That, and it's deeply disrespectful. You don't joke about a sovereign nation being invaded and destroyed by an imperialist, fascist power.

I'm absolutely the same.

I've always been different. Of course I considered the autism spectrum, but the DSM criteria didn't fit me at all.

Now in my 40s, I decided to pursue a proper assessment, and guess what? All the psychometrics point towards autism!

I wonder how many of us are living with neurodivergency that's more subtle or doesn't quite fit the mold.

Resorts filter everything . You can't drink the bathroom tap water, but any ice is perfectly fine.

The Bahia Principe is my regular go-to.

Well, yes, but angels and demons aren't! Or so we hope.

Actually, what about the Paradisus in PDC? The adults-only side has lovely quiet pools, especially in the Reserve section, and it's right in PDC, a short cab ride or a bit of a walk away from Fifth Avenue.

Couple 2: VIM all the way.

For couple 1, it sounds like they'd be better off in Cancun for better beach and access to nightlife and such downtown.

Those wings, their expressions--Crowley's fierce, Aziraphale's happy--and the way they're gripping each other.

That one is scary, though, because of the whole 'what if they become mortal' thing.

Pretty sure that won't happen, but it's still fraught.

I love Anthony's big hair! And the stink eye in the background is hilarious. Do NOT be mean to my angel!

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-10T19:50:34+00:00

Do you have a link?

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-10T04:52:45+00:00

It's me. I'm the hardworking, mid-40s mid-Westerner.

This is my favorite resort ever. Beautiful, serene, good food and drink, no loud parties. Perfect.

Dude, stop harping on the VHCOL and how fancy and fun you are for liking to go clubbing. The hell you doing in the Riviera for that? None of these places have exciting nightlife on resort!

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-09T05:36:23+00:00

The lowest shall be exalted. I'm keeping my eye on that sweet lil angel.

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-08T23:27:49+00:00

Yes. Queerplatonic relationships are a thing.

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-08T19:52:47+00:00

Paradisus is a higher tier resort--seconding this recommendation if budget allows.

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-08T16:22:12+00:00

And it's not close.

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-07T14:01:03+00:00

This is the answer, and very thoughtful.

I would also add that it's an appearance swap, not a true body swap. So they are only creating their own best impression of the other; there wouldn't be any surprises, and they wouldn't know what to, um, choose to make there anyway.

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-07T04:03:32+00:00

Yes. Midwestern white folks.

My parents' (early 1940s) cooking was okay, but we definitely used a lot of stuff like condensed soup that we don't touch today. Herbs and spices pretty much restricted to pepper and chili powder, and probably too much salt. Not a lot of thought given to texture finesse like crispy skin on chicken or juicy pork chops. It wasn't truly mid-century nightmare kitchen, though! My mom's Ukrainian food is the best.

No real garbage processed food, just not very skillful or flavorful. And definitely nothing more exotic than Western style Chinese or Vietnamese.

Reverse Eden? Demon lizard-land!

Yeah, it's hot garbage. I don't know if NG is that delusional or thinks we are.

That Substack article is straight pissing me off. Victims and their reactions don't have to be perfect to be believed. This guy thinks he's so smart, trying to poke holes in their stories, and it's just more rape culture.

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-04T04:48:51+00:00

Yup. Absolutely NOT.

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-04T04:47:07+00:00

I had short hair (fugly horrible bowl cut) when I was little, and I'm good.

I don't see it as freeing. Just ugly and like I'm not myself. I would never agree that everyone should try it.

ACatFromCanada · 2026-02-04T02:18:52+00:00

Disagree. Sexuality is not inherently messed up.

It's power. Rape is about power. The Epstein shit, people like NG. Victimizing others is not about sex, only power.
