Did you try the powder or the liquid?

I have much better results with the liquid additives, and have managed to stay off sugary drinks outside of the occasional treat. Also have gotten a better value out of store brand than Mio. Normally a bit cheaper for a bigger bottle.

Same way cutting off your hand helps with a sore throat.

Sometimes you need to find a larger thing to concern yourself with.

No nipple to tweak? No deal!

Percussive Maintenance is so effective, the Adeptus Mechanicus accept it as a holy ritual.

It’s All White Noise by Charli Morgan.

I just wanna be something good. I just wanna leave something decent. I just wanna make something I don’t hate.

LEGO biology is weird. Most of them don’t even have ears.

And then you have Bionicle, which is LEGO and biology!

ETA: For those who don’t know.

A quick summary: Guy behind Bionicle dealt with morning sickness as a side-effect from his medication. To help cope with it, he imagined the medicine as little warriors, going into his body to fight the cancer. The reason they had capsules was inspired by the pill bottle!

More like 12 hours away.

Never had a better cheesesteak than that little hole-in-the-wall shop in a small town in West Virginia. Grumpy ass old man who ran the place, but he ran it right.

“Will 2025 have less layoffs?”

Gestures broadly at industry trends

No.

I wish I could sleep later than 8:30. Right now, attempting that gets a mass of fuzzy tumors attached to my face with noses and paws in my eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth.

It’s the best way to wake up.

Maybe he’s happier as the goblin. Has anyone asked his opinion?

This is why witches get a bad rep. Everyone jumps to “Oh, she bound his soul into a doll”, like, have you seen the world around you?

What sounds more appealing, this hellhole, or getting carried around and snuggled for eternity?

Fuck it, putting myself in a doll, someone come pick me up.

It’s hard, especially when you become aware of it. You have to try to build motivation out of what feels like nothing.

You’ve probably heard this before, but does it help breaking things into smaller steps? It’s something that really worked for me when I was having the depression slump into anxiety panic-rush.

Start with something already quick and easy, and cut it into more steps. If it takes you 5 minutes, see if you can cut it into two parts. It can seem illogical, but giving yourself those little breaks can help build a mental muscle, a way of showing yourself “Hey, I can do this” without being overwhelming, and giving yourself plenty of time if you need more in-between, especially at first.

Small goals are still accomplishments, especially when it’s the best we can do, and a little victory can go a long way.

(And, of course, when/if you can, professional help can be amazing. It can suck trying to find a good doctor, but once you do, it really can change things.)

Depression can hit this way, too. You can be apathetic towards everything, no motivation, stuck in your head. It can be easy to get caught in a downward spiral, trapped in the vortex of negativity you no longer feel in control of.

Hey, it’s still being productive.

Your brain is producing serotonin. Especially when it inevitably switches over to a How Its Actually Made episode.

Be the reason rules are made.

Just not in the “factories require fire extinguishers because of your lack of safety” way.

I’m surprised it took this long.

I expected this to be one of the first features Musk demanded. Why else would we use Twitter, if not to know his thoughts every second of the day?

European?

I thought he was Egyptian.

Blunt instrument.

One of the many obscure, mostly forgotten philosophers as college students thinking Philosophy was going to be an easy A absolutely butcher their language and thought.

I would go ahead and grab them, especially if they’re also still on sale, as a lot is unlocked immediately(the three masteries, you can enter Forgotten Gods content at any point by talking to an NPC. AoM requires beating the base game to start its act).

The entire game is a series of chained together escort quests through dangerous territories, at awkward speed.

With extremely frequent pauses so the NPCs can spend 40 seconds fawning over the exact same flower they saw two feet back.
