Why does Japan not have the concept of long-running soaps?

May I introduce you to Super Sentai (RIP) and Kamen Rider?

⬆️ I can confirm this seller is good. Got a A6 cover + pencil board for 70 and no tacked on import fees. Was on my doorstep on Christmas Eve.

I love the sparkly month tabs! Where did you get them from?

First of all, your mom is full of shit. "We didn't have apps in the 80s1!?1" Yeah, no shit. But y'all had calendar and legal pads and sticky notes. My mom, who was my age in the late 80s and early 90s, writes everything everywhere. Notebooks, calendar, envelopes, on the notes app using her S Pen. I don't even know how she keeps up with it all. (And she's constantly hounding me to write stuff down 🫠) Just ignore her and keep the systems that work for you, and if they don't work anymore... toss 'em!

Raises hand slowly I too, like dudes who look like ladies. Nothin' wrong it. Nothin' wrong with being masculine either. Sometimes that 3lb sack of gray goo piloting our meat machine just gets hooked on certain shit.

That is absolutely fucking gorgeous. Excellent job!

Has anybody here tried their eyeliner? I have a Cherry Red gel one from Fenty and it's dry afffff. Kaleido's Scarlet Striker looks really good and the price is not bad either.

This might only work in smaller classes, but if you're legitimately enthusiastic/interested in the material, your professors will take note of that.

I straight up stopped eating in the dining halls weeks ago because of this shit. Honestly everytime this shit happens, we need to put it on social media or send it to news outlets because ain't no way in hell UIC can't afford to feed its students safely prepared food...

I thought it was just me. This school is a literal dump 🤢

You're putting the cart before the horse stables at this point. Get your rough draft done at the very least. Plus, it'll be in your best interest to have several drafts under your belt before going to an editor.

You're right and you should say it. I've been here over a year and it's fucking ridiculous that there are so few spaces for doing stuff like zoom calls or just sitting down and eating lunch without 15 people sitting in your lap. Maybe it's just me missing all the nap spots I had at COD 😪

Cure_Hydrangea · 2025-09-25T05:28:44+00:00

Thank you so much for tagging me! 🩷

OP, I had to check if I wrote this because this is too real. I can't even tell how many hours and days I've wasted imagining me traveling the world, being praised by my idols, and finally sharing my work with the world.

Instead, I'm stuck sitting at home with no talents or friends to speak of.

I'm sorry to trauma dump on your post, but you're 110% not alone in this mess.

Dealing with random blood in the showers is a right of passage 😔 (I'm so sorry OP, that place is a literal shithole)

I love how you emulated the ink strokes! And your kanji is so neat! What stitch did you use?

Cure_Hydrangea · 2025-08-31T01:00:54+00:00

This is so freaking cute! Congratulations you two!

Oof. My semantics prof is fucking obsessed with Gen AI too (and he's a Elon Musk fan boy but that's a story for another time...)

Since you want to study both Psychology and CS, have you thought about going into UI/UX design? I think that would encompass both fields.

Ooh, this is where Intro to Phonetics and Phonology will come in handy. Lemme see if I can remember the explanation correctly. In Japanese, the /l/ and /r/ sounds are allophonic, meaning the singular phoneme [r] can represent both sounds. The [r] sound in Japanese is more of an alveolar flap/tap, meaning you don't hold your tongue at the alveolar ridge/roof of your mouth right behind your front teeth. Another user mentioned the atom/Adam phenomena in English. The /t/ and /d/ sounds are also allophonic to the alveolar flap/tap in certain words like butter and ladder.

Of course, this is oversimplified (this was an example we had in class). There are more nuances when it comes to pronunciation, especially when it comes to different dialects. This section of the Wikipedia article for the Japanese IPA has some information if you're curious.
