Watched Asteroid City recently for the first time. I thought the play within the movie (and the intertwining back and forth of storylines) was really interesting and entertaining.

JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT. MUCH JOY HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND, DARE I SAY, WROUGHT.

Someone did my tarot recently, and I didn’t realize the second way existed. Paired with introspection after the fact, the experience was quite therapeutic.

Oh, thanks!

(Sorry, what game is this from? Pretty cool silhouette!)

Were you ever in marching band? I got relatively good at that after putting my all into marching band in high school.

What was it?

It’s a Q: a bunch of vowels are lined up behind it!

It’s fun! Tumblr has been basically singlehandedly supporting the textpost meme industry on Instagram for years. I like that Tumblr tends to tilt toward text rather than words; here’s my favorite example of that:

If you’re thinking of joining, the #1 thing to remember is to reblog (and optionally tag) things you like, not just tap the heart icon. Tumblr is for curating a blog of things you like, and if you don’t reblog anything, you look like a bot and you will get blocked. Also, likes don’t actually do anything for the algorithm; likes are more like “save for later”.

You decide your own algorithm, to some extent, by hitting Follow on people whose blogs you like. I like that. I think it might resonate with Lemmy users too :)

Sidenote: I hate when people refer to women by their first names and men by their lasts. Would it be so difficult to call it the Harris campaign?

Network Time Protocol? Cool, didn’t know that!

No account needed if you’ve got uBlock Origin. I’ve been using that and the experience is a smooth as pirating.

My only complaint is that the caption setting does not persist between episodes, but honestly, when I was pirating it, the captions weren’t working at all, so this is still an upgrade.

How does it reduce dishes? Water bottles are one of the more annoying things to wash, in my experience, because my hands aren’t small enough to fit anymore.

Edit: Yes, I have a bottle brush. It’s just that it’s a bit of a hassle to soap it from dry and then have to dry it somewhere before storing it again. I wash everything else with a rough sponge normally.

Don’t mess around with partitions on your disk when it’s past midnight, you’re extremely stressed, and you don’t have (easily accessible) backups.

Where do you get an 8-day week? I want one (assuming it’s an extra break day not work day…).

Actually doing something for 40 hours a week is truly remarkable. People waste so much time, me included.
