Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Today's Pet Peeve

A pet peeve thread.

I've never really been a fan of drug companies advertising their drugs on tv commercials.
To make matters worse, my tv provider, and even many of my streaming web sites, tend to play commercials BACK-TO-BACK.
Literally the same exact commercial played back-to-back with nothing between.

Today's Pet Peeve:
Just had to watch some stupid drug commercial, back-to-back.
Didn't catch the name of the drug, just some skin condition drug.
Didn't even catch if it was an ointment or a pill.

30 second commercial.
ENTIRE commercial (on mute, I always mute commercials) was nothing but a red rash being scratched to scabs!
An entire 30 seconds of watching somebody scratch themselves raw!

Doesn't wanna make me go out and ask a doctor for the ointment or pill, makes me wanna grab a bottle of Pepto-Bismol and drink the entire bottle.

Not gonna lie, that stuff just makes me feel icky, and there's a certain 'pressuring' culture around it that annoys me, like everyone else is doing stuff like that who's 'cool' or idk.

Sex and drugs, cigarettes and alcohol, and being proud of falling into a hole? I dunno, not my cup of tea...
