Clean the lint out of nooks and crannies every so often. That's all I do, and I've had mine for a decade

The Lives of Others is a movie about life under surveillance in the DDR. Maybe not quite what you asked, but it's very well made

I am not a merry man!

Aha! This was it. Now there is an .exe file I can run. THANK YOU!!

Run the program.

Yeah, this right here is where the problem is...

Pet peeve: no "stay logged in" option for a system I use multiple times per day

Pretty well, and just finishing up. I had the day off and it was great to catch up on some long-planned creative projects

It's an outdoor game like a scavenger hunt. Other people place geocaches (tupperwares or similar containers) somewhere out in nature and mark the spot on an online map. Anyone can find them and sign the log book inside, sometimes there are other items to trade as well. Free to play at geocaching.com.

I've done this lots while travelling in Europe and North America, it's fantastic if you want to get away from typical tourist hotspots for a while. It's helped me discover so many spots I never would've seen advertised anywhere

I'm sorry you're in such a bad spot, that sounds really hard. Are you able to share more specifically what type of self-care you feel you're missing?

If you are able, it might be helpful to begin to formulate an exit plan. Try to put some money aside if you're able (in an account they don't have access to, if that's a concern). Look into resources and therapy that might be available (if you're in school, your school might offer this for free and confidentially). Is there someone in your life you trust to talk through what you're dealing with?

Ah, that's a shame. Thanks for answering!

Any time you try to get tape off a roll, it rips halfway through and turns into a mess. The same with toilet paper
