I’ll watch no anime for months, then I’ll find a show I really like and watch 6 episodes a day. Dungeon Meshi was that show recently.

I’ve always wondered what the hell these people do with all that space. I live in a 700sqft apartment and even that feels excessive (albeit living alone). If I had unlimited money and owned that mansion, I’d run out of ideas before making use of even 25% of the building.

There was a Mythbusters episode a while back that tested how many helium balloons it would take to lift a small kid, which this reminded me of.

you can tell how old this screenshot is because that comment is 9 years old now

My first job was in a grocery store deli, and let me tell you that is the worst job to have if your mental health sucks. My last few months there were spent hoping to get hit by a bus so I didn’t have to go to work. My last two weeks were the worst two weeks of my life. The customers I dealt with were some of the meanest people I’ve ever interacted with, all over a $7 bag of gross fried chicken and pasta salad.

This was a several years ago, I have since gotten a job in IT that doesn’t make me want to die, but this reminded me of one of few funny stories from my time in the deli:

Remember that They are incapable of reading signs in human languages.

We had a Lemon Capellini salad available. Capellini. Big sign in front of it, can’t miss it. Pronounced exactly how it looks. Capellini.

More than half of the people who ordered it could not say that word. A lot of people would stumble through the first two syllables and give up. Some people would throw in some extra letters and create a new word on the spot. Most people avoided saying the word entirely (“lemon salad”). At least one person asked for “lemon speghetti,” and I think I had two or three people ask me how it’s pronounced.

Capellini.

Well now I want a story about an ace cowboy woman

I haven’t had a chance to try the demo yet, but Old School Rally looks stellar.

They were still the best store in my area for blurays up until recently, and then they stopped selling them too. My local store hasn’t even done anything with the space either, just empty floor where blurays used to be.

Unless you’re watching Tenet, in which case the audio sucks no matter how good your setup is.

This is a topic people get really defensive about and I’ve never understood why. If you look at a discussion thread about the oil industry, everyone is in agreement that the world needs to reduce its dependency on oil and people seem open to changing their own habits to help with that (to an extent and where possible). Same with energy generation, most people are happy that solar and wind power generation is becoming more widely used, and even opinions on nuclear energy plants seem to be shifting to a more positive light.

And then there’s the meat industry, awful from a moral standpoint and detrimental from an environmental sustainability standpoint, and this is the topic where people are suddenly “wElL tOO bAd I’M sTiLL EaTiNg sTEak EveRY dAY.”

I do not get it. Like I’m not vegan, but I’ve still cut out almost all meat from my diet and will happily try out or switch to totally vegan options when possible. Vegans are right about this, even if some of them are assholes about it. I’m not going to defend my non-vegan choices in my diet, sometimes I’m just lazy, but I still try to be better because it’s the right thing to do.

Genuinely curious why this topic riles people up so much if anyone has an answer.

It’ll absolutely never happen, but it would be cool to see Ninja Theory make a sequel to Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

This video was great. If you want more smeary goodness, Ryo Onishi’s work on Dragon Ball Super Broly is so good: https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/75550

Cellar spiders are goofy as hell and I love them.

how dare you give me a meme idea and make me get out of bed to make it

Watching live service games crash and burn is just so cathartic.

Nope, I’ll even specifically avoid companies that I see or hear excessive ads for. When I needed to change car insurance a while back and had a list of options going, I immediately removed all the ones I could remember seeing advertising for.

Two reasons:

1. I have an unhealthy hatred of advertising.

2. They’re spending an absurd amount of money on digital spam as opposed to making their product/service better or cheaper. Some percentage of what you pay for in the product is to cover their advertising campaigns, and I prefer that percentage be as small as possible.

At 11:55 you can see the Gnome top bar, and at 14:50 he mentions it.
