Steven Universe makes it look so easy

I don't think he was trying to make literal statements with things like that. Yes, he used sociopolitical commentary as his medium, but he was still a comedian.

He's not trying to convince his audience that everybody is stupid, he's speaking to a feeling most of us have had when looking at what others are doing. Everyone sometimes feels like like everybody around them must be stupid, just like we all sometimes feel like we're the only one missing something.

He's beloved because most really talented comedians can derive humor from relatable or absurd situations and stories, but Carlin could make a rhythm linking broad abstract concepts of human experience to really specific examples.

He's not a god, he was just a really talented comedian that had a unique style and medium.

I always respected that they used the whole spaghetti

How much thinking is overthinking?

And do you mean how often do I overthink, or are you asking to what extent do I overthink?

I've been raving mad about this exact shit for years.

I'm not a developer, but I remember how long pre-smartphone would last with little 500mAh batteries. Even after 3g and into 4g connectivity and well after the proliferation of less efficient Bluetooth a phone would last anywhere from 3-14 days between charging.

Now every phone has 3,000-4,000mAh batteries and, besides 5g, the wireless standards have become significantly more efficient.

The only notable offset is the big touch screens, but even those have gotten more efficient, and seems not to matter because standby time is still trash now too.

I doubt there's a continous A/V feed to servers, but 100% our phones are always listening for keywords/phrases locally and then sending "relevant" data back for ads, on top of the always on location tracking.

It's hilarious that phones cost as much as they do, considering how unwieldy and low screen-time they've become, on top of the idea that we're paying to be tracked.

That's how I always felt, but after using Apple track pads for so long, my reflex for scrolling has changed.

Because I use my track pad and mouse interchangeably all the time, I just need them to use the same direction for scroll.

Big deal, I do that every time I have Benefiber with a cheese pizza

The YouTube Channel "Rose Anvil" is a leather worker and their entire channel is about shoes. They routinely take big brands and cut then in half to do an in-depth breakdown of their materials amd construction.

They made a video recently about a brand someone else mentioned in this thread.

They also have videos where they show their favorite shoes from the past year and what they like to wear personally.

Rectum?! I hardly know em!

I 100% recommend TWIT, best tech podcast I listen to.

I usually listed at 1.2x speed with gap skipping on, because they can talk a bit slow.

Really great for weekly overviews of tech news, and excellent guests.

What about the infinite marathon runner from Stan Lee's Superhumans show?

Dude could run indefinitely with no wear-down, and they found he wasn't producing lactic acid like everybody else.

Is that really not related?
