I once attended a money management class and the instructor began by asking how frequently you get your haircut. One guy said twice a week, and we all laughed and looked at him, and he was confused as to why this was amusing.

His hair wasn't fancy or anything. It was buzzed as far as I could tell but I guess he needed it to always be at exactly that length.

e: fuckin awful snipe, hey here's credburn's boring rear end anecdote

Facebook has this habit of spamming me with streamer ads, and after about a dozen "this is irrelevant to me" clicks, they finally go away. Then, whoops I looked up something about Yakuza, it seems like this guy changed his mind about streamers! Ad blitz!

Does he have to book an appointment before he travels back to 1995?

I wish I still had hair. My friend is a hairstylist and even though she charged twice as much as my former barber I'd get compliments from complete strangers the day of. There's no confidence boost like that.

And the AI voice is actually more listenable. The dude is a professional radio host. The only reason he's on the air is because of how heavily subsidized he is, a few years ago I think open secrets had the figure, like 90% of his ad buy came from Koch affiliated stuff. He's totally on wingnut welfare.

Probably nobody cares, but the @NBC chimes don’t match the sequence of those three tones in the actual sound spectrum. Just sayin’.

The "nerd emoji" ( 🤓 ) may seem to represent a gawky human being in glasses who is socially inept, possibly uncomfortable, awkward, or obnoxious. In short, a broad archetype, rather than a specific person. But did you know that scientifically speaking, it is actually a portrait of Neil deGrasse Tyson?

He sounds literally like a human vermin, he would never be able to get a job as an announcer at a real radio station like ever.

Yeah, he's been like that for years. It's like he watched Big Bang Theory and decided he should act more like Sheldon (with some early seasons Wolowitz thrown in too)

You can use the google authenticator app, and probably other ones. I just switched because while I know twitter is dying I don't want to miss it's last breath.

I don't hate him. He was good as the host of Cosmos, although I recognize that's probably just due to the writers. I guess I'm a bit disappointed in him, for being a guy who started on the path to becoming the next Carl Sagan, but biffed it by being too online.

Actually this is now making me wonder how Sagan would have handled social media, and I don't want to go down that road.

EDIT: What's worse than meeting your heroes (or in this case, following them on Twitter)? Imagining how your dead heroes would have been on Twitter if they'd lived to see it.

I saw him give a presentation live on stage a few years ago and he was funny, engaging and interesting, basically the polar opposite of his social media persona of “joyless wet blanket”. He just needs a camera in his face at all times and to be kept away from Twitter.

My first experience with him was Cosmos, which I liked, and it has been weird to see the goodwill I had toward him eroded away every time I see him comment on something since then.
