Thinking about Northern Exposure lately:
A: I don't like [list of stuff]
B: If it's any consolation, your feelings aren't instinctual.
A: No?
B: It's cultural.
A: Well how the hell can that be a consolation?
B: It's learned behavior.
A: So?
B: So you can unlearn it.

I'm trying to make this place work, but... My feed is now almost entirely cat pics, authors whose work I'm not interested in, and reposts of quotes I've already seen. Clicking "Show less like this" appears to have no effect. How do I increase the wheat/chaff ratio here?

At the start of It's a Wonderful Life, Mary CLEARLY states that she doesn't like coconut. Thirty seconds later, George is heaping mountains of coconut on her ice cream. What an asshole! (My wife noticed this during our annual watch. She's so friggin awesome!)

Bros: If you use an AppleTV or Roku or whatever, switching your streaming service profile back to your wife's profile after your viewing session is the equivalent of putting down the toilet seat after a pee. It's just good manners.
