A Thank You To The New 'Skip Intro' Button On Netflix
https://i.ytimg.com

I apparently watch too much Netflix, because I just wrote an article about what shows I would recommend to watch next. (If you missed that, you can read it here!) And here we are again talking about how great Netflix is. Ever notice how some of the opening credits for some shows seem to be about 3 years long? Well thanks to Netflix, that is a problem of the past thanks to the new "skip intro button" they just introduced.

Dear Skip Intro Button,

Thank you for existing. Anyone who watches Orange is the New Black knows that some intros to shows can last longer than anyone would like. In the dark ages, you would just let the intro play through and when they were really long this was the perfect time to grab a snack or go to the bathroom without missing any binge watching time. With the new skip intro button, that is a thing of the past.

Speaking of binge watching... when an episode ends on a cliff hanger, I do not have the time or the emotional stability to sit through a ridiculously long intro. I need answers and I need them now. You allow me to skip that part of the episode perfectly without missing anything important. While not all episodes have your amazing capabilities just yet, I am excited for the day where every episode has a skip intro button.

Not having to watch intros anymore makes binge watching go must faster. When there is no opening credits, there is no interruption to remind you that you have other things to do like homework, eat, shower, and sleep.The episodes blend into one another and eventually you end up on episode 9 when you meant to stop 6 episodes ago.

So skip intro button, thank you for being made. I hope that you catch on and stay around for a long time. You are amazing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
