they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

when I was a kid I had an old tv in my room that would always turn to unwatchable static in the middle of shows but one night my sister and I were watching Naruto & every time Kakashi was on-screen the static cleared so we were like “hahaha the tv looooves Kakashi.”

I had a Kakashi bookmark so we held it up against the screen as a joke but the static actually cleared up. Mystified, we tried different bookmarks and objects with the same plastic material but nothing else worked, only the Kakashi bookmark.

We ended up taping it to the corner of the screen and it stayed there for 11 years until we moved out. When I was older people would be like “can you move the bookmark off the screen” bc it did sort of block a bit of the view but I would demonstrate the static issue and everyone was always just like “huh. what the hell?? well…alright.”

No explanation, but thanks Kakashi.

I had a similar tv! It was a tv with a built in dvd and vcr because it was in college and I’m apparently old now. But! The dvd player never wanted to play- unless it was Chicago (2002). First, we would put that dvd in, let it start, and then swap it for the movie we really wanted to watch. It got to the point where we would put in the dvd we wanted and sing “he had it coming!!!” At the screen at volume. Fucking worked *every time*

Bizarre.

I miss when technology had real personality, instead of fake ones designed to generate lies and nonsense and spy on you.

Once again, I feel people on the internet are blowing things out of proportion. In this scenario, I speak about the 'Switch 2 is Overpriced' debate, and why I think it's full of shit.

First argument: The cost of EVERYTHING is going up. The only grounds I accept the argument is for Americans, because their minimum wage is shit and hasn't gone up in two forevers.

Second argument: Games are expensive to make. There's a lot more working part in a video game then there is in a movie or a book. This is only made worse by the fact that games keep pushing for 4k resolution 60+fps, when really, we don't need to be able to see the pours on a character's face. The game file doesn't need to be 50gigs to include ray tracing, or to be able to render every blade of grass on the camera. A good art style makes all the difference, and ages far better than photo-realism, but unfortunately, this is the way the industry is going.

Third argument: Behold these prices (Aus Dollar).

JB Hi fi:

EB Games:

Nintendo's still the cheap option compared to the PS5 Slim or Series X with disc drives. Even with Mario Kart World included, it's cheaper. And I didn't hear quite this much uproar about the launch price of the PS5 being nearly $800 here in AUS, with a price rise coming, apparently.

The conclusion I'm drawing right now is that people are only up in arms because Nintendo is having to keep up with the market price. You want 4k Nintendo gaming? Well tough shit, it's gonna cost ya, and in this market, it's still a better price than the competition.

Am I going to get it day one? No, I've still got to do some saving, and I've got Uni debts to pay off (which, again, being in Australia, is way easier compared to the US), and I want to get an SD card for it first, since it demands MicroSD Express, but I'm guaranteeing that, at some point in late 2025, I'll be buying one. I still don't see the value in getting a PS5, but the Switch 2 actually seems like a step up from the Switch.

TL;DR: Y'all are just being upset about inflation, and want to pin the blame on Nintendo.

just once I want to see a good post critiquing makeup culture that doesn’t turn out to be made by some janky radfem blog

oh hey!! I’m not a janky radfem I can do it myself!

makeup culture is wack and normalizes a ludicrously high bar as the bare minimum women can do. I saw a “lazy"makeup tutorial the other day that listed 22 separate goddamn products. you’re supposed to buy and know how to use 22 different things on your face just for the privilege of being considered lazy and that’s uuuuuuh what’s the word? bullshit.

Really, five products could work, even 3. Just frame the face, eyes, lips, and you’re done.

0 products also works great

because I’m gonna be real here, the idea that 22 products is a minimum sucks but it’s really upsetting that any amount of makeup is the bare minimum at all

I would really just suggest some powder foundation, concealer, mascara and lipgloss/lipstick, or tbh just mascara works too, but that’s up to you

I’m sorry if I didn’t express this clearly enough in the original post but I’m not really looking for more concise makeup regiments. my intention was to point out how it’s Bad that makeup is considered a bare minimum at all, regardless of individual feelings on the matter

no face should be “required” to have “a minimum” of makeup. makeup has no health benefits and does nothing but fill the pockets of companies that prey on women and our insecurities.

makeup should not be seen as hygiene because it isnt. get that shit out of your head.

this post: makeup culture is ridiculous and 22 products should not be considered a minimum requirement for someones face. no one should have to do that

the notes: so like……. what youre saying is……. we need to make the minimum about 5 or 6 instead… i gotcha

Really the only makeup you need is eyeliner but that’s just my personal opinion

okay

where did we lose you
