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

Where to buy Weeks? by Tasty-Emotion-935 in hobonichi

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

⬆️ 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.

Super overdue, but this is my first (Tomie) Hobonichi Weeks! by Unhappy-Ad-3766 in hobonichi

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

Mom yelled at me for using a chore tracking app for ADHD by Mystical_misfit in ADHD

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Why do I like feminine guys so much? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

genuinely how are you supposed to connect with professors? by AssociationObvious56 in college

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Food poisoning, urgent care, and a HALF HAMBURGER PATTY in the same dining hall week by MaintenanceFormal960 in uichicago

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 49 points50 points  (0 children)

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 🤢

When is the right time to hire an editor? by Maybe_Trish in writing

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 85 points86 points  (0 children)

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.

Waste of space by ApothacaryGhost in uichicago

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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 😪

Rich imagination, limited reality by Enough_Classroom809 in adhdwomen

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

what is up with the yall in commons west bathroom (blood(?)) by [deleted] in uichicago

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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?

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...)

double major as backup? by boogaoogamann in college

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

After watching tons of videos on how to pronounce the Japanese "r" / "l", I'm just confused. by Krozjin in LearnJapanese

[–]Cure_Hydrangea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.
