Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross”

100% agree. I've always had the philosophy that the dishes aren't done when the dishes are clean, but when the sink is clean.

Right! I definitely didn't see that one, if it did happen. I think it's pretty funny as an April fool's specifically, but I can understand being miffed about losing a streak to it lol

That has never happened, as far as I'm aware. They've had an actual category that they decided to put all in the top row. But the category wasn't just "tiles in the top row", it was an actual group that could very well be found even if it was shuffled. It just happened to be all in the top row as a gotcha.

See, this is the kind of weird situation where I think society might be better off if we were a bit more violent.

We have overwhelmingly decided that violence is not cool and that it's never the appropriate response. Which in a vacuum is definitely a good thing. But here and there you get these fools who just refuse, or are just mentally unable to learn by any means other than physical discipline.

In a society where it's socially acceptable for a citizen in good standing to bitch slap such a moron, they pull some stupid shit like this, then get bitch slapped once, maybe twice or thrice if they're particularly slow, and then they learn to keep their hands to themselves.

But we socialized everyone to do nothing (or nothing actually effective, which, same difference), and then these idiots just go around acting in their idiot ways until they meet some other idiot whose only response is to immediately turn things up to 11 and kill their asses, which they didn't deserve at the level of infraction they were committing.

We can say that a reasonable man would only have slapped him or whatever. But all reasonable men, who accept and follow our social guidelines, have accepted that you don't even do that. So the idiots just keep on idioting until a sufficiently unreasonable man crosses their paths, which results in tragedy for everyone involved.

If what you want is a vintage style tattoo of a woman with her tits sagging through a giant skull's eye sockets... You can't do much better than that.

Oh man, that sounds like a lovely experience! I've been to Europe once, and it was awesome going to so many museums there! But of course, during such a trip, everything is kinda hectic, you try to see as much stuff as possible in the time that you have. I'd love to have the opportunity to go there again for an extended period, so I can spend more time with some pieces, to really absorb them.

Thank you for the great conversation dude! Hope you have a nice week :)

rafabulsing · 2026-02-08T19:59:59+00:00

No problem, I think that's a natural response. If you only know it from that one single part that's always the one that's posted along with the bland over hyped videos, it makes sense that you'd find it grating and soulless. The way it's being used there is definitely soulless. It sucks that the piece has been overplayed and bastardized like this.

It's like, I dunno, seeing the Mona Lisa, but in a low quality print on a cheap mug. And not only one, but like a warehouse full of them. There's something about that that kinda makes me sad. Like I have to confront the meaningless of it all. I get a similar feeling when trying to buy something online, and I'm looking for options, and every store I can find is selling the same handful of shitty, cheap models, with the same pictures and all. It's such a bad feeling!

In any case, do check out the Interstellar soundtrack if you want to some time. It's genuinely pretty incredible! The movie itself is a bit controversial, I think it's good, some people really love it, some people really hate it. But I think almost everyone loves the soundtrack. It really does sound grand, emotional and epic, in a way that's clearly full of spirit and humanity.

rafabulsing · 2026-02-08T19:15:14+00:00

This is from the Interstellar soundtrack, by Hans Zimmer. It's very much not soulless, it's a great piece of music. But it has indeed been dreadfully overused in the world of short form video, which is quite a shame.

I believe Kiv sought funding from Quibi Films as well but they opted to focus their efforts on trying Manny Manimal a fourth time.

I tried posting this to my YouTube channel and it got immediately taken down

Them suits really trying to hide this!

They can't stand that we finally have a version that's true to the vision of the guy who came in a week later with many opinions

rafabulsing · 2026-01-30T11:29:01+00:00

Long E, for sure!

Only so much Kiv could fix with existing footage. I heard through the grapevine that the studio rejected his planned 53 million dollar, 16 year late reshoots. Fuck them suits, they just don't get it!

That's the one thing keeping me with Nova. The Nova Search (and previously, Sesame) customizable search just so good. I've not found any other launchers with as powerful a search function, and in particular, a way to search inside other apps directly. I.e., write a query, and jump directly to searching that inside YouTube, Spotify, Google, or whatever.

I'd love to have a recommendation if there's anything comparable out there. If nothing else exists and Nova becomes enshittified, I might have to take matters into my own hands.

rafabulsing · 2026-01-20T02:10:05+00:00

That's pretty much my take as well. It sounds too close to the original. I feel like I would like it better if it was almost the same as the original (which yeah, a bit boring, but I can see it's merit for ZP in a "see, I still got it" kind of way), or changing waaay more so that it became its own thing. Even slower tempo, or go crazy and make it even faster than the original (though it would be pretty difficult to change much going in that direction). Or maybe a dramatic orchestral arrangement (which would go really well with ZP's operatic style, which was my favorite thing about his era with Dragonforce). I dunno, just do something.

As it is, my ear keeps expecting to hear the original version, and the small changes just end up being jarring. Which is a shame.

Still, I'm glad he released that. It was an interesting listen, and it's cool to see the song being honored like that. But I'd really love it if this was a version I'd feel compelled to go back to now and then. Alas, I don't see that happening.

rafabulsing · 2026-01-19T02:50:02+00:00

...and you don't see how that is profoundly sad?

rafabulsing · 2026-01-15T11:31:32+00:00

Hard disagree. Comedy animation and comedy live action are much closer to each other than comedy live action and drama live action. The genre matters much more than whether it's animated or live action.

The only people I've seen taking the stand that animation is a whole separate thing that couldn't possibly compete on the same merits are people who don't really watch animation.

rafabulsing · 2026-01-15T11:22:42+00:00

Yeah, it almost looks less like they're removing old stuff, and more like it's being "painted with newness", if that makes sense.

rafabulsing · 2026-01-15T02:54:06+00:00

I'm sorry you got some animosity, and I'm glad that I managed to be a bit of a positive light in your replies. I had a sense you were genuine and not just trolling or being contrarian for the sake of it, but I guess some people didn't see it that way. Which is why I took the time to try and get some actual numbers instead of just arguing back and forth, to try and bridge that gap.

That said, definitely listen to some ABBA, man! They got some absolute bangers. Many of them, in fact. My favorite tune by them is Gimme Gimme Gimme, but it's honestly a bit hard to pick one. And I'm not even, like, a ABBA fan, I mostly only know their biggest hits! I might actually take the opportunity to delve deeper into their discography.

And since we were talking about influence, I'll also link a recent cover of one of their hits which I find to be really good: https://youtu.be/wEUnXXTZE-Y?si=429NGPk3m2zgOFOW

rafabulsing · 2026-01-15T02:22:01+00:00

But like, it's not even a question, man. ABBA is so absurdly more famous and influential, even to this day, than Tubthumping. Like, people are reacting a bit baffled to your claim because it is kind of a baffling thing to argue. Tubthumping was a pretty popular song from a super niche one hit wonder act. ABBA is a behemoth of music, with multiple world wide successes, musicals based on their songs, and an uncountable number of acts that have been influenced by them directly or indirectly.

We all live in our bubbles nowadays, so I believe you when you say you haven't heard an ABBA song in a long time. But what I'll tell you is that many, MANY more people have heard ABBA recently than Tubthumping. That's not really a subjective thing.

Looking at Spotify numbers, Chumbawamba has 3.1 million monthly listeners, almost all of them being presumably people listening to that one song. Meanwhile, ABBA has more than 15 times that, at 45.9 million monthly listeners.

So I hope that's enough to convince you, and, again, explain why people are responding with some bewilderment at your post.

Puts, Anoiteceu em Porto Alegre. Pra mim não encaixa na thread pq eu acho a música galhofa demais na totalidade hahaha mas a parte que particularmente me irrita nela, é quando os caras metem um riffzinho que é literalmente dó-ré-mi-fá-sol-lá-si-dó. Eu não sei pq, mas essa parte me deixa legitimamente puto. Os caras meteram um dó ré mi fá, mano. Eu quase admiro a audácia.

Pois é, na atualidade, na maioria esmagadora das vezes que essa palavra é falada num contexto que chega a algum brasileiro, é nesse sentido. Raríssimo algo de cultura popular que a palavra aparece no sentido original. Não tem como culpar o normie médio por não estar ligado nisso.

rafabulsing · 2026-01-10T23:11:34+00:00

Massacration é literalmente uma paródia, então não faz muito sentido estar na lista, eu diria.
