Which Life Pro Tip disappointed you?
I went to a furniture store with a friend to pass the time before she had to pick up her boyfriend up from work, and we were looking at the mattresses since she was thinking about buying a new one. The Purple mattresses were consistently disgusting feeling. They were made out of gel material and felt like those stress balls you get out of a gumball machine. I decided to test what it's like falling into the bed and as soon as my arms touched the mattress I knew it was a mistake. It felt like nails on a chalkboard. I would never be able to sleep in one of those beds unless I was wearing long sleeves, and maybe not even then. If I had a girlfriend who had one of those beds, I'd rather fuck her on the floor or just have her come to my place exclusively. They were also selling pillows from the same company, and they were heavy and the texture was even more noticeable.

Kbin: What is your all time favourite video game?
The Sims 2 was really cheesy but had a lot of in-depth gameplay that balanced it out. The only thing better was The Sims 3, but it didn’t have as much charm.

I always turn them on because otherwise I’ll miss key pieces of information and just get confused.

I haven’t tried Dr Shasta but I do like their cola. How does it compare to the other Dr Pepper knockoffs?

What kind of jelly do you use for your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
I don't usually use jelly, and put honey on it instead.

What's your most-loved non-star movie/show?
I loved Altered Carbon. Also, if you guys like anime, Psycho-Pass was really cool. If you like slow paced but atmospheric shows with a lot of connecting events and don’t mind watching a show in another language (German), then I would really recommend Dark.

If they came to power again but with access to people’s 23andMe or Ancestry results, things would get really scary very fast. Most white people I know who took it aren’t actually 100% white, including myself. I’m a little bit black. It’s just not enough that I would justify changing what I’m listed as on documents.

What's your favorite movie/serie/TV show opening credit ?
The opening for the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime (Ready Steady Go by L’Arc-En-Ciel) is burned into my mind forever. For some reason it makes me cry a little bit now.

we all have a comfort chair, tell me I'm wrong
I have a gaming chair, but I have to put a Mexican blanket over it because I sweat a lot if I just sit directly on the fake leather.

Sell Me On Your Shows
In The Flesh is a zombie show about what happens after they develop a cure for zombism and reintegrate them back into society. Unlike most modern zombie settings, "Partially Deceased Syndrome Sufferers" are your classic "crawling out of the grave" type of undead that aren't capable of spreading it through bites. Instead, if they eat a person, that person just dies. On top of this, scientists only know how to treat it through an injectable medicine, but many physical effects of dying are permanent and they are capable of reverting back if they go off of their meds or take a drug called Blue Oblivion. Underneath their makeup and contacts, they still look like corpses and have some degree of decay. This leads people to be very cautious around PDS sufferers because they're unsure if they're taking the meds properly or worse- not absorbing them. There is a local militia called the HVF who used to actively fight the undead who are now adjusting to both civilian life and also the fact that the enemy is now considered human. They don't get much action anymore with the exception of catching the few untreated undead that still roam around in the wilderness and bringing them in for the reward, though this is a step up from their original stance of killing any they find included treated ones.
The show follows Kieren Walker as he returns to his family after years of being dead from a suicide at 18. His younger sister, Jem, was a member of the HVF and found him and another zombie eating her girlfriend, Lisa. Jem couldn't bring herself to kill either of them, and this led to them both being able to be treated. However, she struggles with the guilt that she could have done something to stop him from killing Lisa and is initially hostile towards him when he returns home. To complicate things, his old "hunting buddy" finds Kieren and introduces herself as Amy Dyer. She's an outspoken hippie who tries to seem like she doesn't care about what people think and believes people should get used to the situation. She also doesn't cover herself up with the makeup and contacts, while Kieren can't stand to look at himself without them. She's wild enough to push him outside his comfort zone so he can get comfortable with socializing with people again, and she becomes his best friend. His BDFF, (Best Dead Friend Forever) as she calls it.
There is a group called the Undead Liberation Army who are first introduced to Kieren by his roommate while he was still in the treatment facility. They live on a commune like peaceful hippies, but are extremist in their beliefs and want to cause the Second Rising to get revenge on the living. They are also creators of Blue Oblivion, the drug that can temporarily revert the user back into a predatory state before it wears off. They use it to coordinate terrorist attacks on the living, and his old roommate in the facility took the drug to attack the staff.
On the polar opposite side to the Undead Liberation Army, there is a political party called Victus who was formed in opposition to reintegrating the undead back into society. They gain political control over the town, and push an already hostile environment even further.

Getting bike lanes built quickly and cheaply
A lot of the reason I've put off buying a bike is that most of the bike lanes were either nonexistent or painted ones that abruptly ended whenever there's an intersection. I personally knew a little kid who got hit riding through the neighborhood, and whoever hit him sped off. Luckily he survived, but he very easily could have died if they hit him at a higher speed. Drivers just normalize being impatient way too much nowadays (especially after the pandemic) that you can't trust people to obey things like painted lines. You need barriers, even if they're cheap temporary solutions.

A while ago I sent my friends the covers of the Game Informer magazine that came out the month and year they were born. It was a cool thing to see. Sort like like the cooler version of a Zodiac sign, but only works if you're in your 20s or early 30s.
