Hollywood had essentially created a money-printing machine (the studio system) before tech came along and disrupted it, then once ZIRP ended the tech companies suddenly needed to make money and have been slowly reinventing the studio system

the serious answer is: they make way more money off ads than you'd pay to watch without ads, and they're gradually trying to move back to only having ad-supported tiers

those few months in which I forced myself to be enthusiastic for her were so difficult and somehow there are people who feel that way *all the time*

"have you ever heard of Yukio Mishima?"

yeah same, like how many hours of that do I need to do before I'm DLC-ready, and can I find someone to give me Dane's Footwork early in the game...

eh the boss is okay with me, it's really the time spent getting there / levelling appropriately

hmmm wondering how fast I could grind my way to the DLC to replay it

While I disagree with the idea that everyone needs to show up and listen to the Experts, my views on things like "setting dumpster fires" shifted enormously as soon as I started attending protests in the summer of 2020

most of the fucking "Santa Maria tri-tip" in LA is like "yah we bbq this over mesquite and then cover it with some east-of-the-Rockies BBQ sauce" and like. that's not Santa Maria tri-tip! that's not it at all!

this is literally the food of my people

Santa Maria BBQ in Culver City was legit as good as the best BBQ in Santa Maria or Bakersfield but they only do catering now 😭😭😭

you know how people are like "DON'T even read it, you don't even want to KNOW" and you're like uhhh yeah I can handle whatever horrible thing this describes? the full details of the Gaiman thing are one of the only times I wish I hadn't read them.

(I'm also convinced this is the case with the question of "are thongs the most comfortable underwear or the least comfortable underwear" though in that case I think it's physiological)

but I've seen people like you who just don't have this problem at all so I understand that it's not a universal experience, even if I can't begin to comprehend the other experience
February 3, 2026 at 1:56 AM
this is one of those things where I'm convinced that people have entirely different internal experiences in a way that's incomprehensible to the people on the other side. "on you or on the charger" is a sentence that straight up baffles me. there are so many use cases it doesn't cover!

I read near the end of the 2024 primary that Ron's campaign had basically destroyed her chance at it and she was furious about that
