Cash in your free two years of identityworks from whichever company leaked it, wait a while, cash in another two years from the next company that leaks it, wait a while, cash in another two years from the next company — you get the idea

The St. Anger snare is fine.

You mean like the collections of artists/authors?

I think Joe Pera Talks With You might fit this. He loves stuff like things that help people fall asleep, making a bean arch for his bean plants, and takes you through what he enjoys most about the grocery store, for example. It’s a pleasant, subtly funny, and gentle show.

They can always take a break in The Wiggler

Had two hamsters (Calvin and Hobbes) growing up. Both just got old and sick with old hamster stuff. Their deaths happened exactly the same way: my mom reaches into the cage because they haven’t been moving much for a while. Their last act of life is to bite her finger as hard as they can, so she naturally flings them at the wall in front of us kids. Splat.

Removing all distractions, which takes a bit of work. Covering every single source of light. Little indicator on my charger? Slapped electrical tape on it. Blackout curtains. Noise machine. The hardest one: Never using the bedroom for anything but sleeping. Not even a little peek at the phone and YouTube for a relaxing video. I have an analogue non-illuminated clock for daytime, and if I need to check the time in the dark, a Timex I can hit the glow button on. If I really can’t sleep, I get up and go into another room to read or listen to something.

You need to take a risk on some level, which probably isn’t what you want to hear, but other commenters have said as much. I think that even worse than a solid “no” is just not doing anything and getting up in your head about the what-ifs, and missing an opportunity entirely.

Can I still be the one person who makes all the posts on 4chan, prove me wrong?

Ron and Fez. A wealth of entertainment.

Ok!

Because GET BACK TO WORK

Dying for all the oil companies at once from weapons your own country funded is a patriot’s wet dream

I know this is a cop-out because of the vast number of other improvements to devices and infrastructure, but I really liked having a seemingly indestructible phone with a removable 10-day battery and an absolute death grip on that 2g/3g network.

I miss the OG Prey. That gravity was fun.
