I procrastinate so much that I have a gaping hole of dread inside my chest where I think my other emotions are supposed to go. unless a potential employer is reading this, in which case I don’t do that & I have all the normal emotions that human beings have & I love capitalism

i hope luigi mangione is proven innocent & gets to sue a ton of companies for slander and win & i hope he gets enough money to rebuild his life and get any help for his chronic pain that he needs & i hope he’s able to disappear from the public eye entirely if that’s what he wants

I get why after reading the different story people see Kyoko and Mami as siblings, but by god the amount of times "oh god they're exes" went through my head on the first read destroyed that reading for me

Your honor, your honor they're the simple tragedy of falling out, your honor they're simply girls who had an argument and never had a chance to apologize, your honor they're simply exes who parted ways and never spoke with each other until they're dying breath, your honor please listen to me, they simply don't get to explain it to each other, they simply leave the other on their own not to hurt them, your honor, they are exes who from the bottom of their heart want to get back together, but they don't, circumstances never allowing it

Your honor, they're simply exes who never got together

Nexus Mods was acquired by Chosen, a company focused on growth and monetization of gaming startups.

Reddit thread

Dark0ne, creator and ex-owner of Nexus Mods, stepped down today in an update post:

NexusMods post

Users on Resetera were able to found out more about this sudden change of ownership:

Resetera thread

Victor Folmann, CEO of Chosen, published this "Gaming Startup Monetization Cheat Sheet" on his LinkedIn

Link to the post

Users are already sharing their fear of NexusMods allowing more bigoted mods in the future, and taking down inclusive ones to follow the current "anti-woke" trend in the gaming industry

Reseta threada bout their change in moderation concerning bigoted mods following Oblivion Remastered launch

Another User, this time on NexusMods forum, noticed queer and inclusive mods being removed following Dark0ne's post

Link to the forum post

It is also worth mentioning that Chosen and its CEO are seen using AI generated images on their website (including generated images depicting Tracer from Overwatch) hyping up ChatGPT on his Linkedin account, and are including "rewarding gamers with crypto money"

Users speculate that Chosen buying out NexusMods is to potentially train an AI model that generates mods

Today, a place name! And it's a wet one too! This apartment building is named GRAND EGGS 桜上水 【さくらじょうすい】. Sakura Jōsui is a neighborhood in Tokyo, and Grand Eggs is.…….. anyone's guess.

桜 means cherry tree, cherry blossom, or cherry. It’s read さくら, オウ, or ヨウ. It's made up of the tree radical 木 next to a woman 女 wearing the tsu-crown ⺍ (named because it looks like ツ).

上 means up, above, or raise. See here for readings broken down by meaning.

水 means water. It's read みず or スイ.

Also, vocab! Outside of names, 上水 【じょうすい】 means tap water or water supply. In the interest of symmetry, you should also know that 下水 【げすい】 means sewage, drainage, or ditch. You can also add 道 【-どう】 road/path to either: 上水道 means waterworks and 下水道 means sewer system.

Also, outside of names and civil engineering, 下水 can also be read したみず, in which case it can mean water flowing underneath (♫♫♫) or one's true feelings. OR it can also refer to the water radical at the bottom of a character—for example, on the bottom right in 緑 green. The bottom water radical sometimes looks like 水 but sometimes more like 氺. I’m not totally clear on the specifics tbh, but I can promise you that life will be easier if you recognize both!

quaker oats is disgusting and I will go out of my way to never eat anything made by them again. they kept at least one factory so disgusting that when the FDA said Hey you need to actually follow health regulations (in response to a MASSIVE fucking recall due to contamination that made a ton of people sick, and anecdotally myself and several people I know got sick from food that was NOT recalled) they said actually it would be too hard to follow health regulations and SHUT THE FACTORY DOWN INSTEAD

AND THEY TARGET SO MANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AT CHILDREN

The sentences "Asexuals can still have sex" and "Aromantics can still date" need to go up on the high shelf for everyone except aces and aros talking about their own experiences. From now on, everyone else has to use the revolutionary new phrase "Asexuals and aromantics can do whatever the fuck they want forever."

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

The number of whites that treat AAVE like simlish instead of an actual dialect with specific rules, etc. is maddening actually
