I wonder how much information do politicians have about their voters. Assume that you were a registered Dem and became independent, would they know if that’s because they didn’t stand their ground enough for the minority, or because they went too far left for you?

Been watching The Golden Girls for a bit (my first time), but I can’t watch too many episodes in succession because I laugh too much and my jaw gets tired 🤣

There’s a certain variety of YT vids that use “science” to explain people’s behavior, and every time it’s gotta be one of those psychology “theory” that’s vague af. And this is coming from someone who does social science research in a department that studies human behavior.

I think music for me is more about a composed set of melody that can evoke emotions even without words/lyrics. Lyrics don’t take the central role in my experience but a support role, which explains why I listen to a number of j-pop (anime) songs without issues Lol

If you see this, post an anime you love.

Guess I should mention something other than World Trigger as well 🤣

As I watched through Haikyu, it also reminded me of World Trigger. If nothing else, I think their approach to the power system is quite similar. That is their power system is pretty grounded and have consistent logic.
Finished the latest movie of Haikyu. It was definitely fun but not as cathartic as some other arcs for me. The ending is pretty emotional for me tho 🥹

Hey. Vote. Systems are not in a great place rn, but it CAN get worse. Do the small but important thing to fight the break down today, and then carry that energy with you into your community and life ❤️

I’ve noticed that a lot of people are more tolerant of (or welcome) repetitiveness in games more than I do. I’m a lot less grind-tolerance these days (special thanks to Monster Sanctuary), and I kinda need a consistent progression in the game, or I’ll get bored even if the gameplay loop is fun.

Of course I end up waking up an hour earlier than the usual time anyway 😂

Start celebrating Christmas season now not because I like Christmas but because that’s how people who start celebrating Halloween season since the beginning of September make me feel.

Found this Youtube video on anime that happens to explain anime in a way that resonates with me the most by far. Beyond the animation, the means through which characters express their intentions and emotions is really what gives me the feeling of anime familiarity for me.

Realizing people have been watching real baseball games while I’m watching anime volleyball games. Very on brand of me 😌

Okay, I got really into Haikyu. And the soundtracks resonate with me, so I looked them up just to find out that the composer is Yuki Hayashi… again…

This man has me in a chokehold because every anime he made soundtracks for I ended up looking them up without fail!

Fuckkkk, season 3 is so satisfying! 😭

A student that sent me an angry email on Friday has turned on my villain mode because he responded to my email saying that he will never change his way of doing the assignments to follow our guidelines and he didn’t get caught by the previous TA, who’s my closest friend here.

With all the mega evolutions that Legeneds ZA that rolls out, there’s no mega evolution for Roserade?! Girl bye!

Steam reviews should have a “not for me” option. I want to leave reviews for some games that I don’t really enjoy even though I can see it being a good game.
