it wouldn't really be "suboptimalism" if it wasn't hosted on a platform with occasional glitches...

Thank you for sharing your Neocities mechanics findings! I learned a lot and now feel less crazy about some less-than-consistent behavior I've witnessed over the past couple years. I will definitely be referring back to this in the future! :) I also loved your writing about passenger rail! I share the exact same sentiments as you outlined in that first bit of the page

Also I cackled at your "buffaloaded" article. As a native who works for a tribe that has many casinos, you really nailed our whole thing.. haha

it's a cutthroat industry too... recently read an article about a tribe trying to open an off-reservation casino near a populated area, and every other tribe that already had a casino in the area tried to block it to protect their business, though they did kind of have a point that the prospective location was very far away from that tribe's historic lands

i found the original article i read: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-09/oregon-tribe-casino-bid-sparks-furor-over-ancestral-homeland ... but while looking for it i stumbled upon another similar one: https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-07-23/the-fight-over-a-mega-casino-sparks-a-debate-about-tribal-sovereignty

Good reads; unfortunately, this is a common issue. The state of Oklahoma especially loves to infringe upon tribal sovereignty!

I've had this thought exactly, right down to the music hot take. While my attention span has taken a hit from 5 years ago I can at least manage to read a book continously for an hour if I find it interesting.

the bar is so low at this point that that's probably more than 95% of people can manage now

surprised how receptive everyone online is to the music "hot take", i buried it behind that disclaimer because when i've brought it up to people irl i always get the "omg let people enjoy things" reaction

This one made me cackle uncontrollably... also the timeline of products on their company website is absolutely batshit -- https://www.ryohin-keikaku.jp/eng/about-muji/history/ -- I LOVE 2010's product: the right angle sock
oh yes the right angle sock, it's kind of a big deal, there's a big display and poster promoting it in the store. the 2020 product on the product timeline is the "cricket cracker", which appears to be exactly what it says on the tin...
