the thing that drives me NUTS when watching tv shows is the shot of two characters driving in a car, and the driver CONSTANTLY turns their head away from the road to carry on the conversation. #WATCHTHEROAD #DAMMIT
it’s beyond maddening, especially because once in a while, one of the tv shows will take the opportunity to stage an “unexpected” car crash.

Stop assuming everyone else in the world thinks and feels exactly the same ways you do.

#Fallacies #PetPeeves

I love #TheChosen. I truly do.

But guys, they didn't have backpacks in the first century.
They didn't have backpacks in the eighteenth century.

Lots of #anachronism in diction and props, lost of inconsistent transliteration and language use.
People speak with too many twenty-first century idioms, and if Shmuel is Shmuel, then Jesus is Yeshua, Simon is Shimon, and JAMES IS YAKOB, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

But don't get me wrong. I adore the show.

My #updated #introduction for #newgaymembers. I am a 40-year-old #single #gay #male. I live in #MissouriCityTexas which is a #suburb just outside of #HoustonTexas. I enjoy #workingoutnaked, #watchingtelevision, #watchingmovies, #reading, and #diningout. I also would like to #cuddle with a #sexy #guy. My #petpeeves are #scammers, #liars, #fakepeople, #jerks, & #smokers. I do enjoy the occasional #alcoholicdrink once in a while, though. The rest is in my #profile! https://woof.group/@SingleGayGuy
