Trying to figure out exactly which AKAI MPC is on the Proleter album cover but no dice! Why? I dunno it's a mystery. Seems backwards from most of them but the font is the right direction so it's not a flipped image or anything.

Proleter "Curses from past times" album art

LinkedIn post about how a guy got a job interview at Strava by running a route that spelled HIRE ME on the map

HIRE ME written on the map (looking more like HIRE NE tbh)

commenter asks if the guy got the job and OP says “I don't think so. But his effort got him noticed and a foot in the door when so many others didn't”

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

Nick: do you want to see tron in 3D
Me: only if someone has a flower on their shirt that sprays water and then actual water gets sprayed on you
Nick: what you're describing is the Muppet 3D show and it doesn't exist anymore
Me: I WANT ACTUAL PENGUINS IN THE ORCHESTRA SECTION
