my friend has got me watching this popular russian competition reality show about like psychics participating in Psychic Challenges to prove who is the Most Psychic (битва экстрасенсов/battle of the psychics) and it's pretty much what you expect (silly "tests", extreme credulity, loud personalities, bizarre editing, etc) but it remains an extremely fun time-waster... but like, the only english version we've been able to find is a youtube channel that uploads episodes in english (with ~30 views per video) that is really really obviously machine translated--like, it seems to have used a speech-to-text THEN a machine translation THEN a text-to-speech to dub the series into english, which has resulted in a wildly inaccurate & often nonsensical translation (one of my favourite exchanges was "What's your name?" "Scientists"), and this makes the show like barely comprehensible (you can only understand the broad strokes of what's going on, & even that requires a few educated guesses) & it's only a remotely tenable medium (lol) because we have a russophone in the room watching the original version on a separate screen and speaking up periodically to clarify the mistranslations, but on the other hand it's also like riotously hilarious, like the translation just makes people start saying death threats or talk about aliens apropos of nothing. anyway what im building up to is that theres one particular challenge im completely unable to stop thinking about, which is that the contestants were asked to like Use Their Psychic Powers to "Solve" the death of kurt cobain (it's about as tasteful as youd imagine lol) but like. the tts dub voices & accompanying subs keep saying it as. Kurtka Bane. & on one occasion Courtocabina

i was at an event last night in california and i went to the bar to order wine bc wine was like, a thing, and i looked at the menu and saw i was completely out of my depth bc idk any wine names, so i turned to my right and there was a man in a gorgeous suit standing at the bar beside me and i said “do you know anything about wine?” and he said “a little, yes!” i told him i liked white and dry wines and asked if he’d order for me. he asked the server for two glasses and had one poured for each of us and then he clinked his glass on mine but he didn’t take a sip, he just watched me taste mine and then he asked what i thought and i said “it’s pretty good, but like i said, i wouldn’t know.” he laughed and told me to have a good time & i walked away. fifteen minutes later i found out he’s the winemaker.

Btw you can choose where you race to and from in Versus mode, meaning that so long as everyone in the group is on the same page, you can just make your own custom Grand Prixs.

my mythology pet peeve is when someone describes a scenario in which they keep nearly getting something and then having it snatched away, and everyone's like "one must imagine sisyphus" no!!! one must imagine TANTALUS!!! sisyphus = being made to perform a pointless, aggravating task over and over without ever making any progress. tantalus = being offered a glorious reward only for it to vanish as soon as you reach for it. they are NOT the same

"intermission" is a pretty good name for the stretches of road between courses in mario kart world, like it's both an intermission in the sense of a break between races and literally "inter-mission" in the sense that it's between two "missions".
but really since an individual race track is a "course" not a "mission" it should be called an
