Dr. Yiff Revitalized

I still hate this place.

[intercal]

OK I think I found the winner, this is the pipeline:

blur 0x1

quantize as YIQ/YUV

convert down to 32 colors with dither

scale down by 1/8

sharpen 3x3

scale back up to original size

the imagemagick command I used for this was:

magick input.jpg -blur 0x1 -quantize YIQ +dither -colors 32 -filter point -resize 12.5% -sharpen 3x3 -resize 800% output.png

Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 contain a glitch known as "Launch Star Displacement" whereby entering a Launch Star while Mario is slipping will cause his launch trajectory to change.

As most targets for launches are small planetoids relatively far away, and most locations in the game are surrounded by empty space, even a small trajectory deviation statistically often results in Mario missing his target and flying into the void.

The footage shows this happening in Boo Moon Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Mario very briefly slips on the edge of the purple Snake Block while entering the Launch Star. While he is supposed to land on the crescent moon planetoid, he ends up missing it entirely and dying.

lmao I almost couldn't believe it so I looked it up and yeah they DEI'd the Oscars

...and apparently have for a while now (these were from 2024), but I've paid so little attention to that shit I never even realized.

It's not like I had a shred of respect for Hollywood or its awards ceremony circle jerks, but I do find it funny that a group of people so far up their own ass about their "art" will then turn around and make their craft secondary to checking the right employment boxes.

thinking about that last reblog, and I think that stuff is laden with traps

or maybe trap is the wrong word, but when you talk in generalities like that it can come off as a disapproval of people who don't conform to those expectations.

What I mean is, I think it's ok for a woman to choose to have a career and not a family. It doesn't make them broken. Though personally I feel a life like that is empty, you can also simply never meet the right guy and so on and so forth--sometimes shit doesn't work out

And that's valid. But valid isn't good enough, it has to be celebrated. And that's the weird thing. Like, to use another example, being a single parent fucking sucks. It's not something to champion. It can happen for many reasons, being one doesn't automatically mean you're a bad person...but also it should be avoided.

Compassion is important but you also don't want to promote these lifestyles either. Children raised by a single parent generally turn out worse. It's not something a society should encourage. This can co-exist with the idea that becoming a single parent doesn't inherently make you bad.

But we can't do that. That takes too much effort. Nah who needs a man, have a couple kids and raise them yourself while working full time, that's awesome and girlboss or whatever.

And this is but one example of course, and maybe it goes back to the lack of responsibility in society.

"You fucked up but you're still a human being with value" isn't enough, it has to be "not only did you not fuck up what you did was amazing and so are you :)"

...and I feel this all runs alongside the inability to acknowledge statistical generalities.

haha yay! *starts making sugars*

[m41-d]

i love this post and always reblog it because it reminds me of a game i used to play in the bath tub as a child which was called “plant sugars” and the premise was that i was a plant organism and i had to produce starches to store in my tuber

I'd still have all the anxiety and other poisonous personality aspects to deal with but if I had another run at life I feel like I could at least make some bold, new mistakes

The traditional take here, from the media I've consumed, is that oh no, all your mistakes made you who you are and you should treasure every heart-wrenching, life-ruining mistake...if you change any of them who KNOWS who you might end up being!

...and you know that works to make fuck-ups feel better about being fuck-ups, and it may even be true in some cases, but some pain is truly needless. You don't need to learn every lesson in the most brutal way possible to grow as a person. And maybe some pain...makes you worse. Not everyone bounces back, many of us come back changed and not in a good way.

So really it's just one of the many things we tell ourselves. It's a lie, but if we repeat anything enough times there's a solid chance our minds will decide it has become true.

Anyway where were we? Ah yeah I'd do unspeakable things to roll things back to 99-03, I don't think present reality 2026 dr yiff is really anything worth writing home about, and maybe there's a version of me that is 15-30% more functional because they didn't shatter their entire life 2-3 fucking times over shit that could have easily been avoided.

Another great piece from Freddie DeBoer this morning. He talks about the paralyzing fear of looking old and uncool from the perspective of, e.g. college professors and journalists in merciless, cutthroat professional environments, but I see it on tumblr too, where we have no PR to maintain and no economic incentives to coddle our customers students. You will never convince me that "lol lmao nothing matters cheat and lie and steal all you want society is a sham" passing as "socialism" is anything more than the repressed self-loathing of Smart Kids who wish they were Cool Kids. I think, relative to a few years ago, that people are realizing that loudly forswearing the concepts of personal responsibility and work ethic just so you don't "sound like a boomer" makes the world a very shitty place very rapidly.

(DeBoer, being a man in his early 40s with a 1-year-old son, comes back to the "aging is natural, time comes for us all, it's our youth-fetishizing society that makes people feel bad about it" well a lot, and I nod along and think this is all reasonable and sad-but-true and people would do well to internalize it, while simultaneously feeling like I would murder someone to be 18 again and staring down middle age like it's a death sentence.)

consequence of kids spending time in age-segregated fake environments. not only do they never meet anyone 40+ who's unambiguously cooler than their age bracket, the modal adult they meet is a DMV clerk. delete high school and this all goes away :-)
