Yeah, that’s fair. I guess I was thinking that if the bit is distanced from its original inspiration that that would make it feel less mean-spirited, but I can also see how doing that could end up having the opposite effect in practice.

I am aware that it’s a verbatim comment by a real person, I’m just saying that if you’re going to make it into a copypasta you might as well embellish it — it’s already been divorced from its original author.

See this sort of copypasta always works best when it’s written like the layers of an onion: peeling back the layers one by one to gradually reveal the writer’s true motives, before building itself back up into an equally ridiculous defense of those true motives. As it stands, unfortunately, this copypasta — though it has its moments — is only the pretense, the façade, the tatemae: it has no clear “crack in the mask” moment, certainly no “burst of the dam” moment, it’s setup without a punchline. Which means it’s a B rate copypasta at best.

I keep finding out about new banger emotes we have

I’m not too tech savvy so you’ll have to excuse me, but something I’ve been thinking… The impossibility of making new web browsers from scratch that can follow the huuuuge Web standard is basically because people expect to be able to do “more or less everything” right in their browsers nowadays, right? So maybe the “solution” here is to have more of a culture around doing things offline, torrenting instead of streaming, and then when doing things over the Internet, just having more specialized programs (and protocols?) instead of having an Everything Program for the Everything Protocol.

After installing and launching Geopard, I just clicked on the address bar at the top of the window, typed in my search query, and hit enter, just like I would on Firefox or Chrome or any other modern browser. Geopard’s default search engine is called TLGS (“Totally Legit” Gemini Search).

Given that FiM was loosely inspired by the stories childhood Lauren Faust came up with when playing with her own My Little Pony dolls growing up, you could argue that all of MLP G4 is company-sponsored fanfic. Doesn’t really answer whether Equestria Girls is a regular isekai or a reverse isekai when neither of the worlds are our own. (Tone indicator: I’m being silly)

Unironically installed Geopard on my laptop shortly after I saw this post. I’ve been curious about the Gemini protocol for a while.

Is My Little Pony: Equestria Girls an isekai or a reverse isekai?

I think I’ll mention “★☆SPARKLE ON RAVEN: The Life of DrillGirl☆★ Ep 1: The Perfect Perfect School Year”. It’s from a few years ago, but I first saw it this year, and that’s all that matters for the purposes of this question, right? I could certainly mention a number of other YT videos I saw this year, that were made this year; but for the most part YouTube just feels like overly short or overly long disposable one-time slop, right? By contrast, Sparkle on Raven and other “fanime” I saw this year are things I’ve actively returned to, shown others, referenced, and reflected on, so their impact on me has lasted for more than just one week.

Me making a fork of Floorp that’s literally just the exact same code verbatim but with a different name

Though in Floorp’s… :dying-inside: … defense… フロープ probably sounds at least slightly less embarrassing to monolingual Japanese ears who’d have different sound associations, more “flow” and “floor” than Floam Flubber Floop’s Fooglies.

Hell fuckin yeaaaaaah
