      Oh wow. I saw a shot of his Easter blessing and thought he looked shit. Poor old fella. I think he was one of the (few) good ones.

        Me too. This one was at least progressive in some ways and could have offered some protection in the face of advancing fascism :(

          I read he recently assigned (annointed/annnounced) a bunch of new Cardinals - mostly from emerging nations across Africa and Oceania. Also ensuring that 80%+ of the conclave will be cardinals that he approves of. That bodes well at least. Though having grown up around the church I don’t hold a lot of hope in those guys.

      Sent a cardinal to lecture vance, turns out he was on his deathbed. Chose not to spend his final hours with vance. Top call.

        Smart move.

        That would have been one of the worst ways to spend his last hours considering their past meetings have been not so great.

    I was right.

    Was doubling up.

    Good I know now, but can’t help but feel annoyed at the years of unnecessary anxiety lol

    Edit: surprisingly more focused and motivated on half the dose. I’m still a bit shocked at what’s been happening this whole time. 🤦

        I think so because my body isn’t as tense. I actually feel relaxed for the first time in half a decade lol

        But in all seriousness, it’ll be an adjustment. I’m glad I figured it out.

      Agreed. I had a tiny one with a dvd player and after that was gone accidentally bought a huge tv online with a player that doesn’t seem to function.

      I think I’m gonna just sell it on and use the desktop to watch dvds if need be. As I put a cd drive in when I built it. Clunky but eh.

          After the they played golf I dropped it and found it hard to continue.

            Yeah, I’ve played through the game three times now and episode 2 takes a big leap into zombie warfare well past what the game does. Highly recommend.

          I’m definitely accidentally throwing them off.

          My senior cat sometimes gets pumpkin baby food to keep her regular and I bought a bib to keep spat out medicine off her fur. Gentle unscented soap and detergent for me. The ads for prenatal vitamins and pregnancy tests are going wild.

          When I buy a tool it’s all macho car ads.

          I seem to get alcohol, fast food and gambling ads regardless

          And they keep advertising things I can’t eat

            My best example of this was discussing a friend’s cat named Noodles. Shortly after, I got a bunch of ads for various asian restaurants and also ads for flea powder. Granted, the algae-rhythm was young, buuuuut …

    A bit of rain - finally! Watering the garden should have worked, but I did pack away the big hose from the front garden so maybe that jinxed it. Grateful for all we get though. It’s just been so so dry - it’s far past the usual time for the autumn break.
