You can now see kids in YouTube comments talking about how the early 2000s had all the good music and new stuff is crap. Time is a flat circle.

I feel this so hard! Sometimes I wanna be a little quiet, mysterious, wait for them to come to you. But someone says anything that remotely interests me and I’m suddenly jabbering like a turkey.

You’re mostly correct, points off for not giving blue to math. See me after class.
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 1 week ago:
I want to say that stick-built homes are really not so fragile as people seem to think. There’s tradeoffs, of course, and ways to build them that make them uncomfortable at best and blatantly unsafe at worst. That being said, they’re pretty sturdy, fairly easy to repair and modify, and relatively quick and cheap to build.

Thank God freedom units give us the liberty of doing away with that commie nonsense.

I mean cats can be a lot harder to handle after you poke them. What if you need to give multiple vaccines? What if you need to draw blood? What if you need to touch other parts of their body to look for issues? What if you need to examine their mouth? Some cats will put up with it, some (a lot) will not. It’s a lot safer and less stressful for everyone if you just use a sedative when needed.
- Comment on Anon hates aluminum 1 week ago:
What, lightweight yet strong? Versatile? Yeah I guess it’s like plastic, except the part where it’s also infinitely recyclable. Just where do you get off on this aluminum hate???
- Comment on Rules for Life 1 week ago:
I mean, sometimes cats need care and the vet doesn’t really have time to gain their affection before poking them with a needle or prodding them all over. Not every cat is a fan of that.

Whoa the crossed eyes thing is wild. The human body is weird.

Soda is in ounces until it reaches a liter. Alcohol is ml until you get to 40 ounces. Milk is always pints, half gallons, and gallons. Why?

You’re not wrong to be grossed out, but dog kissies give me the big dopamine so I allow it.

Unfortunately, mosquitoes are also pretty important pollinators (they only consume blood when laying eggs), and goodness knows we can’t really afford to lose more of those.
- Comment on Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, this same article can be written for Mini Golf games, or shmups, or visual novels, or any other genre that’s relatively easy to develop for. Once one gets popular, others will jump on because the barrier to entry is fairly low. Lots will be low effort clones, but some will really try to build something new.

Everyone and their mother is playing Balatro, and for good reason. Super fun deck builder based on a normal playing card deck and poker hands. Great music and visuals, too.
- Comment on It's always gets sloppy after the bars close 4 weeks ago:
Sloppy joes are great, just make sure to have a hearty, toasted bun so they don’t get too sloppy.
Honestly it’s been a few years since I had one, know what I’m making next week.

The mental health care thing is so frustrating.
Let’s enact some gun control laws because most guns used in mass shootings are bought legally.
“No, it’s a mental health issue!”
Well, then let’s fund mental health services and increase access to them.
“No, that’s not my problem.”
Played out again and again. I mean I know it’s all just deflection, but dammit at least try to have a consistent position.

Is this true? An article from 2022 indicates things are getting better, just slowly
Today, the ozone hole still exists, forming every year over Antarctica in the spring. It closes up again over the summer as stratospheric air from lower latitudes is mixed in, patching it up until the following spring when the cycle begins again. But there’s evidence it’s starting to disappear – and recover more or less as expected, says Solomon. Based on scientific assessments, the ozone layer is expected to return to pre-1980 levels around the middle of the century. Healing is slow because of the long lifespan of ozone-depleting molecules. Some persist in the atmosphere for 50 to 150 years before decaying.

At least on the bright side, people are becoming much more aware of accessibility. I’d argue that old sites were accessible mainly on accident due to most being restricted to fairly straightforward CSS and HTML. The advent of Javascript was a dark time…
- Comment on temperature 2 months ago:
I’m honestly just so tired. Could I snap my fingers and have the US switch to metric units with everyone understanding them as intuitively as the units they grew up with, I would. I really don’t have an emotional attachment to what letter appears next to the temperature.
We couldn’t even stick the the unanimously popular bill to abolish DST. This issue is so much further down the list of priorities that I don’t expect it to come up during my lifetime. To spend the next few decades arguing about it without any hope of anything changing sounds like my personal hell.

I mean you can do the same with a Fahrenheit thermometer, just check that it reaches 32. Most anyone used to that scale knows 32 is the magic number.

It’s honestly weird to remember that international releases were delayed months or years just a couple decades ago. Could you imagine if it took a year for BotW to release in the West?

- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
We can blame both. Yes I do blame our shit labor laws, but they’re shit because half of our country thinks (or claims to think) that corporations can self-regulate and will naturally operate in the best interests of the population. We do what we can on that front, but we shouldn’t let companies get away with shitty behavior just because they aren’t being forced to do the right thing. The more evidence of misconduct, the better.
