  • I watch an "eco-minimalist" YouTuber and she's complained in the past of people using AdBlock and I'm like ??? Your philosophy is that we shouldn't buy anything new and limit animal products but I gotta watch three ads advertising yogurt and credit cards and then listen to you talk about the sponsor of today's video, square space?

    She's cool in other ways but she so perfectly encapsulates the problem with most green parties, throwing green initiatives against the wall with zero coherent political ideology.








  • l'Académie Française. Sometimes they're a bag of dicks and decide that COVID is feminine and not masculine months after everyone started using le COVID.

    Sometimes they try to be funny and come out with stuff like, you should say that Batman is LA meilleuRE chauve-souris (the best (feminine) bat) because bat is female in French, and NOT because of his relationship with Robin which is kinda homophobic.

    Then you have Quebec micromanaging everyone. Like a Happy Meal is still a Happy Meal in France, but in Canada it's a Joyeux festin.

    Watch the original pilot "The Gathering" and if you're really struggling with season 1, there are some guides that tell you which episodes to watch (a lot are standalone, skippable ones). You may miss Londo at his most likeable.

    Also JMS, the creator of B5, alleges that he took his "show bible" to Paramount, they passed, and then DS9 had a few very similar plot points.

    Also, I just watched The Fugitive for the first time and I was like, that's G'Kar!

    I got into a fight this week with someone who was bitching about the cost of a color printer.

    I'm like, first if all, if ink is so expensive, why don't you see if it's cheaper just to print out the things you need at a print store? Well, she can't just send confidential documents (lol) to the store, and she doesn't have a computer so she can't put it on a USB and USBs are complicated anyway, and what if she needs something printed at the last minute?

    So then I try, well why don't you get a laser printer in b&w? Those are a bit of an investment up front but at least the ink doesn't dry out and you don't need a color printer. Well, then she starts talking about how she needs a color printer because she needs to print photos of herself sometimes and recently she had to take a picture of some wires because there's work being done on her building and it's SO much CLEARER to say, the red wire rather than the top wire.

    So I'm just like ok, keep your color inkjet printer and continue to pay through the nose for your ink, I don't really give a shit but stop complaining about the price of ink. If you're really printing that many copies of differently colored wires at 3am, you clearly have bigger issues.
