Yoshi and Kirby respectively

I just think they’re neat.

I think climate denial will look pretty funny in hindsight after agriculture has broadly collapsed leading to mass famines, and a bunch of coastal cities are several meters under toxified saltwater.

Like, that thing I just described is the optimistic scenario, where humanity/society survives despite things turning way shittier. It could be much worse.

Counterpoint: A lot of things that are aggressively “of their time” end up as iconic period pieces after some twenty years.

I am fully aware

I fear every person from any of those cultures. Those who sleep on hard surfaces are not to be trifled with, for they are stronger than all of us.

Pots, pans, and knowledge of cooking.

Oh, and enough garlic to fucking nuke Transylvania.

See memory foam is cool and all

But my point is that even the simplest pillow consisting of a linen sack with some animal nonsense inside it is still an exponential improvement over not that, or worse, those wooden head-supports that they still use in some eastern cultures.

I’m biased, I just sorta… Like all animals. All of them. So this reply is just my mood for today:

Mammal: Raccoon. The grabby hands, the masks, they’re just cool little guys

Bird: Crows. Clever and playful caw caw boys. Capable of incredible feats of animal intelligence.

Reptile: Tegu. The cats of the lizard world.

Amphibian: Poison dart frogs. Danger bois. Don’t touch. But they look so cool.

Fish: fish are not valid

Crustacean: Coconut crabs! They are big and cool.

Insect: Ants. Eusocial insects are really cool.

Mollusk: those really big snails that look like slime bunnies

Worm: Leeches. They’re cool to look at.

Arachnid: Jumping spider. They are smols.

Consider the humble pillow.

SI?

Right. Gonna do that with the humidifier

That I need

To make my room bearable during drought season

Or the split AC.

That I also need

To make my room bearable during summer.

Can you see how that would be a problem?

People who make electric devices are putting blinding blue LEDs in a million places they do not and will never belong.

Which one

At least game cutscenes tend to be less mumbly. Even IF the volume of things is all over the place.

TV and Movies? Fuck me, it’s like actors all forgot how to talk and instead just mumble every line.

Same, all my electronics look like abominations of electric tape, it’s the only way I can have them not light up my room at night.

Packaging for supermarket products should have what the product is big and the branding small. Not the other way around.

Oh. Sound mixing on movies/tv shows should be such that voice lines are always perfectly audible even on shitty speakers. Make actors e n u n c i a t e like they did in the 30s. Christopher Nolan has a lot to answer for, turning all of media into mumblecore chief among those things.

I just like getting my dumb blorbos without having to have a spreadsheet of where to find them scattered over 20 different services

Portuguese Wikipedia

I misunderstood the line that says “O Brasil se soma a uma lista de mais países que reconhecem o Estado Palestino,(…)Reconhecendo também a Organização para a Libertação da Palestina (OLP), desde 1975 como “legítima representante do povo palestino”.” as meaning we’ve recognised the state of Palestine officially since '75

Apparently, according to the govbr site OP linked in reply to me above, stuff is a bit more complicated than that but ye.

The list from english wikipedia says my country (Brazil) only recognised Palestine in 2010

But in portutugese wikipedia it is said we’ve recognised them since 1975.

I don’t know which one is right, so.

As I said in a different thread:

I might be this close to butlerian jihad thought when it comes to AI as an invention

But if it must come to pass, better it be on the back of community owned and controlled models than a couple of megacorps.

Bitch

Buying a game during a trip to another town, being away from your computer for a week, and spending the entire week just fondling the game box, reading it, reading the papers that came inside, doing game foreplay.
