Damn. A week in the hospital just throws your whole life off.

Nothing makes me feel older than the fact that I can apparently read “old fashioned“ crochet patterns.

Kenneth Choi is doing a fantastic job as Ted Wassanasong. The voice is obviously different, but the performance is spot on. It’s exactly the way you’d expect Ted to speak! You can really tell he did his research.

Parent: *does something for their child*

Everyone: “If you always do that for them, they’ll never learn to do it for themselves!”

Also everyone: “I used AI to-“

Ooh. I’d been hoping for a reason to visit Yomiuriland

Me: “Ugh! It’s not fair that other people get paid to do such cool stuff!!”

Also me: *currently getting paid to enjoy my summer vacation*

Real shitty day to be an immigrant, TBH.

Americans: “Our maternity healthcare is exorbitantly expensive and everyone should empathize with our plight!”

Me: “I didn’t get an epidural because I couldn’t afford one.”

Americans: “…You don’t get a trophy for that!”

Why aren’t Craig and Greg spelled the same? Creg. Or Graig.

We need to start fighting for government funded adult catch-up vaccines. In 18 years, we’re going to have a lot of adults who need support and care. This is no longer a niche thing.

At the very least, we need to make it clear what Rubella does to pregnant people and their babies.
The pandemic absolutely pickled their brains, the percentage of Republicans who say MMR vaccine risks outweigh the benefits has more than doubled since 2020.

Every day I get closer to naturalizing here in Japan. American citizenship is so worthless we’re giving it away on reality TV.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

I really do think the Internet was better when we politely policed each other’s grammar. It literally made me a better writer when I was gently mocked for errors. Now I see people just lazily making infographics and stuff and writing “Yeah, there’s a grammar mistake! It’s ok!” Just have some pride.

OMG. Why is Bluesky all bots and people quoting AI as if it’s resear- Oh. I was on Twitter.

One week in Japan: “I must not act like a gaijin!”

One year in Japan: “Gaijin SMASH!”

Five years in Japan: “I prefer gaiKOKUjin, actually.”

Ten years in Japan: “You call my kid that word again and I’ll rip out your tongue.”

Gamer paparazzi: “AH! OBLIVION UE5 REMAKE!!”

Good lord, this is why our NDAs are so intense. Y’all can’t let us do anything.

It is entirely possible for one depiction of a character to appear autistic, and other depictions to appear allistic. Because characters aren’t real people. If you stop making them autistic, they stop being autistic.

Seems obvious, but I’ve been insulted for this opinion.

When you argue with me, this is who you're arguing with.

I hate when I reply to a reply and the top-level poster acts like I’m directly addressing them. Especially when I agree with them. Like, why we getting hostile? I’m just chatting.

I refuse to switch my Pirate Yakuza game to English for too long (mostly so I can pretend I’m studying), but I can’t deny that the dub is excellent. Obviously Matt Mercer is a great actor, but in my short time I noticed a lot of great performances, and no obvious duds.

You've been murdered. Who do you want on the case?

Me: “Oh, I see! The joke is that the villainous animal is actually surprisingly progressive and supportive of women!”

Audio commentary: “The joke is the villainous animal has a fetish for this ethnic group!”

Calling Shadow the Hedgehog “Shadow 05” makes no sense. There’s only one Shadow the Hedgehog, and Shadow of the Colossus was released in 2005.

My youngest doesn’t have a Social Security number. It wasn’t included with his CRBA and he’s a dual citizen, so I guess I just never got around to it. I recently got the stuff together for it, but…

Not now. I just… don’t trust the now.

Note to self: if the texture isn’t lined up correctly, just say it’s a “white wizard.”
