I swear to glob, a few days ago, I think about this t-shirt I saw as a kid in a tourist stop on the way to Canada. It stood out because it was two guys in cowboy hats and jackets, not wearing pants, with one fixing the other's tie and their dicks touching. Why am I bringing it up? Because Facebook just suggested buying it. I didn't talk about it. I didn't Google it. I literally have not seen this image in probably 35 years. In fact, I thought about it while falling asleep, and wondered if it was one of those things I had to be remembering wrong, because where would you wear a shirt like that?

I don't think my phone is reading my mind or anything, but man that's fucking creepy.

I'm going to say this is not a case of Baader-Meinhof, but your slumber thoughts being subconsciously guided by something else you saw or read earlier, which also showed up in the algorithm. But yeah, weird how that happens.

I'm real, real sure I would notice a picture of two guys in cowboy hats touching dicks in pretty much any context, but who knows?

My work is relaxed on dress code, however...

Today I got a bunch of ads promising « make up tips for older women ».

Rude phone, rude.

Congrats on turning 24. The beauty industry now considers you over-the-hill. Hollywood will now cast you as: the spinster aunt, nursing home lady, or the wife of a 60+ male star, the two of whom are the same age in the script.

I came across a Japanese porn film once with a MILFy theme, except I distinctly recalled the main actress doing schoolgirl themed productions quite recently, so I looked up the age of the actress, and she was 23 at the time. Apparently the Japanese porn industry has interesting standards for what qualifies as an older lady.

Day 6 of my hotel quarantine (the day I arrived was Day 0). I'm staying on a non-smoking floor, you can't leave your room except to get tested, there is no balcony and the windows don't open. So I haven't had a single cigarette since arriving in this country. And, although there is alcohol available on room service, I haven't had a single drop either. And the two tax-free bottles of whiskey in my cabin baggage are also untouched.

And... the stay here has been surprisingly easy for me in those regards. I think this might be one of the best chances I'm ever going to get to rid myself of a few bad habits.

I've spent too much time eyeing high end headphones, I saw the price and just mentally shrugged. I don't know if the tech in them will be worth it, but I guess Apple is happy to bring audiophile prices more mainstream.

It's only been one day since the announcement, and according to their website there's a 12 week wait for them to ship, so it's gonna be a while before any reviews come out.

My guess at their justification for the high price tag is the "spatial audio" and "computational audio" features, which I guess provides twice the value of the $250 AirPods Pro that use the same audio chip (but don't have the larger driver/extra mics)? With high-end headphones costing $2000 (yes, really), the "value" is going to be whether the audio chip can make a $500 set of headphones sound as good as ones 2x-4x that price. The website doesn't have any stats/specs for things like frequency response, THD, or SPL, so without a pair in hand, there's no way to see if they live up to that price tag. They've apparently been in the works for four years, so if they didn't get killed off in that time, then somebody thinks they're worth it.

For my Christmas gift to the forums this year I give you a horribly acted, unofficial Yu-Gi-Oh card game teaching video, circa 2004.
Skip to 23:00 for your ridicule fuel.
I don't believe those guys ever paid me in full for my role yet.

In fairness the Orpheus is in a tier unto itself (as far as I know). What's crazy to me is that expensive as that is, speaker guys probably look at that price tag and go "oh, that's cute."

I remember people complained about the AirPod price, until people realized it was worth it for what you got. And people complained about the AirPod pro price, until it was worth it.
Is the price for AirPod max insane? Yeah. I’d be interested to see how it compares to others at the same price before I judge too much though. It not meant to compete with $50 headphones though, so trying to say it’s not worth it because you can buy $50 headphones is silly.
