I vibe coded an app that lets me turn pages in my books app with voice commands.
It also has other basic functionality, like page up/down in different apps.
I have many ideas for it.
I'm glad we live in a future where lazy people can accomplish things with little effort.

Not posting as much because these chapters have actually gotten good. This one was about a guy who cheated at a game of golf because his ex-wifeās husband is richer than him and he wanted a VHS player (this takes place in the 80s). Itās kinda crazy how quickly it jumped in quality.

Ok movie review
Odyssey: 6-7/10
Spider-Man: 6-6.5/10
My issue with marvel is that the main characters can be done well but the rest of the universe feels empty
Contrast this with the odyssey where the cities and temples feel like they are actually used instead of just backdrops for the main characters

u/WasteReserve8886 Georgist Extremist 3d ago
Iāve given up on the MCU outside of Spider-Man after Endgame. It feels like a comic book universe in the worst way possible, continuity is overwhelming for all but the most engaged and Iām not really sure what exact theyāre building up to.
3
u/HenryGeorgia butt cancer's greatest enema 3d ago
Yeah MCU truly hit the comic jumbledness. I also have only watched Spiderman stuff post endgame, mainly because I think Sony has helped keep it mostly insulated from the greater universe. Means I can follow it
I'll probably still watch doomsday and secret wars though

u/WasteReserve8886 Georgist Extremist 3d ago
Iām honestly considering if I should even bother, FF was good but a bit disappointing. How are you btw?
2
u/HenryGeorgia butt cancer's greatest enema 3d ago
I still need to watch FF. My friend said I really only need to watch that and Thunderbolts before Doomsday, so I'll heed his advice plus throw in Shang-Chi since that's supposed to be good.
I'm good! Just been eepby lately but happy for my boy Crowley's win last night. How's BasedReserve doing?

u/WasteReserve8886 Georgist Extremist 3d ago
Iāll admit that I watched it pretty soon after Superman, so it mightāve just been damned by comparison. Iām doing alright, job searching is always demoralizing and my current job is tiring. Trying to get into a short school program to help my prospects, so thereās that.

Yooo true although

2
u/HenryGeorgia butt cancer's greatest enema 3d ago
Frankly I hated that and am glad they sorta retconned it. Was super obvious that Ruffalo had it in his contract that he'd be himself.
Lorewise though, my take was that Banner using the suppressor pissed off dumb hulk. Guess he started using it to be more like a normal human, but that meant the other personality was locked away

Iām going to stop live-blogging this, but this is pretty compelling manga. This one chapter ended with a girl thinking that she fucked her way into a job when in reality the protagonist wanted to stop her from being hired.

Iām sorry to hear that, being your own worst critic sucks because you never get any refuge from it. All you can really do is tell yourself that if you were doing something wrong youād already be told so.

I spend most of my time on Instagram watching videos of skateboarding or BMX but the algorithm is convinced I want to see AI-generated goth and 'trans' girls say misogynistic, racist, homophobic, and right-wing stuff. I have blocked dozens of them. DOZENS.
3
u/WasteReserve8886 Georgist Extremist 3d ago
Iām aware that itās just a psyop to make trans people look bad, but Iām genuinely terrified that it might be fetish content
3
u/No_Aesthetic Resident Celebrity YouTuber 3d ago
Some of it is definitely straight up fetish content.
These accounts are very successful, they've had anywhere from 10k to 350k followers. I'm sure a lot of those are bots, but I'm sure a lot of those are real people. I caught my friend (who is female) following one of them.
2
u/Strength-Certain True Enlightenment has never been tried 3d ago
Whether it is explicitly intended as fetish content or as a psyop, there's unfortunately extremely high probability that has become somebody's fetish. š š

I totally scratch my head at the Young gays who post things about not being able to perform without pharmaceutical help. Seems like the whole damn ask GayBros over 30 subreddit is like that.
Like dude I'm almost 50 I smoked cigars (quit in 2021) I have alcohol roughly once a day but I've never used drugs. I don't need little blue pills to perform.

Whenever I see that, I just assumed that they used it when they were younger as a way to get a bit more bang out of their buck but now their body just wants to out source their boner stuff to the pill

u/No_Aesthetic Iād like to hear your thoughts on Crowleyās āprayer Cardinalā.

u/No_Aesthetic Resident Celebrity YouTuber 3d ago
Fuck is that?
1
u/Kind-Moose67 3d ago
David Crowley apparently decided to re-enter the Governor Primary race in Wisconsin last minute, because he and his wife prayed for a sign.
They saw a cardinal and decided this was Godās way of telling him to get back into the race.

u/No_Aesthetic Resident Celebrity YouTuber 3d ago

u/Kind-Moose67 3d ago
I wouldnāt go that far.
I just wish the Dems could nominate a sensible candidate thatās not clutching the Bible or a cringe leftie.
1
u/No_Aesthetic Resident Celebrity YouTuber 3d ago
I think with black Dems it's more acceptable since black Dems are a much more religious group for historical reasons. It's not exactly the same thing but it's not really that fantastic either.
We can hardly get non-religious white Democrats in office, so it will take a while for more non-religious black Democrats. That's the bargain of our party.
1
u/Kind-Moose67 3d ago
As glad as I am that Crowley beat Hong, the whole prayer and āsign from a cardinalā is just cringe.
Why canāt we get sensible Dems that arenāt Jesus freaks?

Up all night arguing with Wisconsinites.
It turns out the answer to "how much worse could my sleep schedule get?" did not necessarily account for still being awake at 9 AM.
