That’s good then!

I don’t know if he has any hobbies besides getting angry at the news, but it’d help and give you two something to talk about that isn’t upsetting. I know you mentioned in another comment that he sees frivolity as a waste of potential, but maybe you could emphasize that he’s worked hard his whole life, and fun in retirement is supposed to be the reward for that?

What does he do for work? Maybe there’s a hobby that hits his dopamine the same way?

but lately he is getting stuck on topics and gets very very repetitive.

I used to do elder care, and this in particular could be an early sign of dementia.

Swear to god, if I unwrap a tampon that says “help, I’m trapped in a fortune cookie factory”…

It’s like the inverse of Liking Something Before It Was Cool. I never liked this problematic thing even when it was cool.

I’ve trained my cats to come to a dinner bell. Now, instead of yelling at me for food, the youngest cat has figured out how to ring the door chimes when he’s hungry.

On the plus side, if my cats ever accidentally get outside, the bell is loud enough to hear across the neighborhood, so I can summon them.

Every time I’ve seen this, it’s been on my phone and I’ve always thought it was the shadow of a drone.

Now I’m seeing it on a bigger screen and can finally tell what it is.

I run into that sometimes, where they decide that it’s all the same material right? And then make the floor texture the same as the wall texture, so holes in the wall are completely invisible.

Journey to the Center of the Earth was also turned into multiple movies.

I’d hold off until you actually feel comfortable handling a dog. You can volunteer at shelters or babysit a friend’s dog or something, but you’ll need to train your dog, and being afraid will make that a lot harder.

Training a dog is one part training yourself. Your dog will look to you for guidance, so it’s helpful for a professional trainer to show you how to communicate with your dog. There are private trainers, but the most affordable method is in a group with various other untrained dogs.

I have wasted so much fucking time in games trying to climb ladders that were just decor.

how they have survived as a species is a mystery to me

Domestication is how they’ve survived. They’ve got odd little nests because they’re from a warm area and they really just need a few sticks to keep the egg from rolling out of the cliffside pockets they naturally nest in.

We’ve transported them to areas they never evolved to live in, set them loose, and mock their struggle to survive.

No, my parents believed video games were evil :(

I had so much dolphin shit as a teenager
