The part about Derek quitting at Dressrosa two years ago made me laugh because I saw a Reddit poll last month where like 70 percent of people said they skip filler, but half of those same people admitted they never even finished the show. So take that for whatever it's worth. I watched all of Long Ring Long Land myself and yeah the Davy Back fights drag, but there's little character stuff in there you miss if you jump around. I actually read somewhere that some later gags and callbacks reference filler moments, so skipping everything isn't as clean as people act like it is. Your buddy is basically telling you how to eat a meal he walked away from halfway through. Watch your 4 or 5 episodes a night and enjoy it.

Did the PM ever see your log, or did it go nowhere?

I had the same thing happen with the app that tells you when the street sweeper is coming. For two years I wrote the schedule on my hand like some kind of cave person and got three tickets because the city kept changing the days. A coworker showed me the app, I rolled my eyes, then I tried it and it sends a warning the night before. Saved me 150 bucks the very first month. Now I use it for everything, even stuff I swore I would never trust a phone to do. Sometimes the dumb way of doing things just costs more than our pride is worth.
