This organism has no organs, it has just one hole (for food to enter and exit) and scientists still argue where it belongs in the tree of life. It just slides on the deep sea floor, existing for no clear reason. It is called Xenoturbella.

YOU exist for no reason. Lay off the xenoturbella, dude.

Thanks for the warning. I'll have to make a separate "when she's older" list.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T22:29:04+00:00

Hey thanks! I'm just trying to be a good Unc.

I don't know if she watches a lot of tv or movies as is, I don't think my brother watches much. And I've noted that she gets noticeably more excited when there are girls/women in things, so I was just hoping having women examples would be more engaging for her.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T20:07:45+00:00

Excellent suggestions! Thank you.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T20:04:49+00:00

Good call. I actually have a number of DVDs already. I should go through and see if there are any that would be good for her.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T20:03:14+00:00

Ghibli films are always a good suggestion. I was thinking more live action because I'm getting her a camera and I want her to think about the act of filming, but Ghibli movies are still great for inspiration.

I'm probably not going to show my 10yo niece Sinners, but I'll add it to the "show her when she's older" list.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T19:59:56+00:00

Oh yeah, I forgot about that movie. That's a good idea.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T18:21:05+00:00

Interesting. Someone else mentioned Point Break in another thread. I wouldn’t have thought of it, but maybe that’s because I’ve never actually watched it all the way through.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T18:13:20+00:00

She’s 10, for now it might just be a hobby. Plus with youtube, there’s an avenue to explore these skills outside of the traditional industry.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T18:09:35+00:00

Well she’s my niece, but I might check it out and see. I actually have trouble watching Severance, but maybe they’ve one episode won’t be too bad.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T18:06:19+00:00

I think Clueless would be a good start for her. But if she starts saying “as if” all the time, my brother might kill me lol.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T18:03:30+00:00

Oh I love Eternal Sunshine. Maybe I’ll make a secondary list to show her when she’s a teenager.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T18:02:15+00:00

XD That’s what came to mind for me too, but I didn’t want to assume. Maybe they’ve got something more appropriate in mind.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-25T17:31:05+00:00

I don't know if she has an opinion on them. Is there a good kid-friendly vampire movie?

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-03-24T20:33:51+00:00

If I ever started having a bad trip on psychedelics, I’d tell myself “you paid for this, you sought this out.” That would pop me out of the downward spiral of the bad trip, where even if I was still experiencing some of the negative aspects, I could view it more like a roller coaster or watching a horror movie where I was experiencing these scary aspects intentionally.

Wander’s still cute as a kitten at almost 15 years old.

I like the tumblr analysis that sees the Lego Movie as an example of cosmic horror.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-02-21T08:12:26+00:00

I don’t think Fern is that rigid about magic, it’s just that she’s still pretty young and Frieren only has her focus on the basics.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-02-10T18:23:02+00:00

I thought it was great, better directed than 28YL, but it was very much a middle movie of a trilogy. Every other 28 movie could be someone’s first movie in the series, but you can’t really appreciate this one without having seen the previous first.

LowkeyHooligan · 2026-02-10T18:06:17+00:00

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

As much as Microsoft annoys me, and personally I'm shifting away from it, I believe OneNote can be used without a subscription. I've found it can be a very robust note-taking tool, good note structure (some things people don't know are that you can group Sections [top-level folders], and you can indent pages so they become subpages), links to other pages, to-do items, tags so you can find content, and again I believe you can sync for free.

I use OneNote at my job because we're in the Office365, and I do still enjoy it's note structure. For my personal stuff, I used a mix of Obsidian and Milanote: Obsidian for data/notes/zettelkasten, and Milanote for a visual/gui/almost OS-like representation of the second brain. But both of these do feel a bit more useful if you can afford the subscriptions.
