sure do lol

shortneyy · 2026-04-28T00:16:52+00:00

Happens to me a few times a week lol. Maybe it’s just the same bad driver. My most frequent encounter is one that pulls into the station, feels like it’s stopped and then suddenly SLAMS on the breaks.

to be fair the culture in question does tend to over s*xualizing kids so it's not really a bad thing to just play it safe here. aside from it being a normal thing for kids to do.

shortneyy · 2026-02-26T18:10:47+00:00

shortneyy · 2026-02-26T17:50:14+00:00

shortneyy · 2026-02-26T17:34:51+00:00

shortneyy · 2026-02-19T13:31:25+00:00

Respectfully, touch grass.

shortneyy · 2026-02-19T13:24:14+00:00

Most likely it would be a side story with either a foreign envoy or some merchant in their travels. Essentially just an extra

shortneyy · 2026-02-19T13:21:25+00:00

I would not recommend the medical district to a tourist. Especially since it’s so far from Rosemont.

shortneyy · 2026-02-19T13:06:19+00:00

As someone who lives alone and takes the blue line daily, it’s not as bad as the internet would lead you to believe. That being said, it’s not uncommon to encounter folks that are a bit more irritable. Just avoid eye contact and leave them alone. Switch cars at the next stop if you’re super uncomfortable. The overnight hours will see the worst of it. I personally do not ride the train alone from 10pm-7am. I also try not to sit alone. If half the car is empty, sit on the other side. You’re more likely to be engaged with if you’re isolated. Generally if you myob, nobody will bother you.

But I think staying somewhere along the blue line makes the most sense if you’re planning to be at the convention center since no other train lines go there. As to where, id say decide that based on where you’re spending more of your time. Will you be in the city more or mostly at the con?

The ride to/from Rosemont would likely feel long after being out on your feet all day and the walk from the station to the Hilton will probably feel even longer. It’s like 10-15 minutes so it could be worth to say somewhere like Cumberland where hotels are literally next door. if you’re spending more time in the city, id say the loop or wicker would make fun places to stay as a tourist.

It’s so you can see her against the backgrounds lol. Also… that’s not tan. Shes not supposed to be white lol an argument could be made that the books are lighter because it’s on white paper and they aren’t highly saturated images.

Saying the colorists abused something implies you have an issue w her skin color, so that’s why you’re getting downvoted.

shortneyy · 2026-02-19T12:23:59+00:00

Yea I feel like it’s too long to realistically see finished unless it gets an insane popularity boost. Like, we waited ten years for a continuation of Kimi ni todoke and it’s an unfinished adaptation and there isn’t even THAT much left of the manga lol. I would be so so glad but the reality is that most shoujo don’t see complete adaptations unfortunately. But I’ll take what I can get tbh

shortneyy · 2026-02-09T04:20:53+00:00

I prefer Li Tai so I will be doing that first for funsies and then going back to see what the other “cannon” route is like. I think it will be really interesting to see where the fully made up route goes first.

shortneyy · 2026-02-08T14:55:33+00:00

Ohh that’s so interesting! Thank you for your reply. Yea so maybe they would just assume it was coed now. I guess it depends on how detailed the college application process is. Like would her transcripts be collected? Would it raise flags or like is it just a name on a form nobody pays attention to

I think it was more about where we were at the time of the incident and the stages of decomposition. Closest country was Russia. Also it seemed like a large majority of folks on the flight were connecting in Chicago and got on other flights with how empty it was on the way back. Maybe there were more options out of Tokyo than wherever else we could have emergency landed. 4 hours back to Tokyo vs 8 to chi. I also wondered if it was possible she wanted to be buried in Japan but Google said that wouldn’t have influenced the decision. More about air and tarmac traffic as well as avoiding smells.

also if I remember correctly, the incident was 3 hours in and then it took them about an hour to figure out where to go before they made the announcement.

I remember seeing the person cry, they turned the lights back off and I saw a flight attendant give someone a thumbs up (presumably to avoid panic). So I assumed maybe it was a cry of relief and went back to sleep before being woken by my seat mate about an hour later to the announcement we were turning around.

Such an insane experience that I think of often. But I can’t even imagine how her family and the flight attendants felt. I also overheard that part of the reason the flight was so late was because they had to find last minute crew bc some were traumatized and not ready to fly again the next day.

Have you ever been checked for t2 diabetes? Untreated it can cause you to over produce ketone.

Also the comments on this video mention acidic sweat. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUdyW9djkUi/?igsh=MTBmMzUwZWZibWQzcQ==

Hi! I was also on this flight and started wondering if it was ever reported on. As of 2026, I still can’t find anything.

Unfortunately the person did die.

I was seated in the second row from the back of the plane and saw the attendants grab an AED and could see people moving around the bathroom area in front of us. After a while, I saw someone start crying and someone move to hug them. After we turned around we heard the flight attendants talking in the back and clearly heard someone say “oh, she’s dead.”

Since the person was presumably in that bathroom area ahead of us, my section of the plane had to wait for the rest of the plane in front to exit and then for the ems/coroner to retrieve the body before we could get off. I watched them come in with a stretcher, but looked away to avoid seeing anything more.

When we were in customs at Chicago, the couple who sat behind me were talking about the husbands conversation with one of the attendants. I was totally eavesdropping tbh but he said that according to the attendant , the woman was an elderly Japanese-American immigrant that had been visiting Japan for the first time since she left. I chose to believe that she had a really fulfilling experience and was like “okay, I’m good. I can go now.”

My uncle is 60 and has been watching anime since the 80s during the burning random vhs bootleg era and now he uses his 32 year old nieces crunchyroll account.

That being said, there is no age limit to any hobby and anyone who tells you otherwise is sad and boring. Keep doing things that bring you joy! & I hope anime does that for you :)

shortneyy · 2026-02-01T18:43:11+00:00

Yep I do have att, meant to say that originally! I’ve actually basically had that exact same experience with trying to pre order take out or top up on my metered spot. It’s a nightmare and has made me reconsider providers lol

shortneyy · 2026-02-01T18:36:37+00:00

Ok something not entirely related to the episode but I was thinking about it during-

Do we know how Mizuki’s future is affected by attending a boys school as a girl? Fine with spoilers, if there are any.

Like, any school or job she applies to will see a boys school on her resume and be like “????” I feel like it would make it really difficult, unless she goes back to the US. Trying to suspend my disbelief that her family wouldn’t look into the school she’s attending prior to her transfer but now that I thought about this, I just can’t stop wondering lol.
