I get scared to start new games, especially ones where I will have to watch a ten minute movie about what the game is about. I sometimes start them up then quit them quickly, saying to myself, "not now. I can't do it just now."

I’m honestly appreciative that they split wicked into two movies, because in 20 years, who’s watching that second movie. It’s like a genius way to make one iconic classic

I spend a surprising amount of time stewing about chesterton’s fence. Not even coming up with new reasons to hate it, just mentally relisting the three or four reasons I already hate it and getting mad

Hey to all food creators online: I personally don’t like it when you say “bone apple teeth” or any other kind of quirky variation on bon appetit. Do whatever you want, but I vote “no” on saying bone apple teeth, if you were wondering

of course most people agree with me, but one interesting sort of reply so far has been like "since this sort of bad relationship does happen sometimes, and can be a real problem, what's really the issue with the article." and frankly I just think "emotional truth" is a bad thing
I got too annoyed and made little video youtu.be/MApM6PDclzo?...

there's a guy who judges people's interior design decisions, and at the beginning of all his youtube shorts, he introduces himself as an interior designer. it would be like if I began a movie review with "as a movie reviewer" it really stings every time

the only aspect of YouTube's UI that I truly hate is that every time I make a shorter than average video, they inform me that my audience is bored by my video because view time is lower than usual

what happened to the word "handicapped"? I just heard a YouTuber say it and thought it sounded very old fashioned and wondered why it's not around anymore. is it offensive for some reason? do disabled people not like it?

The End of the Tour, the David Foster Wallace movie, is so weirdly nasty. I read a Brett Easton Ellis (author of American Psycho) very negative review of it, but even that hardly does service to the weird nastiness of this movie

pretty crazy about those hostage releases amiright. Hard not to feel like Israel could have had a deal like this made long ago, given the fact there is still no promise from Hamas to de-weaponize or anything. still, it's an exciting day

I really like the joke people do where they pretend to have just learned about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, and are like "oh my god". If you're ever wondering if you should make that joke, just keep in mind that it would probably get a smile out of me
