Wait. In Japan they name the blocks, not the streets in between??

Thank you for so vividly elaborating on those addictive functions of which I'm liminally aware, but usually indifferent. I know that and how I'm manipulated on a certain site, but I'm far too cavalier in concern of those moderated effects.
Open thread: What do you think about dark humor?

I find that those who are the most outraged by dark humour, and insist that it's "insulting" to people who are struggling, have in fact never struggled. People who experience hardship tend to enjoy dark humour because it helps them cope.

If it's funny, I like it; if it's abashingly edgy, I don't. It saved my life once.

90% of the people doing it are the types who failed at any other type of humor on account of having no talent for the craft.

As societies become more and more cynical, nihilistic, apathetic and hopeless, the larger the target audience and the lower the barrier of entry becomes... Apart from all those outside factors, I like it as much as any other type of humor.
I'd certainly love to comment to THRICEGREAT that I think it's cool that they know what fizzbuzz is and that they wrote a fizzbuzz program.

Sometimes you can feel the magick swirling madly in the air with such intensity that it drowns out most everything else. Today is one of those days.

>striking. - Isn't it?? I remember seeing French people of various shapes and sizes crowding around and singing hymns. I remember that some of them weren't Christian, for some reason. I thought, I guess people can still come together when it counts.

Reconstruction of Notre Dame has been as impressive for its craftsmanship as for its expedition. Thanks for yet another reminder that my culture's waxed progressively, clownishly autoparodic since the late '40s.

I made a horror short in GTA 5. It has brief copyrighted music so some countries maybe can't see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NCA60Fw8-8

We may be the only generation of humans to ever live who can enjoy low-poly renders like PS1 or N64 graphics. They have a retro appeal to us. Will they always have appeal, or will they just seem ugly?

to me it's like good writing or some art movements, the idea of doing more with less will always have at least a niche over excessive word counts or graphical detail
