this is one of the great insights of photography and we can all apply it. no one gives a shit about another picture of the leaning tower of pisa in your photo album. its the weird, candid, accidental shots that are most interesting and enduring. but its easy to not grasp that in the moment - the tower is what you're there to see, and its stunning, so of course it's what you photograph. those spaces in between though, like that iphone video, are what secretly transcend

i can't even get youtube to load with ublock.. theres a years old thread with hundreds of comments on the github -- what are people actually using today to preserve their sanity on youtube?

edit: the issue with ublock is the black screen - sometimes the video loads after 10 or so seconds, sometimes it doesnt. i dont consider hiding the ad while still having to wait around for it to finsish playing behind an overlay the same as "blocking" :|

image generation kind of reminds me of video games or any cgi in general.. the progress is undeniable, and yet with every milestone it seems the last gap to "photorealism" is infinitely wide

modzu — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 15:53:54 +0000

then why do poor people shop there? is the idea dollar general is strategically misleading them to see prices advertised lower than a normal supermarket but in fact they are higher? i didn't think the article was making that strong of a claim at all. it seemed more like, operations are minimal and staffing short (which in theory enables lower prices) and they linked the staffing issue with simply just not being on top of updating price changes on the shelves

what's the point of this hit piece? isnt that frying pan with a sticker price of $10 and rung up at $12 still $50 anywhere else?
