Every single one of these Disney Parks app icons would benefit from that Disney banner going away. Every one of these wants to be composed differently (bigger, more centered) with the spire of the castle reaching somewhere that Disney banner currently occupies.

Is it actually possible to use social media to share feelings and not be judged for them? To express unhappiness or something unpleasant? Is it alright to express yourself publicly in a venue where you subject yourself to the world like that?

Is it possible to be vulnerable in a place like this? Or do people not want that? I kinda get the sense that they don’t.

I DON’T want Activity Monitor on my phone but I DO want to know what’s causing things like severe battery drain or overheating when those sorts of things happen.

Oh, sure, “You can’t trust Wikipedia because ‘anyone can edit it,’” but let’s not think critically about trusting whatever ChatGPT says.

I think the thing I’ve learned the most from making LMNT is shipping things I know aren’t perfect. Knowing I will come back and revisit it gives me the power to just ship the damn thing.

Hey Star Wars music nerds— I just put this page online, which has all my custom album art for Star Wars music.
https://lmnt.me/media-art/star-wars.html
It has almost “everything.” Notable things missing, that I will add some day:
• For your Consideration albums
• some diegetic things like Galactic Starcruiser, Gaya, Galactic Galactic Skylanes (from Jedi Survivor)
• theme park things like Star Tours, Galaxy’s Edge
• video games
But all the films and TV shows that have soundtracks have custom art on this page!

DisneySea sets a high bar and I feel like these snacks and drinks are just par.
None of them seem like things they would not otherwise at one point offer as normal limited edition items.
Are my expectations too high? These are also at existing establishments in the park, rather than new temporary food carts like at EPCOT and DCA. Which means it is not increasing capacity, it is just putting additional stress on the already-busy food situation at the park.

So Food & Wine Festival at EPCOT is about bringing some more worldwide things to Americans. And that's great!
When California Adventure started doing it, they took cues from diverse Californian cuisine.
But the Tokyo DisneySea Food & Wine Festival, I gotta say... the lineup looks like “Tokyo DisneySea presents... Tokyo DisneySea-style snacks!”
Like we already get that idea all the time. These menu items don’t seem to scratch the itch the EPCOT and DCA F&W Festivals do.

If you're ranking Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain, what order do you put them in? Which is the strongest? Which is the weakest? Pick whatever version of each you want, I don’t care what region they’re from.

I think the same thing happened to email too. It all used to be unserious. But now, I get all sorts of official and important communication through email, like about my taxes or doctor appointments. So now all the things that don't seem as important as those just end up getting ignored.
Anyone else feel this way? Just me?

I am super-duper sensitive to notifications on my devices. What once seemed fine is now incredibly trivial (and therefore annoying to me).
Perhaps this started as soon as iPhone became more of a serious product, with Health, Home, and Wallet. Those notifications feel very important. And so the context of seeing very important notifications adjacent to very trivial ones make me bothered to see the trivial ones in the same space.
