It lets me cut out any unnecessary credits or repetitive intros, and I have a little fun with commercial breaks sometimes. Once I put the Heinz automato robot video into the commercial break of a Mega Man cartoon. That got a big laugh.
It’s the highlight of my week. It’s great to have culture in common with my kid and to get each others references. I also like to cook big breakfasts that day, lots of waffles, bellinis, fancy stuff, fresh fruits. Real bougie with it.
I thought I might be playing it loose applying it to the case of private equity in the creative arts, but it feels right
All the best to those who counsel prudence here, all I have is an anecdote. I had a major falling out with my mom at that age, moved out with no plan. Luckily my girlfriend’s parents took me in.
It was difficult for them, and awkward, and at that age I was in hindsight a pain in the ass, but I got to spend time with a family that has real values, rituals, culture, and bonds. I got to spend time learning a little more about what kind of person I want to become.
I didn’t stay with the girl, but I owe at least bit of everything I’ve achieved in the decades since to the kindness her parents showed me. I still email them, twenty years later. I’d be a runt if I ever tried to talk anyone out of that kindness.
I curate about 90 cartoons and almost as many indie animation channels to create a weekly block of Saturday morning cartoon programming for my wife and kid.
I edit it together in kdenlive from files on my media server, and we stream it to my mini projector each weekend. Been going over a year now, only missing weeks when we’re traveling. I would love to be able to share it with a wider audience, but I’m still not sure how, given it’s all pirated.
When I find out a thing I like is the preferred option of someone whose niche fixation is that type of thing, it gives me life.
All I really want from the internet is to have a council of difficult nerds telling me what all the best shit is so I can become the perfect being.
I’m never leaving Lemmy lmao
Bad money chases out good, they say.
Nothing’s spookier than fear mongering
It takes two to tango, they say. Corporations have a lot more wallet to vote with, as it were - but we are not powerless or blameless when we support them out of complacency.
Oneiro-not today, Satan
Can I be lazy and not write it all out?
Not all of it is for my kid, not all of it is even very good, but it’s a good bit of variety.
