  • The Bible as a Manga series by non-Christians or Christians with no need to soap it over. Raw and gritty in the way it was originally described. Old Testament level action stories.

    So people strangely know the entire Bible without a hint of religion being demanded. Post-theology, post-religion in a way that people might understand the idea of an egalitarian world coming out of an absolute quagmire.


  • I paid for Lynda.com, and it could have easily taken in more business if YouTube wasn’t working so hard for Google ads. There are a lot of paid (and free) services that suffer because of YouTubes ad-money business model.

    Netflix could use the extra business. There are plenty of services failing to thrive while YouTube exists. Peertube would be wide open if YouTube went the way of most of Google’s stable of apps. PeerTube is wide open even if YouTube doesn’t go away anyway.

    People genuinely hate ads. It’s a high degree of enshitification. YouTube could divide into paid content and free content in a simple Freemium model.

    Or, add third tier with ads, which any user can opt out of in the same way contributers can. I’d be happy to click subscribe on an ad free experience with less content available to me.

    Or, add an option for a couple of free tier items per month, week, or day. Like Medium’s business model.

    It’s not hard to stop sucking!











  • I bought the best bamboo pillow I could find and haven’t looked back. All the pillow problems I ever had just disappeared. I hate going anywhere without it.

    Quitting drinking was a bummer. But mainly because most of the people I’m drawn to are sociopathic alcoholics. I don’t know if I hate the game or the player anymore :(






  • The biggest problem being that no amount of diplomacy will ever matter. ASEAN believing diplomacy will work is either being an accomplice or a joke.

    There’s nothing said here means anything but business as usual for an ongoing military onslaught in Myanmar.

    ASEAN stands in the way of any regional condemnation that means anything actionable to the people of Myanmar. Diplomacy, fuck! What a joke! ASEAN is just a hegemony manager.
