Honestly, it's worse when you invest time into characters and then get no payoff. Shows like that build up stories just to drop them, which feels disrespectful to the audience. Tbh, it makes me hesitant to start new series knowing they might get axed.

Wait what? Machines reading skin now? That's wild. I went for a facial last month and they put this cold scanner thing on my face that beeped at my "problem zones". Felt like getting diagnosed by a robot. Sure the printout was detailed, but the lady barely touched my face except to wipe off gel. How can you fix skin you haven't even felt properly? We're handing over way too much to gadgets.

The texture difference is still noticeable in some applications though. They can get slightly mushy compared to fresh shelled peas in a salad. They're a great tool for purees and busy services, just not a perfect one-for-one swap.

Honestly it feels like every store has gotten worse with basics lately, not just lumber yards. My local hardware store keeps selling warped two-by-fours and the wrong length screws. Even the grocery store produce is hit or miss now. It turns a simple errand into a whole frustrating ordeal.

So the new elevator just needed a day off to contemplate its purpose? In my line of work, you see a lot of old mechanical parts that were just built to take a beating. New stuff has too many chips and sensors that seem to get confused by their own job. It's like the simpler it is, the less there is to go wrong.
