TIL that Soulseek exists. Wholesome music sharing from now on.

Buffet atmosphere is dystopian. I feel out of place here.

Really wish @obsdmd was FOSS. It's already free and local. Their revenue plan is already based primarily on network-based features, as are other FOSS projects. Just pick the right license, and nobody can mess with Obsidian. It's already the best on the market anyway.
The North American right wing politigram is still confused which side to take in this war. The “Jewish Bolshevik Kremlin” side, or the “Jewish Western Democracy” side.

Man if you have time on your computer, learn Colemak DH. Just trust me.
It's only now that people realized that literally anything can be an album art. Just take a 1:1 picture of literally anything. How is this a thing only now
Just sad that I can't share my fascination of one song or another with someone else to the extent that I wish to. Like, nobody can feel what I am feeling right now and it's kind of... lonely.

No realistic open-world medieval RPG exists. It's either sword-slash/warfare or Magic and Dragons. Imagine Skyrim without dragons/magic. No such thing.

I open the jar of peanut butter. Smell it. My sanity comes back to me.

I don't want to learn Japanese, because I will end up disappointed when I find out that J-rock and city-pop lyrics are just as cringe as any western music lyrics.
I had was quite confused for a second, that I saw a video about food, but the background voice was not Binging with Babish
I wonder who taught people that if one extremely broad and vague verse in Bible lines up with their worldview, they can safely disregard the whole book of the Bible, and just stick exclusively to that one verse. Any Biblical argument against their worldview is forever irrelevant.

Medium is a hot mess at this point. Imagine not having a code-highlighting of your own in 2020. It's not even the cost of the processing at this point. Isn't code-highlighting a client-side JavaScript process, that shouldn't have any monetary impact on the platform? Pathetic.
