My SO has been using ASMR with some ear buds for years. It occupies her mind and helps her relax enough to fall asleep. Great stuff.

She also needs her fan... Or some other form of white noise. It may be an ADHD thing.

Sperm confetti.

I'm intrigued. And although I read the article, I'm not entirely sure who or what this is for. It's cool, but... what?

The general attitude that "British English is correct" and Americans are wrong, is one of the most absurd things I've ever experienced. English is inconsistent enough as it is, so don't claim your inconsistency of spelling and pronunciation is somehow superior. Believe it or not, withing linguistics you don't make the rules.

I've had a consistently unbiased experience with Tangle: https://www.readtangle.com/about/

Wellll I don't entirely agree. Ever been to IKEA and had a cart full of furniture? It takes every bit of strength my strong body can manage to take a turn without sliding out of control sideways and knocking over five display units and three children. The non-turning back wheels make turns more manageable. Carts should work like cars, front wheels turn, back wheels don't. I submit this comment as sacrifice.

I'm clearly out of touch with the world. Over half of these got an audible groan out of me when I watched the trailers.

Strictly from a viewer's perspective, I use a YouTube client alternative (like GrayJay, Freetube, NewPipe) and subscribe only to the channels I want to see content from. Then I can look at video suggestions for given videos to see relevant content. This entirely removes me from the algorithm as well as any personalization that would put me in an echo chamber. I also branch out to reliable and unbiased news sources, better search engine alternatives, and so on.

Lord of the Rings (movies) came out this century. Let's give credit where credit is due.

LadyBird can't come soon enough.

I'm both surprised and not surprised. Considering I've purchased the game three times, maybe I shouldn't be.

I love the game, but did admittedly struggle for one reason: regular enemies are pretty easy, then you'll be hit with a boss that stonewalls you. There's no build up in difficulty. Enemies = trivial. Bosses = ludicrous. Additionally bosses are often a battle of attrition, and I don't have the sanity to last several minutes engaged in the same attack pattern.
