actually nothing more depressing than a medical form that makes me list my amount of education in years followed by an occupation field where I get to put "unemployed"
btw if you remember No Man's Sky coming out 10 years ago and are wondering if it ever "got good," or you know it did but dropped off, highly recommend the current anniversary expedition that's out, it walks you thru every update so far with audio commentary from Hello Games.

considering becoming ready to disclose that i am possibly willing to admit it's time to buy a nosehair trimmer
i know the bbc is a rag but essentially saying "what if someone else wanted to use those 🧐" is crazy work
Do not speak to the BBC if you are trans. Just don't do it. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Even if you know the reporter and they are not an ass, tell them to go fuck themselves anyway because they work for the BBC and their editors will do this regardless of the journalist's intent.
