I kicked off 2025 by finally deleting both my Instagram and Facebook accounts. Do yourself a favor and ditch social media. You will be a healthier human.

WordPress is dead. Those contributors have all been there for ages. Without them behind it and Matt continuing to shit where he eats, there’s no coming back. It will stick around because it runs a metric fuckton of the web, but I foresee it basically being in a state of super unexciting maintenance mode.

How to say you don’t understand gender without outright saying it.

The article says that you do indeed get punished for leaving.

I too yearn for the Quake 3 days.

There is absolutely no reason to buy a Ubisoft game anymore, or from any large studio that is trying to appease shareholders first and foremost. They aren’t making games for you to have fun with; they’re making games to extract as much money from you as possible. Instead of giving you fun quests and characters, they are behind the scenes trying to figure out how to manipulate you. Fuck that noise. The last game I paid full AAA price for was Elden Ring because From deserves my money.

This dude is burning down his entire city just to prove some vapid point.

My wife and I rewatched Severance S1 in preparation for S2. What an absolute mindfuck that show is and I love it.

Had a boss years ago here in the US that told me I had used up all of my PTO during a time of mourning and funeral preparation. My dad was dying/died during that time and the boss was telling me this because I had to take 2 weeks off to spend time with my dying father who was in Hospice with cancer, as well as arrange the funeral and care for my mom.

The empire can’t burn fast enough.

He once told a friend he wanted to buy an old church. Puzzled, his friend asked what for, assuming he meant to live in like some weird rich recluse might do. Nope. He wanted to buy it so he could give sermons to people about his ideologies.

I recently took up lock picking as a hobby. It’s fairly cheap (you can get a beginner pick set from Covert Instruments for $25) and it’s fun. It helps me disconnect from screens and I slow down a bit. You can pickup a bunch of used padlocks and practice on those, or you can buy practice locks online for pretty cheap.

Ugh, thanks. Capitalism always sides with the fascists.

What’s the context of the “coward” text? The original said “pray” and it was about Apple making itself relevant again and not folding.

I’m looking forward to 6 because I like Anthony Mackie (Twisted Metal was awesome) and want to see how his story goes. The MCU has felt unmoored and that could be a good one in the mix.

Looking forward to 1, 2 and 6. The rest aren’t on my radar.

A lot of this stuff capitalizes on our desire for nostalgia. When shit is going bad, you reach for something you know and remember fondly. Capitalism banks on that. That’s why we have so many reboots and sequels. It’s not a bad thing if they’re not obvious cash grabs and you just need a pickup, but it’s also very lazy. It’s another sign that a cultural plateau is where everything is at.

The reality is that the majority of movie viewers want more of what feels safe.

They pushed these changes on Christmas Day.

Thanks lmao. Never thought I’d own the domain enjoying.yachts and I’ve owned a ton of domains. I initially tried to get sinking.yachts but it’s taken. I also own guillotine.club but am still working on a use for it.

Him being too wealthy to have conflicts of interest suggests that he’s comfortable where he’s at financially, and isn’t trying to further enrich himself through government channels. But we’ve all seen how capitalism works and it has zero ceiling. It continues to amass wealth regardless of anything, and Musk is doing the same.

This strikes me as just another bootlicker yelling “pick me!” from the sidelines.

I broke my wrist at the start of 2023 and the bill to me after insurance was $6k lol. I saw the bill the doctor submitted to insurance and it was $40k. The ambulance bill came in separately at around $800.
