I initially heard Yanny, then I could heard interchangeably at will, and now I only hear Laurel.

That'd being said, a lot of these have to do a lot with presupposition. Being told what to listen for actively makes your brain much more likely to hear it. I'd like to see what people who weren't told anything heard with something like that.

I didn't know anything. Heard Laurel. Then actively tried to hear Yanny and don't remotely have a hint of it.

My wife played the clip for me in the car yesterday and I had not heard of this new "debate". I heard Gary. Then she said do you hear Yanny or Laurel... I was like "Huh?" Well definitely not Laurel.

Same exact situation here, we’ll what I heard sounded nothing at all like what either are. Closest word I could use to describe what I heard was something that would sound like gree-airy.

We watched the first two episodes last night. I found them kind of boring but my wife loved them.

They're filling in so many gaps from the first season, though. Providing details that we weren't ever aware of in the first season. I'm through 3 episodes, and each one keeps getting better, IMO. The first two did move a little slow. Three picks up quite a bit. And I think that trend will continue.

Interesting to hear about 13 reasons why season 2. Should have been a one-and-done show as it seemed to have wrapped up with nowhere else to go, if memory serves.

I'm sure we'll start it soon.

Nah, there were a ton of loose ends involving all the lives of the kids. So many directions they could have gone. I like what they've done though. Definitely worth the watch, at least so far. I'm on episode 9 now, I believe.

Second season of 13 Reasons Why is out on Netflix. Only about 3 episodes in, but it's just as compelling as the first season so far.

I understood was Netflix wanted a S2, but I did not think it was necessary. I know people wanted questions from S1 answered, but guess what in real life suicides, there are questions that will never be answered.

S2, on the whole, was solid but not nearly as good as S1. Without spoiling it, there was an unnecessary scene coming (won't even hint on what episode it is in, just know it is very uncomfortable and imo not necessary) that the show could have done without.

I am officially undefeated at bags. Retiring. Going out on a high note.

Won my one game 21-5.

No I’m not good, they were just that bad. :laugh:

How are you going to ask? Taking a knee?

That is how I did it, yes.

So we were at my graduation party, and my father was taking pictures. He took one picture of us, and then I said "wait, I know how to make the next picture better"... and I pulled out the ring, got on a knee, and asked.

I am happy to say she said yes! And, she was extremely surprised by it, which made it even better. It was a very fun day!

Guess I'm well on my way to being a grown-up... eek!
