    So are these distinct alarms for different tasks/events, or are they like all emergency backup alarms, one-per-minute for every chance she might oversleep?

      Since Dorothy is typically an early riser, I imagine they’re alarms for tasks like “alarm for jog, alarm for breakfast, alarm to study, alarm to email someone” etc etc.

            College was, for me, long enough ago that alarms were to be found on alarm clocks, and only one at a time. But damn, I was doing the same thing Dorothy is maybe two minutes before seeing the comic.

          I have a set of alarms at precise intervals that cascade so that after you snooze the fourth one or so you basically are getting hit with an alarm every minute or so.

          Sometimes it takes this to get me up. The kids’ teachers are remarkably unforgiving when the kids are late to school *again*.

            It always struck me as wildly unfair for children to get punished for being late to school when their parents were the ones causing it.

            … Admittedly, that was mostly because I kept being the kid getting punished, but still. It’s not like grade-schoolers can drive themselves!

          I definitely had a few Saturday classes in college. I’m inclined to think she doesn’t or she wouldn’t be sleeping in because she’s Dorothy but class on Saturday is a thing that can happen.

          I would also be unsurprising with all the stress she’s been under and all the pressure she’s been putting on herself “sleeping in” turns into waking up Sunday morning because she’s seriously short on restful sleep.

      I don’t know. I keep setting alarms to get up early, then new ones for 15 minutes later when I realize I am so exhausted on 4 hours of sleep that I can’t move, only to repeat the cycle again and again and I am fine. I mean I haven’t made progress in my life for a week, I’m always tired, and I want to pull my hair out, but it’s nothing getting up early won’t fix.

            Mood. It’s worth talking to a doctor about it to get medication. Seroquel works for me, without it I literally do not sleep. It’s not a knock out pill like Ambien, just enough to make me sleepy when I wanna be and then actually sleep through the night instead of a light 3 hour nap

    As someone who distinctly Not A Morning Person ™ and does set several alarms for when I need to get up, I feel like… a morning person doing this is… odd? Either she’s not a morning person and has been forcing herself to keep the schedule of one, or she’s been sleeping so badly that despite being a morning person she needs that many alarms. Neither of which is good.

      I am very much a morning person (naturally wake up around 4-6am) and I definitely set alarms like this anyway. I’m very anxious about being late for things and keeping on schedule, so I have alarms that are 10 minute warnings for other alarms so I can be ready to act on that alarm the moment it goes off for real

    I did this. One every fifteen minutes, from “two hours before I need to be out the door” to “when I need to be out the door.” Eventually I got to the point where my body somehow learned to tune out the alarms, to the point that even when I scaled the alarms back to counteract this, I was sleeping through the ones that were actually important.

      My body learned to anticipate the alarms

      Even if they change, I almost always end up waking 30 minutes before them

      It’s… Freaky

      Then again, having Jevil scream, “I CAN DO ANYTHING!” at max volume enough times might have something to do with it

        I am fortunate enough that usually I only have to wake up at a time when I’d naturally be awake anyway. When I have an important appointment, I still set an alarm. I don’t need it to wake up (I’ll be awake anyway by the time it rings). On the contrary: I need this alarm to be able to sleep 😀 without it, I would have a shitty sleep and wake up so often while it’s still way too early… because I’d be subconsciously scared to oversleep and miss my appointment. But with the alarm set, my body and subconscious can relax: as long as it didn’t ring yet, it’s okay to just sleep!

        It’s apparently something natural. The way I heard it described is that it’s your body preparing for the stress of dealing with the alarm clock. Isn’t that funny?

      Which is why I do the opposite. I never set alarms, except when I ACTUALLY REALLY NEED TO GET UP RIGHT NOW. And that important alarm is always the same melody, and never used for anything unimportant. This does the opposite of tuning out: When I hear the first two notes of that alarm, I am *awake* no matter how little sleep I got before. Works like a charm.

        Yeah, it took me a while to learn this. My body has its own rhythm and I let it do its thing and in return I feel less shitty in the morning. Not like… good. But less shitty.

      I’m starting to see two groups here. One is saying, “what’s the big deal? I have reminder blips all day long.” The other is saying, “wow, that many alarms to wake up? what do you mean, ‘reminders’?”

        Weird thing is, I do enjoy my reminders. How else would one remember to water the plants or sort through the email inbox? I even wrote an app just to remind me of such things in a less stressful way.

        But I just feel so crap when an alarm wakes me up. I’d rather go to bed at ungodly times (8pm sometimes) just so I can naturally wake up way before anything important happens.

        Which has had the added bonus of eliminating that insomnia caused by ‘augh if I don’t fall asleep RIGHT NOW I won’t get enough sleep and will be tired tomorrow so why am I still awake fall asleep already dammit”. Cause it doesn’t matter if I lie awake two more hours. Well I lose two hours, but I’ll be fine the next day either way. So my stupid brain goes “It doesn’t matter? Ok cool let’s sleep”

      I’ve found it helps to set a whole bunch of them at random intervals, then only turn some of them on every night.

      For example, set an alarm for 5:26 and another for 5:32, and switch off which one is tomorrow’s “5:30” alarm.

    On the one hand, I also set lots of alarms for when I want to wake up so I feel for Dorothy on that; on the other hand, I do so because I have narcolepsy, and sometimes 15 alarms still Isn’t enough to wake me up.

        Mine also tells time, so I just ditched my failing wristwatch and wear the monitor 24/7 except for washing. DO be careful if you do this: I began to get a rash from having that patch of skin continuously covered so I wash and examine that wrist vigilantly.

        The only annoying thing about it is that, if I move wrong in the night, it thinks I’m looking at it and lights up for a moment.

      As someone who uses a lot of alarms (though not nearly as many), this comic is making me *cringe*. My only rationalization is that these alarms are set for today *specifically*, and she has an evening ritual every night of structuring her next morning’s routine and alarms. Haha, that’d be pretty crazy, right? Imagine doing that every night. Ha. ha.

        I have multiple alarms myself – one for WFH days, one for office days, one for weekends. (I have a weekend alarm so I get the pleasure of ignoring it if I want to.) I never delete them, I just edit them and turn them on and off.

        Nineteen alarms for one morning is just… turn them off! Don’t delete them!

        I have one ALARM alarm to wake up, and a bunch of schedule pips from Google Calendar. Reminder pings are just a built-in part of maintaining my calendar. I’m guessing that that is what Dorothy is deleting: scheduled events.

    As someone who sets alarms at awkward times intentionally (like 12:01 or 5:23) I can just instinctively tell that Dorothy’s are all at 15, 30, 45, and 00. Or at least multiples of 5.

      I think the implication is she’s triaging them. She said “all”, but she’s going through each one to decide. And even if she does delete them all, she gets to feel like she’s failing 19 times.

        I have a dozen or so alarms on my phone for weekdays. They’re all set a few minutes apart. They’re kind of like a snooze button, but harder to abuse and turn off en masse.

      For me, a mental health day (as opposed to a normal day off on the weekend) has to involve not doing anything that I don’t feel like doing in the moment. I don’t want to use the part of my mind that has to regulate me and be responsible; that’s the part that needs the most rest. I usually read a lot, eat peanut butter sandwiches instead of cooking, and get some light exercise in a pleasant location (like going for a walk in the woods). Sometimes I feel like tidying up or putting the laundry through the wash, but only if I feel like it.

      This is a method that I highly recommend, rather than trying to do Wellness Things ™ like meditating or yoga that I do sometimes but don’t have a habit of doing.

    I had a girlfriend once that would set her alarm like a half hour before she had to get up and just hit snooze a dozen times. It drove me crazy…

    But then I used to turn my alarm off and not get up, so I had to train myself to get up when the alarm went off the first time.

    Anyway, we didn’t stay together long…

    If someone has more than 2 or 3 alarms, you should be concerned

    I kind of wonder why she doesn’t just forcibly turn off her phone, or turn off the sound on her phone instead. Sounds like a way, way easier way to accomplish this goal.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
