Your article "Unconventional Wisdom" is relatable and thought provoking and does a good job at showing how one’s passion can be easily undermined by environmental politics- power struggle is inherent in our culture...so your piece has a universal application..applies to any context. Fantastic write! I’m adding you to my favorites page.

i think another big part of the struggle is just how complicated things have gotten - every domain is blanketed by an overwhelming array of rules, regulations, permits, bureaucracy in general, and it's easily paralyzing if you don't have the capacity to handle it, like enough money to hire departments full of lawyers and other specialists

I organize library events for a living, so I feel the pain of so much of this and at the same time am grateful I've never had to use an event to turn a profit.

Extremely entertaining writing about something totally inconsequential to my life, as per usual. I'm glad I waste my time on your website.

even trying to organize casual get-togethers with a bunch of friends can be tough sometimes...

"https://suboptimalism.neocities.org/writings/character" i kind of know what you mean, but it's a bit harsh to say "vtubers are to fake simulate dating an anime girl" as someone who is kind of a vtuber themself. it is LITERALLY just using an animated avatar of yourself and streaming. again, i think you're trying to just talk about hololive and nijisanji, but i still think it's a bit rude :(

yeah, the social dynamics of streaming are vastly different at scale and i was mainly talking about the biggest vtubers, though i think it is fair to generalize to them because that's where the vast majority of viewer-hours are spent.

i think the main problem is that the same word (streaming/vtubing) is used to refer to what might as well be two completely different means of social interaction, depending on the audience size

a stream with a very small audience is similar to hanging out on the couch with the fellas while one person plays a video game on the tv, a stream with a very large audience is more like attending a concert or sports game

i think the reason some people hate js is honestly because its complex...and can be challenging for newcomers to grasp right away as compared to html/ css but also there are different libraries for routine functions in js...which can be overwhelming...and seems to be more reasonable as to why some people hate it...interesting read

i recall seeing a lot of techy people dunking on js... especially the "Internet Privacy Guys" always had some vague complaints about privacy or security issues or something... there were also memes people made about wacky javascript equality operator ('==' and '===') behavior. overall i think it gets a bad rep among tech people because it's associated with web dev, the lowest status development work.

I'm not sure how well regarded Angel Beats! is nowadays, but it was the Ultimate show for an anime lover in 2010. it really had everything: a ridiculous premise, goofy highschool antics, original j-rock music, stylish action, extreme melodrama, 2 different girls... + a weird rocker guy with a faux-English catchphrase

i think it's largely forgotten now, i haven't seen anyone mention it in years, the only reason i was able to write about it was because i stumbled upon the OP song in a rhythm game recently and that unlocked memories. however, i do think it's more evidence for my "bad anime used to be better" theory (alternatively: "bad anime isn't as good anymore")
