K-pop to me is like the musical equivalent of extremely over-processed cheese. It's so corporate I feel like I can hear the execs jacking it to CP in the background of every track.

Smaller communities strike me as more "natural" to engage with, by which I mean, the human brain (or mine at least) seems better equipped to engage with small groups of familiar people than a sea of usernames I don't know and have no real rapport with.

but when people say they create their own echo chambers Yada Yada thing, even though I would agree with that, it's interesting to see how people who believe different things, are just amongst eachother.

I think being exposed to the cacophony of "sound" online had given a lot of people strange ideas about "echo chambers." To me it's extremely natural and obvious that most people would gravitate towards people they actually like and broadly agree with, rather than toss themselves into online spaces where they're constantly at odds with the other users. Depending on one's perspectives and political persuasions, finding those spaces can be fairly easy, or very hard.

Fuck 'em. If Joe / Democrat replacement does lose, be sure to personally take credit.

Pushing a candidate/party to the left (if such a thing were possible) requires leverage.

They didn't understand this with the whole "Bernie or Bust" thing in 2020 either. Or maybe they did, but either way, they chose to characterize it as petulant. "Taking the ball and going home" was a common way they'd try to deride it.

"President Joe Biden has suddenly passed away this evening after a meeting with Hillary Clinton. Aides tell us he died peacefully, of fully natural causes, which were fully natural."

The main thing I associate with Warren (other than the warren-snake-green stuff) is that indignant, "upset old-lady" face that she'd do if anybody tried even the weakest "gotcha" comment on her. She'd look so strangely hurt by their remarks. Made her look weak, imo.

The 1987-88 TV horror-drama series Werewolf. It's basically just the '70s Hulk show but with a werewolf instead of The Hulk. Guy becomes a werewolf fugitive roaming the US, wanted by a bounty hunter (named Joe Rogan lol), pursues the werewolf the curse traces back to in hopes of killing it and curing himself, etc.

Fun fact, this show was a part of the FOX channel's debut lineup when it first started airing.

Un-fun fact, this show is increasingly moving into "lost media" territory because of its general obscurity, and the fact that licensing disputes over music rights (such as using the song Silent Running in the pilot episode) prevent it from being re-published on modern media.

If you search for it on duckduckgo, it will likely give you an archive page where you can watch the whole series in considerably-worse-than-standard definition.

Frankly, it's a series that I would love to see a reboot / remake for, because the basic premise (as well as the premises of various individual episodes) is solid, but the execution is plagued by sloppy writing and weirdly awful editing at times.

Whatever "Roblox" is. Whenever I see or hear about it, it strikes me as some sort of scam or something. I think it's some sort of game engine? But seemingly way more proprietary than any other?
