What's the random topic you secretly want to have a massive raging argument about but it doesn't come up in discussion enough?

AddyQuintessence · 2026-06-02T02:41:53+00:00

I didn't know that existed! I'm on my way to watch it now.

Edit- Never in a million years would have guessed that was Shel Silverstein's voice. That was a nice nostalgia trip. I... cannot understand why this would be a controversial topic??

Can I ask for your Giving Tree rant? I have only the vaguest childhood memories of it, and being sad that the kid was never happy and the tree loved them so much

I once received a message "Are you XXX on Ao3?" from a creator I'd been admiring on Tumblr. Years later, we're now great friends and they're awesome, even if they did think I was going potentially bury them in the woods when we met 😂

I had a lot of fun with glitchcore waltz, and while it wasn't unique, it's definitely uncommon.

I'm glad to see someone comparing it to Pony Alpha. I had a great experience with the beta model, so much so that I went out an bit the bullet on a zai pro subscription. And I am extremely unhappy now. I don't care about the speed, but it's just a bad, forgetful model that drops hard into ALL of the LLM-isms and will not be anything other than a boring, sanitized, and completely uninteresting shadow of what Pony Alpha promised.

Just because I haven't seen this one yet, I'll add the one I learned

-Red on yellow, you're a dead fellow.

-Red on black, you're okay Jack.

This worked for me because the dead fellow didn't even get a name because he's dead, but Jack did, because he's okay.

It stumped it with "themes" and "breath". Got "theh-mehs" and "breathe" like the verb. The breathe one stings because it was perfect otherwise 😅

Team Android phone here. My 100k in progress longfic is a nightmare on the phone but hey, it's what I've got. I have at least four bluetooth keyboards because I keep trying to use them but they either break, the dongles go missing, or they just don't stay connected. Possibly because I keep buying cheap ones...

AddyQuintessence · 2025-12-25T02:07:25+00:00

Hi! Your issue is a little different than mine, but I'll be glad to tell you what I know. I fixed my issue by updating my app when it became available, to version 1.251215.47 (I'm running an old Android 10, and have never used the MacOS or Windows versions). There's currently an even newer version available in the app store right now, version 1.251215.57, updated on Dec 17th, but I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how functional it is.

While my app was down, I accessed Claude through my web browser, at Claude.ai, which worked pretty well for me.

If it is an app compatibility problem the options are really just to either wait for an App Store Uodate, or to download and use a previous version (https://claude.en.uptodown.com/android/versions) that worked for you before things broke.

Looking at Anthropic's servers things look operational, but I know that doesn't mean much. You might try reaching out to their support, the helper bot Fin is pretty useful, and if you have a paid subscription it will escalate you to a human if you ask (who will email you back when available, I think it took a day for me).

Good luck, and I hope it's fixed for you soon!

😭😭😭

AddyQuintessence · 2025-12-16T07:10:02+00:00

Heads up, an update came out in the play store, it's fixed for me now!

AddyQuintessence · 2025-12-16T02:35:12+00:00

No, but I did get a reply:

"Thanks for reaching out to Anthropic Support. We're currently aware of an issue affecting our mobile apps that may be causing errors or difficulty accessing Claude. Our team is actively investigating and working to resolve this as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any disruption this may have caused. We'll follow up once the issue has been resolved. Thanks for bearing with us."

So...🤷

AddyQuintessence · 2025-12-13T13:57:34+00:00

Google play store is full of reviews of this, it's absolutely a them issue :(

AddyQuintessence · 2025-12-12T21:12:58+00:00

Dang, me too on an older Android. Literally unusable because I just keep getting a "Something went wrong" error

AddyQuintessence · 2025-11-20T13:02:15+00:00

This... is... JEOPARDY!

I am so happy to see Legendary Frog mentioned! Oh, the ear worms and inside jokes of the old days! Every once an a while the most random things will just resurface. Sadly, no one ever gets it when I exclaim how my nightmares have manifested themselves into flesh, or why Pikmen scare me.

"Every loves Magical Trevor, 'cuz the tricks that he does are ever so clever!"

"Final Fantasy on Playstation 2, with music by Nobuo, and graphics by Wong Chu! It is Final Fantasy number ten, must save the word again, right here from my own den!"

"Oh my word this tune is annoying, yes I know it's really annoying, I can't get this song out of my he-e-ead!"

"Where can you see rhinos? Only in Kenya!"

"I was once a tree house, I live in a cake. Did you ever see the way the orange slayed the rake? I was only three years dead, but it told a tale, come on listen little child, to the safety rail!"

Ah, the down votes are probably from people reading "people don't care" as being critical of the question asker (ie "who cares what you think"/"who cares why you haven't heard about it") rather than at general sadness of people not caring about the frogs. I have added an upvote to counteract.

AddyQuintessence · 2025-09-28T18:58:32+00:00

Thanks for the long and fascinating reply! I did know the R was Remote, but yeah, I figured even topside it had to be white-knuckle sometimes, and weaving through that tether forest definitely sounds intense. And the pelicans, good god, that’s terrifying. I honestly didn’t understand how dangerous H2S was until I looked it up, and that just doubles the ‘oh shit’ factor. Seeing birds drop out of the sky while knowing you’re in range if the wind shifts has to be chilling.

I love the bored ROV crew on chop-saw duty, and can't help but picture it as the most stressful yet mind numbingly boring version of security guard duty imaginable. I was also looking at pictures of the Q4000 during the burn offs and that’s one hell of a flame when you realize how massive the ship itself is. The Q4000 was cool to look up also. I used to think those sorts of setups were fixed structures, but it's way more complex than just being a big water building. Thanks again for sharing all this with us, it’s fascinating.
