    This characterization made me realize my own answer to OP's question: the YouTube/Insta alternative reality comedy channel neuralviz. They write their own stuff and then use AI to make it come to life and it's so good.

    You (both) might want to look into Non-violent Communication. Despite the name, this is not just a communication thing, but also a framework that gives you tools to recognize and express your own feelings and needs in a healthy way (self-empathy), which is a mandatory pre-requisite to being able to give empathy to others (which I think is the best way to comfort them in times of need). By doing that, you can then recognize and focus on the feelings and needs of others and use that for more satisfying and connecting communication.

    For example, related to the comment I'm replying to, one of the things that is taught in this framework is that your feelings are your own and other people are not responsible for them. You can be mad, because someone did or said something that triggered your anger, but you learn to recognize that you are not mad at them. And the same goes for anger expressed by other people. You can navigate tense situations and empathize with them better when you learn that they are never "mad at you".

    It's hard to put into words briefly, but I did my best haha. Please look into it to learn more (and more accurately than I was able to convey it).

    There's a version of letting the battery drain fully that I would not recommend, specifically putting the device to sleep and leaving it to discharge. It has happened to me twice now and the result was a seemingly dead display, which gave me quite a scare.

    Details and resolution steps The device would work when docked, it would display everything and play games, but when undocked, there was a black screen. Fortunately I found resolution steps online—I needed to turn it off completely, then hold VolumeDn and the power button. The diode would blink, and when I came back to it an hour later, the screen was working.

    I might be a psychopath, but my favorite way to open a banana is by ripping it in half. It's surprisingly easy to do (unless it's very old and mushy, then I go for the ass-end method)

    I swear by my L-Trac! I have a 3D-printed riser and module for additional buttons (Cherry MX-like from mech. keyboards) and my wrist loves it

    Thank you for mentioning that game. Brings up some memories! I still have the menu or in-race music randomly stuck in my head sometimes :D

    I don't live in the US and I'm not in the market for any products anyway, so I tried to have it recommend a band (specific genre) and a podcast (specific type) and the recs were actually pretty good!

    Pustina (Wasteland). A rare gem in the otherwise quite unremarkable Czech production (saying this as a Czech). A dark and gritty crime story set in a small village in the middle of nowhere, with themes of desperation, trauma, and oppression of the people by a big mining company, and some exceptional acting.
