30s. I like claiming that I'm going to make a website. Current interests: F1, Honkai (3rd/Star Rail), roses, learning languages (🇫🇷🇮🇪🇬🇷), using technology for good. Always reading.

Monarchies are so funny. I should dig up my pics from the Oceanarium in Monaco: every so often, they were required to tell you how great the (current or former)prince was

The calls for October 18 all over the world are requiring some tweaks, given the local circumstances. Spain:

I had WIPED this claim from my memory, oh god

F1 Insider is the outlet that wrote that U2 wrote a song about the Horner scandal called “Don’t Be Horny, Be Christian” so yeah they not to be considered a valid source for anything.

Maybe I’m being harsh. They’ve had great special liveries so far, perhaps it’ll work in sunlight and in motion. Or maybe this was the deal with the devil they did to get the other liveries.

I’ve sworn off being a hater but that Vcarb livery looks like the designer pasted in a default fire texture and quit.

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip

“She would show up looking like a forever 21 employee and then murder 15 people.”

This is hysterically funny.

The heat alarm here went from nothing to beeping a low battery warning every 40 seconds. We replaced it as close to immediately as possible.

Has anyone ever met someone who’s a regular commenter on The Journal? I’d love if they did an in-depth investigation into one of those little weirdos

Also I'd never in my life heard "keepie-uppies" till this week. I think it's called soloing down the west

skybrina @skybrina.org · 3d

The current @thejournal.ie poll was... not tested

Poll "how many keepie-uppies can you do?" includes the options "0", "up to 10", "more than 20" and "20 or more", "so many that I lose count" and an empty option

like some of my lack of body awareness is from not doing sport as a child, and some of it is from forgetting the world exists outside of the screen and my own mind

This is a completely correctable lack, but how I have not bought a full-length mirror despite at least 10 years of dabbling in dance? I've repeatedly had the thought "this feels right but I don't know if it looks right" when practicing a move but forgot the very simple fix of buying stuff

Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

I'm not great at spotting genAI art but there's a fuzzy-smooth grainy texture to a lot of it (including this) that's distinctly different to "normal" texture effects

Also wanted to add that the gifts included a hairtie and a light sleep robe that we all wore at the night before the wedding staying over with the bride, felt nice to have those little matching accessories to feel like a crew. :)

Actually I might delete this comment ^ once you've seen it, my account's pretty anonymous but I feel like I'm putting someone else's business out there!

Sure, they’re not wrong that a lot of people will believe their friends/relatives are innocent when they’re not… but that’s still shit and worth being mad about! especially in blatant cases like with Allen

Because boy, howdy, nobody knows ritual and symbolism like the Catholic Church, and having it turned squarely back on the Very Bad Catholics who have been the public standard-bearers of wielding it for evil for so long is really good to see.

Catherine Connolly once told an American tourist that when we want to say, "I love you", we say, "An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas".
