  • I use it 100% of the time when the rules of traffic prompts me to use it.

    Within a small single-lane housing area: I blink.

    When exiting my driveway and the road reaches a dead end 100 meters in the one direction, so it should be very obvious which way I’ll go: I blink.

    The roundabout in town which is so tiny that it looks more like an intersection, and when heading straight through it: I blink.

    It’s so much better to have a habit of blinking and making unambiguous signals than to forget it. It helps with the flow of traffic and probably lets everyone get where they need to go quicker.







  • I was in Spain, waiting outside a tournament venue for Magic: The Gathering. Two guys were talking, presumably in Spanish. I knew no spanish, but I could tell the one guy was really excited, almost choking back a laugh while speaking quickly and loudly before he held out his hand vertically, swung it left and right like a table tennis paddle while loudly exclaiming “RAGARAGARAGARAGA”.

    The other guy was listening closely with a completely unfazed expression.

    Their conversation continued.

    At that point, I started to wonder: what were they talking about? What kind of conversation could lead to that motion and that complimentary sound to be adequate? Why was the other guy seemingly so unamused when the first guy was so excited?

    This happened probably around 10 years ago, and it bothers me to this day. I will never know for sure, of course, but I have yet to think of a single topic which could reasonably prompt that interaction.





  • As a father of a 8 month old baby, I have barely touched any of my gaming systems for the past year. Games need to be quickly accessible and possible to quit at any time for me to play. So mobile gaming is basically where I’m at.

    Slay The Spire works perfectly well for Android. I’ve been playing that a ton.

    Pokémon TCG Pocket is weirdly fun. Even though it’s encouraging microtransactions and subscriptions, it’s very much playable without making a single transaction. The TCG is decently interesting, though not without flaws. It’s still in a very early stage, so I’m interested to see how the game grows.



  • Wow! I have not seen that standup routine or heard anyone mention those thoughts before. I’m very glad that I am not alone with having that problematic idea pop into my head.

    And I - just like Daniel Fernandes - should clarify that I do not under any circumstance attempt to white wash Hitler. It’s merely a stray thought which makes a crazy plot line.

    When you ask people what they would do if they had a time machine, a lot of them would mention “go back in time and kill Hitler”. But I’ve been having this thought lately - and I know it’s deeply problematic and inconsistent - but what if Hitler actually was from the future and decided to travel back in time to prevent the genocide that Israel is currently executing.
