So let's say I'm trying to do laundry right? I need to:

Pick up my clothes

Put them in the washer

Run the washer

And then somewhere in-between those steps, I realize that I'm in the kitchen and I JUST threw something in the air fryer. And I'm very big on not wasting food, so I eat whatever I can and save the rest for later, before trying to get back to laundry without eating this time

It happens with Chores, Shows, Video Games, Stress, Anything. It's like walking into a room and forgetting why you entered it, except it's with putting stuff in my mouth to chew on and eat

Any advice?

So I take the meds (Pills are easier, Needles are more effective), and then I change my diet and workout routine, and then the meds will HELP me lose weight rather than being the SOLE reason why I lose weight?

Is that correct, or am I missing something?

This is not a joke, I'm just autistic and like everyone being on the same page

So a family member of mine has recently passed. And I'm helping setting stuff up for the funeral. Obviously I would NOT suggest putting up an FAQ to those grieving, but I began to think about how I would want my funeral to go

Would it be insensitive to request an FAQ at my funeral? Specifically answering questions about who I was and if my immediate family needed help with anything. Just things to help reduce the same questions from being asked over and over again

Trust me, this post is relevant to this subreddit, and a question that I have about the show

So the idea behind Caped Crusader is that the writers take Batman villains, infamous, niche, or even deep cuts, and reimagine them in a more gangster or darker setting

One of these characters in Season 2 is The Riddler, who does Riddles. He is normally a cool headed genius who wants to show off how smart he is. But in this show, he's a hot headed psychopath who will shoot and kill anyone he doesn't like for any reason (real Joker vibes)

In the above episode, 2 guys are having a conversation, and one of them casually drops that he met a guy who "Would shoot up so many joints, they'd call him 'The Riddler'", as in, one who puts a lot of holes in something (riddled with bullets)

That leads me to my question: His name is has obviously been translated into other languages before right? He's The Riddler. One of the most iconic Batman Villains of all times. But the justification of that name AND personality shift is packed into an off-handed conversation between 2 people

If you were in charge of translation, how would you make sure that his name would still make sense with how it was translated, while also slipping the justification of keeping his name the same despite the dramatic personality shift?

There is typically a creative advantage for individuals/independent studios making a creative work rather than a board room/major company making a creative work. This is usually because of The Ice Cream Principle, which is described as such;

“Tell 10 people to go get ice cream with one condition: they all have to agree on one flavor. The flavor is going to be chocolate or vanilla every time. Groups of people don’t agree on what’s cool or interesting, they agree on what’s easy to agree on.”-Eli Altman

Because there's less people to go through/please in independent studios, they can explore more unique and creative ideas

Twitch chat however, is made up of thousands of people who can all influence any given dougdoug stream. And yet, they tend to be SUPER chaotic and unpredictable

So naturally a question came to me: what about the Twitch streams (specifically DougDoug's streams) that makes it so creative compared to 10 people in a board room?

So earlier I was thinking about the word 'Gazillion', and how the latter half of that word is meant to be based off of the word 'Million'. Then I got to wondering, what parts of non-english words get swapped out with utter gibberish to convey a joke number?

Context: I was following the podcast for a long time, ever since episode 2 (when I heard about it). It's been part of my news cycle for a while. Couple months ago, I had a mental breakdown for unrelated reasons, and had to step away from my usual news outlets. The last episode I watched was 'The Xi Jinping Episode | Lemonade Stand 🍋' (Uploaded Apr 1, 2026), and I want to get back into it

However, i'm not gonna jam 15 podcast episodes into my now much busier (and more social) schedule. So I figured that I could get a quick summary of events, gags, and what not so I could get context for the next episode

Also, I recognize that this is a prime opportunity to mess with someone before they get back into a thing. I am asking you to be completely sincere about whatever is happening in the podcast. This is less about being a 'real or serious' fan, and more to do with the fact that I don't want this post to be deleted because the mods think i'm not being serious about this. I did legit have a mental crisis and had to be forced away from the news

I plan continue the podcast on the next upload date (Jul 27, 2026)

I am on Windows 11. After fighting with this program (LibreOffice_26.2.4_Win_x86-64 with Impress) for a while i've been able to get audio working on each individual slide. However, I want audio to play for the duration of the presentation after X slide

So I tried setting it up on Modify Transition and it doesn't work. I've tried putting the audio in the same folder as the presentation and that doesn't work either

Any help would be appreciated

Edit 1- Ok so, after watching and scrolling though a TON of tutorials, I found a tutorial that, while it didn't solve my problem, did give me more information to work with. When this guy clicked on the sound in the Modify Transition thingy, it automatically played the sound. That's NOT been happening with me

I just saw it used in an English speaking video, and it occurred to me that haven't actually seen this gag used outside of English

For those somehow unfamiliar with the gag; There's a children's saying where if someone is not telling the truth, they are a 'Liar Liar, Pants On Fire'. Naturally, this got represented in English speaking media where after a character knowingly tells a lie, their pants get set on fire either out of nowhere or from an unrelated event, emphasizing for comedic effect that they are in fact a Liar

So a criticism that I see in some media (lately it's been Overwatch and Gameoverse) is that the male characters all have differing body shapes while the female characters all have similar body shapes. Which is unfortunate for female characters cause they all end up looking similar

However a thought just occurred to me: male fashion tends to include very similar colors and shapes, whereas female fashion tends to be a lot more creative with what can be worn

So my question is: DO female clothes carry similar weight to a character's design as would a male character's body, and if so is that an intentional choice or a more subconscious one?

While i'm at it, I don't really know how to search for character designs that are the opposite of the Roger Rabbit design philosophy (Females with weird bodies and Males with human bodies), so if someone could point me somewhere that has that, that would be awesome

So if I put a glass of water out on a hot summer day, it would evaporate over time. But what i assume would happen is that the water molecules closest to the heat source (the top of the glass of water) would evaporate before any of the other water molecules

Assuming that is correct, there is water on the top level of the ocean that keeps getting evaporated and rained on over and over again. But also the water at the bottom of the ocean just stays down there cause it's not getting evaporated by the sun

Do I understand that correctly or am I missing something?

So about 9 months ago my company switched to a new somewhat niche insurance company

In the beginning i've had some hiccups with them to the point where I suspected malicious intent and/or them potentially being scammers, but have since then smoothed some stuff out. I had a medical emergency that I wasn't 100% sure if they'd cover me on or not, but in the end they did cover me without any complications

However over the course of a few months I started to get letters from the insurance company. Most of them said things like 'Insurance Plans' and 'This Is Not A Bill', so I ignored it. Recently though, I got an envelope that's like twice the size of a regular envelope. I opened it and at first thought it was a bill cause it had a bunch of numbers and symbols on it. But then I saw that it said in bold letters 'THIS IS NOT A BILL' and put together that it must be a weirdly formatted ad for an insurance plan. It also said in the letter 'Forwarding Service Requested' and has 'Notice Of Appeal Rights' on the back of the letter

The weird thing is? There were 15 of the EXACT same letter in the big envelope. Same front, same back, just a stack of paper. I'm thinking that either this is a glitch on their end, or someone was ordered to spread out a BUNCH of annoying letters to me, gave up, and just sent the whole stack to me

Any insight as to what might be going on?

I can log into reddit on desktop (such as now), but I can't log in on mobile (Android)

Iv'e tried clearing the chache/storage, uninstalling/reinstalling the app, and restarting my phone multiple times in multiple orders. I even gave reddit my phone number so I could try loggin in that way and it wouldn't work. I keeps telling me that it 'Failed To Authenticate' me

I would submit a ticket, but every time I try to pick a category it gives me useless information for what i'm dealing with instead of letting me submit anything

I'm not a fan of wrestling by any means, but my understanding is that while the victor of the fight is predetermined, the hits and physical punishment that they go through are very much real and is the main reason that people watch the sport

​

One time I went to a game convention and there was a wrestling ring in the back. The wrestlers were dressed as game characters. Whenever the Mario themed wrestler would do something everyone didn't go 'oh, the Mario themed guy did a thing', they went 'oh, Mario did a people's elbow'. Now, it may be out of character for Mario to do a people's elbow, but not in the context of a wrestling ring

​

If the combatants of a fight are two villains or a hero and a villain, it's pretty easy to justify them fighting. Even if one of the heroes is edgy or has some kind of dark power you could lean on that to justify throwing hands. BUT if you put two purely good heroes up against each other, it becomes difficult to justify why they're fighting in the first place. Let alone the collateral damage from how big the fight gets

​

If you want a matchup between two characters who don't normally kill to be animated by a show that puts characters against each other to the death, you best be ready when one of them kills off the other

So, I have been writing for the first time in my life. Got the story beats down and now I'm just writing out the actual words of the story

I want to share it somewhere, mainly so that I can direct my friends to it and they can read it, but also I wouldn't mind if other people were to stumble upon it

Is Wattpad a good starting point, or should I try somewhere else first?

I thought it had it's own video, but I guess not?

The idea was that a character has the choice to do bad in a situation that no one would blame them for, but chooses to do the right thing anyways. Example being if you're a bounty hunter and found out your target is a child. No one would blame you for killing or kidnapping a child, but you save the kid anyways because you couldn't live with that guilt

It's a really good trope talk that I want to revisit, but I don't remember what episode it's from
