so when i was little, my dad would put on records any time we had to deep-clean the house. it's how i was introduced to the song roxanne.

i was like, maybe 5. "why is she putting on a red light?" i thought perhaps it was about the game "red light green light", which i enjoyed quite a bit because i was quick and small, and also i was prone to violence. maybe sting and the police wanted to run very fast and roxanne kept calling "red light" like the one kid in my kindergarten class who played the game wrong.

this is not what the song is about. add to this a fact that will become a problem later in my life (lesbian, nonbinary, etc) - my family is deeply catholic. my father (deacon, conservative, staring at a 5 year old) i guess sort of panicked because he said: "you know bug lights? and how they're blue?"

i was aware of this. some lights kill bugs but all lights were married to bugs, in my estimation of things. some marriages just end in killing, which i had learned from sneakily watching murder, she wrote.

he tried to explain that the red light is a bug-light, but just a different type. as an adult, i think he was mostly joking.

as a child, i immediately accepted this. this explained the pain in the man's voice. critically, reader, the understanding i had? they had written a song about roxanne, who is a bug. i would sing along and feel great empathy for this terribly suicidal roxanne bug, RIP.

anyway the answer to your question (how long) is: like a lot longer than you'd think. i watched moulin rougue for the first time and thought to myself: now hang on a second.

you dumb dumbs don't need AI to come up with ideas, you just need a husband who's had 2 glasses of wine and an innate desire to make you happy.

TIL the reason you don’t find much Lyme’s Disease in California is not because we don’t have Ticks, or Lyme Disease Vectors; but rather: because the Western Fence Lizard (if you live anywhere in California this is your regular Garden Variety Lizard) has adapted a passive immune response that makes their blood lethal to Lyme Disease Bacteria. Any Tick that feeds on one gets its gut cleansed of Lyme Disease as a side effect.

Fucking neat.

While pinball-like games – i.e., glass-fronted inclined tables with bells, bumpers, and spring-loaded ball launchers – were developed in France as early as the mid 1700s, these examples were games of chance, lacking any mechanism for the player to manipulate the ball once it was in play. Initial experiments in introducing an element of player skill by adding flippers proved unsatisfactory, as even the most efficient mechanical flippers were too weak to propel the ball all the way up the table. Pinball would not realise its modern form until the 1940s, with the introduction of power-assisted flippers driven by small electric motors; this final step could in theory have taken place much earlier, the first commercially viable small electric motors having been developed in the 1880s, but economic factors made it impractical.

At this point, one may note that Bram Stoker's famous novel Dracula takes place around 1897.

Thus, permitting only slight anachronism, it is just barely historically possible for Count Dracula to have owned a pinball machine.

What really ticks me off when talking about ai is when people are like "it's unavoidable" or "you'll have to learn to use it someday" or "its going to be part of the future" like no it's plenty avoidable actually if you have a spine stronger than a dandelion. You simply say "no" and continue to use your own goddamn brain.

criticism of Labubu I will accept: the blind box format encourages rampant consumerism; some people only buy them because of the trend and they will be landfill fodder in six months when that trend dies

criticism of Labubu I will not accept: hnnnnn adults playing with toys WEIRD and BAD!!!!!
