I'm so proud of the progress I'm making.
 
The whole Ea-Nasir and the bad quality coppers from Ancient Mesopotamia is proof that some things never change.

The complaint letter tablets are interesting, yet it is truly the earliest recorded forms of scamming people that fell for the age old "too good to be true" deal. Besides that, I'm glad that Mesopotamian history is being spread out through memes because it is strangely one of the more effective ways for people to learn something new.
 
I want to make the switch from Spotify to YouTube Music... I'm just intimidated by the fact that I have to sort through my 600+ liked songs playlist and re-add them to YT. 😭 Some of them will be easy (like not adding Megadeth's remastered songs lmao), but still.

At the very least, I'd be able to add remixes, covers, and live concerts onto my YT liked songs since they're not on Spotify.
 
Black Mirror Bête Noire was a little bit undercooked. It got really good in the last two minutes and then really silly in the last minute. There's so much more you could have gotten out of that story, it could have been a movie. This is the only episode I actually want a sequel from.
 
Is it acceptable to tell someone you fancy them even if they're going out with someone else? Or at least tell them they look nice. Asking for a friend...
This is just my opinion, but I wouldn’t do it, especially if you know they are going out with someone else or even interested in someone else.

Typically when people tell someone they fancy them, they are expecting there to be an outcome whether it be for them to dump their SO for them, or for them to cheat on their SO with them.

Neither of those are respectful in any sense, even if you’re doing it out of respect for yourself.
 
Just letting you know how much time has passed:
  • Before SpongeBob premiered, Nickelodeon was more synonymous with Rugrats. Next year, Rugrats turns 35 years. Speaking of which, SpongeBob started going downhill 20 years ago.
  • Next year, Pokémon, as well as the Nintendo 64, both turn 30. Some of those who weren’t born before then are now getting married and are having kids.
  • This year, Toy Story turns 30. Some of the earliest Dreamworks animated films, which are less memorable than movies like Shrek and How to Tame Your Dragon, came out more recently than Toy Story.
 
(Drag Race Talk) Whoever picked that last song for the Lip Sync Tournament…we need to talk. (I’m sorry but personally I despise that song lol.)

Was glad Suzie won though! I’d been rooting for her from the beginning!

I think I know why Super Smash Bros (N64) isn’t on Nintendo Switch Online. Other than Nintendo moving slowly on retro title releases, the reason behind Smash’s absence on the N64 app is the exact same reason why we don’t use Windows 98 computers anymore. Smash is one of these oddball franchises where each new entry invalidates the previous entry. No point in playing the N64 version when you have SSBU. But there is a point in playing Mario Kart 64 when you have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

I don’t think there’s any harm in not including it for people who haven’t played the older games who would want to experience them. Besides, it’s not like every feature from older Smash games can be found in Ultimate anyway. If they were, and Ultimate was just adding new things, so it’s literally only an upgrade, I would understand it. Hopefully they at least add Melee to the Switch 2.

What makes Mario Kart different from Smash? They each have a unique play style and stages.

That was one of the explanations given by a GameFAQs member 9 years ago. But given that GameFAQs is full of trolls, I can’t find them reliable. But it’s true that Nintendo has been sidelining Smash games.

Yeah that's what I thought I'll let MY FRIEND know 😉
 
I’m hoping my connection is here to stay now 🤞. Thank you so much @Xara for relaying my messages to everyone that I needed to message 🫶💜💜💜. Yesterday jt was so frustrating and annoying. My internet provider said sometime yesterday that it was fixed but I didn’t get my connection back until now (not sure if it will go out again).

I'm going to a creative futures festival today, there are different things on at different times, and I forgot I got a ticket for the networking lab that starts at 11AM, but there's no way I'll make it for that one. Silly of me to not realise i had booked that ticket, I do have two other tickets for other things so not completely missing out.
Still need to look up how to get there anyways.
 
I think I need a shelf/organizer for my CDs. It'd be easier to store and view them than putting them in a box.

EDIT: Also, I didn't realize how many CDs I bought recently until now; Five from Korn, two from Nirvana, two from Avenged Sevenfold, one from Red Hot Chili Peppers, and two from Cheerleader Concubine... Okay, I think I'm definitely getting that CD organizer. 😭
