Wear whatever you want and try not to care about what other people think of it.

We seem to be constantly hearing their opinions whether we want to or not anyway.

Men like Mr Rogers don't crave power, though. To quote Douglas Adams:

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

Being able to levitate things with your mind trumps everything.

No God Particles were found.

Anything by Yello is good for testing new speakers. Planet Dada is a good one.

I was completely surprised that that arsehole was even still on the air. Everything is stupid.

EVERYTHING'S COMPUTAH!

'Live action' remakes of animated classics, or any remake of an already good film.

Remake the ones that had potential. but failed in the execution.

More a disfigurehead amiright?

I watched Trailer Park Boys on a recommendation from a co-worker many years ago. I'll have to look up FUBAR. I espouse the joys of Letterkenny to anyone that will listen. I'm the wrong person to ask about what Australians in general watch, though. They all seem to only watch the likes of Married At First Sight and Master Chef. Ugh. I've always kinda just gone my own way.

I can't believe no-one's mentioned BeamNG.drive. The stuff that game simulates is off the charts. It's been in 'early access' forever, but if you're even remotely interested in driving simulators, it's the gold standard for a realistic driving experience. Crashing in VR in this game is the most visceral thing ever. It'll change you.

Here's a clip of me driving a RHD Piccolina around one of my local roads a kindly modder added to the sim until I crash catastrophically.

For example, here's a clip of me driving a Ferrari 321PB around Targa Florio from dawn to dusk. Almost everything in this clip is a mod.

Motor Town is amazing from such a small team. Great force feedback and VR support as well.

It's so good in VR. I call it a rubbernecking simulator. You're missing most of the game without it imo. I spend most of my time looking out the windows at the views.

I bought that game just because I watched the Noclip documentary series on the developers. I haven't played it yet, and I'm not sure I ever will, but goddammit I love those two men.

Lol. I only ever go to my subscriptions page.

Zeitgeist: Addendum kinda did that for me. But the book Voltaire's Bastards was the real lynchpin well before that. Even before that, back in the late eighties, I read a book about the history of money that I borrowed from the Devonport library that really shaped my views about finances and showed me what a farce it all is, but I can in no way remember the title or author.

A recent post on lemmy mentioned something called 'money dysphoria', and it really hit home.

Robert A. Heinlein is turning in his grave like a fucking dynamo these days.

Reset your expectations. It is what it is.
