In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

A curse of 600 or more diarrheas on sites/services that on iPhone demand installing a special app & registering an account but on desktop simply open in a browser as a guest. Not mentioning any names like Trello, TikTok or Temu. And I mean 600 concurrently, not sequentially.

Quake is basically a cat simulator:
- Only possible interactions are attacking and rubbing against things
- Can jump ridiculous distances
- Can’t understand anyone
- Compelled to kill everything that moves, for fun

I got myself a new mountain bicycle.
I believe I am going to: 'shred' the 'trails' today.
Glossary
Shred: to bimble along.
Trails: paths down mild inclines.

I hope after buying EA for fifty billion they instruct the firm to produce:
- Dirt Rally service game.
- A new Deluxe Paint.

pro tip for watching movies: turn on HDR if the movie doesn’t support it. that way you can watch it with sunglasses and it’ll dim it back down to normal. that way you can feel cool cause you’re wearing sunglasses
