Have you suffered enough to justify your existence today?

Star Trek and Shakespeare convention: Live Long and Prospero

"Bukkake".

"Baby shower".

Fell over a chair and hit the side of it pretty hard, got some pain going but I think I'm fine. One of the chair arm guards is broke though. Not a fan of being clumsy but at least I don't feel anything broken in me

gosh I sure hope that on the next Chapo Trap House they can get liberal zionist David Sirota as a guest to talk about [checks notes] tax reform!

Whenever Anglos are first exposed to the Irish language written down they're always like "omg haha it's so weird thats not how you should write those words". FUCK OFF!!! ITS A DIFFERENT FUCKING LANGUAGE!!! It's way more grammatically consistent than English, you just can't read it because it's a different language. There's a million interviews where an American talk show host has an Irish person on and goes "haha Aoife, that's a weird name! Haha Saoirse, that's a weird name!" Fuck off fuck off fuck offfff

"I hate power of friendship" mfers when Ethan Hunt does the impossible.

John wick: ends up being purposeless after getting his revenge. Bond: ends up being a self desctructive asshole. Ethan hunt: fights for his friends.

Guwss who ended up saving the day most?

So few hours in the day when you have to keep working doubles. I may go back to my old habits of waking up super early just to exercise.

Are dick measuring contests judged on precision or speed?

I just passed the CompTIA Security+! I now have the CompTIA Trifecta complete!

I got an estimate to fix my car and the guy doing it kept talking and talking. He was mostly pleasant, but I have a hard time with long interactions with people who don't know me.

I'm fairly certain I'm neurodivergent because "being normal" is exhausting for me. When I'm with people who know me, I'm fine, I could conversate for hours. But with strangers I feel like I'm an actor in a play I really don't want to be in.

Did you know that face cards were invented to prevent Christians and Muslims from playing the same card games?

Not to brag, but I won the award for oldest person ever

i have encountered a new kind of guy: committed "Hungarian Freedom Fighter" defender with her own self-published book about grandpa the "Hungarian Freedom Fighter." did you know i'm a liar for thinking that there being a "Hungarian Freedom Fighters Incorporated" that the CIA worked with to escape some "Hungarian Freedom Fighters" means that the CIA generally supported them? i guess i respect still advocating OG anti-tankieism in 2025 because that's pretty funny?

I find watching Sean Foo's videos worthwhile but his heavy use of generative AI for infographics and charts kinda makes me queasy

Next week on Jubilee, Liz Franczak vs 20 Rationalists

Been reading Melenchon's book and I gotta say this shit it pretty handwavy and reads like a second draft

Watching the recent Did You Know Gaming video on Gunpei Yokoi made me curious to check out the Japanese biography they mentioned ({任天堂|にんてんどう}ノスタルジー {横井|よこい}{軍平|ぐんぺい}とその{時代|じだい}). I thought it'd be fairly inaccessible, but I was surprised that I was able to get through the intro without too much difficulty—still very slowly, mind you, but I wasn't running to the dictionary every other word as I had expected. It's making me realize I might be setting myself up for failure by trying to read novels, since they tend to have all kinds of flowery language whereas nonfiction has more straightforward prose. I'm not sure I'm interested enough in Gunpei Yokoi to read this particular book, but I'm sure I can find some neat nonfiction books in my areas of interest that haven't been translated yet.

Everytime someone shoplifts one of the chocolate bars from the oxfam when im on shift i just do the NL bit about imagining them dying in a car crash later that day because they were too distracted eating their chocolate bar

My brain at 3AM:

If Grimbeard did an Umineko Review, he would give the Rat Roundup the lowest score possible: .

Congratulations to the 5 people that have fried their brains enough to also understand this.

Hate to think in terms of grind set unironically or optimization culture but it is tempting when my time has been getting more and more limited these days. Spent an hour or so making some tofu patties yesterday so these days I can spend less time getting lunch ready and heading to the gym when I can in the afternoon. I also got a solid 40 minutes to myself when commuting better spent on listening to theory instead of belting out warbles to my fav or songs. I remember taking the bargain of healthy eating, fasting and gym for a longer life and part of me wants to enjoy it by doing nothing but nothing is ever guaranteed so I need to make the most of my time hence why I been thinking about this.
