It’s definitely easier to find weird stuff with all the streaming services. But I don’t often look for stuff, and back then the good stuff found me. I’ll occasionally even look at what’s trending now to try and find something interesting, but I rarely see anything.
Either way, it’s not just my opinion, it can be verified empirically, there is way less variety in popular music these days. I even remember Vsauce had a video about that. And it applies to other mediums as well. All big budget movies are generic. All AAA games are either live service or Assassins’s Creed but Vikings/Hackers/Jedi/etc. And by “all” I mean “most”, of course. If you want the good stuff you either go indie or retro.
I didn’t say it wasn’t formulaic, I said it wasn’t AS “formulaic”. Back then popular music still had much more variety, nowadays whatever flows to the top is much more same-y, and you gotta dig deeper for the interesting stuff.
I’ve got good news for you, it’s in top 5 best animated TV shows of all time, pretty much on every website that has rankings, and sits at 9.3/10 rating on IMDB with 410k votes. A lot of people appreciate it very much.
Mid-2000s were also kinda nice. We got relatively capable pocket computing devices. Proper 3D games. Avatar: The Last Airbender. Music was not yet so… algorithmic.
Kinda downhill from there, though, ngl.
If you play on a relatively borderless board you go for a string of 5 x or o, not 3.
What/whom have the wolves been eating this whole time?
Sorry that I neglected your comment, but my response to the neighboring comment applies here as well.
I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it’s definitely not as “backhanded” as the other one. In fact, that “compliment”, especially in the context of the meme, implies they didn’t realize the person is transgender until it was somehow pointed out explicitly, because of the whole “wow, you’re trans?” part.
I kinda see your point, but I think context is important here. For many trans people, part of transitioning includes working toward presenting as their identified gender, and that process can take time and effort. So when someone says “you look good for a trans man/woman”, in a clumsy way, it might be meant as recognition of that effort, like saying, “you look exactly how you hoped to". Which is completely different from automatically assuming that all women are stupid for being women.
Isn’t this about “you look good for a trans man/woman”?
“You’re smart for a woman” is just straight up sexist and demeaning, while the former “compliment”, maybe not as flattering to some as the giver intends, does not imply any prejudice.
Take into account that I have my linear algebra exam in a week and I merely hope to get a passing grade, but apparently, in the very least they are useful for solving systems of equations using very simple algorithm-based operations.
Electromagnets engage when you release the mouse.
I can usually see those double perspective illusions. Not here, it’s just too obviously right side up to me.
But these are all clearly right side up…
Is this an illusion post or a troll post? Genuine question.

I accidentally responded to your other comment in a different thread.
Depends on what you use to emulate and how much you want to hurt the device.
I usually emulate using RetroArch and it got all the CRT shaders you might want. Unless you get really into it. Look for CRT shaders with words “hylian glow”, geom and royale. There even exist some advanced shaders for high refresh rate monitors that try to emulate CRT beam.You can also check out Retro Crisis on YouTube to get started.
That’s not just scaliness but a full-on CRT shader with phosphor glow and stuff 👌
I would argue it’s the whole point of the joke, so it’s the entire part. Which is trivially the best, I’ll give you that.
