I wish I was playing Salmon Run

I'm here for browsing the fyp when I am bored in waiting rooms and stuff.

It's always so funny when cats try to groom your hair because they go into it so confidentially before being like

Uhhhuu...uuuuhhhuuu...what the hell is this.....how did this happen to you mother

lukegobrien: Behavioral psychologists and neurobiologists, after decades of research into the question of why Conan’s brain is the dysfunctional way it is, have finally determined the root cause to be head trauma suffered at the age of seven, perhaps from a severe beating. I’m sorry, America.

Nothing has aged me into a decomposing wreck quite like witnessing the enshittification of google. I feel like an ancient blathering relic when I hear "what did you do before chatgpt?"

Bitch I had google. I could summon the vast expanse of human knowledge with a few choice keystrokes. I could find recipes made by real human beings, written on unknown blogs because their recipe so closely matched my search terms. I could find entire research papers based off of barely remembered tidbits of them.

But now. The search engine that taught me basic particle physics & niche baking techniques & exposed me to brilliant comic artists & bloggers and more, is now a glorified chat bot.

A thing that hallucinates when its programming indicates that inventing is more efficient than copying. A thing that will amalgamate that vast expanse of human knowledge, which it alone can access, into its ever churning soup, but will no longer take me to the sources directly.

The gateway that used to bring me knowledge is now just a fire hose that sprays bullshit. Feels like watching the Library of Alexandria burn.

Whoa!

Longshot but does anyone remember what episode it was that Max and the band played an ABBA song, and Conan commented on it, and they had a brief back and forth? The one where Max kept going "ABBAAA!"?

It's in my head but I don't know how to look it up—what keywords to use and stuff—and I reference it but my spouse doesn't remember it. So when I find it I'm supposed to share.

I put up a bird feeder. Now, I wait. C'mon, birds!!!!!!!!!

[smallfryspork]

SUCCESS, male and female cardinals stopped for a bite to eat! Yay!!!!

[smallfryspork]

The doves have found the feeder but do not know what to do with it yet. I think they're too bulky for this feeder. :(

I either need to be able to do what I want to for a whole week, or ramble to someone about fun stuff like One Piece or Conan O'Brien.

Or both idk.

Sometimes it's really nice when a character is just good or interesting without being an asshole.

Monkey D. Luffy and Superman are good examples. Batman/Bruce from the first sections of BtAS was a pretty nice guy (grim and emotional but kind and not asshole-standoffish like many Batman iterations are).

"But that isn't realism!" well for one, I don't *need* my fiction to be realistic. I read history for that. But also I know people in real life that are just nice! They exist! Sometimes they have trauma and sometimes they don't, but they just are nice! There's nothing wrong with a character being a nice person!

And the fun thing is, there are different kinds of nice. Superman is a hero. Luffy is only ever accidentally a hero. BtAS Batman is a nice guy who cuts himself off from others in order to be nice on the whole. Nice does not necessarily mean one doormat cardboard person, there are lots of directions to take it.

“I don’t judge talk-show hosts, or anybody, by how they react to reviews from me or anybody else, I hope, but Conan O’Brien, who got the lousiest deal of any talk-show host ever (from NBC, of course) and is now tucked away on one of the Turner cable stations, not only forgave me for some very negative things I wrote when he started out but quoted a few of them in one of his celebrated hilarious commencement speeches (practically a second career for him). I thought that showed tremendous — uhhhh — self-loathing? No, no, it showed how very grounded and self-effacing he was. He has more pure integrity than any of the other boys, and maybe that’s why he ended up with “the fuzzy end of the lollipop,” as Marilyn Monroe says in “Some Like It Hot.” But we needn’t despair for Conan; he is reputedly making a fortune. He is undaunted and uncomplaining, two things no one has ever accused me of being. Send in your daunts, I cave. And complaining is, arguably, my life’s work. Sorry to have gone on so long with this, but then the late-night story keeps going on, too. Maybe Billy Carter is even planning to do another book — heaven help us. Conan is the guy who ought to get the last word. At what I think was his most recent commencement address, to graduating students at Dartmouth in 2011, he quoted himself — the last words he said on NBC before the “Tonight Show” was gracelessly yanked out from under him by executive goons and given back to Leno. Choosing to be grateful for the good things rather than bemoaning the bad, O’Brien told the students, “Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.” God bless him.”

Oh my God Joe Negri was still alive???? (And he died 11 days before his 100th birthday, whoa.)

I had no idea. He passed on May 30th.
