I may have poisoned by YouTube a bit and now all of the video essays I come across are just gripe videos about the same thing that are 50% clips from TikTok It's tiresome anti-slop slop

If I had a nickel for every time I discovered a random content creator I followed currently lives in or is from Indianapolis, I'd have like five nickels, which isn't much but it's frankly shocking nonetheless

"Kid Rock takes joyride in Apache gunship to address the Pentagon on the Straits of Hormuz." Make A Wish ass government. I pay taxes for this. We could've filled some potholes or built a bridge or bought some barefoot little redneck kids in West Virginia shoes or some shit.

A near future-term conflict that I'm not looking forward to as a result of the files' publishing is it seems, at least at the highest echelons, Hanlon's Razor as a concept is basically dead and, in fact, it was just all malice. Trust as even the barest concept is on life support

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.

Having now unintentionally marathoned the Ace Combat franchise in celebration of the AC8 announcement (I'd started last month borrowing a friend's PS2), I think the Strangereal games as a package are very interesting when viewed so closely together.

It's frightening how quickly you feel a difference when you remove social media from your phone. I've opted to not engage with Insta at all, while bsky and facebook (with news feed blocker, so just groups) are still on desktop for me. Tying the internet to a place makes it less omnipresent

it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.

The one thing that lockdown actually took from me was my local symphony was supposed to do the live soundtrack to Star Wars 7 like two months after it all started. Hearing the brass live as the X wings skim the lake on Takodana would have been worth the cost of admission

This isn't speaking from a place of PC elitism but, genuinely, what is the value proposition of current generation consoles anymore? $7-800 plus 100/year to play online is just asinine Like, you can get a pretty solid PC for that kind of $, and that lets you use GOG and Steam. I just don't get it

Comments on a video I saw recently show there's a surprising paranoia from a nonzero number people about oily rags spontaneously combusting While it's good that people are cautious, only certain oils (like linseed) polymerize exothermically which can cause ignition, not just the presence of oil

I recognize many celebrities wish to be private people and I respect that, but it's almost a malpractice of fame not to at least have a publicist maintain official pages on all popular social media. When you don't, it makes convincing victims, especially elders, that they've been scammed challenging
