People who 5 star really fucking sad movies on Netflix just because they're really fucking sad. Thanks, assholes. I just cried my damn afternoon away.

RE: Do you believe in paranormal things?
No.
But that doesn't mean the thought of creepy paranormal things doesn't give me the willies at night, alone, in the dark. So on some level, I guess my brain must be open to the possibility, however remote.
Maybe?

RE: Pokemon Go
This is no joke. I'm going to hell. Driving past a graveyard tonight. FULL of poke stops. And a gym.
... GUESS WHO'S GYM LEADER NOW BITCHES

RE: Pokemon Go
Tip: if you can hold a gym for 21 hours (enough to get through the cycle and get the 10 coins) don't collect right away. Instead, drive around and get in all the gyms close to you. Once you have as many as you can legit hold quickly, then collect. You'll get all the coins.

RE: Tea!
My favourite is a personal concoction! I use vanilla bean, and then loose leaf chamomile, lavender, and ginger all together. SO GOOD!

RE: Good or New Movies Review
Beauty and the Beast was fantastic! There was one particular "new" thing I thought wasn't necessary and kind of derailed it, but other than that? Really well done. The guy who played Gaston? On point. #TeamGaston

RE: Date Thenomain
It is a disturbingly feline list. But, we could rename you. CatMeg? MegKitten? PussyMeg? MegNip?

RE: RL Sads
My grandma taught me how to sew when I was younger and when she went blind she gave her old Singer machine to me. It's a really great machine, works as good as the day she bought it (some 50+ years ago) but can confirm, the manual is full of sexism.

RE: Random funny
You know, in case you ever wanted to hear Nickelback's 'Rockstar' as a slappin' sea shanty. You can thank me later when you can't sleep because it's stuck in your head

RE: Good TV
I am Canadian too, so I have to recommend Letterkenny as a prelude to Shoresy, seeing as how the latter is a spin-off of the former.
I'm on season 2 now. It's fucking brilliant.

RE: 2022: A New Year, New Dead Celebrities
Technoblade. RIP King.
Maybe not specifically a celebrity but a hard loss none the less for anyone in the Minecraft community. He was a legend and a huge part of this hobby, and his presence will be missed.
Fuck cancer.
Technoblade never dies. -
RE: Difficulty with Friend/Gamer
Displaying empathy and compassion for your friends is really important,definitely not a bad thing. And at the same time, shouldering another person's problems and absorbing their stress will eventually wear you out if it's happening a lot/you're not able to do the same in return.
There are a couple of strategies, like be supportive but put the responsibility back on their shoulders. Something like, "You're a smart person. I am confident you will figure this out and come out stronger than ever." Or whatever makes most sense for the situation.
You could also set boundaries/an alternative while still employing compassion. At a time (not game night, in the moment) you guys are just chill and hanging out or chatting, you could say something like 'Hey, you know I'm here for you, right? Why don't we set up a time to just chat and catch up about <insert issues> so that we can focus on stress free fun on game night?'
It's also really important you don't take on a role you're not qualified for. Suggest professional counselling and if they don't accept, at least you tried. If they blow up? It's tough but fair to recognize that not all friendships last. This person might not be a good fit for your life right now, and that's okay, too. It doesn't mean it's forever. It just means right now you also need to take care of yourself. It's not their fault. It's not your fault. It's just a crappy situation, as Faraday says.

RE: Random funny
Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in TV, but it's got a few good chuckles.
