  • I’ve started wearing molle pouches on my belt, so I have pockets wether I’m wearing pants or not.

    I’m currently carrying 2 water bottles, my phone, my work phone, sunglasses, and several tools that I need constantly.

    highly recommend, just wish they were available in fun colors and designs instead of exclusively tacticool bullshit.


  • There is a significant difference between something being entertaining to watch in the moment, and it being good.

    I watched D&W in theaters with my boyfriend. Had a deadpool themed margarita. Had an excellent time, highly recommend.

    Hours after leaving the theater, I started actually thinking about the movie. The more I thought about it the more I decided that it actually wasn’t very good. At the time, I had a detailed list of complaints. I’ve forgotten the details since then.

    The broad strokes though, it’s insulting.

    D&W actively disregards and insults established MCU canon. They had a chance to expand the lore, instead they shat on it.

    The best moments in the movie could be described as “HEY! HERE’S THAT THING YOU LIKE!!! YOU LIKE THIS RIGHT?!?! LIKE THIS!!!” Which is the most disrespectful kind of reference you can do, as it’s insulting to the media and even more so to the audience.

    Ryan Renolds has a writing credit for this movie, and he has demonstrated that he fundamentally does not understand the metaphysics of marvel comics. Therefore, his commentary on the state of the MCU can fuck off. Sure, the later MCU movies had a lot of problems, but I can tell that myself, I have the power of media literacy on my side, so I can tell when the pot is calling the kettle black.

    If I were willing to actually put effort into it, I could come up with actual examples to go with my complaints, but I don’t feel like watching the movie again any time soon.

    also many people live in apartments and as such don’t have space to grow plants. Many people also live under HOAs, and as such aren’t allowed to grow edible vegetation, only decorative vegetation. These are difficult problems to solve, and “just live somewhere else” is rarely a viable solution.

    What you need is dynamic range compression. You can get a browser extension to apply it to everything you watch in a browser. VLC also has a setting for it, but I think they call it something else.

    If you’re using an app or a smart tv, then sucks to be you I guess.








  • “people” say this all the time. people who don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about, or aren’t in their right minds. Usually, these people are victims of propaganda, as the US has spend decades convincing everyone that anything socialist or communist is evil. These people exist, and pretending they don’t is almost like ignoring that 1/3 of the US population actively supports fascism.
