    I keep finding joy in the fact that Richard Coyle, who played Jeff, the guy who had trouble with the word moist, ended up playing Moist von Lipwig in the Going Postal (Discworld) adaptation.

    Shame about the fourth series though. Jeff was irreplaceable.

    I have a smart moustachioed tabby cat and a lovable orange idiot cat. The smart one only wants to cuddle when no one is watching (or even in the same room) and will stop snuggles when he hears someone come in (really sit up and look away). The orange one just wants attention all the time. He has already been locked up in a toilet, behind the kitchen cabinets (took us a while to find him) and closets. He is scared of the doorbell and children, but not cars or big dogs. So he (and his brother) are inside cats and only allowed outside under supervision.

    Yes, there could practically always be more cats so, not enough cats up until that point. I will go look at the pets topic! Thanks!

    No problem! I've been trying to "digital detox" for a while so it is already easier for me (no twitter, no insta, no TikTok, no Facebook, only actual videos on YouTube, no shorts). It will become more natural as you continue! And then suddenly you realise you haven't touched your phone for half a day and yet you feel fine.
    Another thing to learn is to be bored. Just don't do anything. It will feel so weird at first, but it does make a difference mentally.

    Moderating could translate to volunteer work with sports or debate clubs or stuff like that? One thing I completely forgot in my list of things to do with ones new free time. Volunteer! With kids, the homeless, animals... I'm not comfortable being around strangers so it's not something for me, but I have seriously thought about volunteering for the local animal shelter (and then found out they were in need of someone answering phones, one of my biggest stressors).

    Read books, go outside, learn a crafting skill (knitting, woodworking, sewing), learn a new language (actual or programming).

    I'm a Reddit refugee as well (as a lot of people here I guess). 10 years with RIF. Am more of a lurker type, but I also sometimes want to give my two cents so an account was necessary. Am looking around a bit.
    Do miss the gazillion catsubs though. Very little cats here. Hahaha.
