I'm this close to burning a Jeremy Knox themed playlist onto a CD

I've been enjoying the 20+ year old portable DVD player I found at my parents' place. But it was really struggling and flat out wouldn't let me finish some movies. So we sprung for this combination DVD/BluRay player and I've already watched 3 movies in it.

It got me thinking about why I have been gravitating toward unitaskers (DVD player) over multitaskers (laptop, phone). I think it's because for every use you add to an object, you add friction to using any individual use case.

If I want to watch a DVD on this player, I just put it in and press play.

If I want to do it on my laptop, I need to connect an external drive, not get distracted by anything else on my laptop, put in the DVD, select the media player, press play, and resist the temptation to do anything else on the laptop for the run time of the film.

And I know there are people who would scoff at that being that difficult and I mean I get it, but willpower is limited and environmental design uses up none of it.

So all hail the unitaskers.

streaming has ruined the sanctity of albums.

an album, as a unit, used to be something you could listen to in its entirety, and you could get into the vibe of the album by itself.

but because of ads being jammed between songs, the nice transitions between each one are wasted. the music artist/band has gone through the effort of making the songs melt together- so they feel like one whole thing rather than individual songs. but NO. i absolutely NEED to hear about this new shampoo or medication or credit card.

everyone should have an ipod. or a nice cd player. ive always used streaming, so i didnt realize until i got rlly fixated on ipods and such, but physical media is objectively better for experiencing music in general. you just have the music- not ads or buffering or paywalls* or anything that takes away from it

* "but alex! cds and digital downloads cost money!" ➡️ 💿💿💿💿💿💿💿💿 ⬅️

TLDR: streaming takes away from the experience of listening to music, physical media is better.

I have regressed. I refuse to live in the year 2025.

i genuinely hate it when people act like you have to be either stupid or elderly to fall for scams. anyone, anywhere, can be taken advantage of, especially people who think they're too smart or not a big enough target to be vulnerable.

it really makes me angry that we're just used to being bombarded with spam emails and robocalls designed to steal money from you. but that's not the end of it, there's fake job interviews, fake real estate listings, those try to steal your money too. it's fucked up!

yeah yeah be vigilant of course but when did a very reasonable amount of trust in other people become worthy of losing your life's savings? and who decides what a reasonable amount of trust is? because nowadays it seems to be zero!

Anastasia the Musical sucks so bad. They really said "We're gonna cut the best song from the movie - just axe the absolute banger that is 'In the Dark of the Night' - because we are being SERIOUS and GROWN-UP now. We are A Big Historical Realism Musical Now. This is FOR REAL, okay!? We don't have a SILLY villain like Rasputin! We have Gleb! [Please Just Clap.] We are HISTORICALLY GROUNDED. -- Anyway, here's a musical unironically glorifying the Russian monarchy~~ 💖😌💖😌💖😌💖"
