The beeping! My damn air fryer has to let everyone in the neighborhood know that I’m making food at 3:00 am, I hate it so much

Gonna ignore the fire alarm someday because I’ll just assume someone is air frying something

This is fair. I have had to put tape over a red alarm clock because it was too bright before. Those manufacturers also get the oubliette

Anyone who puts always-on blue LEDs in electronics deserve the oubliette. People who put such LEDs in electronics meant for the bedroom deserve an oubliette that’a slowly filling with water.

Must disagree. If today ended at midnight, then my streak of watching at least one episode of a TV show every single day would have been broken years ago. No, today ends when I go to sleep, even if it’s at noon on what is your tomorrow

All of them, I never skip the opening. But my top 5 favorites are

Land of the Lustrous (my most listened to song on YT Music for 3 years running)

Read Or Die

Noir

Akudama Drive

Orb: On The Movements Of The Earth

And for something that isn’t weeb shit, Psych

I file them the moment I get my W-2. Why wait? You aren’t paying less if you owe, and you won’t be refunded more

“There’s no point living, so you may as well die” is so last decade. “There’s no point dying, so you may as well live” is where it’s at

Sharing users’ mental health information with advertisers and connecting LGBT users with Christian faith-based therapists are the two big issues I’m aware of

Pit bulls aren’t genetically predisposed to attacking things, but when they do attack things, they’re genetically predisposed to doing a lot more damage than most other breeds. Gameness is a thing.

The thing is, it’s moving that fast because of the expansion of space. ≈30 billion light-years over ≈14 billion years equates to over twice the speed of light. Does that mean there’s no crazy relativistic time dilation, and time is moving normally for them in our frame of reference, since they aren’t physically moving, it’s space that’s expanding? That’s just as wild to my brain

Here’s something I just ran into looking stuff up for my comment: GN-z11 is one of the farthest galaxies we’ve ever seen. Thanks to the expansion of the universe, at a distance of over 30 billion light-years, it has to be moving away from us at over twice the speed of light.

What the fuck does that mean, temporally? Like, forget the speed of light, time dilation has to do with space and relative speeds. If I’m moving at near the speed of light relative to you, then my clock will physically tick more slowly. What happens if I’m moving over twice the speed of light? Is the real life GN-z11 in our reference frame moving backwards in time at over twice the rate we’re moving forward?

Planets and stars and galaxies are there. You can see them because they’re right over there. Like, the moon is a big fucking rock flying around the earth. Jupiter is even bigger. I see it through a telescope and think “wow that’s pretty,” but every once in a while I let it hit me that I’m looking at an unimaginably large ball of gas, and it’s, like, over there. Same as the building across the street, just a bit farther.

The stars, too. Bit farther than Jupiter, even, but they’re right there. I can point at one and say “look at that pretty star” and right now, a long distance away, it’s just a giant ball of plasma and our sun is just another point of light in its sky. And then I think about if there’s life around those stars, and if our star captivates Albireoans the same way their star captivates me.

And then I think about those distant galaxies, the ones we send multi-billion dollar telescopes up to space to take pictures of. It’s over there too, just a bit farther than any of the balls of plasma visible to our eyes. Do the people living in those galaxies point their telescopes at us and marvel at how distant we are? Do they point their telescopes in the opposite direction and see galaxies another universe away from us? Are there infinite distant galaxies?

Anyway I should get back to work so I can make rent this month

If I point my finger at one of those galaxies, there’s more gas and shit between us within a hundred miles of me than there is in the rest of the space between us combined

I still instinctively press the non-clutch when I have to slam on the brakes

If I had a girlfriend, then several gigabytes of my files would be largely useless

Fastest barn in the west

Driving safely, saving gas, and pissing off drivers

Win/win/win

Do it anyway. If a driver crashes into you because you’re obeying traffic laws, they’re at fault, and their life gets ruined because they’re an awful person. If someone blows through a red light, same deal. If traffic gets backed up for several miles because nobody wants to travel at the speed limit, fuck 'em, they should have left earlier. I enjoy the impotent fury that other drivers feel towards me when I’m going 35 in a 35.

It might be “immoral” and “sociopathic” for me to think this, but if someone is gonna get themself killed because they can’t stand to come to a complete stop at the stop sign, GOOD, I hope they die. The world is better off without them in it. Of course, never block someone from passing you even if they have to break the law to do it. You never know when someone is bleeding out from a chainsaw wound.

Probably dead, be a much easier fight that way
