I have another. It's subtitles in the original language. For context: I live in germany.

I got The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on DVD at my library. No english subtitles. Got Parasite. No korean subtitles. Got Casablanca. Subtitles in 19 languages including English available.

truly never getting over the greatest loss streaming services caused: the disappearance of DVD special features. behind the scenes, bloopers, deleted scenes, commentaries, I will never forget you, I will never stop missing you.

So, something I learnt the other day. So, you know how dinosaurs supposedly can't see you if you stand still? Well that myth is based on real-life lizards/etc and how eyes in general work. So, once my dad starts infodumping, here comes some other cool information. We, humans, can in fact, also not see something unless it's moving. We fixed this by having our eyes constantly shake. And then our brain compensates for us, so we don't have to have shaky vision.

What if aliens don't have this? Like. What if they find out when one of us was looking at something in the distance, and they walk around this thing that's in front of them, and the alien is confused so they bob their head and oh, there's a thing there, but how did the human know that, and then we explain and they're like, horrified.

Humans are apex predators. They can hunt in packs. They can hunt in pairs. They can hunt on their own. They're persistance predators, which is unheard of. They get stronger when they're mad or scared. They have this thing called 'body language' which acts like a type of hivemind, even if they'll claim it isn't. And. They can see you. When you're not moving. They can still see you. If you ever find yourself in a fight against a human, for whatever reason? Run. Run as fast as you can. And hope, pray if you have a religion, that they won't follow.

Since there’s that huge heat wave that’s about to fuck up like 3/4 of the US, I’d like to stand on my soapbox for a second. I’m not a doctor, I’ve just lived somewhere with summer temps over 110 for most of my life.

Obviously, the best thing to do during a heat wave is STAY INDOORS. Of course, that’s not always possible.

Get a couple washcloths, or rags, or old shirts you don’t care about. Get them nice and damp. If you wanna get fancy with it, throw some essential oils on them. Who cares. The important thing is that they are WET. Next step, fold them into rectangles (so they hold the coldness longer!) and put them in their own zippy bag or an old grocery bag or whatever. Doesn’t matter, just don’t let them freeze in a clump. ANY TIME YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE, GRAB A FROZEN RAG. Drape it on the back of your neck. Dab yourself like a fancy Victorian lady. Do whatever helps. One of my friends keeps them in her bra. Whatever works!

Windows. They let heat in. Blackout curtains help a lot, but they’re not magic. Get a nice thick blanket (not a comforter, too heavy) or fold up some sheets. Pin or nail your blanket/sheets above your window like dorm curtains. Block that heat OUT!

HYDRATE. Everyone says it because it’s TRUE. Dehydration sucks. Heat stroke sucks more. Learn the symptoms and what to do if it happens to you or someone else. On that note…

Replenish those electrolytes! It’s gonna be hot. You’re gonna sweat a LOT. If you’re chugging water and not replenishing your electrolytes, you can actually have a heart attack. Even if you don’t have a heart attack, you can still faint (medical emergency, especially in the heat!) or best case scenario, feel like garbage. Pedialyte is nasty but it works. Sports drinks, sure whatever. Those little pouches of powder that you add? Whatever you like. If you don’t have any of those, eat something salty while you drink your water.

No tech CEO or NYT bestselling novelist will ever match the creativity of a humble French postman who decided on a whim to spend thirty-three years building a surreal, majestic palace with the bricks and mortar of his dreams.
