Elmo's father wears clothes... So why doesn't Elmo?

So their species is capable of wearing and understanding clothes. This implies Elmo is naked by choice, rather than convention. Or maybe Elmo's dad is an eccentric among their kind.

Why does the dad wear clothes but his son does not?

[####] Stuck behind paywall?

I can't play today's wordle. Every time I try I get paywalled behind "sign up for a seven day trial or pay us our absurdly expensive subscription" screen. RIP wordle, latest victim of enshittification.

What even goes on in Mad Men?

And why do people love this show?

I'm like three episodes in and there's no plot, just a bunch of unlikable douchebags doing petty office scheming. Are we supposed to care about any of this? I have never seen a show so hyped only to be so... Whelmed.

What's the point of this show?

How do you pronounce Jas?

Is it short for Jasmine, and therefore pronounced like Jazz (the music)?

Or is it pronounced like Jahz with the short A sound, akin to Jaws 🦈?

Jass? (Rhymes with grass?)

Or is it the soft J like in Spanish?, yielding Yazz, Yahz, etc?

Is there an official source or answer on this?

Is Marnie's Ranch ever open and is Lewis embezzling town funds to keep her perpetually closed business solvent?

Seriously she's closed four days a week how does she stay in business?

And why is Mayor Lewis there so often? Why does the town have no functioning infrastructure?

It's because he's stealing the tax revenue and using it to enable him and Marnie to live lives of leisure where she only has to work fifteen minutes a week.

Games that scratch the same itch as Old School Runescape?

Every now and then I'll get the itch to play OSRS game but every time I do I am reminded why I lost interest the previous time. I'm not here to debate what's wrong with OSRS or why I quit, feel free to disagree with me.

​

But I do miss it sometimes. Are there any newer games that have similar design or mechanics that scratch the same casual grinding itch as OSRS?

I hate how they massacred Dio in Hades 2.

He went from my second favorite god in one to a moderately useless helper in two. His offerings aren't good, and in terms of story he has basically none. How did he go from the lovably zany and chaotic ally and friend of Zag who trolls Orpheus and offers excellent boons to a once-per-run helper with no personality and boons so bad I skip his rooms as often as not?
