Just to clarify: nothing against anyone who /enjoys/ difficult games, I just dislike the attitude that tends to come with it

"This game is too hard, the enemies are unreasonably difficult and the devs gave me no room for error"
"well that sounds like a skill issue"
Perhaps, but the root of the problem is that /the game is too fucking difficult to be considered reasonable and genuinely fun/

I keep seeing ads for “Smart Rings”, and the concept terrifies me.

How do you deal with thermal runaway when the battery decides to have a bad day on your finger? What if it swells? You can’t just cut it off without risking a thermal event either.

Just seems like another shiny Thing You Really Don’t Need™️ that also seems like a really bad idea if you think about it more than a few months into the future.

starting to think that the villagers who say my character in Critter Cove "seems like the kind of girl who knows the importance of a 'sweet jiggly cake'" aren't talking about literal cakes.

Okay, can barely move without being in agony from all this chaos and lack of sleep.

So very exhausted from having to get up early every day this week so that the Housing Authority can remodel the kitchen, and their contractors are not great.
Been without hot water/central heating as the electrician never bothered to wire up the gas isolator thing. Apparently they should never have left us without hot water/heating.
So now I get to be up early on Saturday so they can send round the electrician to fix it out-of-hours.
I'm so incredibly shattered... mentally and physically.

If you see someone clearly presenting as one gender, but have a number of physical features of a different gender, no you didn't see those incongruous features. You just treat them normal.

Happy international Men's day. Especially to all of the transgender men out there.

Doctors in China have used lab-grown insulin-producing cells to treat a woman with type 1 diabetes. The cells were made from her own tissue, reprogrammed into stem cells, and then grown into tiny clusters that release insulin. A year after the transplant, her blood sugar remains normal without medication. It’s the first time in history that a person with type 1 diabetes has been freed from insulin injections using cells made from their own body. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8

(in a philomena cunk voice) in germany, most passengers already expect their train to be cancelled. hence why, when the train is actually not cancelled, the displays will show a warning that the train is actually in service.
