Optimistic nihilism is my chosen way of life. Here’s a really good kurzgesagt video on it: https://youtu.be/MBRqu0YOH14?si=2xh3B1eQJN4xosI6

[insert happy/sad bus meme, but both sides say “nothing matters”]

Another way of thinking of it, if you only get to experience this once, make it the best experience you can.

I don’t mind the pop up as much as I mind it being a pop up that tells you to go to another menu to change the setting. Why not just put the setting in the pop up?

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY WITH A BASEBALL BAT

This one will still be playable offline after the fact, so its offer is way better than the games that are the focus of the Stop Killing Games movement. The games they’re targeting are completely unplayable after being killed.

Dang. I thought I was the only person who had ever heard of this one. Might have to boot it up in an emulator one of these days and give it a go.

I speak from experience that no one other than professionals should be handling their own mail servers in 2024. I worked for a mail host. The amount of spam and attacks that befall a mail provider, even a small one, is bonkers. Plus, mail is just too damn important.

I wish it wasn’t the case because the idea of everyone privately hosting their own mail servers would be pretty awesome. Sadly the modern internet makes it way too risky.

Okay, but their teas are actually pretty darn good and not loaded with sugar. I agree about the water though.

(Although, aluminum is essentially infinitely recyclable compared to plastic, so is probably a better alternative to bottled water)

Infected Mushroom. They have a sound unlike anything I’ve heard anywhere else. I recommend the album Army of Mushrooms to newcomers, but their entire collection is solid.

Also The Program on Netflix. It’s a really well put together documentary made by one of the students at a similar school.

I watch this every time it’s posted. Might be my favorite from them.

There’s a movie called Unhinged where someone honks for too long at Russell Crowe’s character and the rest of the movie is him angrily chasing the main character. It’s absolutely hilariously unrealistic and it’s super fun to laugh at.

Relevant xkcd

What a deep cut. One of my favorite tracks from him.

This has the vibe of the Sims 2 voice that would leave for work saying “Shy-bye”.

Witchcraft!

I think about how many times things like this happen to individuals that don’t have the weight to warrant an article where their entire collection of online data just gets wiped out and Google responds with: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don’t trust your data to the cloud, folks.

For files, yeah. I was thinking of text.

Somewhat surprisingly, I’m not able to quickly find someone doing it on YouTube, but it’s the puzzle where there’s a cube propping open a wall panel where Ratman was. There’s several cameras in there. If you take all of the cameras and your cube, you can basically make some janky stairs and climb your way up to the next section.
