I ended up taking notes on Backrooms thoughts. I have a 4.5k word document of that now.

I've been thinking about Click a lot recently, and how it's a tragedy disguised as a comedy so effectively that it was critically hated, and I fear people not seeing what it truly is because it's falsely labeled as a braindead comedy. Turns out, I'm not the only one recently thinking about this.

Trying to decide whether to try making a Luanti game, a 2D game with the Love engine, try to make notes / a guide for a Luanti game / collection of mods I'm using or want to use.. or other things, like notes to try to make something about my thoughts on Backrooms. aaa

It astonishes me that Canadians from individuals to docs to politicians think nothing of meeting in the US aka on Zoom. Would we cross the border to discuss our medical history, hold a Council meeting, attend class? Of course not. But because it’s “Zoom” they do so unthinkingly. We need 🇨🇦 videoconf

Humans are animals. I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept. Fear? Self denial? Inability to accept material needs? Perhaps because we're forced to justify our existence by law that only truly serves a minority, and recognizing how deeply unnatural that is is too painful?

I woke up this morning just thinking about how the fundamental core of all problems we face right now is capitalism, and the only solution being proposed is capitalism. It's just sitting there staring us in the face but we're so deluded by the rich that we keep allowing them to make it worse.

Dear Apple, I disabled autocorrect, autocomplete, and the other automated keyboard tweaks. This means that when I type "now", you should not change it to "not" when I type another whole sentence AFTER it. But no, keep fucking changing things randomly while I'm typing. It doesn't cause ANY problems.

Trying not to be angry. I've been asking people to stop posting YouTube links with tracking codes because it's bad for privacy and safety, and it was dismissed every time. Then they started making those links automatically expose your account to whoever clicks on them. Suddenly, people care.

The primary organ of weight loss: your lungs. "To burn 10 kilograms (22 lbs.) of fat, a person needs to inhale 29 kg (64 lbs.) of oxygen. And the chemical process of burning that fat will produce 28 kg (62 lbs.) of carbon dioxide and 11 kg (24 lbs.) of water."

When somebody loses weight, where does the fat go?
Ruben Meerman and Andrew Brown explain why the answer might not be what you expect

I have thoughts about Backrooms. I don't know if I can put them in a coherent format. They are essentially all sorts of details about why/how it's very good.

But it behooves Jeffries to remember that Mamdani does represent more people than any congressperson and most US senators, so there's that. (All the states in green have fewer people than NYC.)

I thought in a language other than English for the first time, or at least the first time it came naturally to me instead of trying to focus on using another language. It was just me wishing to express "I'm here with you." and I just thought to respond with aqui (Spanish for "here").

I don't remember if I mentioned seeing Backrooms. Watch Backrooms. Read Piranesi. Listen to Everything Everywhere at the End of Time. Play The Beginner's Guide. These are all related. Perhaps only in the way the Backrooms are related to reality. But that's still fascinating.

Category 5 Literary Event I think what they meant when it sucks you in so deep you can't communicate with others. The worst I've experienced is a step below that, when I was researching some COVID-related stuff last month. That made me insomniac and a bit mad, but I pulled back.

When I encounter a problem with software on GitHub, then figure out how to fix my problem, and it was more than one search for how to fix it, I post an issue, and then answer/close it. Because part of solving problems is looking at issues, and it helps other people fix things in the future.

Every time I see someone mention "the curtains were blue" I think about how it's presented as a two-sided argument, but it's absolutely NOT. I wrote half a novel several times (most of it sucks), and some of it was supposed to have meaning, and some of it does not.

Wait. Wait. So like.. the paint might not have fallen off so fast if he wasn't so stupid as to drive a fleet over it immediately after it was rushed to "completion" without proper surface prep or cure time? That's even funnier.

Iron gall ink was used by Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare, Rembrandt, Isaac Newton, Pliny the Elder & Bach. Virtually any inked document from ~100 BCE to 1850 CE would have used ink inspired by a plant's deep-seated hatred of wasps. What ended iron gall ink? The rise of fountain pens!

Iron Gall Ink
Iron gall ink is one of the most frequently found inks in manuscripts from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. With a color ranging from blue-black when freshly made to a rusty brown when degraded…

Shellac is made from a 'bioplastic' produced by female Lac insects, 'Kerria lacca', native to Asia. They're sap-eaters & the tubes of resin are their protection, which can be harvested and solubilized in alcohol for a thousand applications, from early music records to Jelly Belly coatings.

Amazon is requiring you to login to look at reviews now. I don't use Amazon, but it was the only place I could see had reviews for something I was trying to help someone decide on purchasing or not. But I refuse to deal with this level of bullshit.
