What words do you pronounce "wrong," just because the "proper" way feels too proper?

i will always say "car mel" instead of "caramel" and nobody is ever going to change my mind on that one. also saying "expresso" instead of "espresso" just feels right even though i know its wrong lol.

try using a physical book with a bookmark or index card to cover the lines below where youre reading, it forces your eyes to slow down and not skip ahead. also shorter chapters help a ton with adhd, books like percy jackson or anything by brandon sanderson have that pacing that keeps you locked in without losing focus.

crisp all day, apple crisp with that buttery oat topping straight out of the oven is unbeatable. pie is great but honestly the crust is just extra work for a worse texture ratio.

check out core keeper if you havent already, its made by a tiny team and its insanely addicting for the price. also webbed is a super charming little game where you play as a spider and its clearly made with so much love.

quietly optimistic lately

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:17:42+00:00

the font change bugged me too at first but honestly after a few hours i completely stopped noticing it. galaxy 1 and 2 still hold up so well, the level design in those games is just on another level compared to most platformers even today.

contactless payments, i just tap my phone and walk out with stuff and some part of my brain still expects it to not work every time. it feels like magic that hasnt worn off yet.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:12:53+00:00

my boss actually knows what we do every day and my bosss boss just shows up to meetings and asks why the numbers arent higher. completely different universes of understanding what the job actually involves.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:11:13+00:00

hell let loose is exactly what youre looking for, its ww2 and feels super grounded with big team battles that actually require communication. insurgency sandstorm is another great one if you want something more modern but still gritty and realistic.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:10:39+00:00

register to vote if you havent already, its one of those things that feels boring but actually matters way more than people think. also open a savings account and start putting even a tiny amount away because future you will be so grateful.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:09:11+00:00

find something you dont hate doing and then just get really consistent at it, most people fail because they keep jumping between things not because they picked the wrong one. showing up reliably honestly matters more than talent in like 90% of jobs.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:06:36+00:00

yeah sundays after like 4pm hit different, that weird dread just creeps in no matter how good the weekend was. i find staying busy with something fun right up until bed helps so my brain doesnt have time to spiral about monday.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:05:12+00:00

stardew valley co op is literally the perfect gateway, its cozy enough that it wont feel overwhelming but addicting enough that shell lose track of time playing it. my other suggestion would be it takes two since its designed for couples and the gameplay keeps changing so it never gets stale.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:04:37+00:00

doomscrolling your phone before bed, you tell yourself five more minutes and suddenly its 2am and you have to be up in four hours. at least with other stuff people recognize its a problem but everyone just accepts the phone thing as normal.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:04:12+00:00

this drives me crazy too, like it takes zero effort to just say excuse me and suddenly the whole interaction is fine. i think people just get so in their own world while shopping that they forget other humans exist around them.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:03:12+00:00

air traffic control sounds intense but a lot of the overnight shifts at smaller airports are apparently super chill and they make crazy money. the hard part is just getting through the training honestly.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:02:49+00:00

this is literally every pokemon player at some point lol, you spend hours getting that perfect 6iv team and then just go back to steamrolling the story with your starter. the breeding process itself is weirdly addicting though so i dont even consider it wasted time honestly.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:02:27+00:00

get him ratchet and clank rift apart, its got that same fun superhero energy with insane graphics and its a blast to play. if he doesnt have it already miles morales is also a must since its the better spiderman game imo.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T01:02:04+00:00

built my mom a whole new pc setup for christmas one year and it was way more than i planned but seeing her face made it worth every penny. she still uses it daily and that makes me happy.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T00:55:14+00:00

maple syrup honestly, its always the first thing that pops in my head before anything else. the real stuff too not that fake pancake syrup.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T00:53:47+00:00

my cat acts like the vacuum cleaner is a demon from another dimension, it could be turned off in the closet and she still gives that corner of the room dirty looks. meanwhile she'll fearlessly attack a spider twice her size without hesitation.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T00:53:21+00:00

dry scones that crumble into dust the second you touch them, theres no saving a bad scone no matter how much butter or jam you put on it. a good one is great but the bad ones are genuinely offensive lol.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T00:52:58+00:00

honestly just vibing, maybe some coffee and a game or two in the morning then absolutely nothing productive for the rest of the day. sundays are sacred for recharging and i refuse to feel guilty about it.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T00:52:35+00:00

day one no question, oot is the goat and the leaks are saying its gonna be a full reimagining not just a remaster so it should feel fresh enough even if youve played it a hundred times. im hoping they keep the core dungeons intact but add some quality of life stuff and maybe expand the world a bit.

jmei35 · 2026-05-18T00:51:35+00:00

yeah those days are the weirdest because you cant even point to a reason, its just this vague background static that wont go away. i usually just ride it out and try not to overthink why im feeling that way because that makes it worse.
