I’m reading it for the first time this year, downloaded for free from Gutenberg.org.

Grabbed it right after watching Muppet Christmas Carol and once I finish I’ll watch Spirited. Scrooged is of course saved for Christmas Eve.

Also been thinking about throwing into the mix that one episode of Real Ghostbusters where they go back in time and unwittingly catch the three ghosts which screws up the timeline because of the unrepentant Scrooge that results.

I’m very happy that he seems to have his own stocking. 😊

No no no. No one should ever watch the remakes. The OG show and End of Eva movie, while not perfect, are an extraordinary and focused (again, with a few exceptions and missteps along the way) artistic expression from a soul in pain trying to understand and work through their traumas, the kind of exercise that some of the best art comes from.

The remakes are nonsensical meta garbage about Anno (the artist in question) trying to leave behind this behemoth IP empire that he accidentally created and desperately wants to be free of, to the point that he couldn’t even finish the damn things himself.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I truly regret the time I spent watching the remakes.

“…as he thrust his purple-helmeted warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding…”

A Look Around You reference in the Wild? My day is made! ❤️

Unlike Grok, I am utterly speechless…

Having it as a ’launch title’ with the Steam Machine release would be more hype than the world could handle.

God I love SCP so much. Probably why I loved Control so much, it was like playing SCP: The Game or something.

Holy shit, this got a spit take out of me! 🤣

How has the Tolkien estate not already sued them into oblivion for this?

Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens.

Lots of great advice here but this stands out as a really good bit that a lot of people (including myself) need to consider.

Weekend proooojeeeeeect! 🎵

I recently learned the term for this feeling is ‘derealization.’

And I too increasingly feel like I’m in someone’s game of The Sims and they’re just fucking with me more and more to see how insane things can get before I lose my mind.

Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).

I thought Mullvad didn’t port forward any more so torrents didn’t work with it?

How do you access this output?

Same! Even though I’m not excited about this timeframe in the Trek universe, I just became exponentially more excited knowing she’s involved.

It reminded me, very randomly, of quote from a book about urban design and how architectural ideas are introduced and accepted by the public… or not.

From this the “principle of the second man” can be formulated: it is the second man who determines whether the creation of the first man will be carried forward or destroyed…

It was a golden chance and a room full of cowards let it slip.

The book is Design of Cities by Edmund Bacon for anyone interested.

I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.

My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.
