The internet is wild, where you can watch a phrase be coined for one specific use, get co-opted by the mainstream, and turned into meaning the opposite of what it was trying to be in the first place. I don't know if there's a name for it beyond the euphemism treadmill, but it happens so much.

I mean one of the music artists that I listened to due to a game that I played was exposed for being a Nazi, and as much as his music was great, I feel like I'm better off listening to someone else who can make great music and not be that.

I enjoy reading, but 1) I’m kinda slow 2) it takes awhile for me to concentrate on it 3) I’ve read before bed so much that I think I’ve trained my body to start feeling sleepy after reading. So whenever I have to read for work now I just start getting more and more sleepy and that is not helpful.

And it's from the director of Birdman too, which I've heard very good things about (I'll see if I agree when I watch Birdman myself). Well I guess they can't all be winners.

Well because these people smell and taste disgusting so I would rather let them die on the street and move on with my life never hearing about them ever again

Didn't Final Destination 3 have a bunch of "Choose Your Own Adventure" deleted scenes where you got to choose what happened and who died? I wanna see that again for other films.

Unfortunately a “gotcha” has become synonymous with legitimate criticism because at best it puts someone on a their heels momentarily. Debate bros have made engagement a contest of seeming victorious in an argument instead of a dialogue.

Maybe we should stop treating politics like a game. The only ones winning are the narcissists in power and the ones losing are us.

Maybe it would also be easier for people to support these people if they actually promoted their positions that they stood for instead of trying to follow their party because "this group x will cost us the election if we support them!" Treating elections like a game doesn't help either.

I have a twitter as well because I wanted to stay in touch with a game community I'm with and every day I feel about nuking it. It happens with Bluesky once in a while too. Don't feel bad. Humans crave connection, but I think going outside and talking to people is better than social media.

I think there was a recent video talking about the joys of local play, and I just remember playing Wii Sports all the time with my twin brother when I was younger. I should really find more local multiplayer games.

One of Tim Curry’s most calmest yet chilling vocal performances in his career was Auntie Whispers from Over the Garden Wall.

Two amazing people died back to back?! Man, life just likes to fuck with ya just cause. I wish Dolly and Tim the best up there, and maybe we can carry on their legacy by doing the same thing that they did: care for others.

I guess life just likes to make our lives hell just for fun. This really hurts, even knowing that Curry struggled with his health for years.

Yep. Some years, life just likes to through you for a loop just because it's funny. It gets to be too much man.

It seems that news of Dolly Parton’s death has resulted in a flood of joyous stories and clips and photos of her. For a brief moment, she has managed to erase the toxicity of social media. A parting gift, if ever there was one.

I encourage you to give Coat of Many Colors a listen. It really does showcase who Dolly Parton was as a person the best, and it's a perfect representation of what she stood for.

Funny story, my older brother (who's 23 now) read the Harry Potter books when he was in grade school and was in the middle of the stupidly long fifth book when he said, "Man this is boring!" He closed it and never touched the franchise ever again.

This is also true for family members. Like, my mom didn't have no reason for cutting off her brother (my uncle) for being an asshole towards her. I also just hate how smug the article sounds just from the title, like they know better than you.

As this won't go away even after Trump leaves, I think it's important to note that community building and being kind towards others won't. I know those Flock cameras won't go away overnight (they'll replace it with something else), but that won't deter me from helping people.

Do you think it's a result of implicit bias? Because they have grown up with this system and may have benefited from it in some way, when they argue (in good faith) for certain groups like trans people, they might support something that perpetuates the problems we have right now.

ZMan @zmanzach.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

This is why I don't like when writers make stuff like this super obvious. Yeah sure, they get the basics, but they don't understand how deep this actually is, and more often than not they just want social brownie points for it.

Because mainstream is always stuck in stereotypes and always has been. And always will be. And they will never move past that.

When they got sued for violating COPPA, YouTube said it would use "machine learning" to ensure they would determine what was kid friendly or not. Same fucking thing. "We will use AI bots to determine if it was AI". This company never fucking learns.

Unrelated but that's what bothered me so much about "our attention spans are shrinking!" I don't know about you, but I thought people had naturally short attention spans. That's why we're so bad at foresight, because we always think in the short term.
