  Beat me to it.

  RIP 😭

  There’s a soda machine in seattle on the sidewalk of some random street not near any store, that someone stocks with random cans of whatever. Stuff I would have bet money doesn’t exist, sometimes. Never heard anyone mention it, but when I brought it up they were like “oh yeah that haunted vending machine.”

  A long time ago my dad bought a full blown surround sound set-up, and I got so tired of not being able to hear that I spent days fiddling with the settings to no effect. Went online to do deep dive research and people just kind of hand-waived with a generic “buy a better setup and try different settings”. Completely gave up on good audio and leaned into the subtitle life.

  Maybe if someday I could afford a bigger place I’ll try again. I did get some high quality speakers for my PC, but the years of disappointment lowered my standards so much that I didn’t even notice the left speaker was off because I didn’t slot the copper wires correctly for many months.

  It’s a quick-draw stance, I believe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WrestleMania was running wild on you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point, but it’s still an annoying meme format because of the nonsensical double negative on nobody saying nothing.

  I know I’m alone on this hill, but I’ll die here.

  TIL, thanks

  I didn’t listen to much music for the better part of a decade, mostly because I wasn’t driving, then it occurred to me one day that I could start streaming it during a lot of the stuff I do. Probably doubled how much music knowledge I had in two years.

  No one’s talking about anon’s weird assumption that authors go from idea directly to manga, and not that most authors start by writing a novel to attract a sponsor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is Illiterate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how Wildbow does it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is Illiterate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A while back I read several bad books in a row and decided to try manga for a break. Some of them were good, others weren’t. Then I got frustrated because most of the stuff I was reading wasn’t finished, so I sought out the source material novels that were further along. Ended up finding some really good books that I otherwise would have never knew existed.

  Highly recommend the Ascendence of a Bookworm novel.

  Aluminum is a weird choice because it’s almost always alloyed with other metals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨suckcess⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah that sounds nice, it’s almost certainly a cultural thing haha. Here in the US it sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨suckcess⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if it really becomes too much, they will just assign others to help you out

  I can’t even imagine this actually happening, even at the better companies I’ve worked at. Closest I’ve seen is when someone is so overloaded that they quit, then management decides to hire two people to replace them so they can “catch up”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

  Better to just accept the gifts for yourself and let them fire you. I imagine a juicy wrongful termination suit would be appropriate.
