I just really appreciate how much work you're putting into the community here. Very thankful

This was in my opinion one of the worst Snatch Games. Even the top two I didn't really find to be that funny in most of the screen time shown. Maybe I'm being a Jimbo simp, but I think having seen her do Shirley Temple made Hannah's compare poorly. It was so sad to see Keta go. Her drag is incredible and she seemed like she had more of a chance of winning than Gothy. I think Tia's question for Gothy about if she'll get past the block on the show was a great one, but then she didn't follow through with the information given. No hate to any of the queens. We'll miss you Keta!

I loved seeing Chad again!! Overall I think the snatch game was pretty good. I don't think anyone was amazing, but I didn't cringe through most of it like the last few snatch games I've watched.

Three reunions had me fully crying. I really love the way the judges interact on CDR. Having done so many lip syncs, I imagine it's hard to keep surprising everyone for Nearah lol.

In a lot of countries (Northern Hemisphere) Summer is the holiday season, but that has never been my experience in the US. So it might not be as strange from that perspective.

Oh no sorry. It has creators and users that business model you described afaik. There are some creators on Nebula that are also on YouTube. Nebula is not a program to watch stuff on YouTube

Nebula does this. I really like the platform except there aren't comments. Sometimes I like reading the comments on a video

Oh apologies! There are a lot of event chains all over the Orr maps (Southern Tyria). You can most likely run around those maps and constantly find events. The temple meats are chained events as well

Not sure what level of content you're looking for and what reason, but I'll give it a go. The Heart of Thorns maps (apart from Dragon's Stand) all follow the "event chain" model. You can see the tower icons on the map to find where the event currently going is. After you complete a chain, there are normally a few more harder events afterwards. I'm not sure I'd consider them fast if the goal was just number of events. This is also true for the "mini zones" in the SotO maps. There's an event in Thunderhead Peaks (in one of the puzzle rooms) to kill 1 elite that can be spammed over and over again (easy way to finish the Return To achievement)

It really affects new players like you're saying. As a long time player with stacks of XP books, I didn't notice it. I imagine for players who want to get to max ASAP, it's nice. For players who like the grind and want to compete a map before moving on, it might feel a bit strange to level so fast. I think with level scaling, it probably doesn't make too much of a negative for anyone.

These are so cool looking!

So small!! Look at them go

I've enjoyed it so far... Maybe I'm not being as analytical as you, but for $25 I've gotten a lot of enjoyment so far.

Oh no! I had no idea they like these. We've got squirrels everywhere, but thankfully they've left our stuff alone.

That's really inspirational, thank you!!

It is!! Good eye! I've heard you can make tea with it, but was too nervous to try lol. We planted it along with some other native pollinators to help the ecosystem. (Even if it's insignificant)

Ya, feed trolling is often the source of a lot of stress and outrage. It's designed that way

That's awesome!! Thanks mids and Penguin :)

Disclaimer: living in USA. I used to doom scroll a lot a few years ago... What helped me was initially leaving the feeds (head in the sand as you say), but this was not a good permanent solution. Since then, I have done a few things that have helped (your mileage may vary depending on what you're trying to stay informed about). The first and easiest was to switch how I was getting my news. Now, I will get international news from different country's sources (ie:https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/world-int.html or https://www.channelnewsasia.com/world). I'll swap up which one I go to each day normally. It's interesting seeing world news from different perspectives. If I find a story that is particularly interesting, I'll look more into it. Secondly, I believe it is often more important to be aware of your local news than anything. To that end, I follow quite a few local sources of news. Most are hinted with my interests (urbanist improvements, community meetings, local discord servers), but some are more general. Also, I listen to a few podcasts not aimed at news, but as a queer person consuming queer media I occasionally hear things I didn't know. Promptly, I might look into it more. My motto is if something sounds really crazy, it's probably being misconstrued. You're never going to be informed on everything, but if you want to get less biased news, there are ways. Hope some of this helps in any way

Not to add to your fears, but wisdom teeth surgery is also where a lot of people first interact with prescription pain medication. Depending on your situation and doctor, you can receive anything from higher strength ibuprofen or Tylenol to Percosets. Try to be mindful of how powerful pain medication is and if you can have someone you trust with you it's even better. Overall, it's not a very scary procedure and you'll be fine :)
