I like to listen to the Muckrake podcast for analysis of recent events.

Even effects-forward pieces like Jurassic Park still hold up because everyone on the island is a memorable character and the plot is exciting! Though it’s true that the constraints on effects might have caused that - the dinosaurs in that movie only had about 15 minutes of total screen-time, so they had to actually, y’know, write.
“My ad preferences” are no ads
Even though my vaxxes are up to date, I caught the new variant recently. It was pretty nasty - a lot like strep throat.
Yep. One Pace basically just uses the manga for the storyboards without the extra bloat (though some exclusive anime segments got kept if they added to the experience), and the whole thing ends up being 40% shorter overall - and more importantly, it’s more dynamic and exciting to watch.
They have a website at onepace.net. Their actual site is not working currently, but at least it redirects to their Discord server where you can get the streaming and magnet links you are searching for!
If you do watch the anime version, check out the One Pace project, a fan-edit that removes all of the filler and stalling in the animation - it is the definitive way to watch!
I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.
That’s all, folks!
Given the history of the series, I find this to be pretty endearing. I have fond memories of playing the multi-disc Baldurs Gate 1 on PC as a child. It’s kinda fun to see that today’s gamers will have a similar experience with the same series nearly 30 years later.
Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.
It’s just about my favorite activity, yeah! Though it’s best when I can play it out on the piano, it’s a lot like playing a rhythm game like OSU.
I am a conductor and pianist with a decent level of absolute pitch who reads sheet music to myself like this all the time, and this description captures the synesthetic experience really well!
The weirdest part in my experience is that it’s easy to listen to an audiobook at the same time because the sections of the brain that process each of those things are totally separate, just how you can listen to music and study at the same time.
Well, then it can run DOOM. I’m sold.
Less-corporate, creator-owned networks like Nebula and Dropout might be a potential route to a more sustainable and less centralized online video ecosystem.
I’ve been using directly negative adjectives like “bad” or “unsatisfying.”
This is a pretty bitter and antisocial meme. God forbid that people enjoy a normal social life and live in a community where they have the opportunity to encounter people they care about and connect with them. Do you really prefer an impersonal and anonymous public life?
It’s still true that a deflationary economy would be a mess though. If we had deflation, the rich wouldn’t even bother investing and would literally just sit on a pile of gold like Smaug. I know trickle-down doesn’t work but an economy where nothing circulates would be hellish.
I feel like ATC is one of those pattern-recognition constraint-satisfaction problem jobs where a (non-generative!) algorithm can probably do a pretty good job.
