Fully automated... what now?

What do you do after completely automating your restaurant? Franchise and do it all again? Just sit and wait and see how long it can go on for? At this point I'm completely hands-off besides the research desks, and I got the achievement for not leaving my starting tile for a whole day, but it's getting kinda boring just watching the game play itself for me lol

Has anyone been to Credit Union 1 Amphitheater in Tinley Park, IL and can explain to me how everything works?

Sorry if this post is not appropriate for the subreddit, if it is not, please take it down.

In a couple weeks, I will be driving 7 hours from the Minneapolis area to Tinley Park, Illinois in order to attend the Evanescence/Spiritbox concert happening at Credit Union 1 Amphitheater. I have road tripped and stayed in a hotel by myself before, so I am not worried about that part. I have also been to a concert by myself before, but I've never been to an amphitheater, and I'm not sure how different it is compared to an arena.

I'm mildly autistic, and while I am fully capable of functioning and figuring things out by myself for the most part, I highly prefer to have things thoroughly explained to me. Since I am coming from out of state, I've obviously never been to this venue before, or even the city, so all of this is going to be new and unfamiliar.

With all of that said, would anyone be kind enough to explain to me:

- How parking works, which street I should aim to come from, do I need cash or card, etc.

- Once parked, where should I go to enter the venue. Will it be obvious?

- What is the restroom situation? Are restrooms plentiful and in convenient locations?

- After the show, how long does it normally take to leave the parking lot and get back on the road?

- I've never been to an amphitheater before. Is it open air? Do you recommend I bring a jacket in case it gets chilly as it gets darker?

Thank you in advance to anyone who puts up with me and answers my questions. I am definitely more excited than nervous, but as much info as I can get will help soothe my anxious mind.

It should not be possible to activate the dishwasher with clean dishes in it.

Because what do you MEAN you're gonna run another wash cycle on already clean dishes just because I misclicked?! What purpose is this serving, besides killing my run?

Old tutorials no longer work for automating bread?

Hey! Trying to automate bread for a sandwich shop, and I ran into a problem where even though I got my setup to look exactly how the tutorials look (flour>grabber>sink+combiner>grabber>safety hob>grabber>freezer>portioner) it doesn't work. The issue is with the combiner not turning the flour into dough. I ended up working around this by using a mixer instead of a sink and combiner, then using an extra smart grabber to take the pie crust that it makes when the system gets backed up and puts it in a compactor bin. Is this the way we do it now or did I do something wrong with the first method?

The following screenshot is from a youtube video from about 3 years ago. Is this outdated?

What even is the purpose of this?

I haven't played Roblox in probably 1 - 2 years. Logged in for the first time in a while to send my little brother some robux. Having one captcha is reasonable, but why 7??? And I had to switch to the audio challenge because the visual one was genuinely too confusing and difficult for me. I feel like this makes it impossible for people with disabilities to log in. I got through the audio version but again, the amount of work it took is crazy for a captcha. What if someone worse off than me just couldn't do it? Would they just not be able to play Roblox anymore?

Weird detail I noticed in the movie

In the scene where Mary enters the furniture store, her hair is in a ponytail. Then at some point in this scene, when she goes downstairs and it cuts to a different camera angle, her hair is down. I could've missed it, but, I don't think we see at what point she took her hair down. And I can't tell if that was intentional or not.

It could be some sort of symbolism, like maybe taking down her ponytail marks the exact moment her life and worldview changed forever. From that point on she's not the same person she was before.

But I also wonder if the hairstyle difference was just an oversight due to shooting the same scene on multiple different days.

Or maybe she (Mary) wasn't even the one who took down her ponytail and it was some backrooms supernatural force that did it when she got close enough to the entrance? She didn't notice because she was too focused/scared?

Do people need periods of hardship or mediocracy to be truly happy?

I feel like it's dangerous and unhealthy to be 100% happy and content 100% of the time. I'm thinking about that episode of The Good Place, where the people in "the good place" who have been there for so many years, basically turned into mindless zombies because they experienced constant euphoria with zero challenge.

When I think about my own life, I realize that I appreciate the good parts of it more because I've had hardships. Some examples:

- My favorite songs are so good only because the other songs I listen to don't hit as hard.

- My favorite foods are only my favorites because I don't eat them that often, because if I did I would get sick of them eventually

- I get this thing that I call "post-sickness high," basically when I've had a virus or something and I start to feel better, I get into a really good mood because I missed the feeling of being healthy/normal

To clarify: I believe that food, housing, and healthcare should be freely and easily accessible to everyone, and I hope that I live long enough to see our society get there. However, I think it's really healthy for bad things to occasionally happen to people. Like getting sick, going through a breakup, having an argument with a friend, stubbing your toe, etc.

My ideal world would be one where pain exists, but nobody experiences poverty, homelessness, and starvation.

I tried making Courtney in Paralives

I think she's so cute, what would you change if anything? I'm not the best at recreating real people in life sims, but I think I did alright!

This episode broke me

For context, I watched this show with my mom when I was like 9, when it was airing. It seemed interesting so I decided to rewatch on my own now that I'm in my 20's, especially because I can understand the mature stuff that I didn't get as a kid lol. Before rewatching I remembered only the general plotline of season 1 and 2, so beyond that, is new to me for the most part.

So I'm in early season 7 now. I don't know what number episode it was but I just finished the one where Belle grows old and passes away. Honestly? That broke me. I cried for most of the episode, even in the beginning because once she and Rumple got to the edge of realms and started building their house, I remembered what that plotline was leading up to.

I cried (I'm still crying as I type this) worse for Belle than any other dead character in this show. She's not even my favorite character but I think it's because her relationship with Rumple was so chaotic, beautiful, and weirdly rewarding, and I felt bad for Rumple. Being immortal and being forced to watch your true love grow old and pass on and having no way to do the same? Saddest thing I can ever imagine.

I know it's still very early in the season so obviously I don't know what happens next and how this plotline resolves, but as of right now, broken is the best word I can use to describe what this episode made me feel. Like, I know it just a show and it doesn't impact my life at all but I'm just like damn. I guess the story touched me. The only other tv character I've cried harder over is the dad from young sheldon lmao
