I remember when you could just buy a computer program like Microsoft Word or Photoshop and just have it on your computer forever without having to pay monthly or yearly. What a time that was

We watched the original animated Lion King before the "live action" remake to get excited for it but it just highlighted how much worse the remake was. Much less colourful, drab, emotionless faces basically worse in every way. Just because you can use photorealistic models doesn't mean it's better.

How about using 2 screens to procrastinate faster?

Monday Bluesky tip; you're not going to be productive if you spend all day scrolling down your feed on your phone. At some point you need to get your shit together and scroll on your computer.
