I didn’t completely checked out during the smoking man episodes, but it was close.
I wonder if now that I could binge the entire series if it would be different? Waiting perhaps months between plot-points just never worked for me.

Occasional reminder that Grammarly once tried to get me to post a graph on my blog proving men are better writers than women and they wanted to pay me for it with an Amazon gift card.

It makes no sense to frame this as some sort of correction β€” adequate nutrition is more important for kids with health conditions, not less.

The artistic freedom of game developers is fundamental to games as a cultural medium. Any restrictions improsed by payment service providers or games platforms must not exceed the legal limits.
In Germany, thanks in part to the USK, clear, binding and established rules apply that must be adhered to. Furthermore, creative forms of expressions or certain themes in games, such as diversity, must not be targeted by individual interests or campaigns from particularly vocal groups, as is currently observed on Steam or itch.io. The terms and conditions of global payment service providers such as Visa, Mastercard, or Paypal must not conflict with European values such as freedom of expression or artistic freedom.
We therefore call on the companies involved to design their rules and offerings in a manner that ensures complicance with applicable laws and prevents overblocking.

I say this as someone who regularly has to hear the rhetoric of "you've got to acknowledge what Hulk Hogan did for the industry" - fuck Hulk Hogan, fuck his racist, lying, union-busting, talent-burying, backstage politicking ways, and fuck the racist bastards who're shooting a child's memorial.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.
