  The guy in charge was having medical and personal issues. And doesn't seem to have access to everything at the moment. It's a bummer, and I hope things get better for him, but that's how projects like this go sometimes.

  "Alba: A Wildlife Adventure" jumped to mind. I don't remember it being long or difficult, but I had a nice time.

  Children's food is usually a simplified version of adult food, right? I'm confused why this would shock anyone. When I have any complicated noodle dish with cheese, it's just complicated mac n cheese, really.

  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41433-019-0750-2 (some medical eye images in here that might bug people) This article is interesting.

  There are some not exclusively cosmetic reasons to do this, I guess. I was going to say people should wait until there's a larger body of evidence from medical procedures before getting it done cosmetically, but apparently people have been tattooing their eyes forever and the newness is just from the more modern procedures.

  I'm still struggling, though. I've got crap eyesight but can't bring myself to get them lasered, so I really can't unemotionally evaluate this. There's an image in that article I linked that will haunt me. I hope it turns out to be safe, if it's going to be a fad.

  Human beings are social creatures and will strive for connection even when it's dangerous. The problem isn't the person looking, because there will always be people who are bad at protecting themselves. If they hadn't found this man, they'd find another, because they are targeting gay men.

  So don't worry. No one's perfect, so if they hadn't found this guy, you could be smug about someone else.

  I was in college around the same time and recall doing my usual minimum research for a new system and still to this day think "acer's crap, right?" when someone mentions it, even though the memory of why is gone.
