If you're a weeb there's an entire genre of this stuff: iyashi-kei ("soothing type/genre"). I've enjoyed a bunch of them, though some of them get pretty saccharine if that's a worry. There's a large overlap with "slice of life", and a lot of these are set in school for whatever reason - YMMV. I like Azumanga Daioh, though the anime adaptation is a little aged. Nichijou is adorable and leans more into absurdism if that's your thing. "Yotsuba&!" is freaking precious, but manga only - same guy as Azumanga Daioh.

For non-weeb stuff I'll mention Brooklyn Nine-Nine, also Parks and Recreation once it hits its stride.

Baseball is just applied maths, really.

To be fair, the idea of "confronting" or "working out" certain feelings, such as trauma, can actually be worse for you. Studies show that if you have newly traumatized people playing buttloads of Tetris, they might be better off, with fewer intrusive memories. Also, more colloquially, "confronting" feelings can also be a way to rationalize ruminating over negative crap, which isn't good either.

What is "one beer"? 330ml? 500? A pint?

Tolerance would be my first guess. When you drink regularly, the liver (and/or whatever) upregulates enzymes that break down ethanol and the assorted byproducts. If you consume less for a while, there's no reason to keep producing them in such amounts.

Also, don't underestimate the effects of stomach contents etc. - alcohol hits much harder (and sometimes subjectively differently) on an empty stomach.

No. If something is being "squatted" there are already mechanisms to take over things - admittedly slow ones that require manual admin intervention on your instance, AFAIK.

This seems like way overkill, though. However, unmoderated stuff does need to get taken down simply due to abuse potential.

Wouldn't surprise me given the overlap in their... let's call it thinking. Still, there's nothing to suggest that e.g. Ernest from kbin is a tankie dipshit, so it's still weird we also have to deal with it.

Instance blocking, in the absence of people doing their job, needs to arrive last month.

No. We don't. While obviously, we know it inhibits serotonin reuptake, we do not know why that SSRI action works. They were developed based on the monoamine hypothesis - basically "too little neurotransmitter activity, better beef it up". And so it does! In a matter of days. Any actual antidepressive effect notoriously can take weeks or months, so that obviously isn't the entire mechanism.

Just be a savant at figuring out the best kind of savantism to pick, ez

True, but mostly irrelevant. SSRIs are the first line treatment for a bunch of shit, we don't know how they work, either.

Huh? What does this have to do with LotR?
