Ugh, same regarding the dentist. They’ve started seeing patients again, and I know I need to go, it’s for my longterm health (and for not paying out the nose even more than I already have for root canals and crowns), but I don’t wannaaaaaaa.
Dallas is implementing a “Duty to Intervene” policy requiring officers to step in if another officer is using excessive force.
All of my prep work for the new season of Destiny 2 done, so until the 9th I’m taking a break to hit some other games.
Been having a ton of trouble sleeping lately. Trazodone prescribed by my doc is helping. Just can’t shut my brain off at night. Doesn’t help that my sleep habits are garbage, but even with them being garbage I’ve normally been able to sleep fine. Naps, I have no problem with though. Naps are great. More naps please.
This really bugs me too. The entire top third of my island is a giant nature trail through different biomes, one of which is a pine forest. All of the ground around that forest is covered in weeds by design. It’s part of the aesthetic. Yet I will never get a 5 star island because of it. :(
I will never not enjoy reading cheaters complaining about being treated unfairly.
Bullet Sponges: Valid only in specific situations, I think.
Finding it difficult to keep track of things at work right now. Part of that I’m sure is just The Times We Live In™, but it’s also the way my role in support works right now. Previously we took tickets in, we resolved them, we closed them out. Easy peasy. When I got moved up to a higher tier of support, I’ve now got…
I thought Cars was one of Pixar’s weakest efforts. Not bad, but barely worth more than a shrug. It had been all home runs up to that point.
1. The burner phone is already a recommendation in this article.
I’m in the same boat, wondering how to help. Anxiety prevents me from going out and marching. I have exactly two twitter followers (which I don’t mind, I basically only have the account to follow people and enter contests), and everyone I have on my Facebook is already posting/signal boosting so if I did I’d just be…
It boggles my mind how many people hear “Black Lives Matter” and think it’s implicitly followed with the words “... and therefor no other lives matter.”
I too wish I could get out and protest, but am crippled by anxiety. Prone to panic attacks in densely crowded areas. I’ve got medication that keeps me level *most* of the time, but I’m not yet confident enough to actually go out and challenge myself like that. :(
Took a two days off last week purely as a mental health break. Slept in, played videogames, took naps, did nothing productive, and it was glorious. Helped my mood tremendously.
Bugs are bugging me, funnily enough. Summer means ants, and they’ve invaded my office like they always do. Historically we haven’t had much success with traps, but we’ve got some goop you law on a little cardboard doodad for them to eat, bring back to the nest, and poison every last one of them while I laugh like…
Re: your edgier youth, I often wonder if I would have been more adventurous/edgier in my youth if my family circumstances had been different. An unspecified family member (they don’t read Kotaku, but just to be safe) got heavy into drugs, drinking, and generally wrecking the household when I was growing up. As a…
My wife and I used the same loophole, though we weren’t sure at first if it was possible. We owned a standard Switch, but I bought a Switch Lite both because I didn’t want us fighting over who got to play next, and because of the “One island per Switch” rule. I downloaded Animal Crossing on launch day, and when she…
I know Penny Arcade tends to get the “Not funny, booooo” comments in here, but even when a strip doesn’t make me bust a gut, Jerry’s writing almost never fails to make me grin.
... how did I not know this?!
