Millennial (sorry) with AuDHD (not sorry). Jungle Asian. A volleyball anime saved my life, a guy with a giant duck thing made it better; both made me cringe af. Red panda on the other place. Probably your only Melanau friend.

We've been calling them 'words.'
But here's the thing: that's not quite tadashii.
A kotoba isn't a word.
They're something else entirely-
a role unique to Japanese gengo.
And there's no eigo no kotoba that surus it seigi.
So from ima on, wareware tsukau the hontou no kotoba: kotoba.

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Idk if it's partially the 'tism in me but isn't the research the best part??? Why relinquish the fun to a world-killer machine that gets the facts wrong anyway?
RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

You literally can't do research using that fucking thing because it lies to you, constantly, and unless you're a subject-matter expert you won't know when it's lying
And if you ARE an expert you don't need it

These people have never went to "just do quick research" only to end up down an wikipedia/internet rabbit hole and it clearly shows.
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Sometimes I think about how wide a variety of food the average Malaysian gets introduced to from a really early age. There's a lot that isn't great about growing up here (especially if you grow up anywhere outside of the upper class), but I genuinely believe our food saves us.

I need to collect images to practice urban sketching. Please reply with photos of very fancy street and building scenes you've taken photos of, and also when you accidentally took a photo of a light pole 🤣
I've made this public so you can RT.
Please don't be weird 😭

Got a text at 11pm from a dentist in training asking if I could come get my teeth scaled for free tomorrow (well, today). If you haven't gone for a dental checkup in a while and have a dental school near you, it's worth seeing if they run a clinic for the graduating students to get their hours in.

Folks! I'm begging you. It is not activism to bring up American politics in random food posts.
Ok. I'm trying to be polite here, but I posted a silly little food post, and you are replying about American politics. I'm not American. I'm just eating supper 🤷♂️
The post is the silly stuff to chat about. Not putting me on the spot about politics of a country I don't live in.

I should add that since we've never seen it being driven at night or in non-residential areas, my headcanon is it has those tomyam shop LED lights and a sick sound system that he plays Sandstorm or old rock ballads on. Like this, but kei car version.

If Haikyuu took place in the mid-2010s, Keishin Ukai would be one of those guys with the really obnoxious-looking massive vapes and he would constantly be in a cloud of blueberry ice (except when he's coaching, obvs)

When Skittles had her teeth taken out, she had to have her leg partially shaved for the IV. I kept singing "Boots with the furrr WITH THE FURRR" at her for a bit, but unfortunately it all grew back so it no longer looks like a boot with the fur.

This is over a year old but I hope that everyone making art is like this. Shamelessly being cringe in the hyperfixations that bring us joy may not heal the world, but maybe it'll heal us a little bit, and that's a good start.
