I’ll say the obvious because of where we are. Lemmy Kilmister.

Peep Show is my human litmus test. Seeing how people react to that show can tell you a lot about them.

This isn’t the little death I asked for.

I’m not a big beer drinker, but there are few things as disappointing as finding a bar that serves stout on tap, then discovering it’s been all hopped up.

If you replace the quality parts with manure bricks, at what point has it become the shit of Theseus?

Conversely, too many good games get bad reviews because of lacking endgame. So go play the next thing in your overflowing backlog. Some games do what they came for, and that’s fine.

It’s like giving a bad movie review because the concession stand was closed when you left the cinema.

Months are dumb. Inconsistent lengths, the names are out of sync (OCTober isn’t month 8), pretend to be based on lunar cycles but not, etc.

Give us Year/Day date formats. Extra new year holiday on leap years.

Is this where someone posts the relevant xkcd about too many standards?

So much of it has been lost too. We could do better, though. Teaching what we can would at least teach the general skill of learning languages.

Indonesian is an underrepresented option in my opinion. They’re neighbours and the language is relatively easy. Couldn’t hurt to improve relations a bit. Might make a better impression during the customary pilgrimage to Bali.

Do we really even need months? They don’t even line up with the lunar cycle like they pretend to do.

Just give us Year/Day. On leap years we get an extra long New Year holiday.

This would change my life more than any conventional super power.

If it’s just enough to beat out the house advantage, it might be all you need.

The pun is a bit forced, but you have to admire their spirit.

I don’t know which was first, but around 4 or 5 years old I had a bunch of dreams that I confused with reality. They were so vivid, even now when I’m back in that town I half expect to see these impossible things.

A towering rock garden in the park, a hair comb shaped like an ice block, a man in a beefeater costume who gave rides in his horse drawn cart, a singing black cat on the fence of that house on the corner,…

Musical heirs.

Early rage faces could be good. The low barrier of entry allowed people who couldn’t before to express some funny ideas. Then they ran out of ideas and continued to beat the dead horse.

That’s how I feel with running and cycling. Moving meditation has always worked better for me than trying to sit still.

The first 1km or so can be rough, but that’s just finding where your rhythm is for the session.

I need to get back into running.
