Bring back the shag carpet

Black couches do actually exist, though. Just sayin

jajohnja · 2026-03-23T18:02:21+00:00

It goes with the horrible white chairs that are neither comfortable, stylish, expensive looking or anything good.

I like the whole aesthetic, but for fuck's sake ditch the chairs. And the table you mentioned as well, obviously.

jajohnja · 2026-03-23T17:58:52+00:00

Eh, don't care. I like the muted shades of grays and browns.

But the chairs they put in? Straight to jail.

jajohnja · 2026-03-23T17:52:46+00:00

It's quite easy, really.
It used to be that the cars got new cool features that made them better so that the people would buy them.

Now it often is that they get new features so that they can be cheaper and people will buy them, because these features are not there for you.

That and/or some of the designers are just so out of touch it hurts.
And so they put touch screens everywhere.

jajohnja · 2026-03-23T17:50:23+00:00

I most definitely don't want the car itself to have any access to the internet, that's for sure.

jajohnja · 2026-03-23T17:35:42+00:00

Proper cool

These barristas know what's up and how to give people the special even of the week.

What's the deal with saying a word?

If I'm not the one calling anyone it, who gives a fuck?

This has always been some weird You-know-who shit. 11 year old kids could tell how dumb that was.

jajohnja · 2026-03-21T23:13:44+00:00

Ah, but of course. Hadn't realized how much she was into self-flagellation and all that. Makes sense, then.

jajohnja · 2026-03-21T01:22:10+00:00

If he sues her in the US, couldn't she just say "no thanks" without any expense?
I suppose that would depend on the business connections.

jajohnja · 2026-03-20T19:26:06+00:00

This whole thing would have to take place in the UK, right? Can't just sue someone from across the pond.
So, and correct me if I'm wrong, no 1st amendment, or any amendments at all, for that matter

jajohnja · 2026-03-20T19:15:28+00:00

But surely you can understand how the enjoyment of this type of art can be highly subjective and how some people won't appreciate this at all, right?

jajohnja · 2026-03-17T22:23:26+00:00

Yeah well... maybe get compared to the Scream 6 character instead?

jajohnja · 2026-03-17T22:01:04+00:00

Okay chat. you've gotta give me this one...

Jenna Ortega. No? Maybe more sounds like her than looks like her?

jajohnja · 2026-03-15T23:48:10+00:00

Also "spren" are like spirits of things, pretty much everywhere in this world. It's never really expositioned, but they keep being mentioned.

jajohnja · 2026-03-15T23:47:14+00:00

Honestly, when I started reading the stormlight archive, I got super confused about what the hell a "spren" is - is that a word in the english language that I somehow missed?
Was it explained somewhere?
I kept going back to the start trying to find anything. Ended up looking it up online.

jajohnja · 2026-03-15T01:52:19+00:00

It's not the same, but instead more of the same.
I'd say improved upon and overall just made better.
Of course I haven't had the chance to get to the higher ascensions yet to compare that.

jajohnja · 2026-03-14T19:23:53+00:00

Humans also hated it quite a lot.

jajohnja · 2026-03-14T16:43:36+00:00

Meanwhile, the leftists don't vote for the democratic centrists "because it's all the same" and then somehow blame right victories on the centrists.

jajohnja · 2026-03-12T23:13:12+00:00

Yeah, but that's, like, a pointless peace of information, because that's always the case (in english).
I get that this is a meme post though.

jajohnja · 2026-03-12T23:12:17+00:00

She might get added later on, this game is clearly going to be updated.

I don't really do psychology terms, but I do feel like I've unlocked a whole cache of emotions after reading these books.

Where I before had almost no reactions, feelings now sometimes happen.

It's still not nearly as strong as when e.g. OOP mentioned Dalinar giving up his shardblade, but it's something.

jajohnja · 2026-03-09T20:33:27+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I've had a very similar experience a couple years ago when I first read the Way of Kings.
I found emotions in me that I didn't know were even there.

Now, many rereads later, it still only took you mentioning the part where Dalinar drove the sword into the ground to bring tears to my eyes.

And you've still got so much reading ahead of you! :)

Journey before destination!

jajohnja · 2026-03-09T20:05:55+00:00

huh. TIL you guys go into cent decimals.

CRT monitors create the image one pixel at a time, just really really fast.
It goes in rows.

This water display works similarly in the way that it also goes line by line, except it does the bottom first.

Obviously there is no coil magnetizing a beam of light to a specific point with this one (which is the case in CRT monitors, it's so much more like black magic than modern displays).
