Or ships it off to a country struggling to develop its economy so they can crash that country's textile industry.

It seems to me like massive luck that they DID have Loki season 2 to logically wrap up why Kang is no longer an issue.

I hadn't been expecting more Loki at the end of the season, it seemed to perfectly pivot to movies.

Lately the reason that I hate it is that when I click on the channel and start typing, it starts browsing through the channel link instead of putting what I type into the channel. And it's intermittent, so much more infuriating.

I'm 50 and have severe IBS. That, combined with a hernia I didn't know I had, almost killed me.

I spent a decade back living with my parents in my 30s trying to figure it out, get healthy, and rebuild my life again.

Then my job became taking care of my mom while she died.

I kept myself sane with gaming, and did a favor for a local on the game Kingdom of Loathing. Didn't know he was a local at the time, but as thanks he gifted me some pot plants.

That gave me a stake. My dad and I raised and sold those and pulled ourselves away from financial ruin.

At the same time a woman on that game took an interest in me and it got very serious very fast... because I was desperate and she was insane.

Once I pulled myself away from that I looked to dating sites and met my now wife.

As her sister has IBS, she was able to recognize that my condition was worse than just IBS alone. Because I was on public assistance at that time I was able to get the surgery and start recovering.

Problem is that I'd spent a decade training myself to panic when I needed to shit. And I've largely dialed that back, helping my other anxieties in the process.

We've been married a decade. I have a crappy corporate job that's WFH so I love that. My own toilet and food makes my daily anxieties easier to cope with, and I hang out with my pets all day.

He looks a bit sketchy.

'The Mount Lyell shrew (Sorex lyelli) is 9 to 10 centimeters long and weighs between 2 and 3 grams, according to the researchers' measurements.'

...really? That's insanely light for such a long body.

We once had a cat, Mojo, who got terribly matted like that once and we found out she loved to be shaved.

My wife is a vet tech and would bring her in for the new employees to practice trimming. She would lean into the trimmer and purr the whole time.

Here's Mojo with her Mojohawk:

SPISPOPD stands for 'Smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris'.

Back in the usenet days I remember someone making a crappy freeware game with that title.

That's right, a cheat code in a game inspired the creation of another game.

Fucking clickbait nonsense. Tell me what was done, not how I should fucking feel about the thing you didn't tell me.

My family group would love this, but my friend group would not.

Not surprisingly, my friends haven't watched Taskmaster but most of my family group have.

My cousin was even on the covid bit where they aired people doing a task in their kitchen. He isn't in the group, but his parents are.

They originated the show. You should check it out. Some of the key players in the American version started out there, like Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Greg Proops.

Until you know what was eaten, try to stop beating yourself up.

Dogs eat things. It's in their nature. If they eat a sock and it blocks them up, that's bad. But keeping all socks from them is tough. And they like to eat weird things.

Your job is to give them a good life and to try to keep them safe. You can't demand perfection from yourself, and if your dog could understand, they wouldn't blame you.

Finally, if you made a mistake, you can use this as a learning experience and do better in the future a bit. The alternative is closing yourself off to love out of fear.

I did this. One of my cats got out on New Years and was hit by a car.

Im the one who lets the dogs out, and he often snuck out when the dogs go out. I didn't notice.

I will always have to live with that.

But I'm reveling in the love I get from my other pets, not pushing them away.

As an atheist, this. (Also the child of drug counselors, so this still came to mind for me.)

Can I change it? No? Not worth my effort to fester over.

I can focus on those things I can change, and try to expand that area, but being upset that other people are wrong is endless.

"You see, it actually said 'No! Taxation without representation!'"

Can't you just tell us what it is and not send us to YouTube?

I thought that might be the case, but clarity wins out with me.

Final season of Lost, viewers dubbed the weird plotline that replaced the flashbacks 'the purgatory' they were all in until each had died and they could move on together.

Nah, they'd just assume they'd died a year ago and were in purgatory since then.

I was in a coffee shop a few years ago and a guy in line was wearing an O.G.R.E. shirt, a way old computer game from 1986.

I said "Nice shirt! Never played that game, though."

Completely delighted, he ranted about his love for the game until my order was ready. And it was a bit hard to get away from him afterward.

This is definitely someone who could've fallen into that category.

But I don't see it that way because I'm also neurodivergent and know people never engage with us like that. Might have made his day.

Just a little story from that borderline in the Venn diagram.
