    Apparently, pet birds will get really sexually frustrated if a loved one pets them on the back, since it triggers a mounting-vibe

    I'm finishing up my sci-fi, considering it grand practice for me, and nothing else. I got a major piffany lately, one that is exciting me!

    Sometimes, in order to mark an object, to manipulate it, I have to click it again and again and again and again, and on the 20th click, the program is like "oh, my bad, you intended to click on that object? here you go. object marked!" and upon re-clicking for another adjustment, the same thing - NO reaction...

    And the zoom, oh boy oh boy oh boy - want to zoom out a little bit? Well - prepare to scroll that mouse-wheel for the next 20 minutes. And anything that is outside of view, CANNOT be zoomed or panned to - it'll ALWAYS be out of view, you MUST use the "grab tool" and move the whole image from side to side.

    It's one of those programs that after 5 minutes I'm talking loudly, regularily "WTF YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!" and after 15 minutes, I'm already dripping with sweat.

    Other than all of that, it's pretty decent!

    Still giggle that Americans consider themselves the only people incapable of removing the big plastic egg from the chocolate component

    I am going to find justifications to point and laugh at America so long as America exists. That's the trade-off.

    Anytime I meet a Norwegian I assume they live in Oslo.

    HOW DA-A-ARE YOU! I did live in Oslo for a short while, chasing some skirt, who turned out wanted me as some sort of nerdy quirky pet, more than anything else.

    How are so many "reactors" seeing Pans Labyrinth as a litteral fantasy *with* a happy ending??

    I once saw a youtube video of a person who thought Parasite was about a boy overcoming the hardships his lazy family imposed on him and that the ending was happy because he stayed ambitious. Some people just don't do subtext and sometimes not even TEXT.

    Best cooking recipe pet peeve though: 1. Now, pour in the milk, and boil! 2. In another pot, pour in the rest of the milk.

    Holy fuck would it kill people to actually suggest real earthly measurements in cooking recipes? Most recipes have them, thankfully

    What is a cup anyway? I have like 4 sizes of cups on my topshelf. I always default to the shortest one to be on the safe side, but I also have a measuring cup that I never get to use properly because most recipes don't even list correct measurements.

    I got roped up in an audiobook project once. Some people just don't like the idea of multiple takes or having to do anything more than reading it for hours. I got so fed up insistign to them to read by paragraph at maximum and if they were reading something with complicated syntax to break it up even more so that they didn't end up noticeably out of breath or tounge tied that I just quit the project.

    Every now and then I think of Ed Sheeran just showing up in Game of Thrones. Remember that?

    I remember being excited for GOT bein on it's last season because then I would binge it and have something to watch for the rest of the year. Then everybody basically stated that season was parody level bad and I just loled out of watching it lol

    I don't think I've watched a single one. TV debates are painful enough. Debates are all performative - they might be useful in informing voters about current issues, but mostly they are pure spectacle - like when pitting a flat earther with an austronaut and like "ok, debate :0"

    Dunno about booster shots, sounds like a hastle. I got my first jab a month ago, getting my next soon. It went surprisingly smoothly, special bus to the site, chop chop, everyone given numbers, sit and wait less than 10 mins, someone w a metal stroller pokes your arm, and then you sit another 10-20 mins to make sure you don't faint or something

    Analysis - more reasons I hate Google: Any googlable social issue or conundrum will always be *the most commonly searched* type of problem

    Now - my instinct is then to TWEAK the wording of my search, but this is counter productive, because Google is now interpreting my repeated searches as - wow - this guy REALLY struggles with his confidence, and it only ramps up *what it allready* thinks I'm after, MORE concentrated self help, MORE Q/A stuff

    ESPECIALLY with topics of psychology etc, where there will be a clear chance most people will be searching *similar topic* but totally different approach, usually personal, usually desperate, usually asking for help.
    You see the same in games, like - say you want to search a particular game mechanic, to learn about it, and instead you find *related topic* but worded as "how do I find magic cave i cant find it :'("

    If you ever wondered - swifts are the best birds. Period. No bird can be better, here's why:
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    They feed in the air, okay - they drink in the air, they catch droplets. Right. They sleep in the air. Really, they do. They mate on the wing! Some swifts have been known to spend *an entire year* non stop flying - not landing once. The only thing they *must* do on land, is lay eggs and rear chicks. Otherwise, all they do is fly.

    Garden bird boxes, with cameras inside and often another facing the box entrance. Hour-long footages of birds nesting, laying eggs, feeding chicks, etc. Some will split between "PG" and "kid friendly", since birds discarding dead chicks is pretty common. I'm hooked!

    I'm getting dogpiled by Americans for laughing at their lack of proper cheese.

    I work in a deli and I can safely tell you that American cheese sucks. Yet nearly every boomer wants White American Cheese. It's so bland! I prefer something with a little more flavor.

    The only great American cheese is Muenster. But even that was an European imitation.
