i love how when you search for a recipe you get a list of links to near-identical recipes on near-identical websites that are all named "recipesby[woman's name].com" with near-identical AI portraits and bios. i think it's great that things are like this.

actually nothing more depressing than a medical form that makes me list my amount of education in years followed by an occupation field where I get to put "unemployed"

btw if you remember No Man's Sky coming out 10 years ago and are wondering if it ever "got good," or you know it did but dropped off, highly recommend the current anniversary expedition that's out, it walks you thru every update so far with audio commentary from Hello Games.

Thinking about this exchange today

A YouTube video for the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The comments section has an exchange as detailed below. “@TheMrdangles16 • 11y ago:
i hate the water temple... too confusing :(“ “@KeithHalsell • 2y ago:
it's been 9 years, i hope you are doing great in life now.” “@TheMrdangles16 • 2y ago: it couldn't be going worse Keith.”

A photo of the menu for the ice cream chain Swensons's in Bangkok. Three kids' sundae options are displayed: Sweet princess, with strawberry syrup and big waffle ears; Little prince, with chocolate syrup and chocolate wafer ears; and "Mr. San Francisco," a pink scoop of ice cream with a chocolate and sprinkle-covered waffle cone hat, topped with a cherry.
