Am I reading too much into this or are there a lot of shots that reference other Ghibli movies?

Jooooo! New Ghibli movie coming this december and it looks GORGEOUS!!!!

I guess Bhutan should be colored as well but it's too small to see

Huge shoutout to Gambia!

I love how american politics right now is like:
Some dude: "Y'all suck!"
The people who suck: "Yeah, those people suck"
Dude: "I meant you guys, you fuckers."

And then everybody clapped

Pro: Got hit by sinspiration and got some really good worldbuilding done for my D&D campaign.
Con: The whole evening is over and I haven't done anything I wanted to do today.

"Daisy Chain Termination" is not only important when working with certain bus signals. It's also quite possibly the best name for a nerdy metal band.

@tortoc Aber nicht diese ganz kurzen "Ich hab fast keinen Strom mehr" Piepser von Rauchmeldern?

@sparklysheep Yeees! Sollte ich auch wieder öfter machen.

@trinsec Yeah, that's specifically why I put in the last bit. But I feel like most people I observe this behaviour in are not (yet) addicted but simply have a habit.
What I don't understand is why people don't seem to make the mental leap from "This is a bad behaviour" to "I should stop this behaviour" to "I will take steps to change the bad behaviour".

Maybe I chose bad example since in this case, the border of addiction and habit is kind of blurry. "I should do more sport" or "I should buy less stuff" or really any form of "This thing is bad for me/people close to me/the environment... I should probably do the thing different"

You know what really grinds my gears?
People who recognize a problem, see a way to fix it (often with minimal effort) and then... just don't do it?!?!?

For example, short form content: People know it's bad for them, joke about being TikTok addicted and having a decreased attention span and then just continue using it? You know, not doing stuff is pretty easy. And once you're at the point where you seriously notice symptoms of addiction, you should probably take some more drastic measures

Me, sweating in my stifling hot flat, looking at the weather forecast.

It's interesting how you can open any Baldur's Gate 3 Multiplayer stream and can instantly tell whether the streamers are familiar with D&D or not.

Not because of how well they are aquatinted with the rules but just because the vibe and the way the players treat each other and the game is different

Okay, you know those expectation-subverting cross-stitching frames which have an old-timey/cottagecore design but the most modern/vulgar text?

I want whatever the equivalent of that is but for tiffany lamps.

Would be so funny if India just nailed their moon landing after Russia failed just days earlier
