White noise machine, y’all. Makes life so much better. Sleep whenever you want.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Agreed. Plus I know my views pay slightly more to creators than ad-supported views (and far more than ad-block views) so I can feel superior to my fellow man.

Having a phone grip is super useful to avoid this. So I don’t really drop my phone on my face, but I do drop my Kindle! Which is funny, because I read until I fall asleep but dropping the Kindle on my face very much wakes me up.

I remember Phil Wizard, who won gold in the men’s competition. And Danny Dan who won silver, Victor who won bronze, and Shigekix who lost the bronze match.

I can’t seem to find the men’s finals on YouTube but if you can find it I highly recommend it. It was awesome. I really hope Breaking returns in 2032, the level of sportsmanship and joy the competitors showed was amazing.

For what it’s worth, headphone pads are often pretty easy to replace.

(on android, you can change the playback device without disconnecting, and that should also prevent the phone from stealing your headphones)

You can do this quite easily on iPhone as well, I was delighted to discover when my beloved OnePlus 7T Pro died and I went to the Dark Side.

Pronounced “shitter.”

Nah man, my normie wife cannot understand why I’ll have a podcast, audiobook, or TV show going while I play certain video games.

If there’s multiple stories happening it’s harder. I’ll miss stuff and have to rewind a lot. But if it’s like, Forza or Diablo or MSFS or something it works really well and keeps me engaged.

But I realize that’s probably not how everyone works.

Depends on the corporation. Silicon Valley, for example, is often all about the next quarter. Older companies that have been around longer have a longer view and tend to be more focused on long-term results.

Magical thinking peaks somewhere around blaming natural disasters on the profit motive.

Does it? We’ve pumped so much carbon and methane and other worse substances into the atmosphere (or into the earth, in the case of fracking) in pursuit of that profit and that’s directly affecting the severity and frequency of some of those natural disasters. Obviously natural disasters exist anyway, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t demonstrably making the situation worse.

Coco is probably my favorite Pixar movie. My grandfather had Alzheimer’s and near the end he was largely unable to communicate but still knew how to sing and remembered words to songs.

When Mama Coco sings at the end it broke me. I cried harder than I’ve probably ever cried in my adult life. It felt incredible. I realized I hadn’t really ever mourned my grandfather, because his death was years of slowly fading away. Such a powerful catharsis.

Let’s eat, Grandma!

Commas save lives.

Oh I love that shit. See also every video by channel Shaun (the skull with glasses).

This video on YouTube plagiarism can’t be that long…

Ubisoft is the CBS of the game industry.

Is that true? PC, Xbox, or both?

Also Hello Internet (RIP).

Seriously, I still think about the stack soap song.

Modern money zone isn’t nearly as good, but I still don’t skip it.
