    If you're a Mac user looking to move away from Chrome, and Firefox doesn't feel right for you, I'd highly recommend the Arc browser. From a UX perspective it's fantastic, and ad blocking is one of the core ideas of the platform. It's really helped me redefine how I interact with the web and I've really come to enjoy all the ways I can organize my life on the internet.

    I had a re-watch after watching the Lindsay Ellis video. One thing that really stood out to me, was just how believable everything felt with the movie. Like sure, the whole dinosaurs being secretly genetically manufactured en masse obviously requires a suspension of disbelief, but just in terms of the scope of the movie, everything feels well thought-out and fairly plausible. The technology at play (minus the extreme genetic engineering), the corporate espionage, the human characters, and the dinosaurs themselves all have this very grounded nature to them that's very refreshing. Modern action movies just feel too over the top, so it was nice to just watch this straight forward dino flick. The fact that the dinosaurs are just treated like animals instead of monsters really makes a huge difference.

    I personally think Fullmetal Alchemist is a perfect manga in almost every way. The anime is great too, but I think the manga gets slept on a bit. About 100 chapters of consistently amazing quality.

    If you're serious about this girl, I would recommend the next time you have an urge to see a prostitute, take that money you would've spent and spend it on something nice for your girlfriend. Buy her flowers and chocolates or whatever she likes. And hopefully, it will make her really happy and you can feel good in how happy you made her. By repeating this action every time you get the urge, you can train yourself to think about making your partner happy rather than visiting a prostitute, and both you and your relationship will be much better off for it. Also, seriously get checked for STIs

    I've been reading Sensitive Boy as it's been coming out. I feel like this may be one of the best depictions of male victim sexual abuse I've seen. I don't know how it will continue, but I hope the author continues handling things tactfully
