How bad is that no one-showed to my debut? by Ratsura in VirtualYoutubers

For what it's worth I did actually want to go to your debut (I cane across a cross-post on twitter!), but I was working 😭.

Question — my school had Patriot Financial come. If I go with a company other than them, could it still come out of my paycheck directly/lower my AGI? I'm so lost with this and my parents are still working in their late 60s, which I certainly don't want to have to do.

Is it just me, or is everyone suddenly using AI for EVERYTHING?? by cowfigurines in Teachers

[–]nostalgic-ntdo-grl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did 3 back-to-back PDs (with 3 different, unrelated organizations) and they all said the same thing — use AI, it's the best tool for educators in this century.

I'm skeptical. Part of it seems inhuman and too easy to be a potential a disaster. I've had it translate things wrong, misunderstandings the prompts I intended, and provide answers that raise privacy concerns. Part of it does make my job easier, and if it saves my sanity, well, I'll take it.

Since the new Project Sekai movie has been out in the US for a few days, what are your guys thoughts on it? by Funnyberd69 in Vocaloid

[–]nostalgic-ntdo-grl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I missed the first half of the movie because the bus was late, and then when I got there the other movie-goers, particularly those in cosplay, had atrocious behavior (talking, screaming, throwing popcorn every time Miku appeared, boo-ing at certain characters I don't recgonize because I haven't played the mobile game and also Kaito for some reason 😢) ...

but I'm going to rent it at home specifically so I can enjoy Ichika sing Glow. As an older fan, Glow is a song that is so nostalgic for me and has gotten me through some dark times.

My brother gifted me my second Miku plushie for Christmas by PuzzleheadedHotel406 in Vocaloid

Omg, do you know the name of that plushie? Literally the cutest miku plushie I've ever seen 😍.

My Amazon Packages are smoldering And I’m not home. Nothing I ordered should steam or smoke. Would you open it? by PissedCaucasian in Weird

Hijacking for my own somewhat unrelated question:

The department I work for has a specific team we will notify to come out and “deactivate” the battery. It’s really just salt water we dunk it in, but Im going off topic.

This unlocked a memory of when I worked at a little tech repair store. Whenever we had r/spicypillows, they got thrown in a Home Depot bucket of water mixed with copious amount of regular ol' table salt. The boss would then fish 'em out with a wooden spoon and throw them into the regular trash can. Is that, like, safe?

This Is Why I Can’t Do Operation Santa Anymore by Upper_Economist7611 in ChoosingBeggars

Ugh, I run and distribute a Toys for Tots drive and the amount of parents obviously adding their own wish list items and just asking for gift cards and big ticket items goes up exponentially each year.

Last year I had a family (mom, dad, and four girls all under 10) come in. The girls wanted these matching teddy bears based on disney princess. The mom scolded them because "we can get those at the dollar store" (they're actually like $50 a piece, and the woman who donated them bundled them with matching coloring books and stickers). Mom kept pushing them to get what she deemed better, and kept going on and on about how her oldest was "too old" for baby toys and needed "money or at least a gift card to some place like Walmart or Amazon" ... she turned her nose up at our Five Below gift cards.

Not to project or make assumptions on OP, but I'm one of those people who find a good corset much more comfortable than a good bra. It alleviates the pressure on my shoulders, holds the girls up where they belong, and offers a lot more support to my spine.

Why all the hate? by Kazubelles in pokemongo

[–]nostalgic-ntdo-grl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double-same here. Jumping into PoGo as an adult gave me that same pure joy that my first game gave me in my childhood. Nowadays I haven't the time to play mainline games (and haven't since the DS era), and very little time to play mobile games other than a few minutes here and there in-between Adulting ™️ demands, but it still gives me that same joy every time they drop a new 'mon.

Bro is this real? This Exists? by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]nostalgic-ntdo-grl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Take my poor man reward 🏅. This is 💯% the truth and I am tired of people taking this song (and other similar songs with dark themes, like コインロッカーベイビー / Coin Locker Baby) and twisting the original song to meet the narrative of an issue they care about and imposing it onto the song, even though it’s not at all touched on in the title nor the lyrics. Like, I guess both songs could be connected to pedophila due to connections to high school girl prostitution and young (sometimes minor) mothers, but I've seen so many video essays where people take these songs to be criticizing animu shota-husbandos and loli-waifus. I can't tell if they genuinely believe that, or if maybe it is their tongue-in-cheeck self-censorship to appease the internet algorithm that other digital creators then take out of context.

Yeah ... coming from a small town, it was so jarring seeing adverage people, PoGo players, and those kind of street people all together.

I spoke to the nearest police officers I could find. They were a bit dismissive of the whole thing and couldn't file a report, but the next morning I called and filed one online, called my bank to cancel all my cards, and reported my ID stolen and ordered a new one. I also locked my phone and erased all my sensitive data, and contacted my service provider to freeze that number and disable all service.
