@Alfred Please generate a full length film about several microbes who are following the scent of food in the water, but are having difficulty navigating. Feature a journey to consult the wise tardigrade.

I wonder how many plants would still be alive if my approach to gardening wasn't, "What happens if I do this?"

If you have The Sims 4 but not the "my first pet" pack, I just logged in and got it for free for a limited time.

3/3 So good it's inspired a genre of superheroes with the same superpower. You know that show Lie to Me? The dude who that was based on is indeed very skilled at sniffing out deception. He's able to tell when someone lies half the time, better than our usual 30%.

50% is a coin toss though. Not infallible, except in fiction. And it does the same thing Doyle hated. The public eats it up, believes in it, including those who go into law enforcement. It's a dangerous pleasure.

2/ He didn't like how everyone fell for his trick. The one where the author hands Holmes the answers, covering the fact that it is impossible to deduce things to the degree he does. He shows in this story how all the clues can really be interpreted multiple ways, it's an impossible trick. But it feels so good to fall into the story.

My soapbox about Sherlock. He's a superhero. He satisfies an inner desire to overcome weaknesses that leave us vulnerable, the way superman is invulnerable to bullets, Holmes is never wrong. He can not be deceived, except by that one chick who really wasn't all that smart, she just wore a disguise. Those who have been betrayed can take comfort in his infallibility. I've read them all. Including the one where Watson learns "the trick", something Doyle wrote because he hated writing Holmes. 1/?

Just realized that the next sims expansion, something I thought I wouldn't get because landlords are gross, would allow me to play my new Holmes and Watson team with their landlady as the Mrs. Hudson that is trans, and now I'm very tempted. It already has me playing the detective profession, which I've never played before because eew, cop. I don't even know who I am anymore.

I have so much to do, and I just can't stop playing The Sims. I made a Bennediction Cumberpickle version of Sherlock Holmes and gave him a Lucy Liu Jane Watson, or as close as I can get them, and moved them into an apartment where everything is breaking and it has a broken down Victorian theme, I'm completely sucked in.
