You know, annoying as the Gaza scams are, at least they're not porn bots. Those are far worse
disagree. A succubus hunting those controlled by lust is arguably more noble than a demon hunting those with blind, foolish, compassion.
a quick “why is my life so bad” checklist
- how’s your sleep schedule
- have you eaten or drank anything besides sugar and caffeine
- how long have you been sitting in one spot
- have you gone out in public recently
- have you taken a shower/brushed your teeth/groomed yourself properly
- have you spent time doing an activity that doesn’t involve a screen
- etc
i myself needed to be reminded of this today. the freedom of summer also means the risk of falling back into bad habits if i'm not mindful
the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function
Standard English: It’s cold, isn’t it?
Japanese: Samui desu ne?
British: It’s fuckin’ freezin’, innit?
i hate this cause i did japanese for like a year and this explains the use of the -ne particle WAYYYY better than my teachers ever did. it took me ages to comprehend what this post makes abundantly clear.
my teachers: its like a, a little rise at the end of a sentence, to show that you are seeking a response, while not warranting the -ka particle which would make it a proper question.
me: ok. i guess i get that??
this post: its like saying “innit?”
me: oh. oh no.
fun fact: afaik, "-ne" was inherited from the Portuguese settlers/priests that stayed in Japan in the 16th century. It comes from "né?", which the contraction of "não é?", "isn't it?".
It's LITERALLY "innit".
oh so like "eh" in canadian

Had a dream where mini golf was added to the Olympics. And one of the Olympic mini golf athletes lost the gold because she hit the windmill.
And she tweets with a picture of the windmill and the caption “bout to go through my Don Quixote phase” and honestly I think that’s the funniest thing my brain has ever come up with.
