A collection of thoughts if you will, mainly pertaining to fandoms or other musings. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing (though I can't say that I enjoy the end product of my creations), and would be happy to assist whenever I can. Also, music. That I can be of great assistance, mainly pertaining to classical music and percussion.
Personnal storyboard based on my favorite scene of @eldenring shadow of the erdtree, the tragic confrontation with former comrades… The music of the fight (Those United In Common Cause - Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree OST) is so beautiful I had to do something with it. It was a totally different exercise than the previous storyboard, with one simple arena but many different characters.
truly the most american thing is Big Drink. more than late stage capitalism, more than an unparalleled cultural focus on individualism, more than 9/11 jokes
what binds all americans together culturally is Big Drink
and you might be saying “is this fat shaming” or “but mayor bloomberg outlawed Big Drink in nyc” or “gays are so annoying about their iced coffee” or some other dumb comment but no open your minds, Big Drink isn’t just sugary or caffeinated beverages
every day i see one of you hydration bitches (affectionate) on the train with a water bottle so big a toddler could drown in it. that too is Big Drink.
we literally invented a bigger beer can (tall boy) in wisconsin in the 60s in the service of Big Drink
anyway i never feel more american then when i have Big Drink in my hands
A good rule of thumb for AI is “would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?”
“We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they’re really good at it” okay great, that’s something that could plausibly be a thing.
“We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications” uh perhaps consider not doing that.
I dunno man. I found out today that a subway sandwich is $14 now. A shitty subway footlong sandwich that isn’t actually 12 inches long and is occasionally made with expired ingredients and was never a great option to start with. I ate those in high school because I was broke and at the mall a lot.
There are poke bowls in my city from a local place for $16. Super fresh fish and veg, warm rice, more than I can eat in one sitting, for the price of a sandwich and a drink at america’s most mid-tier sandwich shop.
Someone in another post said (paraphrased) you used to be able to get something mediocre for cheap, but now the mediocre things cost as much as the nice things so why would you?
This is me when I realized I could get a proper bowl of curry from the fancy indian food place for basically the same price as a fuckin McDonald’s hamburger meal these days
I heard an ad the other day for a “fantastic deal! Four dollar four inch subway snack sandwich!” And like. I’m sure that would seem like a much better deal I’d I wasn’t one of the ones who grew up with obnoxious “five dollar foot long subway sandwich” ads.
A dollar an inch of sandwich. When it used to be 2.4 inches. 240% markup is GOOD? Fucking bite me
Yeah with fast food having delusions of grandeur these days it’s really made me appreciate the non-chain food places in my area. The other day I went to the local Hawaiian BBQ place and discovered that they have teriyaki chicken AND Beef BBQ musubi for 3.99. and they come in pairs. PAIRS.
I KNOW.
So I immediately bought an order of each and had 4 delicious musubi and a drink for less than a combo at Burger King.
So yeah, show em we don’t need their shit sandwiches.
There’s some hilarious irony in that by creating an ad campaign so incredibly catchy and memorable that it entered public consciousness (the dream of any marketing team), Subway ensured everyone of a certain age range would view them as the poster child of fast-food price gouging.
