Am I correct in thinking The Witcher Season 3 is going to drop on Netflix in, like, 15 minutes or am I still just an entire hemisphere ahead of everyone and have to wait until the Americans/Brits/Other People That Way wake up...?

[Acquaintance: The Frostbitten Tomb-Colonist has risen to 1!]
The Frostbitten Tomb-Colonist is old enough to have been and done most things that are, and thus has developed an interest in doing and being things that aren't. They expect to be quite occupied with this for the foreseeable future.

Gender: "Oh, if you must." (They/she)
Age: "Older than you." (And most anyone you know.) (...And most cities you have heard of.)
Profession: Most recently Correspondent, formerly Licentiate, Silverer, zailor, barber, journalist....
Moral alignment: If the world will forget a harm in 200 years, she sees no barrier to forgetting it today.
The Frostbitten Tomb-Colonist is difficult to reach as they spend little time in London, but any in-game messages intended for them can be directed through Dola Hallowrove.

you feel better now sam?
"..."
She...doesn't feel better, really. She stopped the heavy crying, sure, but she hasn't fully calmed down. It might take her some time...no one can blame her: personal jabs at her regarding her familial issues just...triggered something horrible in her, and she still feels very hurt. Now she's just tired...she needs the rest.
"...she's been crying for two hours, Alastor: we can't even calm her down."
"..."
"Alastor? Hon?"
"...I..."
...the smile on his face dropped the moment Sam closed her eyes, and he wiped her tears.
He had to stay strong for his little girl...his little girl. He never would've thought he would use those three words when speaking about her. Yet he simply did so, and it made him all the more soft. She was sweet, quiet, and had bursts of energy: he admired that. She was a good dancer, a singer, and loved anything about the Roaring Twenties: but she clung to him and trusted him, and that's what drew him to her.
This was his adoptive daughter now...his and DT's. He had to show her love, and not break promises. She didn't have to worry about him and DT drinking...which was good.
He was swarmed in his thoughts, he was tuning them out unintentionally. He was focused on getting Sam to calm down, but the more she cried, the more his heart shattered.
"...I failed her."
The tears said it all: literal. Tears. He cared for her more than he let on, and it was making him sentimental...in the best ways, however.
"You didn't fail her, hon."
"I did. I should've been there when that wretched anon shattered her with their commentary. I should've been there to comfort her sooner...but I wasn't."
"That doesn't mean you failed her. You found out when you could, and what matters is that she's safe in your arms. That she calms down."
"...but what if she doesn't...?"
"...you're going to hate this idea."
"How so...?"
"If she doesn't calm down in the next twenty minutes, we...we take her to Black Hat."
"...Black Hat."
There's fear and nervousness in his voice now. They tried to ease their husband by gently placing their hand on his leg.
"If she doesn't calm down. If she does, then disregard. I mean...everyone has already tried getting her to calm down, or talk...Mordecai hugged her for Christ's sake, and that didn't work! Ghirahim tried calming her by taking her hair down, but also nothing! Another person she confides in is Black Hat. He'll surely be able to calm her."
"...if you say so, my love."
"We'll get her through this...trust me."

My sister in law and I were talking about my dating life, and suggested I be more subtle with men because if I make the first move, that'll not draw them to me. And I'm like. But if I don't make the first move, they won't make the first move either. She said men don't like to feel controlled or dominated, and I said I don't do that to dominate or control them. I approach them first so they notice me. Because for me, it's not love at first sight. Guys aren't looking at me. I have to be bold and walk up to them and at least introduce myself to them. She said it's not working for me, and I should be more subtle. I just don't want to be subtle. I want a guy to know they're cute. I've been working on that skill for a couple of years, walking up to a guy and giving him my number. I'm bold. I'm not sorry for not being subtle. I'm very direct like that. It just frustrates me that I have to try to be subtle. She also said I'm really nice with guys and I don't give them a fight. And the thing is I DON'T want to fight with a guy. I've grown up with parents who fight constantly, for everything, all the time, almost daily. My mom LOVES to fight with my dad. I HATE that they argue. I had a breakdown as a kid because they'd fight so much. Me fighting with a guy is not in line with who I am because I HATE picking fights. We could solve a conflict by talking it out and communicating our needs. I'm saying the person that dated me will love me for being direct and communicating. I don't want to strip myself of my confidence to appease others. If it doesn't hurt anyone, I don't see why I should have to change that about me. But she's married and has kids so she's probably right. 🙄
