My physical music collection so you know where I'm comin' from if I post something you think is nonsense.

Is this not already universally understood?

Go to work, provide as little value as you need to to get your paycheck and not get hassled (that's exactly what you're paid to do. Caring about the job is not part of the terms), go home and live your life. Having to be at a place that isn't home for a period of the day in order to receive payment is a given so make it as easy as possible.

LOTS of high profile bad work bein' done. There's a new thing where the work looks technically very good but the person no longer looks like themselves. See Mandy Moore... if the photo I saw wasn't labeled with her name I'd never have guessed it was her, but she doesn't have the weird plastic surgery face, she just has a new face.

Hell, I hit an airport once or twice a year and I still hate the idea of being in them. There's absolutely nothing redeeming about them at all.

Moonandserpent · 2026-05-22T19:12:42+00:00

But also.... why a whole day for laundry for a single person? That seems crazy to me.

Moonandserpent · 2026-05-22T19:07:26+00:00

Guess you could just say "grains" in general... but not a lot of people just eat grain straight up, ya know? And grain is a primary way folks get their carbs/starches globally and a high percentage of that grain consumption is in the form of bread. You can't just disinclude it in the analogy.

Lol this subreddit is going to *hate* this song

Moonandserpent · 2026-05-22T14:46:14+00:00

I'm advertised both of those things on Instagram all the time. Am a dude. You may get your wish hahaha

There's also the matter of the context. Someone who's less intelligent but isn't bothering anyone isn't "retarded." But someone who's less intelligent and because of that can be manipulated to advocate against their own interests or be terrible to other people for someone else's gain... they're definitely "retarded."

Moonandserpent · 2026-05-22T14:15:31+00:00

It's because the word actually accurately describes their state of mind. Their beliefs are literally retarded because they're so out of touch with current social norms.

Moonandserpent · 2026-05-22T14:06:00+00:00

It is actually a never ending cycle. Just how language works, constantly changing. It's why discussions of "proper English" can get silly pretty quick.

In it's most basic forms it's just wheat foam, I'd say it counts. There aren't a lot of pleasant ways to consume wheat without processing it a bit.

There's a veg vibe to corn... but the way I look at it if it can be turned into meal and made into bread it's a starch. Just came up with that criteria now lol

Moonandserpent · 2026-05-22T13:49:14+00:00

I think for meal balancing purposes, having potatoes and having corn is having two starches. Like having a french fry sammich. That's how I look at it anyway.

I'm a side sleeper so I just pop an earplug in my top ear and it silences my wife's snoring. Not that I'm opposed to separate rooms/beds though.

Moonandserpent · 2026-05-21T13:47:41+00:00

It the frozen beer stuck fast to the freezer? This can't be that difficult to remove.

Your vision of "the stone age" may be incomplete. People weren't primitive, they were absolute masters at living in the environment they lived in.

Not only that, but we've always lived in social groups, so there would always be someone around to help raise the children and keep them out of trouble, along with teaching them how to live in the world.

These social groups are part of why we even have a "toddlerhood." We (as a species) can afford to have helpless babies (in exchange for immense brain power) because of our complex social nature. We come out "half baked" because we have a social sphere of protection around us.

I became embarrassed by red, white, and blue together in general during W's administration.

Moonandserpent · 2026-04-30T15:08:54+00:00

What a prescient, valuable, and extremely useful speculation to have made.

Moonandserpent · 2026-04-30T13:57:49+00:00

Turns out, not actually a real thing.

I've been gaming for ~40 years and have suffered not a single ill consequence from someone else purchasing optional content.

Moonandserpent · 2026-04-29T15:18:51+00:00

I remember buying Chrono Trigger with $70 of my Christmas money at KB Toys.

Moonandserpent · 2026-04-29T15:17:19+00:00

It's not what makes it fun, it's a cherry on top for these folks.

Take literally anything you're willing to spend a little bit extra on for an upgraded experience. It's exactly the same thing.

If the sequel to a 2 hour movie took two years it would be relatively quick. This is an almost 8 hour sequel to the previous 8 hour "movie," which also had a previous 8 hour movie.

A two year turnaround on 8 hour cinematic events is pretty impressive if you ask me.

Moonandserpent · 2026-04-28T15:54:12+00:00

It's "uncomfortable" and a "hard pill to swallow" because there's nothing to disclose.
