  1. Comment on How the ‘Barbie’ vs ‘Oppenheimer’ online discourse is helping both films: It’s no longer a case of “Either/or” that it first appeared to be but rather “Which one first?” in ~movies

    I take it the "It's Morbin Time" stuff. There probably is a fairly sized group making memes about Barbie X Oppenheimer, but they are mostly just doing it to be in on the joke. Of course, I'm not on social media, so I'm not at the zeitgeist of this stuff anymore.

    I doubt even a fraction of them are even going to watch one of them, much less do a double feature.

    I have a .pizza TLD and you are right about the headache. Lots of sites just don't recognize it as a valid email, so I have to keep a Gmail anyway.

    But even giving it to other people is rife with misunderstanding. I often have to add "no .com, no .net, nothing". But they try to add it anyway. Or in one instance of my bad handwriting, tried to email .pizz9 instead.

    Apparently you gotta put the + in there also to mean Check.

    That algorithm is what led me to leaving Facebook. Back in 2016 or so, I started blocking every website or article that showed up in my feed, regardless of whether I agreed with it or not. Didn't take me long to figure out I was barely getting any news from or meaningful interaction with my friends. It was all just rage-bait, so I left. I just thought it was me getting older and crankier, but now that I think about it, there is a fishy cloud outside I need to go yell at.

    I'm looking at my options right now to do exactly that. Or maybe turn it into a battle car instead, lol.

    2006 Toyota Century, aka the one with a V12.
    I actually walk to work daily. And I usually take public transportation when I go somewhere. The only time I really drive is on road trips, so I wanted a comfortable and unique car to suit that.

    Most people hear it has a V12, and they think it's an asphalt killer. But really, it's only rated at about 300hp. So it's really built for comfort and oh man, that thing is silent on the highway.

    Rokunen Yonkumi if you want to eat at an izakaya styled like an elementary school.

    Still rocking a GTX 960 because GPU had been crap for so long. I've taken this as an opportunity to play older games that I can get on a deep discount. Currently that is SnowRunner.

    Switch is still my preferred gaming platform, which of course means Zelda TOTK.

    And my PS5 is gathering dust. But to be honest, I am the target audience for Sony's weird little Project Q device. Just hinges all on the price.

    I think I have to admit to myself I might not like interacting with people on the internet anymore. I've been using a combination of Reddit, Discord, and a couple of old school web forums for a while. From niche communities full of elitists, to always having to be "100% on", I'm just kind of exhausted with it.
