It's 4 a.m. and I just realized that "cursory" would be a good translation of "sommaire" in the text I translated last week, but unfortunately I already delivered it to the client
I find it mildly strange that people make videos without muting the TV in the background. There's probably a small sociology study in that.

A what if map, looking at what Toronto would look like if none of the major annexations and amalgamations occurred.

I finished watching The Good Place recently, and I was thinking on a philosophical level about the last door, idly googling around the idea, no drama, just ponderings inspired by a show that wants us to ponder.

And, after a few googles, I started getting suicide prevention resources.

And I think it's a major problem that we live in a world where death is inevitable, but also you end up on a list if you start getting comfortable with that fact.

Random memory of the time my uncle wanted to show off his new car's power windows (back in the olden days when they were uncommon), but he did while I was standing outside the car.

So, from my POV...the windows open and close. Which all car windows do. I had no clue there was a magic button

Current pet peeve: restaurant takeout websites that make you search by location for your closest location rather than just choosing it from a list.

I don't need to wait for you spinning and spinning while you search my postal code when I know the exact location and address I'm looking for!

Scenario: someone posts a fairly lengthy screenshot of text in dark mode.

Is there a way for me to flip the image to light mode?

(Reason: dark mode is hard for post-head-injury brain to read)

More than one account that used to post interesting threads on twitter has now started making long-form videos instead and then when they promote their videos on masto/bsky and people reply based on the promo text, they get frustrated that people aren't watching the videos.

Maybe that's a sign that that's the wrong format for your audience??

I wish I could switch off the part of my brain that gets irritated that doing things takes a non-zero amount of time

I've been getting what appear to be 2FA texts from Facebook*. But, as far as I can tell, my Facebook account doesn't know my phone number**.

(*I don't use Facebook, but haven't deleted my account yet.

**I'm old, so my Facebook account predates the pervasiveness of using your phone number for everything)
