I used to be against it, then my PC died in the early COVID days and the only (practical) way I could get a future-proofed replacement was to get a pre-built, and they all had RGB.

From there, though, it grew on me. Like so many other things I enjoy about working with computers, the learning process was just super enjoyable for me.

I read about different standards (RGB vs aRGB, 3 pins vs 4 pins, this module or that one, this software vs that), tried a few things, and got it looking like I wanted. Now I’m using OpenRGB to make my own patterns that match the room or the weather or whatever wallpaper I’ve got. Turning understanding into control and self-expression just feels good man.

When a picture is worth a billion words.

One could not hope for a more pure visualization of “letting go.” We extoll its virtue, but it can be so hard to do. No matter what, there will always be something that we hold on to, until our final breath.

You gave your friend a great gift that day. I know it was hard, but you should be proud of the compassionate person that you are.

Crazy. Today at work I accidentally pressed the intercom button on my phone and approximately 600 people unexpectedly heard a really loud “BOOP” with no message or followup whatsoever, all at the same time, and it made me think of this.

The Great Mouse Detective (1986).

Lets just call it what it is. Aquaman.

Except, of course, when it is Khal Drogo.

It was Friday, March 14th, 2003. Pi Day.

I played guitar in a shitty band in highschool and the administration let us play an impromptu show in the commons during the last period of the day, as long as we played an original song for Pi Day. Our vocalist recited somewhere around 100 digits of pi while the rest of us just made noise over a PA before they came out and told us to quit. Then we all went on possibly the best Spring Break ever.

Not much, leak. What’s a dawg with you?

If consolidating might mean more posts and replies, then I’m all for it!

Now, to any person who has ever seen an AI image or indeed seen anything in the real world, you’d think it would be obvious that these are fake images. … And yet, other each of this images there are hundreds, sometimes thousands of positive comments. …

So braindead and stereotypical are these comments that you might think they are themselves AI generated. But, picking a few at random, I checked out their profiles and they seem genuine. … They did also all seem to be active churchgoers but that must be some kind of coincidence…

Shots fired.

He’s got a bit of that patented Mr Beast Combo of vacant gaze and simulated smile, too.

“pussy”

“pusay”

There’s that word again. Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?

Kiki’s is my favorite too, but that last part you mentioned in the spoiler text WRECKS me, everytime. For that reason alone, it’s just not a “feel good movie” to me, either. But absolutely an amazing piece of art.

I’d say Pompoko. There’s a heavy environmentalism message throughout, but it’s all conveyed to you by Hobbit-like, shape-shifting raccoons with huge nutsacks (in a charming way).

Kiki’s Delivery Service, Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle… All of those have at least one scene that rips at my heartstrings. Much more so for Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, The Boy and The Heron. I still haven’t steeled my resolve enough to watch Grave of the Fireflies.

“Did y’all see what Biden just fuckin’ did to us, man?”

- Them, when that happens, probably

I’m playing two different saves in Skyrim right now, and I still thought it was The Long Dark when I saw the thumbnail. Seriously underappreciated title!

Would be more accurate if the piss blew right by Trump, then hit The American Tax Payer in the face instead.

It’s when ssision happens, again.

It is the lgpt flag that got burned by ElonTrump

I think it’s called Chat LGPT.
