been thinking about how the Japanese–English translation industry suffers from a generation of people growing up entirely on translated media, but honestly a bigger issue might be too that cartoons and video games just generally don't have very good writing to begin with either

@openvibe.social I like your app a lot so far, but I don’t know why I’m seeing random Nostr posts, given that I don’t have an account for that to begin with. If I wanted to see random strangers talking about Bitcoin, Twitter is already full of that sort of nonsense. Can I disable those?

so much of David Sedaris's writing is basically just about how he is simply not a good person, but it's well enough written that it's entertaining, probably specifically because I do not know him and will never interact with him

I kind of like how “in Undertale you don’t have to kill any monsters” covers the exact same ground as “Rosebud was his sled” where the “spoiler” that isn’t really a meaningful spoiler also somehow occupies all of the space that actual spoilers might, about really excellent works
