ah dang, Tai-Hao once had these delightful agressively rainbow-colored keycaps as a limited run
today I learnt that websites can offer the browser multiple stylesheets: https://media.prod.mdn.mozit.cloud/samples/cssref/altstyles/index.html (unimplemented in Chrome)
I never realized before that there's official annotations on the Thos Moser lyrics (more on the website) https://genius.com/Gupi-and-fraxiom-thos-moser-lyrics

David Graeber "On the Invention of Money", anthropology
"Anthropologists gradually fanned out into the world and began directly observing how economies where money was not used (or anyway, not used for everyday transactions) actually worked.
What they discovered was an at first bewildering variety of arrangements, ranging from competitive gift-giving to communal stockpiling to places where economic relations centered on neighbors trying to guess each other’s dreams. What they never found was any place, anywhere, where economic relations between members of community took the form economists predicted: “I’ll give you twenty chickens for that cow.”
Hence in the definitive anthropological work on the subject, Cambridge anthropology professor Caroline Humphrey concludes, “No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money; all available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing”"

asking if anybody has a spare laptop because mine's fucked, boosts needed 
hey uh
my laptop's like hella fucked
does anybody have a spare like thinkpad or something they don't want
the SSD slot SATA connector is fucked, the keyboard is fucked, the mousepad is fucked... probably more things are fucked, it's like every time we try to fix it there's another problem
i'd like to be able to take the RAM out of my fucked laptop and still use it, so DDR 3 would be preferred
i can't do video editing commissions, or much of anything at all really, til this is fixed!
thank you!!!!!!!!
boosts appreciated immensely
*opens r/nintendoswitch*
"Opinion: Nintendo should port over Wii Sports Club from the Wii U to fill the Wii Sports void on the Switch."
you know, if you want a Wii U you can still buy a Wii U, right?
also, the credit sequence is the longest I've seen in any game, ever, they have the entire Open Font License in there and probably every person who ever worked for EA or sth
I finished the story of Mirror's Edge Catalyst and holy shit is the writing a trainwreck
like, you can still see that people tried to make an interesting story but then EA happened and everything ends in some extremely boring cutscenes full of meaningless action and a post-credits scene that says nothing

flying a plane dangerously low over a highly detailed city? amazing
looking at a super-accurate cockpit and pressing every button? loads of fun
starting planes? fun
landing planes? fun, as long as the landing assistant doesn't suddenly kick in and put my plane into a nosedive
the part in between? I could do without that part
really innovative that Overwatch gives me a box with four duplicates every now and then
