I've not read the books, but that does describe Q decently, though I think the show probably toned it down a bit from things I hear others say.

The Magicians. It's like a more mature and dark Harry Potter/Chronicles of Narnia crossover. It has really good character development and isn't afraid to have fun with things like musical numbers and self aware plotlines. The first season is the weakest of the bunch, but it's still pretty good. So give it a chance past then if you are still on the fence.

The reminds me of Levi from the show Scavengers Reign

I got an uncomfortable cooling sensation that couldn't be wiped off. It made the headache worse.

I'm pretty sure they mean The Magicians by Lev Grossman

I'm imagining that same instance still stuck open for years until you found out.

I've noticed that a lot of the negative news posts are all posted by a few users. I usually check their profile, and if I see that is the type of content they almost exclusively post, I block them.

I'm generally pretty informed, like you said, so I don't feel like it's being willfully ignorant. A good amount of it is pretty biased as well. So I don't feel like it's the best way to be informed.

The PBS spacetime youtube channel posted a video on this a few weeks ago. https://youtu.be/Q6kJaMf3Lgo

This may be obvious, but I want to add that you should skip if you are injured. Noting that being sore from a previous workout is not the same as an injury. Also, if you are significantly sleep deprived it may be worth skipping, since you won't be adequately recovered and that could also lead to injury. You will miss more days if you make an injury worse than if you play it safe and take time to heal. A day or two missed won't ruin all your progress. Just don't make up excuses.
