BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

LRP video games also got really good like, almost too good I've been alive the past 40 years almost exactly and I can't say everything has gotten worse at most I can say existing problems are exacerbated by many new things.

Medicine. Medicine has grown by leaps and bounds. You cannot introduce vaccines that crater cancer rates, cure AIDS, and cure sickle cell, and then tell me things have only gotten worse. Also: Food. To a HUGE degree. I eat what I once considered rare treats every day, now.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

well, I thought of something substantial to put into the part I'm writing now, and I'm glad... 'cause otherwise it was gonna skip to torture. no, we need a meal first

oh god, since I beat Splatoon Raiders that means I can get called for help for those last few levels with the gauntlet and maybe even the high difficulty mode

I had a dream I was in Japan and tried to speak Japanese and sucked at it :( forgot words and stuff... nothing bad happened though. I guess that's preparing me. people are nice to me and people in Japan specifically like saving face

Overheard a guy at a concert saying how he's using ai for research & the ai sited a source that hasn't been published yet, which turned out to be HIS own research. "Isn't that EERIE?" he said, "it must have scanned my computer and read my files!" Said like this was a cool thing, not an abysmal thing
