IMDB, there is simply nobody on Earth who has gone to Tarkovsky's page with the primary goal of finding out what three Additional Crew credits he has. What are we doing here

my aunt sends us a box of petit fours every year where some have letters on the top spelling out MERRY CHRISTMAS so then we spend time rearranging them to spell out different words and phrases

All the music in my library having a little arrow beside it that says 'downloaded'. You didn't download shit. You don't even sell a bunch of this

Is that their viewers might actually want measurements provided in both US customary units and in a metric unit. They are holding up the sky when they do a unit conversion once in their scripted content or copy both numbers off the spec sheet they were looking at in the first place

Once again remembering I need to rewatch it

The person across from me in this airport terminal is wearing a US Space Force toque, hoodie, and sweatpants

Don’t come a knocking

Normally when I travel I plan on checking a bag (as camera stuff takes up too much of a carry-on to fit everything else) so I put any liquids I need to bring there.

Today, I just had a carry-on bag but I had put the liquids in a different pocket than I remembered so I assumed I just forgot them when packing. Those liquids went through the scanner and the person didn't even notice. It's all a sham.

It is so annoying to deal with and yet do they have a single instance of it stopping anything? I bet that rule has a death toll and I bet it hasn't done shit.

Shoe thing also fake (Canadian security don't even make you do it. That's a TSA special) but it still feels more real

It should have to state it’s automated. This is not about LLM bullshit. Form emails should not get to pretend to be personal even if a human wrote it.

The expectation of this fake personal touch is the gross automation already

is corn

Why would i want a computer to tell me my ‘stats’ for the year? I can think and feel for myself

“It’s just a little fun”. It’s an ad. It’s all just trying to make you forget that the app doesn’t make the things you like. People do

My grandparents lived in the US, so every summer we'd drive down to visit them and some other extended family. One of the things I remember about there old house was the junk drawer in their kitchen. I remember it had playing cards, dice, rubber bands, and stationary. I truly don't think it had anything especially exciting or interesting for a young kid and yet I remember taking the time to root through it each time I was there. It was mundane but a slightly different mundane than I was used to.

Basically, this is my goal for one gross online

I feel like this site doesn't really count (though maybe I'll do some thinking about how I'm using it in the new year).

I started to do some planning for my year in review, and I realized I don't have somewhere I want to put it. The last few years I've thrown it on cohost and that seemed like the right place for it. I could reshare it a time or two and then it would fade away. It's not really something I need or want to be permanent.

Which is all to say, I added a sort of not-quite-blog to one gross online. Just a place to throw a few paragraphs of text. I've got some idle thoughts about Spelunky 2 there now. Whenever I have something new to say, I'll just write over it. It's like they always say, a cool URL is one that never changes. The logical conclusion is to keep it the same even as the content does. On the first I'll put up my ear in review. Maybe before then I'll have something else to say. Watch this space (or watch that one? [Watch neither and let your feed reader handle it for you?]). If anything there is worth keeping around I'll find a place for it.

I guess I did just write more text here to explain that I wanted a place to throw a few paragraphs of text. Best not to worry about it.

Was miserable.

removed word + added 'random' letter is too much for a clue. And then the amount of fill throughout the rest which is names of places/people and archaic words? fuck off

Actively hilarious that I thought I was going to recommend a movie every single week. I figured maybe I'd rewatch the movie and that would be it. For my new recommendation, I showed it to friends but also watched 3 additional movies. Anyway, project isn't dead (I'm still thinking about it a lot), but it is probably more like a monthly thing

for repeatedly calling John the Baptist Johnny Baps

I also think quantum computer stuff is never going to happen but I have way less background knowledge to back that one oup

I don't even dislike him, I just cannot imagine a single person choosing him over everyone else or even him winning a split vote with other directors
