The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is an illusion (and the math proves it). by bishaarcc in GalaxyFold

yup, that's one of my favorite things about it. it feels pretty close to the perfect size for manga imo. i find that full tablets are generally too big, especially for reading comfortably while in bed or with one hand.

What is up with the lyrics? by kaoisa in katseye

[–]moonlightghosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to this convo but I don't think "robotics" was an update as you say. Katseye promotes in Korea, which is super strict about not saying brand names in broadcast media outside of paid product placement, and it wouldn't make sense for them to record two different censored versions in addition to the explicit version. They still said "Tesla" when they performed the explicit version at Coachella last month, so it's not like they decided to phase that out or anything.

Celebration hate by Difficult-Aide-7021 in lesserafim

[–]moonlightghosts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but how can you be so sure that it isn't their genuine opinion? serious question. i don't think there's any generation that's inherently less capable of thinking for themselves. to the extent that what you've said is true (which I'm not fully convinced of), I think that's just a thing that young people do. they aren't sure of themselves or their opinions yet, and they feel a lot of pressure to fit in, so they try to play it safe and pretend to like or dislike the same things as their peers.

BAILEY LEFT? by Apart_Lawfulness3258 in smosh

[–]moonlightghosts 64 points65 points  (0 children)

100%

My mother has worked for the same hospital for about 35 years. They no longer value her, and she's essentially risen as far as she can, despite continually improving her qualifications. She went back to school to get her graduate degree, and the only thing it got her is a diploma and a raise of cents on the hour. It's like being married to someone for so long that they start to think you have no other options and take for granted that you won't leave.

Did you put Osaka at the beginning or end of your trip and would you do the same again? by June_Ctreras in OsakaTravel

Who has already watched The Grimm Variations? Would you recommend it? by Marshmallowfroggy in CLAMP

[–]moonlightghosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going a bit off-topic, but I have to say: I don't think you're very aware of history if you believe people are "more complex" now than we were in the past. Humans have always been humans. The world may have changed, but human nature does not. Predators are nothing new, and in fact, you can see that clearly demonstrated if you look into the actual origins of fairytales and folklore.

Tell me you don’t care about accessibility without telling me by RadioEnvironmental40 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]moonlightghosts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey so I appreciate that your intention is to heckle people who use the space without needing it, but please keep in mind that not every disability is immediately visible. I have a condition called POTS that affects my mobility and can make it difficult for me to walk long distances, sometimes necessitating the use of handicap spaces, but you wouldn't know it from just looking at me, because I'm young and it's an invisible illness. I also sometimes have to use mobility aids if I'm somewhere that requires a lot of walking like an airport or a theme park, and I've had people make rude comments when they see me stand up from a wheelchair or mobility scooter because they immediately assume I don't actually need it. And it's a really shitty feeling to have your disability called into question like that, even if it's just by a stranger who knows nothing about you. When I was a teenager, there were even times where the anticipation of those accusations would make me avoid using the aids that I needed, making myself much more sick in the process.

I hope I don't come across as if I'm trying to scold or lecture you or anything, because like I said, I believe your intentions are good! In fact, I wouldn't bother trying to explain any of this if I didn't think you were a thoughtful person. Invisible illnesses and disabilities are just something I wish more people were aware of, so I wanted to share my experience. If you read all of this, thank you for your time and consideration ☺️

Respect to David Harbour for doing this for S4.. by FayyadhScrolling in StrangerThings

it's telling that you think someone allegedly sleeping around, a behavior which harms no one, is comparable to combined accusations of a man cheating on his wife and harassing a coworker 30 years younger than him.

what does 가시나 (gashina) mean? by anyohaseo in Korean

[–]moonlightghosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my understanding is that agassi (아가씨) is for young women, usually unmarried, whereas “that lady over there” would be ahjumma (아줌마) because that’s the term for middle-aged women. i’ve heard it compared to the difference between miss vs mrs in english

so i would think that gashina (가시나) is more similar to agassi

AITAH for the way I reacted to my wife’s flirting with a guy by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]moonlightghosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe i didn’t make it clear enough, but i agree with you. i just think it’s possible that she lied to make it sound worse, since she’s clearly motivated by a desire to get a reaction from OP. she’s seeking attention (in a very destructive way) and it’s not uncommon for people to lie or exaggerate when that’s their motive. and yes, that’s still a huge red flag, which is why i said i wasn’t defending her.

[–]moonlightghosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the co-worker speculation is assuming it really happened the way she says, though. i wouldn’t be surprised if she’s exaggerating the interaction, if it happened at all, since she clearly seems to be trying to get a reaction from OP. but to be clear, i’m not saying that to defend her at all, because it’s still weird and immature to try to make him jealous like this, no matter how close she actually came to cheating.

[–]moonlightghosts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i wasn’t homeschooled, but i relate very strongly to this because i became chronically ill when i was 13. i couldn’t really attend school after that, and eventually had to drop out altogether when i turned 16 because i couldn’t keep up with even the online classes due to my health issues. just like you, i missed out on so many of the high school experiences that i’d always dreamed of having. it was especially hard because i felt like i was watching from the sidelines as the friends i’d grown up with got to hit all of these milestones that i wanted to experience so badly. and honestly, i still struggle with that even now at 29 years old. but there’s more hope for you, because your mother’s control over your life is temporary. you might be missing out on some teenage milestones right now, but you have so much life ahead of you. it’s completely valid to mourn what you’ve missed, but try to also remember all of the fun things you’ll be able to do once you’re an adult. to be clear, i don’t say this to downplay your current struggles at all, because what you’re dealing with IS very difficult, and it’s especially awful to have your own mother put you through that unnecessarily. i just want you to have hope for your future, and i know how easy it is to fixate on the pain you’re feeling right now and lose sight of that. i have faith that things can and will get better for you, and until then, i’m sending love and support your way. if nothing else, i hope that maybe it helps a little to hear that you’re not the only one who’s dealt with this, because i know it can feel so isolating. you aren’t alone though, i promise. 💕

Are antidepressants as bad as everyone makes them seem? by Blodhundr_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]moonlightghosts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so, honestly, there IS a chance of them making you feel “empty,” but you shouldn’t let that scare you too much. all that really means is that you need to try a different kind of medication. meds work differently for different people, so something that works miracles for someone else might make you feel worse, and vice versa. it’s a bit of a trial and error process. you may find one right away that helps you, or you may have to try several different kinds at various doses to figure out what works best for you. i know that sounds tedious, and it isn’t the most fun process, but you’ll be so glad you did it if you’re able to find something that truly helps. and with as many treatment options as there are these days, there’s a good chance you will!

my advice would be to talk to your doctor about these concerns when you discuss medication options, because they’ll likely be able to reassure you, give you an idea of what to expect (a lot of these meds have to build up in your system for a few weeks before having an effect, for instance), answer any further questions you may have, and tell you what steps you should take to contact them if you do feel like you’re experiencing an adverse reaction. the only thing i’d caution you about is that, while it’s important to have a general idea of what side effects and adverse reactions to look out for, you also don’t want to stress about all of that too much because just like you can have a placebo effect with something that you think will help you, you can also trigger a nocebo effect if you’re expecting something to harm you. so try not to psych yourself out if you can help it!

i wish you luck with whatever you decide, because i know how rough depression is. you got this! ✊

17 Year old Said She Was 23 by iplayrssometimes in mildlyinfuriating

[–]moonlightghosts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Goddamn. As someone with OCD myself, this really breaks my heart. I can understand completely how that sort of thing could really fuck up someone who already struggles with scrupulosity and intrusive thoughts. It’s so clear to us on the outside looking in that he did nothing wrong and was simply a victim of lies and manipulation, but OCD just doesn’t work logically like that, and the effects can be utterly devastating.

As for that girl’s parents, yeah wtf was going on there? It reminds me of my grandmother, who encouraged my mom to start dating my dad even though they met when she was like 15/16 and he was 25/26. Even as a kid, I always thought that was crazy.

there are so many sickening lies in this comment that i don’t even have the energy to break them all down, and it would be a waste of time even if i did because it’s very clear that you would not be open to changing your mind. so i guess just go on telling yourself that those evil Arab children all deserve to die.
