Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

Ready to make the comics. Saturday morning, the best moment of the week. A distinct energy. The smell of a bakery and the birds singing their tango.

This is so peak. I also thought they were little guys with baseball bats lmfaooo

Dave Bulmer @demontomatodave.bsky.social · 19h

I already thought these looked like cool little guys before I saw what their name is

I think they're garlic grinders or something, but they affix to the table and you turn a handle to either rotate a drum in the front or grind whatever's in a sort of basin they've got - which means they all have wide bases, thin forward-leaning necks and robot heads with different kinds of mouth. The name for all of these is given as "SPONG"

I felt very proud of myself when I won that first match. Even if it was against robots. I won against humans one time also! That's when I got baiman! Baiman is like a certain number of points.

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 6h

Also the characters actually slam down the tiles which is really satisfying.

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 6h

Oh yeah you can also watch the top ranked matches and rewatch your own matches. It has stats and everything if you are really into it like that. That art is also better than that other game and they have guy characters, girl characters, and animal characters.

By the way, do not play riichi city. That game has CP. Just play mahjong soul. Its a normal game.

1

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 6h

Riichi is a substyle of mahjong from japan. There's also chinese style and other styles. But those styles don't have a cute anime game haha!

1

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 6h

It's called Mahjong Soul. They have adventure mode in single player. They have various fun modes that i havent tried. They also have casual, ranked, and competetive. Also they have the robot room for practice.

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 6h

This game has no plot so the gacha is just for cosmetics while you are playi g mahjong. If you really are passionate about mahjong or just want to learn its a good game. But don't get discouraged. Just try the lessons again and again. You will get it.

1

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 6h

So far I can do the beginner yaku "Riichi"! It's kind of like Go Fish. I still don't understand points system. And... I'm slow at reading the tiles.

1

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 6h

I really wanted to learn this game and so I like this little anime themed game it makes it more appealing. I really suck at board games. But I love stuff like solitaire and chess. Mahjong is definitely not as varied as Goh and faster to learn.

1

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 6h

This game is literally just japanese style Riichi mahjong. And it took me like a day to learn and win one round. I did it!!! And one time I got Baiman!!!! Yerrr. Time to go make friends with the old people.

This is just like such a huge problem in the world, imo. It's common to hear this idea from like your parents or something but it comes from fear of retaliation for knowing your worth and being confident and defending your self-respect. This idea is one of my biggest pet peeves. It's everywhere!

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Seth. @xxsethxx.bsky.social · 5d

This is why I always say I hate gratitude. It's always expected of me in a negative way. There are times for real gratitude and then there's lowering your head to not seem so confident. I basically hate when people expect me to be humble for no fkn reason. And they seriously don't like that.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...
