Seinfeld is obviously a better show than Friends, but Friends has been able to be fairly popular with Gen Z kids in a way that Seinfeld hasn’t. So I guess one could argue that Friends is a more timeless show because it adheres closer to sitcom norms and thus is able to exist easier outside of the decade it was popular in. I love Seinfeld, but it is definitely a product of its time. To better appreciate it one has to be aware of the context of other shows of its time and why it was so revolutionary for its time. It’s sort of like Citizen Kane in that regard - it’s truly only appreciated by those who know of what came before and how it changed what came after. Removed from its context it’s simply a good movie. I work with students of varying ages and nobody is really watching Seinfeld anymore, however The Office is actually REALLY popular with middle schoolers.

I think we should just give SBL some space and let him come back when he’s ready. A lot of users have reached out to him and he’s ignored every message. At this point, it’s on him. You can’t help someone who is refusing to be helped. Even when I was suicidal last year I made sure to respond to every user who cared enough about me to reach out. You guys did your part in extending out a hand, now all you have to do it hope he extends his hand back. I get why he left, and I genuinely like him as a user, but the fact that he’s ignoring so many of us that are reaching out of concern doesn’t sit right with me.

It’s okay. I honestly don’t recall if you posted something bad. I just just the collective amount of Florida jokes from the past 24 hours got to me. I recognize I’m sensitive about this because I don’t live in Florida by choice. I hate it here. I see a lot of Trump flags flying from the back of trucks. What these guys may do once they think the Dems are stealing the election is potentially scary. Florida sucks as a whole but there a lot of really good people who live here who know how terrible it is.
