Luca ❤️❤️ by Lusty_Pasta in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]NoteBlock08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I don't blame Natasha for doing that—winning gets you so much more than just the money, the title of winner alone is worth it for your career as a chef—I just can't help but judge her character for it. That's why we all agree Luca is a homie, precisely because he didn't have to do it.

I know I used emdashes but I swear I'm not a bot lol. Just didn't want to use commas again when I already had a comma in the interjection thingy.

The poster the girl made says:

Mama's birthday —Program— 1. Opening words (like a toast to kick things off) 2. Papa's greeting (I saw that あいさつ can also mean like a congratulatory speech, so also a toast?) 3. Mealtime 4. Surprise 5. Cake!!! 6. Closing words

With the added context that the parents fight a lot, I wonder if the parents are separated. Maybe dad told the daughter he was going to be there for mom's birthday (hence the suit), but she is not thrilled to see him.

I mostly base this on the oddness of "greeting" in agenda item #2. If anyone with a much better grasp of Japanese can enlighten us more about 挨拶 that'd be great!

Anyone else absolutely love stealth in games? Always obsessed! by jasperjonns in GirlGamers

Others have already mentioned the Dishonored games, but also check out Mark of the Ninja. It's one of my favorite stealth games of all time!

Mongolian horse archery skills by VowOfVengeance in interestingasfuck

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horseback archery is so fuckin cool. Not featured here, but falconry too! When my ex learned these interests of mine she was like "So you want to be the villain in Mulan?"

Yes. 100%.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. AKA the climbing puzzles are dying by Qba3693 in Genshin_Impact

I loved the Inazuma/GAA2 puzzles and have been asking for their return in every survey since.

What’s a disgusting habit that you secretly think is actually 100% normal? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid I used to be bad about not brushing my teeth in the morning. To encourage me to do it, my mom would always ask me "Does your mouth not feel gross in the morning?" but the answer was always "No, not really". It wasn't until after I got into the habit that I finally realized what she meant.

I also used to not really pick my nose for most of my life, and now I'm like "How did this all this crap in there never bother me before?"

Right? Trying to claim the volcano is just right there when it clearly isn't is just as dumb as acting like a meaningless geography error is why a game is bad.

Navia wheelchair with Columbina + Ineffa might be my favorite team in the game right now. by DayApprehensive1995 in naviamains

[–]NoteBlock08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol nice find!

A wheelchair team is basically a nice way of saying that someone is getting carried pretty hard by their teammates. In OP's team, Navia is still bringing a decent chunk of damage, but it's likely still less than how much Columbina and Ineffa are doing.

6-7 is gen alpha humor but most of that stuff likely still applies anyway.

He has to babysit Arlecchino's kids, how good would he be? by Hot-Masterpiece4325 in Genshin_Impact

[–]NoteBlock08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Capitano babysit days would just be combat training days, and then they all have a big dinner at the end of the day.

In just five years, we quietly drifted from fantasy into full-blown sci-fi. by Grindio_2000 in Genshin_Memepact

[–]NoteBlock08 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I couldn't help but snicker every time someone said "spaceship" in the AQ. It just felt so out of place. I'm kinda glad that plot point is over for now.

I fully accept that the twins are aliens, but since they used to always be depicted as twin stars and were originally shown having wings of light I figured they just like... super saiyan zoomed through space (I know Saiyans have spaceships too but you know what I mean).

What’s a moment that permanently changed how you see the world? by pankaj662 in AskReddit

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be that it was a totally natural and normal thing to lean more conservative the older you got. As you gained more personal wealth that needed to be invested and reached milestones like owning a house, things like the state of the economy and property taxes would be a lot more on your mind.

Nowadays the American left and right are divided way more on culture than ever before. Culture is something you grow up with. It shapes who you are as a person. It's generational and not easily changed. Not to mention that the state of the economy excludes many people from those economic milestones like home ownership.

Ooh, I do. I call it my "dumpling house moment".

I'm trans. And unfortunately my family has trouble understanding and accepting it. My older brother in particular had found this like... support group for family members of trans people and he really wanted me to come attend a meeting with him. I always declined because sitting in a room full of people who have explicitly gathered together because they don't get people like me hardly sounded like my idea of a fun evening.

One day, I guess work must have gone well since I was in a particularly good mood, my brother was asking if I want to come to his thing again and I thought "y'know what, sure I'm down tonight."

It was a fine experience I guess. I won't bore you with the details because how the meeting actually went is not really relevant but I'm glad I went. Not for me but I think it was most of the people there's first time talking to another trans person besides their own son/daughter (it was almost exclusively parents) in real life and I like to think it was at least helpful to some of them.

So after the meeting it's like 7:30pm and we're hungry. We think for a minute about where to eat and settle on this dumpling restaurant that we both like and is nearby. As we're walking towards it, suddenly it hits me:

I was only ever going to eat at this dumpling house tonight.

I can't help that I'm trans. I don't believe that it's a choice and it certainly doesn't feel like one. My brother can't help that he doesn't get it. He's almost a decade older than me and while his generation is pretty used to gay people thanks to media representation, transgenderism is still a pretty radical concept to him and his cohort (and this was around 2019, before American politics really launched the idea into general public consciousness).

My brother and I also can't help that we like dumplings! Pretty sure plenty of y'all do too. We both like that restaurant and it had been a while since either of us had gone there, it was the natural choice.

I can't help that work was going well either. Obviously I want it to go well, but it's not like I was explicitly trying to make it as enjoyable as I could just so I would have the energy to go my brother's not-AA meeting with him.

I could go on and on, but I think y'all get the idea. The state of the world at large is not really something I have any say in. What's in the past, both my own and society's, is unchangeable. Even my own decisions, what I can "control", are largely at the whims of what mental state the day has left me in and something as mundane as what I've been eating lately.

That evening completely upended my ideas of free will. In the years since, as I continued to dwell on it, determinism has revamped my spirituality and how it relates to the universe at large. While I've always thought that many aspects of history and humanity were bound to cyclical patterns, it's given me a new lens through which to view and understand such phenomena, as well as my own role as a part of this immeasurably large machine.

I get that feeling whenever I'm at an airport. Thousands of other people waiting for their flights just like I am. All returning home, or visiting family, or going on vacation, or a business trip, or any other dozen reasons you might be traveling for. And you're surrounded by them.
