We are kindred spirits! I am devastated at what's happened with HBO Max, I will forever be salty that they gave up on Infinity train! And netflix too, dropping glitch techs, dead end, and inside job. So many good shows without closure.

I'm heartened that some indie artists are starting to go their own way online. Lackadaisy, Helluva Boss, monkey Wrench. It's promising and could be the future of animation, but requires a lot of patience for now.

I started Summer Camp Island but dropped it along the way. Maybe I should pick it back up again. What other shows are you desperate to talk about?

I'd honestly be interested in listening if we lived in the same area. I'm a total noob when it comes to anything beyond basic money management. I hope you find people who appreciate your insights!

Lots of things I'm really interested in are looked down on by other adults I know. I love animation but it's seen as something for kids. I love video games, but that's for teens, incels and nerds. And I love birdwatching, but that's for boring old people. Oh and also whatever my ADHD is making me hyperfocus on at any given moment. I could talk about any of those topics for ages, but more often than not people aren't interested, so I keep it to myself.

In addition to what people have advised so far, I can't stress enough how important rest, and especially sleep is when you're ill. Whenever I've fallen ill with a cold, flu, cough, etc., I find that if I try to fight it and go about the day as normal, the illness lasts much longer. If I try to sleep it off, I get better a lot faster. If you can, and especially on the first day, don't go to work, don't run errands, and especially don't go to the gym/exercise. Good luck!

I agree mostly, but that adds to the cost and it means taking time out of your day to go get the truck, go get the furniture, drop furniture off at your place, then take the truck back. It's an added inconvenience most people don't want to deal with.

America is huge and you might have to drive very far to get that second hand item. Also not everyone has a pickup truck to go get bulky heavy furniture you can't take apart to easily transport to your place. And bedbugs are an issue in some places, especially major cities. It's possible for some but not everyone.

That's a really heavy burden to place on a child. Sure when they're really young you'll be the centre of their universe. A superhero that can do no wrong. But eventually they will grow up, and become their own people. That process often involves outright rejecting you and being really hurtful. If you have a fragile sense of self I'm not sure raising teenagers will make you feel any better, they can be godamn mean.

Also your kids should NEVER be responsible for your mental health and self esteem. It's incredibly unhealthy and you will likely end up raising broken adults because of it. Honestly, save yourself and your potential future chlldren the trauma and heartache and do the work it takes to deal with your issues. It will be hard, but believe me it's a piece of cake compared to the pain you'd be setting yourself up for later.

Another person chiming in with the same use case. It's saved me SO MUCH time and it really helps get over the anxiety-related procrastination.

Aren't they risking losing their most talented workers doing that? I assume they can more easily find jobs providing the flexibility they're looking for.

Doesn't this prove the point? We're aware there's a problem when it comes to replicating some experiments, therefore calling into question their validity (i.e. our views on the science behind those experiments need to be adjusted).

I don't know why people are downvoting you (if that's what it's called here). I LOVE Hollow Knight, probably one of my favourite games, but I can understand it's not for everyone. I had a similar reaction to you with Hades, which made me realise I don't enjoy Roguelikes and Roguelites, no matter how popular and beautiful they are.

Edit: Ah I just realised it's because we're in an instance for board games. My bad!

My guess is Reddit is doing this to temporarily raise traffic. It's like rage bait. They know they're pissing people off and protestors will flood the site, but traffic is traffic. If they can demonstrate engagement it must be good enough for the upcoming IPO.
