  • It’s more like it’s tyranny of the majority, where some popular style or VFX or meme or dominates the landscape. Figet spinners, Stanley tumblers, bean mouth animation, Vaporwave, that time Terminator 2 came out and everybody was showing off liquid metal VFX like it was out of style, the same thing with VCR screen fuzz on videos now, etc. I think Tiktok has made this problem infinitely worse, since all it takes is some random video to get insanely popular, and suddenly people are consuming some other shitty product, or eating cleaning products, or doing something else fatally stupid.

    And yes, it’s incredibly easy to download some Ghibli art style. Or any art style, really.









  • I only take caffeine for ADHD. I think it’s important to make sure it’s a set amount of milligrams. Don’t be drinking 3 Monster energy drinks one day, and then 1 the next day, or you may find yourself unfocused, tired, whatever. Or if you start increasing your intake, you might establish some new normal, and that might be bad for side effects.





  • Same company acquired two very similar apps.

    One required a $14/year subscription, the other $90/year

    So, why are you using a subscription at all, and not a free and open source app?

    You know what Blender is? It’s the industry standard. Why is it the industry standard? Because it’s free, open-source GPL, it can never be taken away from you, it can never be “acquired”, everybody’s using it, and everybody is contributing towards improving it. Nobody is bitching about how Blender is extracting millions of dollars from its users and reducing its feature set at the same time. (*cough cough* Photoshop *cough*)

    Free and open source software. Every. Single. Fucking. Time. Fuck subscriptions.
