    Kingdom Hearts. People love it. I do not.

    clarifying edit: the whole Disney meets Final Fantasy concept is just like peanut butter and pickles to me. I like (classic) FF, I don’t hate Disney, but the two just do not go together. From the plot summaries and fan videos I’ve come across, it strikes me that whoever writes this stuff loves to set things up but never knows how to resolve them, so I think I’d end up hating it even if I did find the concept appealing.

    Oh and the fact Sora got into Smash over Waluigi still burns.

    AmericaUS. l I’m just done with them. I’d like it if they just STFU for a good long while. Leave everyone else alone while they implode themselves in the stupidest of ways.

    Honestly nothing. It’s almost like a compulsion, where I feel like if I ignore something I’m a bad person.

    Hobby Horsing. It really is a thing and it’s not something freaky deaky strange. It’s just kinda cringy & well why not ditch the pretend horse thing and just parkour? That there is another thing that I don’t care about. I do enjoy the outtakes of parkour mishaps. On second thought, if a highlight reel of Hobby Horsing accidents exists, I’d absolutely watch. It could really be quite entertaining.

      There is a dude on Instagram who has been doing “hobby Enduro” which is basically the same thing but with an Enduro bike stick thing between your legs. I’ve been following it for a while because it seems like it’s ironic but it’s starting to get to a point where idk if the guy still thinks it’s a joke anymore.

        Why would I waste a third of my income on a car? If push comes to shove, it may be between 5 and 8%.

      I thought I was the only one.

      I studied computers down to the transistor level. I know many of the different cells in the immune cascade. I’ve researched child psychology.

      But ask me to explain what a car’s transmission is and the only thing in my brain is dial-up tones…

      Same. I’ll go as far as changing a wheel when I have a flat, but that’s pretty much it.

      Otherwise, I can lift the bonnet and go “yep, that’s an engine” quite convincingly.

      I had a thought while watching the Winter Olympics recently. Perhaps the Olympic Committee could send an every day hobbyist first. As sort of an OMG this course is bonkers. Just watch. Let’s say we take the type of skier hitting the Giant Slalom with nothing but some apres ski big talk & bragging of mogul crushing skills and let the poor mf’er do a gravity and inertia display? I’d watch. Then, the Olympic athletes would showcase their passion, skills & talented dedication towards this common sought goal.

    The kardashian universe. I’ve never seen an ep, don’t know their names or whatever the fuck they do or say. As a 30 year old woman I feel like a unicorn not knowing shit about fuck when it comes to that whole thing.

      The French language exists purely so that there can be English speaking with a French accent.

      French was my only choice for a second foreign language in school and I hated it. Such a weird language. They need a writing reform. Bordeaux is just comically bad. English could use a writing reform as well.

        I’m blaming the French when English needs a reform. Much of the language is stolen French, with the diabolical inherent spelling traps, the other reason reform is required is the halting of the vowel change, which is why some words, though written the same, sound different - one example: though (tho) and bough (bau).

        Can’t see it happening to be honest.

    Short form content that isn’t a to the point tutorial.

    Hell, on that note, tutorial videos where the person rambles on and on and on before finally showing you what to do. I came for a tutorial on how to do something and not a blog!

      NFTs actually are an easy concept, a dollar bill is a Fungible Token, because all dollar bills are the same, you can change one for another and it all works out because both represent the same thing (one dollar). A deed to a house is not fungible, you can’t just change one deed for a different one because they represent different things. NFTs are just that, Non Fungible Tokens, why some people wanted to own a digital token representing ownership of a publicly available digital image is what can’t be explained.

        It’s a form of tax avoidance.

        Art is a tax deduction in the US. Say you have a tax liability of $10k, you buy $10k of Art and you can claim the value (not including sales cost) as a deduction.

        Then after the tax year, you sell it to the next guy. As long as you sell for the same price, you pay that much less tax (that is, about 25% of the value less in tax).

        Well an NFT is just Art without the hassle or expense of insurance or storage. It could be used as a tax deduction.

        When the IRS ruled it was no longer eligible, the NFT market collapsed.
