the kids: Growing up on the East Coast, the dinner hours were generally news and 8-11 pm was “prime time” when new episodes of shows would air. In between shows would air reruns in syndication. So Friends was the filler I’d sometimes watch while waiting for the new shows to air.)

It's a comfort show that's still popular. But for some people they just don't get it. Kinda like how the office is a comfort show. Why do people still watch them? Not sure, I don't get the appeal. But it's pretty common to have a comfort show and that's probably fine.

Because it wasnt simple, and its got a lot of old culture in it that doesnt always hit the same way as it did then.

Its a product of its time, and making fun of it is sort of like making fun of older generations for whatever reason.

I will say I dont like how apparently women needed to be under 100 pounds to be considered attractive back then, and it bums me out knowing that Chandler's actor was struggling with addiction during a chunk of the show.

It does have some really well written bits though, but its usually not the ones people bring up most often.

I loved Friends growing up.

But it was of a different era and now many of their jokes make me uncomfortable.
