    I just go full sun down mode, turn off all the blue light from morning to night. It took a while to get used to, but now I like looking at my filmed south of the border filter screen. It's nice as I always avoid blue light before any sleep so I can lie that my sleeping problems are related to other things.

    Never heard this naming ritual. It's really interesting! I love how you use it. Is this atta hed to a particular religion or is it from the group leader?

    Watching One Punch Man. I unfortunately read some of the drama of the animation quality earlier so it came in expecting it to be horrible. I don't know that I have ever really paid attention to animation quality, as I'm happy to sacrifice it for solid story. But it really is extremely sloppy and cheap. It's almost like they sacrificed story flow itself in an effort to make animation easier.

    There was a sad comment on Reddit with all the manga panels that would never be animated, at least not soon, and how sad it was as a fan that much will not come to pass. It's real bad.

    I was listening to this, the idea of online cooperatives and new styles of social organisation online. As a writer, I like the idea of creating new online spaces for valuing creativity. I think ventures like Ampled(now failed unfortunately) need virtuous software engineers. I can imagine these spacing growing as the web rots and, hopefully, starts to decentralise more.
