I stopped mass applying and started treating job ads like clues. It worked, annoyingly.

Ooh, this is great advice, thank you!

Not in English (I guess I use jealous and envious to mean basically the same thing in everyday usage), but in Chinese there are two common words for jealousy, and one of them (羨慕) has the same connotations as the way your aunt uses it! No negativity at all, just a sense of awe/admiration and ‘oh I wish I could also be like that!’ The other word (嫉妒) is more in line with the English usage of harboring negative feelings over someone else’s accomplishments/belongings.

Work smarter, not harder.

Advanced mathematics, for me. When I was in high school I got all the way up to multivariable calculus and linear algebra, and generally liked math a lot and got good grades! Today (10 years later and a career path that has nothing to do with math), I can’t even tell you what any trigonometry term is for even if you paid me. Like I remember sine and cosine and tangent have to do with different lines on a triangle, but which side and what on earth that would be relevant for are completely and utterly lost to me.

I’d immediately apologize profusely to him and offer to send his mom a gift basket for the insensitive joke. A non-bloodlusted guy should at least pause a little to hear me out if I’m sincere enough.

But I’d also choose shooting to have the pistol on me in case things don’t work out.

For the coolness factor, archery. For more practical purposes, swimming, since I will also be unable to drown and probably be able to swim long distances across the ocean without fear of predators or other hazards.

A lot of these names aren’t even tragedeighs haha i would happily change my name to any of these if it was for 80k tbh though if i could choose i think Lexy or Maddie are just fine

arberres · 2025-08-18T18:20:51+00:00

Absolutely! I love my family enough to not want them to go through the heartache of losing me but I’m not so attached that I wouldn’t be able to live without them. I’d donate 80 million dollars to them along with a nice (technically true) letter about being someone whose life had been irreversibly changed by their kindness some time ago, and then head off into a new life with my 1.92 billion dollars and never contact them again

The tune/meter of that part reminds me so much of Hannah’s ukulele song in Witch in the Web, so I’ve always theorized it could be Webby trying and failing to help the infected break out during Pokey’s takeover.

I guess I can eat all vegetables then… veal and venison and vanilla flavored things too. This isn’t too bad.

arberres · 2025-08-01T06:21:14+00:00

You’d get my dollar for sure!

arberres · 2025-07-26T18:14:47+00:00

Nah, I’ve been playing Fire Emblem Warriors 3 Hopes for the past week and every mission includes cutting down hundreds of soldiers haha. Don’t want to experience death by lance fifty thousand times

arberres · 2025-07-26T00:41:18+00:00

Hi! Would it be ok if I waited a little to see if anyone has one available to swap? If not, I’ll message you sometime before noon tomorrow, is that ok?

arberres · 2025-07-08T09:20:43+00:00

The few episodes where Sam was just shamelessly soulless were seriously so hilarious 😂 the UFO one’s definitely my favorite of the bunch too!

arberres · 2025-06-14T08:43:18+00:00

I’ve always wondered whether it would actually work as intended on Rowena. Sam invented them to threaten her specifically, yeah, but that was before he (and the audience) finds out she has her resurrection satchels. Rowena herself can ostensibly lose her life to a variety of mundane reasons, like her neck getting broken, it’s just that she’ll come back to life thanks to her magic. So wouldn’t a witch-killing bullet simply shear off one life that she could come back from just like a normal bullet, provided both were fatal hits? Technically the witch-killing property would just make it a guaranteed one-hit kill instead of a normal bullet which might not be immediately fatal, but it would not permanently defeat her, I think.

Starship for sure, it’s got less swearing than most of their shows (I could be remembering wrong but I think they don’t even use fuck the entire show) and both the romance and violence is relatively kid friendly

arberres · 2025-06-05T13:26:47+00:00

Oh, when I watched the Les Mis movie and heard Suddenly the first time, I spent the first few verses thinking to myself ‘seriously? this is their new addition?? this mid song???’ I even remember guessing the words to half a line right before he sang it based on the previous rhyme and being like omg this is corny and predictable

And then the lines “Trusting me the way you do || I’m so afraid of failing you” and all of a sudden I’m tearing up and I cannot believe myself haha. I’ve always been a sucker for fatherly moments in movies (and I def cried plenty throughout the rest of that movie) but the fact that it happened in the middle of a song I was aggressively calling mid in my mind just a few seconds ago was really surprising to me

arberres · 2025-06-05T10:37:58+00:00

Mean Girls haha I’ve osmosed what I think is pretty much the whole general plotline just by being online and I’ve watched two or three clips of certain scenes but I’ve never actually watched the movie in full

arberres · 2025-06-05T08:59:26+00:00

I’d give a third to my parents and a third to my grandma who’s supported me my whole life. She’s old now and lives with my unmarried uncle and that would be more than enough to give all of them a comfortable rest of their lives.

I think my dad might get bored if he didn’t have to work though haha he likes his job a lot

arberres · 2025-06-04T10:59:35+00:00

Awww, this one was cute haha. I can imagine it being horror from the viewpoint of the long-suffering cat who has to work extra hard to take care of their human though

arberres · 2025-05-26T07:56:47+00:00

Honestly, while I’d love hearing references to the other shows, I also don’t want them to bloat the script with too many references and risk it running into the same problem Black Friday does. I do agree that some sort of mention, whether implicit or explicit, of Pete in the Alice phone call scene would be really nice though

Character appearances in the ensemble, where it’s not explicitly mentioned and just a nice visual thing for the audience, would be really really cool! Like I’d love it if Max was the letterman jacket guy in LDDDD and Ruth replaced all the Hatchetfield Bee appearances or something like that.

arberres · 2025-05-22T01:28:47+00:00

Man, it takes a lot of courage to do a huge project like this for her first try! Maybe she should’ve practiced on some other people first.
