Saving money. I take pride in doing my research and getting the best deal instead of just stumbling into the first store I come across and paying for whatever the sales person talks me into. The latter wouldn't even hurt me financially, it's just a thing of principle.

Cats. I used to be a dog person until I rescued this little red oxytocin potato.
Nickelback. I don't know why they get so much hate, their music is actually decent
For me it was the radio and that a lot of their popular songs sound the same-ish (not hard to do with that voice). The radio has ruined a lot of bands for me simply by having a 40 minute playlist on repeat. Like The Killers.
Some of there songs are dope
High school of the Dead. I watched the anime because of that titty/bullet gif. I freaking loved that show. ~~Not so much the piss scene, but still.~~
What piss scene? I Must have pushed it out of my Brain..
Bluesky and AT proto
The idea that you can just take your account and migrate it to different PDS is awesome.
Gun Control lol
Charlie Kirk would approve... Well, he would now I mean. SCNR
Too soon?
I saw someone say charlie kirk used the getting shot tactic to avoid the question.
Charlie Kirk getting fucking holed
If he's so pro life, why is he dead?
If he was anti-vax why did get a shot?
Brave and contrary.
The ends of a loaf of bread are the best slices
Especially toasted. So much crunch.
Vlogging is not vanity. It’s a special way to capture memories to share with others currently. And to view yourself and others in a time capsule, a stasis where you can view the old world
I want to view my vlogs as an elder and appreciate my memories, even more than I thought I did when I filmed them
What about live streamers walking around public?
AMD > Nvidia
There's simply no reason why a GPU should have proprietary drivers, when that is a core, basically inseparable part of a computer. You literally NEED one to see what you're doing with your computer (yes, integrated graphics also count).
I mean, imagine if your sound card had proprietary drivers. The world would go nuts.
Speed Racer (2008)
Uniquely colorful, silly, wholesome, every single one of its frames oozes style and creativity. It's exactly what an animated adaption should aim to be and will forever stand out against the blue and orange, brown and bloom palettes that plagued that era of media.
It's simply so visually exciting and fun.
Not a great movie but the villain speech is one of the greatest of all time

I was an early adopter of No Man's Sky (long before the shift in public perception), and I fucking loved it back then, and love it now as well. But admitting that in public a few years back was tantamount to saying that stapling your child to a rabid badger was a great alternative to hiring a babysitter.

Modern magic. We tricked crystals into thinking by drugging them and zapping them with electricity. Then we used those crystals to trick matricies into hallucinating by forcing them to guess the answer to math questions and smacking them when they get it wrong and kept doing that until they get it right. Ethics and hype aside, it's pretty fucking wild.

A little ketamine just as the lsd or shrooms kick in.
I don't feel the k is really necessary, I just recommend the psychs alone. It feels dumb that this is illegal.

Steven Universe. The online fandom was insane. The actual show was incredible.
I'd say the same thing for generation 4 of My Little Pony.
I think the fandom is so crappy about it because the show had to cut out most of the redemption arc of the big bads because it was prematurely cancelled. If so that’s pretty silly because it came about after the creator stuck up for a lesbian wedding being included.
