weights connoisseur @alice_meows@awoo.space

the main problem with the bourne identity is that their foley artist clearly hasn't seen spy kids

I can't rly imagine how an act of surfing ends that doesn't involve falling over, and I feel like the fact that they always cut away before that happens in videos is evidence that this is a fundamental problem with the sport that nobody wants to acknowledge. There is no legitimate success criteria that involves falling over

What's the endgame of surfing? Like what are the success criteria

they should've made the power point installer cd rom dual session, and stored all the sound effects in the red book portion, as a little treat for if u put it in your cd player

i mean, they love going to a fancy gym to try out their house weights. but if they're just meeting up with the boys to lift some pounds, they can just go with the flow and use the machines

the handle feel probably has a lot of dimensions. the balance of the weight too. smell? how does it smell when gripped with sweaty hands. a weights connoisseur is moderately string, but abolutely NOT jacked as shit, that would be like a wine connoisseur getting wasted. they do a few reps of each weight, just enough to capture the essence while leaving room for the other weights. they have a collection of their favorite weights that they'll do occasionally a short set with to wind down for the evening, but when they go to the gym they lift the regular gym weights like everyone else

weights connoisseur goes to a weight lifting, to lift the a variety of high quality weights from around the world. judging things like weight, and... like the feel of the handle?

movie studios should be required to seed their movies for at least a month after posting them. like you're telling me u spent a hundred million dollars on this movie and you can't afford a fucking seedbox

@jk I'm imagining it as chaining off an if...else statement. But I guess that would get complex and ambiguous pretty fast

@jk an "unless" keyword basically, right? I'm guessing that would be hell to parse, especially for an interpreter or JIT, but maybe in proper AOT compiled languages it could be done?

and then of course 592 years later apple pretended they invented it and took all the credit in the public eye

it's wild that the IEEE even existed in the 14th century, let alone developed a standard for a high speed serial bus

@ruby co-ward should be a preposition, to indicate something is moving or facing in the same direction as something

@ruby cowward

@jk and of course responding to this on my phone fucked up the threading lol. Yeah I suspect content is where the difference shows up. I can't use the official YouTube app, I need a lot of background noise and I don't always have my computer out, so its nice to have something that's just "already there" to put some guy talking about an old computer into my headphones

@jk I guess the difference is that I don't filly reject the concept of a phone, it seems like a computing form factor that could be useful for some things, I just hate how they're implemented, how they've become mandatory, etc. So I am interested in using my phone for certain tasks.

I guess the other thing is, because they're a mandatory computing device, it means for people who can't afford more than 1 device, what they have is a phone. So like how can we mitigate that disaster

@jk my take may be biased by the fact that I see ad blocking as a basic minimum viable feature, I will prefer something that's worse in every way if it doesn't have ads

@falcennial @jk necessity

@jk I see it more as "I hate how iOS can't...". Like there are differences between these platforms, it's not that android is better because it's clearly not, it's that it's less worse
