I will allow that Captain Underpants had a bit of a nostalgia factor in my enjoyment, but I still would recommend the watch.

I feel like I shouldn't really get a vote considering how hard I fell off the Minecraft server but I'd be down for that

I did a good job of taking care of them.....for about a week, and then I forgot about them. Remembered a couple weeks later and went into the (otherwise unused) room to check and....full harvest all ready for me to take. So I take that harvest and leave the room and promptly forget they're there again.
This happened like 3 or 4 times. I somehow managed to be wildly successful at growing "my own" mushrooms despite putting in effectively zero effort. I don't think my buddy ever managed to reach that level of success....

I'm using this thread as a source. If I'm honest, I didn't do any further research to confirm if these are the perfectly accurate numbers or not but I'm assuming they're at worst close to reality.
Phase 1: 12h 24m
Phase 2: 12h 37m, a 1.75% increase from phase 1
Phase 3: 24h 55m, 97.5% increase from Phase 2. At least there are only a couple movies that are somewhat painful to sit through. The rest are kind of all bangers
Phase 4: 57h 42m, 131.6% increase from phase 3. JESUS that's a spike. Not to mention, as someone who (regrettably) watched most of phase 4, I'd say there are maybe 5 projects (of EIGHTEEN) worth watching in phase 4. Everything else is forgettable at best (name one thing that happened in the Hawkeye show other than the cringe worthy musical number, I dare you) and downright painful at worst. (Looking at you, Black Widow and Eternals)
Realistically speaking, ain't nobody got time for all that. I watched most of Phase 4 more as a result of excessive boredom than actual interest in the MCU. It really seemed like the floodgates opened after Phase 3 and suddenly MCU was the new 2018 era Netflix where any idea got greenlit, no matter how terrible or boring or pointless.

I spent too much time getting sucked into other games around the time the server got updated to 1.21.4 and now whenever I try to launch the game, it crashes. I probably missed any discussion from other people who were having this problem too.
I've fully uninstalled Minecraft and deleted the .minecraft folder, reinstalled and ran the 1.24.4 fabric installer and it still crashes, saying something about Java Binary not responding or something similar.
In doing some rough testing, I have confirmed that Minecraft does run fine without fabric, even on the server, but installing fabric causes the crash issue to return.
I've tried googling fixes and come up empty. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can play on the server without Fabric if I have to, but I would like to run Xaero's minimap and DH too....

The Sims 2, however, I could never get to launch. I did some brief digging and was never able to figure out a solution. Tried running it in a bunch of different compatibility modes, tried installing some community patches, never managed to get it working.
Re: "women find hot guys more attractive while ovulating"
I thought that women just find every guy attractive when they're ovulating. My wife told me once that she had a few "wow, body. Really? We're all hot and bothered because we saw the greasy convenience store janitor? Calm down" moments when she was still single.
