They're solid generic blockbuster action-ish movies. They're not amazing, but they're fun enough that I think they're worth a watch if you can't decide what to watch one night.

I know it's kinda cheating to bring them up in this context, but the Swiss manage to run trains to very small towns just fine

I think survivorship bias plays into it as well. Yeah, most the stuff on the radio today is kinda meh. Most the stuff on the radio in those days was kinda meh too. All the meh songs got forgotten, and you only remember the bangers. You've already seen it happen to 00s music and we're watching it happen with the 10s.

But yeah, it's wild how many people look at how accessible different types of music are now and just... don't go looking.

In a pretty short span of time no less.

I've definitely had 16 drinks in a day before, just spread out over, yknow, most that day.

That smile ad is still one the weirdest campaign ads I've ever seen

Funnily enough, taking my glasses off in a dream and still being able to see is how I've realized I was I a dream a couple times. Unfortunately I immediately get way too excited at the prospect and immediately wake up every time haha

I make use of that trick a lot, unfortunately it wasn't a ton of help this time.

No, I frankly don't have the slightest clue how I did it.

I apparently threw my glasses across the room in my sleep last night. Spent a solid 5 minutes going full on Velma mode looking for them.

Portal and Portal 2 are my go to tests for if a machine qualifies as "an computer". Basically, if it can run those, it's probably good enough to be grandmas facebook machine. Might have to toss an ssd into it (exactly what I did with an old core2duo hp pavilion), but generally I find it to be a good rule of thumb.

Plus it gives me an excuse to play Portal when I test a machine :P

Surprised no one has said it, but Minecraft. I love it as much now as I did when I was 12. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it, especially if you start playing with mods. Then there's servers such as Hypixel which for all intents and purposes are an entirely separate game in and of themselves.

I'm sure part of it is nostalgia, some of my fondest gaming memories were playing Minecraft with friends, but I still find it to be an excellent way to relax.

(Tangentially related, anyone else remember when waiting 3 months for 1.2.5 > 1.3 was an absurdly long update time for the game? Different times.)

I can, considering the chances of Trump intensifying support of the genocide are 100%
