You realise that it’s technically impossible to even get just all the bronze badges from the getting started section, probably deliberate to stop people from being taken over by the spell.

And how do I know it can’t be done? (through legitimate methods)
Look, it was taunting me, a meagre bronze badge with zero count. Did I succeed? Do you see a 1 in the count? :confounded:

I am off again, battery is low and thunder is still rolling, heavy rain just hit us now it’s probably back with a thunderstorm.

Edit: 20 mins later quiet and no more rain. Crazy weather already June but weather is still like April.

Same on this side of the world :earth_americas: I think the seasons got tired of us complaining when they come around. They had a meeting, and decided to come altogether at once in each other’s seasons. :joy::joy::joy::joy:

Still a little thunder in the mix, but weather warning ends in these minutes.

Not that I would be happy too soon. The one for tomorrow is out from 11am until 11pm. Oh, dear, and it doesn’t look much different the next week. Only Sunday might be without thunderstorms …

(This was originally from the 1960s Broadway musical “Man of La Mancha,” but it has since then become a great song for many other artists as well.)

Storm the barricades! Go for it! Unity!

Looking more and more like a bad arranged-marriage “meet cute” each time I log on . . .

The dry cleaner’s daughter is shy and willowy of form. Yet she is über-modest in her sister’s hand-me-down track suit. She is also virtuous and pure of heart (and a hearty eater who got a job driving a cement truck in pre-school to pay for her own five pounds per day of after-school snacks).

The herbal throat lozenge king’s son is strong-willed, careless of social convention, and resentful of being constantly corrected and belittled as he works in the mailroom to prove to his dad that he is worthy of inheriting the business.

He misses his dead mother (she died in childbirth) and carries a deep burden of sorrow because he cannot bring himself to please his father’s grandmother (his only family ally) and apologize to his father for years of unfilial behavior.

Depending on the writers, the genre of the story, and the broadcast network, he and the dry cleaner’s daughter spend anywhere from five minutes to twenty years meeting, fussing, fighting, belittling, misunderstanding, learning to tolerate, and allowing themselves, ever so reluctantly, to fall in love.

Then, depending on netizen online responses and broadcast ratings, the fated lovers will either spend twenty-five MORE episodes dragging their heels and being constantly torn apart and harassed by nosy, bitchy, and/or prejudiced relatives (and even strangers), or they will end up sitting across from each other at a “meet the in-laws” dinner at a traditional Korean restaurant where the dry cleaner’s daughter’s little brother innoocently asks for cup noodle . . .

Everyone gasps!!! His parents stand up, ready to call off union with the lower classes!!! Her parents stand up, demanding that his parents pay their overdue drycleaning bills!!! The restaurant owner hurries in and begs everyone to calm down (so he can figure out who to ask for a credit card before things get out of hand).

AND THEN!

Urged on by love, fate, and a desire to see kimchi covering his oldest-brother-law’s sharkskin suit, the cough lozenge king’s son rises to his full height, upends the entire table, and strides righteously off into the dark!!!

Will they complete the pattern destiny has laid out, or will they be fated to live forever apart???

Oooh! A ring to search for. Now comes the fun.

Especially the inexplicable scene where the secondary male lead (a “minding my own business” cousin or grade school classmate) gets roped into being the fiance of the smart lady lawyer who is dumped by her lawyer boyfriend because . . . she doesn’t spend enough time at home???

So SHE lends HIM money to buy her a rock the size of Gibraltar . . .

(from Britannica’s online encyclopedia)

And through a series of merry mishaps (including a dive into the Han river to rescue the accidentally dropped engagement ring), the lawyer and the jewelry store owner eventually (and with a LOT of snarking and sniffing, and constant assurances to friends that they are not suicidal) fall in love and “tie the knot” as they say in English.

Epilogue:
“Um, honey, why did your hand just fall off?”
“That red thread bracelet you gave me? Remember that? I’m pretty sure it completely cut off my circulation.”
“Oh, no. I guess that means I’ll have to feed you all your meals!”
“Gosh, honey, you are the best!”
