They need to invent a type of exercise that doesn't absolutely fucking suck to do.

[teaboot]

As someone who hates exercise and has terrible proprioception these are the only physical activities I've been able to make myself stick to, so here are my recommendations

Swimming. Throw yourself in some water and don't die in it

Martial arts. Throw yourself into combat and don't die in it

Take exactly enough change for one bus trip and get on the bus. Get out a few miles away. Either you get home eventually or you don't

[shocklight]

To add onto 2, HEMA swordfighting classes are really cathartic and it's easy not to notice how much exercise you're getting from trying to hit somebody with a longsword.

I had a customer with a painting who asked for a frame specifically made of mango wood. I told him we don't have mango wood and I'd never worked with it before, and suggested wengé wood instead. He simply would not let it go that he wanted mango wood, could I order some specially or find it somewhere else, so I asked why he was so insistent on l that particular kind of wood. He told me he'd bought the painting in Africa and therefore wanted a frame made of African wood, and chatgpt told him mango wood was from Africa.

I had to carefully explain to him that mango trees typically grow in tropical Asia and if he wanted an African wood, well, as it so happened, wengé grows there.

It took several attempts to convince him I was right.

Someone opposite me on the train the other night was doing a mock exam off their phone for a cabin crew position with an airline, except the questions were all multiple choice generated with ChatGPT and they were just writing down the answer key without writing down any of the actual answers or revising anything. I saw them flick through their notebook. pages on pages of answer keys without any further context.

is there anything worse than accidentally putting on the non-explicit version of an album? where is my beloved wife fuck and my beautiful daughter cunt?

[foone]

I've been saying for a long time that music streaming services need a "never show me radio/walmart edits" option. I never, EVER want to hear a censored version, that's 1000 times more offensive to me than the worst swearwords

[shocklight]

Fortnite Festival had a unique (read: bad) approach to this where they can't seem to agree on what level of censorship should be applied.

So DMX growls and barks a lot, where other artists like Cypress Hill are subject to very conspicuous silences in the middle of their tracks. Doja Cat and TLC are silent when they should be saying 'ass' and 'broke ass' respectively, and almost every other artist's asses are also suppressed, but Cypress Hill is allowed "slammin' that ass" for some reason.

They have no issue with the Backstreet Boys asking if they're sexual. Basket Case by Green Day is unedited. I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic! is also completely uncensored. Outkast is allowed to sing 'cum'.

Fortnite Festival will let kids of any age hear the word 'whore' in multiple songs and P!atD even gets a 'god damn' in there untouched. But god forbid somebody should hear the word 'ass'.

anybody out there hiring gay losers. ideally a 100k/year salary and i work for one hour every day when i feel like it. thanks

The mere concept of a resident evil male nude mod is so funny to me. Boy put that boaner away lest a sloppy little critter grabs hold of it

[shocklight]

if this is the one I think it is, the creator specifically makes these to contrast against the huge number of nude mods catered to straight men

and he has done:

Goku

Nero

Cloud Strife

Nathan Drake

Red Hood & Nightwing

Leon Kennedy. So much Leon Kennedy

the NURSE MANNEQUINS FROM SILENT HILL 2

and of course this opened the gates for another modder to deliver

Cal Kestis

Swimsuit Stormtroopers

Spider-Man

Venom

so it really is the best time to start playing video games. they're full of so much plot and narrative and gameplay. possibly other things but I wasn't paying attention

My discord server's pokemon bot made an error

I'd like everybody seeing this to be aware that this bot depicts pokemon in their expected habitats.

Except for Zigzagoon, who is always depicted in space.

One of my favourite things in media is when a creature with no family, no lineage, and indeed no discernible society to call its own nonetheless has a surname.

[prokopetz]

@zerragonoss replied:

Trying to think of an even more extreme version of this and now I am wondering if any media has a creature with an epitaph instead of a first name and a surname. “The Beast who Devours in Darkness” Smith does have a certain ring to it.

[shocklight]

and in the other direction

the Aelfir (fascist high elves from Spire: The City Must Fall) have regular-ass given names and surnames that might be epitaphs or seemingly disconnected haiku lines or scary foreshadowing attempts

crazy how clint eastwood by gorillaz is like, certainly amongst the top 100 songs of the noughties considering it is, on paper, a song by a fake cartoon band where del tha funkee homosapien raps about how he’s a ghost possessing the band’s fake cartoon drummer over a beat which is literally a yamaha keyboard’s dub preset

The core conceit of Lord of the Rings is pretty funny. You are a twenty three year old in a suburb of Maine. The little bracelet in your grandpa’s attic has an inscription on it that is the password to the world’s entire nuclear arsenal. It is up to you to walk to the only hydraulic press in the world, located in Arizona, before the FBI finds the bracelet, kills you, and enslaves the suburb of Maine you currently live in
