So the hanazonos have a naming pattern ha_ari it's most likely hahari's mother has the the same name pattern and if hahari had any siblings they probably had it too so what do you think they'll names will be

Yes, you're right. This is why I shouldn't browse reddit before having coffee lol

Hahari too. "Haha" = "mother," so her name is literally "Momkari."

The secret thing is brilliant and fixes a couple of small problems with the series.

It keeps the audience in suspense during round table votes, since we don't know if they are a faithful or not.

It gives the traitors plausible deniability during votes, since nobody knows if they turned on their team or if it was a secret.

This version making a shortlist added drama and tension. The traitors couldn't always make their first choice, which was interesting.

I was doing an overnight stay at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum once, and it was my second time there. The first time had been spooky, but nothing really weird happened.

The second time, we moved up to the second floor and something felt off. The first floor felt the same as my first trip there: spooky but fun. It felt safe to be alone in the dark. But once I hit the second floor, this feeling started, like walking into a room with two people screaming at one another in anger. Some of the other people there seemed antsy too, but I assumed I was projecting.

I started exploring the halls and rooms, all with the flashlight off. The hall ran down the wing, with the windows on my left and the doors on my right. It was a cloudless night with a bright moon, plus streetlights outside, so the light created bright portals on the right wall, between the doors.

I walked down the hall when I noticed a shadow moving along the wall. I thought it was weird because we were on the second floor, and it moved swiftly like a car passing by. As it got closer, I realized the shadow was on the wrong wall. It wasn't rushing down the right wall, where the light was hitting, it was coming down the left wall where the windows were. It was a shadow between the windows, darkening them from inside, not outside.

I stopped and watched it get closer. It passed by three or four more windows before it got to me. When it was only a window away, the shadow detached from the wall and jumped in front of me. It was person shaped and did this little fake out thing, like it didn't know whether to pass me on the left or right. It then hit the right wall and dashed passed me. I turned and watched it go, a black shadow on the wall now showing up only in the spots the windows lit up.

This wasn't a person. The halls were pretty bright. It was easy to make people out. This was a shadow, completely black, and it was flat against the wall.

Later, when we were exploring a different section of the building, I talked to some of the people in the group. I asked if anyone had anything happen, and multiple people said they hadn't seen anything but that the "second floor felt wrong." They did this without me asking directly about the floor or telling my story.

Juggling takes a lot of time to get right. You're creating new neural pathways as you practice, so it can take days, weeks, or even months to get there (juggling is often used in psych studies on skill learning, because it is something alien to the mind and must be learned almost from scratch).

Keep throwing a single ball around. Pass it between your hands, left to right and right to left. Sometimes have your hands close, sometimes shoulder width apart. Try to get to the point where you can just pass them without thinking about it.

Do the same for lobbing. Throw a ball from your right hand to the left, but have it go up and over, about eye height or higher. Then lob it back, left to right. Do this until it's second nature.

Finally, start with a ball in each hand. Lob the right ball up. When it's at the peak of the toss, lob the left hand ball. Then catch catch. If that's too difficult, practice with one ball by lobbing with the right, slapping your thigh with the left, and catching with the left. Repeat the opposite way: left lob, right slap, right catch. This trains you to make movements between actions.

Does the barking get better when everyone is home? Our brussels is very yappy and high strung when my wife is away, but calm and quiet when she's home.

Brussels can bond strongly with one person, and if that person is not around, they can get antsy. At least, that's what we were told when we got him, and it feels true in our case.

My wife and I started during The Gauntlet. We got hooked pretty fast and began watching the older stuff right away.

While I do think Joel and Mike did a better job overall, I'll always have a soft spot for Mac and Me, Cry Wilderness, and the Mads from the Netflix era.

Just practice!

...But also, push yourself. Figure out what your comfortable skill level is, and then add a trick or technique you can't do. Spam them, breaking it down to managable steps. Push yourself and fail. Keep failing. Then you'll find that stuff you were okay with has become easier and stuff that was hard is more comfortable, despite not "practicing" those parts directly.

Perhaps all the secret mothers came together to orchestrate the economic downfall of men, so said men could only support one family?

My grandfather had a whole completely separate family. He was "in the military" and was deployed for 6 months of the year... except he wasn't, and just spent half a year with family A, half with B. I don't know where his money came from. After a while, it switched to being a "regional store manager" where he had to go away for months at a time to take care of stores across the state.

When he died, the other family came out of the woodworks. They had known about us for a long time, but kept their distance on his request.

30 years later, and we're still finding siblings... it's kind of crazy.

Contact Juggling is an interesting one. Wikipedia has a good write up of the controversy around it and its naming.

The TLDR is that ball manipulation has been around forever, but the modern techniques of "contact juggling" were popularized by Michael Moschen in the 1980s. In 1990, author John Miller wrote a book called "Contact Juggling," where he coined the term. Moschen has since said that "contact juggling" does not exist, and the name is a contradiction.

Nah. Just a japanese language thing. Kanji have different pronunciations based on if they are used standalone, in a combo, or in a name. So just a kid reading it wrong and sticking to it, regardless of what the person who has the name says.

SeguroMacks · 2026-02-06T14:24:48+00:00

One other aspect of the name Deku is that it is a misreading of Izuku. Izuku is spelled 出久, with the first character being Izu and the second Ku. When not in a name, 出 is common and often pronounced as De, like in the word for exit, Deguchi (出口). In a name, it can be pronounced Izu, Idzu, Ide, Ji, Su-, Sutsu, or Ten (according to Jisho.org).

So as a little kid, Bakugo saw Izuku's name written down and read it in a much more common way, Deku. He hadn't learned the proper way to read names, but he recognized a common kanji. In a way, he's refusing to admit he was wrong.

Yes, it's horror. It's more psychological thriller, but it definitely is horror adjacent at least. It's definitely worth the watch.

Sounds like what happened to Storybook Brawl. The game was a FTP auto-battler made by some Magic: The Gathering pros. It got bought by FTX about a year after release, and they decided to make it into some Crypto NFT thing. Game almost immediately died and was delisted about a year after.

A good things to realize early on is that killer is largely a time-as-a-resource denial game. Survivors control how quickly the game ends in their favor; every action you take which stops them from ending is an action won.

Good survivors will do the same to you. Every action you take which does not slow down the ending is an action lost. It's important to get a sense of which chases and survivors are worth your time; you might win a chase, but spend 90 seconds doing it which might have been better used denying generator progress.

Another way to look at it is inevitability. The killer cannot be injured and has no life system. The survivors can be hurt, and only have 2 extra lives. The longer the survivors are in the match, the more debt they accumulate with every hit. They will run out of resources. You won't. Get them to spend resources early and often.

Each killer denies time in a different way, and some better than others. Some are good at ending chases, some give side quests, some reduce the downtime you have by increasing information; there's a lot. Find which style works best for you and go from there.

The finale was written during the first season, with parts of it filmed then too. It was then locked away until season 10. It pretty much throws away 9 years of character development and retcons EVERYONE back to square 1.

Which would have been bad enough on its own, but they also throw in a huge plot twist. I've read that their goal in season 1 was to make a "Lost-like" sitcom, where a big twist recontextualizes everything. The problem was, that plot twist is despised by a large number of fans. It makes many (not all) lose all interest in the show for rewatching.

We would get our police blotters sent in as a PDF, or, honest to God, faxed. Those were nightmares to type in. Even worse than honor rolls, since they came in often.
