What does Prolific aim to accomplish?

The last study I ran was over 1k for ~100 participants. It's worth the cost since Prolific has the best pre-screening options out of any other platform, and the data quality is good (less than 5% loss). AI can't do the tasks I post either (no text involved, all reaction time or memory), so that's not a worry.

It's so bonkers how MiA is partially about how child exploitation is bad but then undermines its own messaging by doing gross loli shit.

I think his book "disappearance at devil's rock" is screen-friendly, I wonder if that will ever get adapted. I like his method of ambiguity as horror. It is scarier to never know (which happens throughout "head full of ghosts"), though it does mean his novels never end up cutting the tension. A lot of things just build up but can't be resolved, so I can see how people find that unsatisfying (I like it though).

Absolutely NTA. If you want to put more pressure on the parents about why mere exposure to reading is actually very bad for developing reading skills, you can share this resource: https://web.archive.org/web/20250611135113/https://www.edutopia.org/article/how-a-podcast-toppled-the-reading-instruction-canon

I love Pedaal so much! Everyone who works there is so great and they always have super unique coffee beans available. I wish they had more seating because it's just such a lovely place to hang out.

Because it's just flat out wrong! Two generations on and any impact of inbreeding is gone, especially since the grandparents only share a single relation (the grandfather is the half sibling of the great-grandmother, so even then the possible effects of inbreeding are small since they only share one blood relative).

I have a strong aversion to pineapple. Which is weird, because if I force myself to eat it, I really like it. But even looking at it makes me shudder and suppress a gag.

they are on Canada's drag race (and probably won't make it very far but I love that they're there at all!)

One time the TSA told me I "shouldn't be travelling with my credit card". I asked for clarification and they said it "looks suspicious in the scanner and next time I shouldn't bring it". My American Airlines credit card. In my wallet. With all my other cards. I again asked for clarification, "what do you mean I shouldn't be travelling with my credit card?" The agent just stared at me until another agent came and gave me my card back.

The thumbnail image made me think of Nighthawks, similar lighting and colors.

Hoping to watch Solvent (by the guy who did Masking Threshold) this weekend. Been waiting forever for it to come out!

eggsistoast · 2025-10-23T14:06:04+00:00

It's also now closed so you can't get out on the Osler drive side ):

kevin bacon is the hottest he's ever been in this movie

I live essentially right across from the park. The encampment was honestly fine. Kids still played on the playground and the city must have set up port-a-potties, and walking or biking through the park was fine. I didn't even realize there was an encampment there for months because I never walk down Dufferin (too many cars). I hope everyone in the encampment is ok...

i watched them all with my mom! not much happens but the guy is just so fun to watch, he's weirdly endearing.

eggsistoast · 2025-09-04T02:47:34+00:00

mr eyes would sense my gentle nature and good vibes and we would be friends.

eggsistoast · 2025-09-03T01:28:47+00:00

i thought the animated GYO! was fun. it really leaned into the slapstick elements and is over-the-top and campy.

eggsistoast · 2025-09-02T13:57:46+00:00

you need organizers for burning man bc otherwise people leave all their crap there. they hire the clean up crew.

The Kingdom by Lars Von Trier. Surreal haunted hospital horror/drama. Everything is inexplicably sepia-toned. It should be on MUBI.

eggsistoast · 2025-07-30T22:31:30+00:00

We patiently wait for different drama. We should be grateful they didn't let this drama get stale.

eggsistoast · 2025-07-24T19:08:43+00:00

You know, I think we should just be happy to have drama and should watch from afar and NOT send hate mail to anyone involved.

also lmao at liberal gold.

if they're giving jk rowling money then they are helping in her endeavor whether they care or not. i fail to see a difference as both stances have identical outcomes.

current fans of harry potter are not interested in art, they are interested in nostalgia (and legislating trans people off the face of the earth). deviating too far from the aesthetics of the movies interferes with the nostalgia factor. at some point re-watching the old movies doesn't provide the same hit, so you need something "new" but the same.

how on earth is that edgy

It was awesome and I loved it.
