More like Free Fallin
NB: Haven't watched the music video for a long time - it's such a 90's time capsule it hurts

So, is there a series that has the final season that doesn't feel either rushed or drawn out, that finishes exactly how and when it should?
DS9. Not everyone likes how it ended, but the pacing was quite good IMO and the final season pays off setups from prior episodes going all the way back to the pilot.

Yes, the common understanding is that choosing to play means a risk being the loser, and that there will be at best magnanimity, but certainly not sympathy.

If you want to marry a hairdresser or woman of that social class, nothing is stopping you going to a hairdresser's salon and trying to find out if any of the women there are single.
That's totally inappropriate and you know it.

That's less compelling when there are alternative Schelling points, such as viability that do track base reality, at least somewhat.

Amazon already has, for most intents and purposes, a guaranteed job paying meager but livable wages for anyone willing to work. They get zero gratitude for this.

I enjoyed The Right Stuff narrated by Dennis Quaid.

This is a sensible signal but the implementation around me has been terrible. The left turn signal is a 3-stack of arrows, green, yellow, and red. The first part of the turn is a protected left, so it's a green arrow during this segment. Near the end of the protected left segment, it switches to solid yellow for 3 seconds. Now, my expectation would be that if the next period is unprotected turning, it would flash yellow, and it does, but not before turning solid red for 1 second. Every time I start proceeding on the yellow, expecting it to turn flashing, the solid red causes me to stomp the brakes in case I've made a mistake and the direction is changing. It's infuriating, and I wonder if anybody else has this terrible implementation in their area.
(My preference would be for it to transition immediately from green to flashing yellow - why do we need a warning that we're about to proceed with caution?)

3-4 years seems reasonable to me.
More that if you can't or won't support yourself, and your friends, family, and church are unwilling to help you, you're almost certainly some kind of fuckup likely to cause problems for others.
