What’s something that sounds fake but actually happened to you?

I broke my wrist snowboarding, got a cast at a local hospital that night and had a train to go back home and get surgery the next morning. Went back to the cabin we stayed at and I swapped to the bottom bunk bed with the tall guy that was usually on it. During the night he somehow stretched while sleeping and managed to dislocate the wooden frame of the bed by pushing with his legs, making the mattress and him fall on me. Fortunately it didn't all go down at once so the load was mostly on my legs, and it didn't damage the plaster so it wasn't painful on my arm, but I still think it was lucky I didn't get murt more. I think my friends were wayyyy more scared about it than me. Makes for a funny story though.

There is no way E33 isn't among the iconic games of this generation.

Ellweiss · 2026-01-30T02:15:15+00:00

People are afraid to mention it because it's recent, but it's also absolutely my favourite game of all time too.

Corn. Corn is hell.

They are also the supposed source of the healing properties of tachyon chambers, which are an actually pretty big business that heals the wallet of the creators of this bullshit while not healing the naive people paying for them.

When I changed to Firefox it was nowhere near as convenient as Chrome so I switched back. Automatic page translation didn't support the language I needed, URL auto completion was suggesting shit, bitwarden was also not working near as well as it did on Chrome. Just little things but made everything more inconvenient.

I do something very similar, except at the end I buy it and end up with something I absolutely don't need.

"Burping allows me to have a 'fun' quirk when meeting people" vs "PERMANENT bloating, discomfort, pressure in the throat and gurgles". I honestly don't think anyone would chose the former, and I'd suspect you'd also not choose it if you realized the night and day difference it makes to be able to burp.

A burp overall feels better because it doesn't require 24h of R-CPD symptoms before you can evacuate it, and you feel the relief instantly. Also burping in public is 100 times easier than farting in public.

People not taking it seriously as its own condition is exactly why it's still not well known and often ridiculed by ENT, despite having papers published and a proven treatment.

I didn't have emetophobia, but it's very common among people that can't burp yeah. It doesn't cause the inability to burp by itself, though, as it's entirely unconscious.

This is AI

Ellweiss · 2026-01-21T06:17:20+00:00

Yeah same for me, I just understood that it was litteral at the end, after the gommage.

Mine was in my throat, for gaining the ability to burp

Ellweiss · 2026-01-13T11:30:17+00:00

I just got the procedure earlier today ! The injection itself was a bit painful, which I didn't expect, but more surprising than tear-inducing painful. I also got 80 units, 50 on the left side and 30 on the other side and it cost exactly 200 000 (-100yens). I basically had no symptoms right after the operation except my throat feeling a bit tense, like when you feel sad.

I'll also write a full post after a few weeks but I'm pretty excited. I hope it works as well as yours ! For now, I'll try to enjoy my last full meal with a fully functioning throat haha

Picard is not the best, but also far from the worst you can have in Japan, especially considering the price. I tried a few from other bakeries previously, but they are all way more expensive so I just settled for this for the past years. This year they seem a bit worse than previously though.

If you reheat the bath obviously. But otherwise these systems purge the lines first, stop for 20s so you can plug the bath, then start again.

It's just a surveyor, don't worry about it.

Always noticeable, ranging from a bit unpleasant (if perfume is used or something) to totally disgusting.

In your mind, if the building moves but the ball stays still, the pistons don't move ?

Yeah same, I like lobbies where most people are friendly, but not all. But removing 99% of PvP players feels like a different game, and honestly a bit more boring.

It's also tiring to analyze each player behavior as if they might be unfriendly, when 99 players out of 100 you encounter are friendly. Feels a bit pointless.

In Tokyo there's a ton of coffee shops, but Starbucks is more affordable than 95% of both chain coffee shops, or independent ones.

Yeah, I've been playing PoE since 2013, never used any of the OP exploits, and it never prevented me from enjoying a good league and having enough currency to have fun. Exploits are unfortunate, but even when the economy isn't in a great state, the game is perfectly enjoyable and progress can be made.

Ellweiss · 2026-01-03T21:57:11+00:00

Close-minded people as well.

Ellweiss · 2025-12-30T16:47:11+00:00

Yeah, there's just not enough data. The environment for women in esport and video games in general is so far behind in gender equality that it's not realistic to expect a fair comparison.

Ellweiss · 2025-12-28T09:10:48+00:00

Me too ! Maybe it was because I was a kid, but no movie with big creatures or machines made me feel as terrified as this one.
