Just refilled my aftershave bottle with pure ethanol. It’s cheaper, and my skin, after being frozen all the way through hundreds of times, does not feel the difference.4

Since 2020, according to American NIST, an inch is exactly 25.4 mm. No foot shenanigans anymore. Thus, in the US of A and a lot of other countries, an inch is just a weird metric unit.
Imperial system is a lie.8 -
Ugh. So tired of my “premium” HP Omen’s shortcomings that I want to buy a MacBook again. Probably Air 15, and install Asahi Linux right away.1

Can someone who was physically tortured retain at least a shadow of childish optimism and naivete that all of us are blessed with from birth?3

Watched a documentary on Valerie Solanas the other day — the woman that shot Andy Warhol.
Never have I ever empathized so much with someone I completely disagree with. Rest in peace, queen.

Microsoft just announced that screenshots will become one of "Pro" "AI features" (why does it need ai?) as Windows transitions to a subscription model.16

I believe that god doesn’t exist because a worm in the eyeball of 5 year old Alhaji, a diamond miner from Sierra Leone, says so.27

Today’s kiki dream was so pleasant that it still lingers inside my rib cage and heals my heart with its warmth

Food stamps concept is genius. A centralized feeding point for vulnerable people that, while providing good economy of scale, is literally where a lot of vulnerable people are, waiting to be preyed on. You can't just give them money either, you can't trust them to be responsible with it. Instead, you give them the special kind of money that can only be spent on food and essential items. That's literally crypto smart contracts, but from decades ago. This has two benefits:
1. They can spend it closer to their home, as they can't afford to drive to some kind of a centralized nexus
2. It supports local businesses
Saving a failed state where _everybody_ is vulnerable, as their institutions and infrastructure cease to exist? Build a feeding point/network to leverage the economy of scale to help them all. Put armed guards nearby. Also, build a lot of showers — we don't need a cholera outbreak. Oh, and a lot of tap water pumps.
Saving just few vulnerable people within a functioning country? Food stamps.10 -
Lensflare, look at how those lines in between menu elements don’t protrude all the way to the left edge, instead stopping before icons, so there is no line in between icons. Telegram uses the same UI pattern for “all chats” screen, and it looks good. What about using it in JoyRant in notifications screen?2

Watching a YouTube video where a legit, professional MMA fighter can do nothing to remain alive during the 20 seconds he got to spend in a room with an attacker who has a knife. Every single round, he can knock the attacker out, only to then succumb to 18 stabs he received while grappling.

the scariest part about the worldwide musical degeneracy propaganda campaign is that people are doing it of their own accord. there is no hand pulling the strings behind the scenes.
also, since when exposed labea majora become synonymous to music? this shit is repulsive.12 -
It’s so sad that this “Auth for Google authenticator” app whose logo definitely doesn’t try to impersonate google with a similar color scheme, with in-app purchases, is allowed to exist, while Lensflare’s JoyRant isn’t.14

In the middle of dumbing down my smartphone. This whole ecosystem thing got out of control privacy-wise. Thus, I’m deleting pretty much everything but the browser and the chat app my friends and I use. No photos sync, no cloud, no passwords sync, no sync period. If you seize or otherwise compromise my phone, you ain’t getting very far into my defenses.4
