  • Ontop of all of that, it was also just clearly a corporate cash grab where the people who made it either didn’t feel strongly about it or they didn’t get to put their soul into it as much as they wanted.

    It’s not just bland, it’s a cold and calculating kind of bland. Like being served nutrient paste, but it’s not even flavourless instead they added artificial banana flavour so now it’s both depressing and makes you feel sick.






  • i don’t get why they’d do stuff like that in general, you just… don’t fucking refer to living people in media that’s set in the future lol, precisely for this reason!

    it’s also kind of cringey to talking about currently living people because it feels like such a cheap grab at being relatable, “ooooo we’re talking about [person who is currently popular], that’s right, someone from your specific time period is relevant in the future!”

    the one way you can do it in a decent way is to have it be an offhand remark, and even then you better be quite certain that they’re not going to suddenly start lighting orphanages on fire 5 years after everyone’s seen your production.


  • this depends heavily on the specific candy/dessert IMO, solid sugar candy is fine because it dissolves slowly, but some stuff just detonates a sugar bomb on your tongue and it genuinely makes me shudder in bone-deep rejection of something that must be poison.

    Swedish desserts are generally really enjoyable to me because they have a bunch of savoury with the sugar mostly coming from some sort of jelly or stuffing, like in cinnamon buns.









  • people who insist on going full speed and then SLAMMING their brakes drive me to drink, and this applies to literally all modes of transport.

    If you’re walking through a grocery store and are about to round a corner, fucking slow down so you have time to see anyone else coming your way, then you can speed up again when you know the coast is clear.

    If you’re driving a car and coming up to a red light, or even worse a pedestrian on a crossing, FUCKING SLOW DOWN and just coast slowly, it’s not worth the off chance that you get to blast through at full speed, not for you or anyone else.




  • AFAIK a big reason for this is because we’re utterly anal about making everyone pay for railways, while roads are obviously necessary for civilization to exist and thus they’re perfectly free to use!

    it’s the same corrupt double standard that applies to public transport, it’s just a systemic “oppression” of efficient systems in favour of inefficient ones that let money be funneled into the pockets of asphalt manufacturers and car companies and whatnot.
