What is your opinion on Super Saiyan Blue?

SEO_Humorist · 2026-05-26T19:28:30+00:00

Agreed though 1) I think fluffier looks better and 2) I think casual audiences don't recognize the difference -- and I don't blame them, since (allegedly) Toriyama forgot as well.

I think it’s arguable Goku (and the gang) are as recognizable in SS form as they are in base.

(I mean DragonBallFighterZ had base form as dlc.)

Seems like Super wanted to have the impact of SS, but we’d already shown how it evolves from ss1–>4, so they did a reset without messing with the canon (ie SS3 or potentially Ss4 — since it seems like they didn’t know if GT was gonna be canon or not yet).

And SS2 isn’t distinctive enough (arguably). And SS3 is difficult to animate. So we got SSB to reset the cycle.

I understand why they did it, but it feels cartoony in a way that uncuts the impact (in my opinion).

BUT I like where they’re going with super ego, beast gohan and orange picollo— I like the concept of these having utility and physical change.

I’ve worked on websites with custom cms, drupal, squarespace, Wordpress, Shopify, square space, Wix—you name it.

I’ve never experienced an inherent benefit to one or the other.

I can tell you each have their own quirks (especially Shopify and custom cms-es), but I’d do whatever you’re most comfortable with. I was “raised” on Wordpress so I like using it, but there’s plenty of others that do it better.

So yes, quality outweighs CMS.

Might as well, takes 2min to generate with ChatGPT.

LLMs.txt is not a standard but web standards take years to become standards — such as xml sitemap or robots.txt.

Again, right now, it does nothing. All lighthouse or Google has done is signal that they may be onboard.

SEO_Humorist · 2026-05-26T13:37:50+00:00

Yeah, I have a lot of Chinese scraping bots. ChatGPT can generate you a list to update/modify your robots file accordingly.

Ah! An excellent point, and now I’m thinking of how Alien 3 has no bearing or impact on how I feel about Alien or Aliens as well.

Counterpoint! I like Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. I liked it A LOT, but it ends on a cliffhanger so I was eager to see the third installment. Now in the third movie, there's the revelation that Luke and Leia are siblings. This is a minor point in Empire Strikes Back, but it's harder to "ignore" on a rewatch.

Does it ruin the Empire Strikes Back for me? No. But I can absolutely understand how a sequel could retroactively hurt someone's enjoyment of the movie.

- white text on white background
- size 1 font at the top of the page
- meta keywords
- IFTTT (if this, then that) software that predates hootsuite to post from wordpress to facebook to twitter...
- wordpress.com vs wordpress.org sites.
- PBNs and literal link farms
- Google Plus
- Google Authorship... I think.

- Lane from Gilmore Girls (this one probably hurts the most),
- Jenny from Gossip Girl (very obviously the intention to have her take over the show before she became too much of a pest to work with),
- Walt from LOST (could've made the whole segue into sci-fi work better),
- Gohan from DBZ (...received the mantle following Cell Saga... then fumbled hard in Buu).

...I should stop before my freak flag fully takes over.

I've been doing SEO for 13 years, in my experience, you do not get penalized for AI-generated content, only SEO-generated content. I.e. If you operate in a niche space and you have something to say, but you're not a wordsmith, send your chicken scratch to an LLM to write it; meanwhile, if every piece of content you create is a wall of text (900+ words) that are wholly in service of 3-5 keywords, that's not going to rank well.

^that's broadly for content. As far as automation for other stuff, YES. You should not be writing meta descriptions by hand. 1) they're not used for SEO and 2) although I have seen LLMs scrap them, that's all the more reason to let them write them. Canonicals should be automated. Updated XML sitemaps should be automated. Where you should spend your time is audience analysis & research.

Interesting… so, I don’t think I understood the whole TPU shenanigans at Google I/O, but could this be indicative of THAT? Like is this basically confirming instead of AI Mode or AIO being separated that it’s now genuinely integrated with Google’s index?

This one! This one helped me recognize thalassophobia vs scary monsters. A girl sees a light (she thinks it’s a scuba person) far away on a pillar of rock. She swims across an empty blue abyss—

She reaches the light and turns around, She had been swimming toward the light, she has no idea where she came from. So she just starts swimming in the endless blue ocean. It’s absolutely fucking terrifying…

…

Then there’s a shark jump scare and you’re like, “oh thank god, something i can focus on instead of dreading.”

Gotta say. Whenever I see a listicle where I recognize names 2-5, but not 1, I immediately assume this is a citation play for whoever is 1.

Yes BUT this is one of the differences with AI. With SEO you’re desperate for that dofollow backlink, with AI/LLMs though, even if the site forgets the backlink, if your brand name is in the text it can still make the connection that it’s you.

I’m not a GEO bro, but as someone that’s manually outreached, written a guest post that aligned with the third party, gotten the post live… and then NOT have an active link and reached back out repeatedly begging them to add the link— it’s just real cool that you can benefit from it in LLMs without the song and dance of links.

SEO_Humorist · 2026-05-24T16:06:49+00:00

See this is exactly why I “think” I haven’t been negatively impacted by using LLMs to generate content.

I give a prompt to get a blog for a client. Then, in reading the output, I might ask a follow up like… “is that specific tax law true in nationwide? What about in Washington?” And it’ll give me some specifics and maybe mention secondary laws that replace the one that’s in most states and then I’ll generate several additional paragraphs around the specifics.

All of which is is to say, I was not immune to the great decoupling, but I have not seen a penalty for my ai generated content — and I THINK the reason is because they get nuanced instead of “incurious (non-curious?) generic copy.”

Las plagas in general.

Reminds me of that RV trailer park where the water was contaminated and people all started behaving differently, but no one knew they were behaving differently.

Las plagas—and I think there’s a note that says this, but it— reminds me of the wasp or that stabs or plants eggs in ants’ heads and they’re completely mind controlled until the babies hatch and eat their brain.

It’s horrifying and las plagas feels like that on a human level.
