This is fanfiction, George never sees the mirror. Apparently in the last film it was a background prop in the Room of Requirement, which suggests it gets destroyed in that fire, but unless there was some post-release Pottermore shit it doesn't show up after the first book.

On work days I always get a good 7-8 hours, but if I'm not working I very rarely manage more than 3-4, it's as if my brain feels like it's wasting the day. I'm one of those people who can operate comfortably on very little sleep. I use a sleep cycle alarm that is supposed to wake me when it senses I'm only sleeping lightly or something, no idea if any of that stuff's real/helpful but it can't hurt. I also maintain a healthy weight (I used to be overweight) which keeps pressure off my neck and reduces snoring & breathing interruptions, that definitely helps with feeling rested.

Once in a blue moon my body decides to sleep about 9 hours longer than planned to catch up on missed sleep, but I either rarely feel particularly tired or I've been doing this long enough that I don't remember what being properly awake felt like 🤷‍♂️

You did it, you saved Palestine. Bravo!

I haven't really been keeping up with DC since whatever the New 52 rebooted into, but I'm interested in these Absolute comics. Wonder Woman was cool and Batman was... so anyway I'm looking forward to Superman.

I'm surprised the end is so high. I've seen the first 3 or 4 seasons a bunch of times because I'd rewatch them as background noise between seasons, but I remember really not liking the final season. I can't remember any specifics because it's been so long, but I haven't gone back and watched it again since it came out because it was so disappointing. I do remember not liking Liz's boyfriend at all, and for some reason I hated the final episode.

I've been watching the show with my partner recently, but we're only half a dozen episodes in because it's just filler for when we're not in the mood for an episode of something heavier.

That's good, but what exactly is the cutoff line? Tucker toured with fuckin Clive Palmer just a few months ago, and I'd take Owens over him any day.

He knows it and he did it intentionally, but the people laughing at him are his imagination. He's projected these thoughts onto them because he feels self-conscious, nobody said a word to him. It's just as likely the woman was laughing because she's on the phone, or the man was smirking at something on a podcast he's got playing.

Edit: Will you people stop telling me you laugh at Cybertrucks. I don't care, that's not the point.

I realized she was laughing derisively. She was like, “What kind of person would drive something like that?” Or, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.”

Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something, but I’m pretty sure I saw what I saw. Then today, I was at a four-way stop, and a guy in a Nissan Titan/Toyota Tundra or something smiled and then chuckled like: “What a tool.” Or, who would drive something like that?”

Mate, these thoughts are in your head. My partner has bouts of anxiety where she assumes people are always thinking the worst of her, so I'm hesitant to make fun of the dude because I've seen what it can do to someone, but he's clearly bought a dumbass car to get attention and now he's feeling insecure about it. It's sad.

These comics are from the Onion iirc, they're intentionally shit takes.

The tweet linked in the article is from a dude who bitches about the "uglification of women" in games and Ubisoft being too focused on DEI. The post the article is about is clearly talking about people like him. The fact that there's only one other comment here calling this out tells me either nobody actually looked into this at all because you're all too excited to dogpile Ubisoft and don't even care why, or you agree. Both are worrying.

That's because people were going on with high expectations, right? I haven't seen it (yet?) but Morbius and Madame Web both got C+ and I'd be surprised if it's actually worse than those. Although I'd be more interested if it really is that much of a trainwreck tbh, I liked the first movie well enough but didn't think it needed a sequel, I was just going to pirate it next time I was bored at work.

That's a cool idea, thanks. I'll probably have forgotten all about this by the next time it starts so it should be a nice surprise.
