UM.

As someone who was there in the 80s, Baywatch's existence has zero to do with any beach episode of any series ever. If anything it owes its inspiration to Miami Vice, which was "MTV COPS" written on a napkin.

There are plenty of bara games which is a genre mainly aimed at gay men but they're almost all Japanese and untranslated. You might find some fantranslations though.

Stress and venting.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm trying not to be too specific here for privacy reasons, but it just seems like life lately has been this unrelenting series of stressful events. None of them are total disasters all on their own, it's just they keep coming like I'm stuck on a factory line of shitty things that roll out on the conveyor belt of Life Says Get Fucked one after the other. Each time I think okay, I've solved the problem and can take a deep breath and relax, WHAM another stressful, shitty thing happens.

What makes it worse is that as I've gotten older, I don't have the mental or physical resources for this anymore. I feel so tired and defeated and depressed. There's no time or money to do many of the things I used to enjoy that gave me peace. I can't even binge Netflix and stress-eat in peace because I have medical conditions that means I've got to watch my diet or things will get even worse, and then something else comes along and it's all hands on deck time again. I've got frequent killer headaches, I'm tired all the time and the cherry on the sundae is that stress now gives me an upset stomach. I get stress diarrhea, you guys. Plus heartburn on occasion. As you can imagine, this is super unhelpful. Like I'm running around trying to do this or that or get a hold of that person or deal with this financial issue and oh yes, have 2-3 sessions of destroying a toilet, then chugging Pepto afterwards. God, I hate my body sometimes.

If I won the lottery, I would quit my job and leave my whole damn life behind and start again somewhere else, but I can't do that now. I just want to lie in bed with the covers over my head and not have to deal with anyone or anything forever.

100% agree, I missed it. I'm glad especially kids shows are bringing back actual songs for the openings. It's an important part of the show-watching experience!

There's a new beach rescue show coming out next week.

Rescue: HI-Surf

Set in Hawaii. I believe its on FOX in the US.

I feel you OP, I'm in the Baldur's Gate 3 fandom.

as I've gotten older, I don't have the mental or physical resources for this anymore.

Hoo boy do I feel this. I'm always wondering if it is just something that happens to everyone as they get older, or a consequence of never being properly medicated or treated for mental illness (anxiety and depression, mostly) and it's a form of burn out. But things I used to be able to deal with seem to just break me now. My coping strategies just aren't working the same.

I also feel you on the diet and stress thing. Sometimes all I want to do is veg out and play video games while munching on chocolate or whatever, but I have so many dietary problems that I am severely limited in what I can eat, and the things I can eat I have to have in small portions. I haven't been to a doctor (poor, american, uninsured) but I know part of it is anxiety and stress causing more intestinal and stomach problems. But how do you destress to fix the problem when the problem is causing the stress?

I wish I could find a pot of gold for both of us. All I really want is a small farm with some land and to just live with the seasons. Work in the garden and with the animals in Spring/Summer/Fall and then hibernate and cook and read by the fire in Winter. But I don't even have a rental to myself nevermind owning a house and land.

Idk I have no help for you, but know that as I read your vent all I could think was "yes yes yes, I could have written this" in both a "Yes! We are not alone!" way and a "oh no, someone else is in this horrible life" way. *hugs*

[aplacetowrite]

I love this image with the secret. Perfect.

Also, I know that feel. It sucks when you're not ready to let go but it seems everyone else is.

[iff_and_xor]

Strongly disagree.

As counter examples, both “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” and “State of Play” are great miniseries but poorly paced movies.

And I’m struggling to think of any specific miniseries that I think should have been movies instead.

I wish you were in a better place, but there's some comfort in knowing that someone else knows exactly what I'm talking about. I think that when I was younger, I was just more resilient in so many ways. Physically healthier, that's for certain. I could go all day on 4-5 hours of sleep if necessary, nothing I ate upset my stomach, etc. It wasn't that my life was carefree, it's just that I had a lot more energy to combat whatever was wrong. I could just power through a sleepless night or an emotionally draining argument with someone.

These days, I'm just tired. Physically tired, and mentally worn out from what feels like a never ending cycle of crappy things, with far too few good things to take solace in. I wish I could just... catch my breath and regroup, you know? But it seems like I just never get the opportunity. I only visit the doctor because I have to, for maintenance medication that he won't prescribe without tests and seeing me in person. He's been concerned about my high blood pressure as well as my stomach issues and I'm fairly sure it's down to stress but I don't know how to explain to him that it's kind of hard to relax your way out of an attack of the stress shits. I'm trying to eat properly, I'm taking fiber supplements (which help) but I'm also going through Pepto Bismol and Imodium AD really fast. I know that's not good, but I can't really DO anything if I'm stuck in the bathroom.

I hope you find that big pot of gold and a beautiful farm, nonny. I hope I do, too, but thank you for responding. It's helped more than I can say. <3

I think The Thorn Birds could have been a movie.

I agree on your two examples.

[(Anonymous)]

Hard disagree.

I can't get into movies because so much has to happen so fast. Miniseries gets to have the character development and the plot without meandering endlessly. Best of both worlds.
