The disabled are not a very big market segment and they know what they need, so the companies put their marketing money towards tricking people who don't actually need them. Credulous idiots watching infomercials are basically subsidizing the development costs of assistive devices

No able bodied person needs a blanket with sleeves, but it's a godsend for somebody in a wheelchair who can't just put on a sweater and some pjs when they're cold

I used a snuggie for many years and still have one, it's just been replaced by a really nice robe I got for Christmas.

The snuggie was "invented" by a college student that wanted to be able to reach their tv remote without taking off their blanket. A lot of them are just dumb ideas someone thought they could sell. Actual assistive devices are usually sold that way.

Wow, I could have invented the snuggie but I was smart enough to simply keep the remote under the blanket. Alas.

One thing I love with Euro Truck Simulator is that you can get European internet radio stations and they're often really peaceful and chill.

Did someone say "European radio stations" ? because comrade do I have good news for you,

When I was a kid, we lived in a log house with one propane heater and piss-poor chinking. It used to snow in the kitchen when it was windy and the snow stayed until you swept it up.

My folks did get baseboard heat and siding when I was a teen so that was nice. My room didn't have heat but I had blankets so it was fine.

Ever since then, I don't let my house get cold. I'll pay the extra money to keep my house warm. Doing your homework in the dark by the light of a propane stove with a blanket over your shoulders just wasn't fun.

Did I mention we really didn't have lights either? I mean, we had some lights, but they were all in useless places and none were near the heat.

Discovery is promoting a new show called "Bee Czar". While the guy seems like a nice guy doing good work to save bees the ads all have Russian music and of course the name of the show is "Czar".

Behind a paywall of course, shouldve known there was also gonna be cockblocking involved in this wolf kink omegaverse.

Too bad though, ive always been curious about the legal aspects of erotic fanfiction of major IPs. But i'm too poor to afford that kind of knowledge according to NYT, without losing whats left of my soul.

Weirdly, I think the wolf-kink erotica in question isn't fanfiction, just original romance fiction using terrible fanfic kinks.
