I know I am a true Brit because I am guilty of ranting about issues I know nothing about in the middle of pubs before. With total confidence I'm revealing some forbidden truth.

One thing that doesn't track for me about The Expanse is they're using a salvaged Martian warship supposedly with state of the art torpedoes that they're always boasting about. But if they have no allegience to Mars where the hell are they restocking said torpedoes?

American subtitle creators stop typing "idjit" as "idiot" challenge (impossible). That's what Bobby is saying in Supernatural by the way. Idjit. Not idiot. Same mistake in The Expanse. I *think* these are the official bluray subs I'm using.

I think what separates Häagen-Dazs from Ben and Jerry's is Ben and Jerry's TRICKS you into thinking it's premium quality ice cream because its shapes (cookie dough, fudge brownie, chocolate fish chunks) meet that craving for sugar. With Häagen-Dazs the ice cream itself is of a luxury quality.

The actual damage will need to be assessed by a doctor, but the sonographer still found my spleen to only be slightly enlarged (good sign), no fluid in my abdomen (very good sign), no lesions cancerous or benign he can see (obviously a great sign). The ultrasound will be compared to my last, but

still alive. Relative to my size and thereby the size of my other organs, my spleen is only 1cm enlarged. This is good as with cirrhosis scarring can cause blood to flow back into the spleen. The worse the scarring the larger it gets I believe is the general idea.

Ahahahahahahah Pluribus season 2 won't be until July 2028. Raises the question again, after Severance where I couldn't remember half of what happened, why the hell do I watch any show on schedule these days. Oh right because social media might spoil them. But social media is how I *find* them.

Always the same damn story with me. I bring a book or a game to an appointment thinking I'll pass the time with it. I won't. I'll sit there fixed in place until I'm called. I am mentally paralysed by any form of schedule or obligation.

"No one is coming to help." "You are alone." Don't put me in charge of NHS adverts I'm too honest.

"You might find someone who gives a shit, you might not. Get off our dicks."

Routine ultrasound today. Time to see the damage to my liver. I say "time" as if I can interpret ultrasound images myself. Would be easier if I could.

Always shop obsessively for hours until it could be classed as a mental illness on Amazon. Think, measure stuff at home, measure out the specs, visualise the item, use keywords. Find your compromise point. Tell yourself you're doing all this because the search function fucking sucks which is true.

But there were way more considerations than you might think. For example I had to measure up to the ideal centre for a VESA mount. One vertical dual monitor stand had a massive area of the pole where mounting was not possible so my monitor would be too high. You always gotta think of everything on

Lol the UK has the highest obesity rate in Western Europe... Jesus. Yeah we probably have a normalisation problem by this point then, I need to exercise more and beat that stereotype damn.

Damn it. Really need to take better care of my tech. Anker 737 power bank is completely dead, only shows a display when plugged in, and with a wrong percentage. Nothing to do but leave it on charge and hope for the best. High end power bank too. Damn it.

I really wish I hadn't fucking done that. This thing was not cheap. Fuck. There are alternatives with decent enough screens these days but they're not pocket change either.

Should have been charging it periodically.

I'm enjoying my ereader with a remote clicker honestly. Got a big font and have the Kobo stationed horizontally. Much more relaxing for some reason. I think the reason is the same as why wired headphones and VR headsets are so annoying. Being mindful of expensive tech ruins the ability to relax.

Another British person saying they have not watched Hot Fuzz is offensive to me.

Being told to go to hospital in a taxi when I was seriously ill and couldn't move properly, not even sure if I was going to make it out of my door is STILL turning around in the brain. Do not get ill. Help is not coming. Also fuck you as well, probably. They might as well say that.

You ARE alone.
