Isn’t that a temporary thing though, eventually that hump will pass and we’d be down to more sustainable population levels. I’d rather it happens naturally because of birth rates than because half the planet becomes unsurvivable.

That’s quite possible haha.

Yep this is the reality. I was a small business owner before when I was young and I was decent at what I did but I had no idea of the realities of running a business. I did 10 years in corporate before starting another one and it’s night and day because I now have way more business context and can breeze through all the side tasks with an understanding of how successful businesses are actually run.

That last part is tricky, after all there’s also a saying “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”, it’s a balancing act.

For example most of my business comes from repeat business customers and it’s definitely underpaid compared to what I can get in different niches, but on the other hand I get regular jobs from it. My colleagues focusing on the better paying niches are always hunting for the next gig and don’t know where the money will come from next month.

No, April is the only officially recognised dealer, you can get her number from any public bathroom stall in Berlin.

Well do you at least remember DviX?

I’d be fine with that but then I remember how people can be and I think this would lead to riots at the door.

Well I’m mostly joking but with a database you could have more than just keywords. You could tag them with any attributes (date, dominant colours, themes, size, etc etc).

That’s a good first step, but the obvious solution is to build a meme database with attributes, keywords, etc.

To play devil’s advocate last decade could mean the rolling decade e.g. 2014-2024.

I’d say these examples are different, more like Kleenex where brand names become the common term. This is more like when parents used to buy a Wii game for your “playbox station”.

That is particularly strong in France as well.

Spirited away is more about over-consumption and modern greed I’d say.

I’ve been on solid shampoo and soap for a while now, I just try random ones when the old ones are finished. It’s great I love it, takes less space in the shower, smells/feels/washes great, at this point I would not enjoy going back to bottles.

Surfshark lobbying really paying off.

You can also get the Afghan war rugs as a mouse pad lmao.

I’d have to go through a bunch of concepts about light, moving motion and photography in general but I’m sure we’d get there eventually.

Saw someone make some pretty rehousing casings so you can use vintage lenses with cinema-style housings benefits, that was pretty cool.

TLDR: dog walker got walked all over on live TV, sub then pretty much died afaik.
