she/her.

I'd give nearly anything to share a meal/drink/joint with Hidetaka Miyazaki.

Estoy aprendiendo español. Me encantaría practicarlo contigo (y inglés, si necesitas ayudar también).

  • Do languages that use non-Latin alphabets (Asian, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew) have upper and lower case letters? What about serif or sans-serif? How do they show emphasis?

    Jump

  • interesting! I love learning about the different kinds of logic languages use. visually, Thai is one of my favorite languages (and Thailand has my favorite cuisine, too)!

  • What are some songs that make you feel so good that you're downright /scared/ to listen to a band's other music, for fear of being let down?

  • Your question is a little unclear.

    If you're talking about a debate, or needing to approach someone about something, it's best to go in as prepared as possible and address any new arguments as they come.

    However, the other person has to feel like they're being heard, understood, and (often) validated in some form—even if it's not completely genuine—if there is ever a chance of getting them to change their mind.

    If this is a personal (or professional) conflict, though, be careful. To some people, it doesn't matter what you say or how you say it, even if they're in the wrong.

  • What is it about humans when society rewards individuals with the power of millions they want to use it to fuck up society?

    Jump

  • I don't necessarily believe that this trait is inherent to humankind; instead, I think it's a product of cultures that value things like power and hyperindividualism.

    I do believe that there will always be (insecure) people who seek some level of power and/or wealth without regard for others. Whether or not they succeed would—I assume—depend on how that society views authority/skepticism/community/ect; if allowed, that would nudge society a little bit in that direction. And so on.

    Sadly, , some governments and corporations have spent millenia aquiring and wielding their vast power and wealth to cripple and exploit other societies that they can benefit from without too much pushback. Which obviously ravages those cultures, too, and often by design.

    So... it's a little hard to know for certain what is truly in our nature.

  • Would people judge me if I ordered a boppy nursing pillow despite not having children and never planing on having children?

    Jump

  • sure, some people would, but the opinions of the kinds of people who'd be judgemental over something as trivial as a goddamn pillow really aren't worth much imo.

  • How do people manage to actually get jobs through online applications (US citizen here)?

    Jump

  • Have you had anyone take a look at your resume? When was the last time you reviewed it? Is it at least somewhat visually appealing? How long is it?

    Unfortunately, it may be a good idea to "customize" each submission by incorporating keywords from the actual listing into your resume.

    I'm not the one to give advice on this, really, but I've heard of people having a lot of success with networking and reaching out directly to recruiters/managers/ect.

  • Had a dream about drinking alcohol again and feeling like shit. Why is this happening to me? I hate drinking alcohol. I don't know why my dreams keep punishing me.

    Jump

  • that really sucks. :( it might be worthwhile to talk to a doctor about this then, if you haven't already. Maybe you would benefit from a sleep study.

    Jump

  • idk... the fact that you were triggered enough by their post to add this comment certainly says a lot about how "soft" you are. :) the most sensitive people I've ever met have been boomers, personally.

    when did OP mention their age, by the way?

    Jump

  • if not trauma, perhaps shame? subconscious or otherwise. I mean, "torment" is a pretty extreme way to describe it.

    it sounds like your discomfort might be beyond the kind of discomfort one gets by simply being under the influence of a substance (though tbh, I can't really relate lol).

    unless it's really affecting your life, I wouldn't overthink it too much. Plenty of people have recurring unpleasant dreams/nightmares.

  • How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?

    Jump

  • yeah, I've been wondering how much I should be sharing about my political opinions now... and a little concerned about my 15+ years of social media history.

  • What is the most infuriating "is not a big deal" you have ever heard?

    Jump

  • I wish. lol. no, I just became an adult.

  • What's a craving or longing you have that would sound oddly specific to anyone else?

    Jump

  • I can definitely understand why someone would feel so nostalgic about them, as a fellow commie. personally, I really enjoyed our mall's general vibe around Christmastime especially. I associate them with a more carefree time, as well.

    As for me, I really miss acting. was in musicals and drama/humor speech competitions all 4 years of high school, and even went to states/nationals for the latter, then acting classes in college. it's such a satisfying creative outlet for me.

    I suppose I could start doing it again now, but the time investment would be so much more significant than it was when I was in school, and I cant help but think that my time would be better spent toward something more "productive".

    also, the daycare I went to as a little kid used to serve us soy sauce flavored ramen with mashed potatoes (including butter/milk). so healthy! 😬 I really loved it, though, as long as the noodles weren't overcooked. I could go for some now.

  • What is the most infuriating "is not a big deal" you have ever heard?

    Jump

  • I also feel particularly passionate about this, as felt totally dismissed by nearly every adult in my life as a kid. That shit feels so defeating and isolating. it can seriously fuck you up.

  • I am the eggman

    Jump

  • fun fact! you can use aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) as an egg replacer in baking (among other things). you could even make some hummus at the same time

  • YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.

    Jump

  • nice deflect. my actual point still stands, though.

    This is getting bad. Like, really really bad.

    Jump

  • oh look! here's yet another person who is blabbering about fascism despite the fact that they obviously don't even know what it is.

    Fascism is a far right-wing ideology. Like, literally always. By definition.

    Jump

  • TIL posting/having conversations about a characteristic of one country implies that you believe that no other countries have that same characteristic.

    While I'm sure the fact that the dominance of US news and culture on the internet is probably really frustrating for non-Americans, it's pretty natural for Americans (or anyone, really) to talk about our own country and experiences... especially while having to grapple with how things have been escalating here. You're certainly free to share your own experiences.

  • The victim complex of so many white people is truly fucking wild.

    Are you not already buying food anyway? No one is forcing you to do anything. But people are going to call you out for being so uninterested having an equitable society.
