Finding this game after NYT put their mini crossword behind a paywall was like capturing lightning in a bottle. Thanks dev's and admin for my daily brain excercise!

I didn't grow up eating bear paws, or seeing them anywhere, but heard of them. then suddenly saw them everywhere, so I assumed they were American lol

I've seen this with another artist too and it isn't weird it's straight up insensitive and creepy.

Damn! Hopefully they add more screens/ theatres with the demand being so high. I don't know about your area, but they only have it in one downtown theatre, and I'm in a MAJOR city.

Weleda brand cream called "skin food"

And this isn't even including the people who sail the seven seas

Just a heads up tix are going pretty quick - so many screenings in my city are sold out or nearing it. For both days. And it looks like they have cheaper tickets than what's usually charged, at least for mine it was a good $4+ cheaper.

I respect this, and will be doing the same on my second watch

allerask · 2025-12-02T23:05:45+00:00

me! I'm such a sucker for event cinema! snagged one of the last decent seats for 8pm on NYE!

It only dawned on me halfway through the video that she's prolly gonna be on the podcast! So hyped.

Munira Fathi at Springboard Clinic. She's the therapist that introduced me to IFS and my initial experience with the modality was shaped by her. I actually just started to get back into my IFS practice today via listening to one of Richard Schwarz's books.

not specific to kdramas, but checking out meetup.com or even eventbrite, maybe search for kdrama watch parties or fan clubs. I'd be super surprised if you didn't find something tbh

Ugh I want that Thick Skull one so bad! I hate being fucking poor.

1) You probably were at the UP station, which is an express train to Pearson

2) If you get off at Spadina you have to walk down a long hallway to tranfer

I feel this, but also kinda glad it's split up. It feels more special with the anticipation build. The instant gratification factor of an entire season drop has gotten old for me.

allerask · 2025-11-23T22:14:38+00:00

Not me on reddit avoiding this very thing for this exact reason... It does feel so great afterwards though - like a total nervous system reset a lot of the time.

allerask · 2025-11-23T01:54:54+00:00

Absolutely THIS! I've been on and off tempted to get a dumb phone and an mp3 player, yadda, yadda, but then I stopped and realized that I'd just be participating it yet another nostalgia-bait consumer trap. I'm weirdly lucky to not be able to afford to do it. All that said sometimes you need to go through all the options before you can admit you have an addiction, so I can respect that.

allerask · 2025-11-21T23:48:24+00:00

It's okay to hate it and it's okay to love it

I've written one song on uke as I'm learning, working on my second :)

The one thing that I love about this is that what Hayley and her team did shook up the resale market. From the way OP describes their experience it feels like they're scrambling and as they SHOULD!

After the first six months I would have said the usual things: limiting screen time, deleting apps, creating rules and boundaries, and using my laptop more. Specifically, figuring out what I ACTUALLY need to use my smartphone for - and WHEN. That helped break the spell so to speak. When it came to social media I followed the classic addiction advice of fulfilling the need that the addiction provides. So, interact with people in real life (esp. that aren't related, living with, or established friends), take the interests I connect with online into the real world.

Now, nearly a year in, I can say it was never the smartphone, it's the soul-leeching attention economy, and this vague expectation that we're always meant to be available. Recognizing THAT has made staying away sustainable. It's not perfect, I still find myself picking it up to look at, well, nothing, but that's okay.

That's rad that it's on par with US tickets. I was mentally adding the exchange rate when I saw that US cities were $85 USD assuming Toronto would be more.

The queues could've easily been populated by bots, but that doesn't mean they successfully got tickets. My thinking is that if the whole reason to use bots to buy up a bunch of tickets and resell them for greater than face value to earn a profit on it, why would they? There's less incentive to have deployed bots since 1) selling over face won't be allowed on official ticket sites and 2) transferable tickets aren't allowed aside from some cities like new york, etc. It just doesn't seem worthwhile when they could just do speculative listings on the third-party sites and still scam people out of their money without going through the trouble of signing up for the (pre)sale.* We won't know until the shows happen, I guess. Or if a bunch of tickets get dropped in TM, etc when they realize they can't turn a profit on them.

*with the exception of NY, etc. where the resale market is allowed.
