that want to have children

As long as people who don't want to have children aren't pressured. Not everyone is interested in parenting, and that needs to be accepted.

I am definitely guilty of bingeing shows that I get into. Even the aforementioned DS9, I watched the 180 episodes or so over the span of probably 6 months. It was great. Though building off the previous comment that you made, DS9 is serialized rather than episodic. The show came out before streaming, but I didn't watch it until after streaming because of how unapproachable serialized shows are on standard scheduled TV.

That said, I can still appreciate episodic shows. Comedies (including sitcoms) do really well with this format. And interestingly, I would even put sports into this category. There is continuity across a season via record and standings, but each game itself is largely self-contained. You can miss a game, or even a bunch of games, and just jump back into watching whenever. Regarding baseball's long season of 162 games, I've seen someone refer to it as a friend who is always there for you.

It’s never the right time

That's precisely the point of my comment though: there are tons of other posts one can condemn Israel's genocide that don't come off as opportunistic. The other side engages in this behavior: Netanyahu made a ridiculous statement that blamed Australia's recognition of Palestine - https://www.commondreams.org/news/australia-palestian-state

Honestly though, this isn't a hill worth dying on. Especially when we are on the same side, so this is just pointless infighting. You win, I forfeit. Have a good day.

It could be interpreted as victim blaming in a way that talking about gun control following a school shooting cannot be.

The other side openly engages in that sort of mentality, and I aggressively condemn it.

Of course I do, and I've been rather vocal about it over the last 2 years.

You've been on Lemmy long enough that you should know that this is one of the most discussed topics here. Probably top 3.

Different strokes for different folks. While I prefer the shorter seasons and the streamlining that this leads to, I can appreciate your perspective on this. The general feel of the shorter vs longer seasons varies significantly.

I usually find longer seasons to feel like a slog, however I will note that Deep Space 9 is a notable exception and one of my favorite shows. They really knew how to make use of the time that they had.

It's not just the serialization (which I do prefer), it's also that seasons are generally significantly shorter than what we've seen on standard TV. The shorter seasons are absolutely a key part of the equation.

A swing, and a miss.

What an absolutely ghoulish thing to say in response to a tragedy.

Since you included the Diablo Series, I'll assume that ARPGs are in consideration. Path of Exile

Does this tie into TLC vs QLC drives?

So it should be called "Round Down," as in it rounds down your IQ?
