    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"

    Now imagine them 1000 more cringy because it's between people whose job is screaming at a microphone about Marvel movies trying to discuss academic and political topics.

    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.

    Come on, one of herb for Muenster cheese is native from America. Well south america, but to call it imitation is just stretch.

    7 minutes late, like it's nothing, then the next one slammed its door shut on some lady, and dragged her for a full meter, before she was able to wrestle loose. The separating wall, isolating the drivers, have unhinged them completely. The only trustworthy ones are the sub sah africans, they're desperate to impress.

    At the very least 2 feelings

    On a serious note, my favorite "feeling" in nature is annoyance. In my life I have deliberately annoyed all of my pets, birds, cats, dogs - and they all respond predictably :V

    Like, yes, this is an important news story about ecology, and peoples misguided notion that birds are "a pest", and take it upon themselves to deal with them - but no, let's rewind and ARREST WHOEVER's BLASTING SHOTGUNS *INSIDE THE CITY* plz :I

    This reminds me of a comedic scene in a Swedish movie, depicting quickly edited "countryside hillbilly crimes", including "a moose hunt" in the middle of a crowded playground - only this time, it was real, and in the city!

    The hickery is impressive

    Brazilian portuguese - not even Portuguese portuguese! This results in these sharply defined cheeks that you can spot in so many Brazilians!

    The Norwegian word for "male voice" features 5 consonants in a row - "mannsstemme", defying the general rule of "no more than two"
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    Three consonants in a row is not entirely uncommon, especially when compounding words. Four consonants in a row is much rarer. Five in a row, I can only think of that one example for now.
