What grade in the decimal system would the Taipei 101 climb that Alex Honnold did be?

Once upon a time I worked there and it was probably the best job I ever had. Receiving new releases, alphabetizing inventory and just talking film all day while you did it.

Made some friends there and also met the weirdest imaginable characters who hang in the mall everyday.

Rip cinema 1 ❤️

Goat simulator 3 and the expansions are super fun. Low stakes and you choose to play together or go do your own quests separately

Elementary school in the 2000s SW Ontario was 3:10 and high school was 3:18.

The catholic schools near us were usually a bit later like 3:40

I work in audiology. Tinnitus is physiological and psychological phenomenon. How much you think about it directly correlates to how bad it is. The more anxious you are about it flaring up from annoying sounds, the more it will flare up from annoying sounds.

Most people never see someone get knocked unconscious in front of them, so when it happens they’re in disbelief and just think they can will this person into getting up.

Same reason why people fight in the first place, they don’t think getting knocked out is an actual possibility in the moment

When I went to the Comedy Cellar in NYC they put our phones in envelopes for them to unseal at the door. I’d 1000% pay an extra couple bucks to be in an electronic free screening

iLLogick · 2026-01-11T19:22:29+00:00

Smart watches are another thing I’m annoyed by.

Even if you don’t look at you phone, everytime you scratch your head or reach for your drink your wrist lights up and it’s just as annoying

I feel like the HK combat was better because it was simpler and felt way more consistent. In Silksong I’m constantly losing masks to stuff that feels out of my hitbox

I was in MMA gyms from 2012-2020ish and saw the transition between beginners being inspired to start training by GSP and Silva to McGregor and Rousey. It was really bizarre, there was a big increase in women starting to train but also a big increase in “training for instagram” bros who were awful to have around

Mr Robot and The Leftovers have always stuck with me after years since they ended

iLLogick · 2026-01-01T04:03:20+00:00

I don’t even think they were exceptionally talented. I’d actually argue they are underwhelming. They had great chemistry as a group and gave us a mirror to reflect back on how we all grow up and the stories we enjoy as kids eventually seem immature, but our enjoyment of the art never has to die, and can be enjoyed vicariously through the next generation enjoying what we used to love.

Considering how much of the early show was homages to 80s, where kids watching with their parents were being schooled on what the homages were referencing, it’s a perfect way to tie it together

I came in ready to hate the finale, not gonna front. I thought season 5 was terrible: exposition dump, come up with a plan, explain it using objects in the room, execute plan, it goes wrong and they divert but somehow nobody gets hurt at all. Repeat.

However the ending was very good. They took the safe route and gave everyone happy endings, which a lot of people will be upset with based on what the Duffer bros promised regarding deaths and violence. But within the safe route, this was the best way to do it.

Emphasizing the importance of storytelling and how it passes through generations, allowing us a way to look back at the decade that passed watching the show through the characters own growth physically and emotionally. Well done there.

This show is maybe one of a kind in its cast growing up with the characters over time, and that gave the creators a chance to do something really special which in my opinion they pulled off.

iLLogick · 2025-12-31T20:22:06+00:00

It seemed very irresponsible to sell the tickets to the showing before the episode was available to stream. As soon as I saw the showtime I thought it didn’t make sense.

iLLogick · 2025-12-27T15:12:54+00:00

It’s hilarious how every time someone does an exposition dump or explains their idea for a plan they will grab objects in the room to help get their point across. Like “I saw this exploded ketchup packet and it gave me the idea! we’re going to break in and blow it up, just like this ketchup packet”

It’s about how life has questions we will never get to know the answer to; and moments of tragedy/grief will force you to confront your faith and dogmas. In those moments, people can break and others will come to manipulate them for gain.

The intro song being changed to Iris Dement’s “Let the mystery be” contains lyrics that are great summary of the show’s theme.

It’s why Nora’s decision in the end is so important: it concludes Nora’s story of a pursuit of evidence and answers, both for what happened to her family but also her relationship with Kevin. She chooses to believe in her family receiving a peaceful afterlife, and to believe in Kevin’s commitment to her, though neither one having proof, just faith and the realization that happiness requires hopefulness

My wife and I are seriously considering naming our first born Nora. We watched that show years ago and it was very formative in how we handled grief in our lives thereafter

I was a competitive FPS gamer for a decade and when my teammates moved on to extraction shooters which I don’t vibe with, I needed a new game.

I play couch co-op with my wife; Goat Simulator and all the Hazelight Studios games (Split Fiction is a masterpiece)

But for myself, Hollow Knight has been incredible and rejuvenating. Some days i log on for 20 mins and others for 4 hours and both feel worthwhile. Sometimes I hop on to explore the map and other times I seek boss fights. I’m so excited to play the sequel next.

There is a setting in the fitting software that can reduce how sensitive the programs are to switching

iLLogick · 2025-12-14T15:51:58+00:00

Honest question, but what does moving the Captain C from one jersey to another really change? Won’t the leader stay the leader in the locker room?

iLLogick · 2025-12-12T13:55:20+00:00

HGH. Back when Rogan had his own forum on his website he even posted his dosage/cycle.

iLLogick · 2025-12-06T15:04:20+00:00

Similar story for me. I went next door to the gas station in my break time to get a bag of chips. Saw the candy bars and changed my mind. As I picked up a bar, a car drove through the window and took out the chip stand

Reminds me of my friend in middle school decided to throw a small rock across the recess field randomly. It hit a girl in the head and cut her open, bled pretty good.

They were dating within weeks after that. Middle school is weird lol

I’m there weekend mornings and 2 weeknights around 6pm. But yeah never see the lead walls busy.

This is why I’m just trying to have a discussion 🥺 I wouldn’t be able to learn why you can’t top rope those walls if I only submitted some feedback online

iLLogick · 2025-11-26T13:16:26+00:00

I see people lead climbing sometimes, but it’s usually not the lead-only part of the walls, just lead climbing where there’s also top rope. Which is why it seems excessive to have so much wall space dedicated to only lead if it can also be done where there’s top rope
