@jwhouk always has it worse

Nefarious methods should be subject to their own scrutiny, I suppose. As for the success of their program, bureaucracies' gonna bureaucracy.

Apparently this exclusively affects people who opted in to an energy saving program. *edit* In exchange for a free smart thermostat, no less. It is literally the point of the program of giving out these thermostats.

They might care, but they are shrugging and saying, "It's out of our jurisdiction. We can't do anything about it here." I guess I get it, even though it is such a shitty situation to prove the point on. In the UK you can be sued for defamation even if you aren't in the country defaming someone...

I've struggled with it for 15 years without really worsening. It is definitely linked to stress for me and it has improved with anti-anxiety medication and, as I said above, trying to manage histamine levels in my body.

That's a good point. Gender fluidity will enter the picture another way, then.

re: Loki - as the villain. It definitely makes the most sense. Loki the protagonist is an established loser, cheat, liar, and too ambitious for his own good. He would be ineffective against most people that the TVA couldn't handle. But a villain that is just like him? They definitely could use...

Got my first Pfizer shot! Heading back to the US in a little over a month. And then COVID begins to spread here in Oz....
