    I could've resisted taking this out of context but I chose not to.

    And then I was just really confused. What even is this? Can someone who knows russian/italian/spanish or whatever this is explain what I just watched? Because italian popeye waldo and italian mini popeye are making me afraid of everything.

    The Coca-Cola Company still says that it has no plans to bring back Surge.

    We'll wear them down eventually.

    It's 2:40am and I am not tired at all. Might be time to ask my doctor about increasing my quetiapine dose to help me sleep.

    Net neutrality is a principle currently in place that makes it so governments and Internet Service Providers treat each piece of data on the Internet as equal. This means it is a violation if your ISP charges you more money for, say, access to YouTube as opposed to access to Reddit. Basically, no matter what site you use, you pay the same price.
    Verizon is suing the FCC to change that, because they want to start filtering websites into categories, and charging more money for sites with large amounts of data. The reason this is a bad thing is because they can use this proposed method to restrict access to certain parts of the Internet, and stop consumers from reaching websites they don't like, such as Netflix, which presents competition to Verizon's video on demand service, due to its competitive pricing.
    TL;DR: Abolishing net neutrality will allow your Internet company to decide what websites you can/can't see, and how much each one costs to access.

    I wish to stand up and go make my dinner, but approximately five pounds (2.27 Kilograms) of cat molecules have appeared on my lap.

    I wish I had your problem. For me, it's "be tired no matter what time it is, and no matter how much sleep you got".

    I used to suffer with insomnia, hallucinations (possibly from sleep deprivation) and Night terrors, which is why I was given medication. Luckily It doesn't cost anything. Without it I would be staying awake for a dangerous amount of time. D:

    I tried 'natural' sleep remedies but none helped, perhaps because it was a mental health issue. But if you're suffering with tiredness I'd recommend getting some warm milk and Toffee syrup, mixing it together and drinking it at night. (I have to add sugar because I need the energy and it tasted SO GOOD.)

    It's basically a toffee drink and it's very relaxing. My Doctor also told me to stay away from screens a few hours before sleep, but I can never achieve that.

    Also if you need energy, exercise is apparently the way to go. I usually go for long walks, You don't have to run or vigorously exert yourself. Also vegetables (With some butter or garlic) is another way to get energy. Chicken added to the meal is a bonus.

    Try not to stuff yourself until you feel sick or get sleepy, because if you're like me and have IBS, It will ruin your entire day.

    Also sorry if you didn't want advice, Kinda rambled there.

    That's a really good piece of advice. Staring at bright screens (television screens, computer screens, etc.) generates increased activity in the brain. I know way too many people who don't actually have sleeping disorders who happen to self-diagnose themselves as having mental problems out of ignorance. That can be avoided entirely by getting heavy exercise earlier in the day, maintaining a regular schedule, eating healthier and avoiding screens for at least an hour or so before bed. Those tricks might not work for those folks with certain mental diagnoses, but there you are.

    The mini-B receptacle on my tablet broke, and I threw away almost all of my electronics scrap months ago.
    Now, I'm stuck frantically searching for a replacement part that I used to have dozens of.

    I was led to believe that a gelatinous cube had indeed been found.
