Had a dream where I went to an Area15/jungle gym type of place for a family member’s birthday. The play area was huuuge, and had many paths and rooms like a maze. My sister was there too. Everything was going pretty well until someone decided to propose a game. It involved hiding a bag containing Mr. Garrison’s left testicle somewhere in the premises and everyone else has to go find it. I was picked for such a task, and had to go hide this bag before everyone else finishes counting to 30 and go finding me. I ended up finding a shrine like structure and placed the bag there. I then proceeded to the nearest set of stairs, but heard my sister’s voice chatting with her friend ahead, so I ran to the opposite direction into another flock of stairs. I literally parkour’d my way upward and I see my sister with her friend. She didn’t suspect a thing when I went past her. I decided to see where she was going while keeping my distance. My aunt then showed up around the corner and they had a seemingly fun conversation. Other party goers also joined into that group too. I started to feel left out and wondered if it was worth continuing this game. Eventually, I went down and got to a dark and rave-y area with neon and flashing lights, and was just wandering for a bit. Then out of nowhere, my sis and her friend was right there by my side, and pinned me to the ground for no good reason. The friend started taking embarrassing pictures of me and blackmailed me into telling them the bag’s location. They even went was far as making up a story of me grooming a minor. Before I could say anything, the alarm clock woke me up

“日本国内での記録的な米の不作により発生してしまった「タイ米騒動」から10年以上が経ったが、未だにタイ米を「美味しくないコメ」と思っている日本人が多いのではないだろうか？そして、昨今の焼酎ブーム。沖縄特産「泡盛」の原材料の多くはその「タイ米」である事実を一体どれだけの日本人が知っているのであろうか？ 　「タイ米騒動」当時、タイ米に適した炊き方や食べ方が一切紹介されず、タイ米を日本米の代替品として食べた日本人が、タイ米の本来の美味しさを知ることがなかったのは当然であろう。ただ、その一部の日本人がタイ米の本来の味を知らぬままにタイ米をけなしたことは、甚だ不本意なことであり、日本人と同じ“コメ食文化”のタイ人にとっては、「マイペンライ」では済まされない事態であった。日本人が自国の米に誇りを持っているように、タイ人もまた同様である。それを誤った認識のもとにけなされてしまったのだから、タイ人としては納得のできないことであっただろう。同じ“コメ食文化”人として、互いの米文化に尊敬の念をいだけることをタイ・バンコク在住の一日本人として心から願うばかりである。 　それではここでタイ米の正しい炊き方、美味しい食べ方を紹介したいと思う。 　伝統的なタイ米の炊き方に「湯とり法」という方法がある。日本米とは炊き方が全く異なるので、参考までに… 1.　鍋にサッと洗った米と大量の水を入れて 　　蓋をして一気に煮立てる。 2.　煮立ったら、蓋を取ってしゃもじでかき混ぜ、 　　軽く芯が残っている 　　“アルデンテ”状態になったら、 　　湯を捨てる。 3.　鍋に再び蓋をして、 　　弱火にかけて数分蒸す。 　タイ米の特徴は、米の粘りが少なく、“パラパラ”していることだ。タイ米は、水分の浸透性に長けており、また粒離れも良く、スープなどと合わせても形がくずれにくい。タイでは米をスプーンで食べるのが普通であり、箸では食べることはまず無い。つまりタイ米はタイの炒飯やカレーなどのタイ料理には勿論、日本料理であれば雑炊、西洋料理であればバターライスなどを作る際にも適した米なのである。 　日本米には日本米ならではの、タイ米にはタイ米ならではの魅力、特性がある。お互いの特性を知り料理によって使い分けることで、より美味しい米料理を楽しむことができるのではないだろうか。”

there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:

I had a dream where i gained the ability to swim on the ground. I was swimming around all corners of my house, from the first floor office to upstairs in my room. I eventually swam my way up to my parent’s bedroom and did like ten laps. I went up to the bed to lay down and take a load off. After a while, i noticed something scurrying on the floor. It was a scorpion, and it started taking a pose ready to attack after it noticed me on the bed. I went pale and froze on the spot. It eventually scurried under the bed. I also noticed more scorpions scurrying into the bed, and ran out of the room as fast as i could. I called my mom saying there was a scorpion infestation in the room. She didnt take me seriously, but did say we had scorpion killing spray in the downstairs cabinet. I went down to take the can and proceeded to kill every scorpion i see. After the deed was done, i checked around my body to see if i was okay. I lifted my shirt and noticed three purple black spots on my belly. They must’ve gotten me while i was swimming in the bedroom. I called mom again, and told her i got stung. Again, she didn’t take me seriously and even started laughing at loud saying i am making it up. I then woke up to me shouting “NO I AM NOT” at the same time

Had a dream where an invisible animal calle an “opposite dog” went loose in town. It was a dog bear hybrid that can only be seen with special telescopes, and only lingers in light. It could try to go to darkness, but it prefered strongly lit areas. I was in my house just chilling when suddenly, an old high school friend rushed into my house unannounced. She was being chased by an opposite dog and told me we had to turn off all the lights before it could come in. It was close to sunset so the creature was still out there approaching my house. We werent fast enough, and the creature entered in by slamming the door open. Me and my friend tried hiding in the darker areas of my house, and sprnt a few hours evading neing eaten alive. After some time has passed, the creature took off and i came back to the living room all cluttered.

At one point, i went downtown, and the opposite broke loose there too. I went on top of a vehicle as i saw people running from a corner, and a man near a light post was being attacked by the creature

Had another dream of childhood crush after a while. I was minding my own business in my study doing my usual calligraphy stuff. When i stepped out for a bit, i was greeted not only by CC, but his little brother and mom was there too. We spent the night catching up in life. CC was telling ghost stories, then we watched cartoon network broadcasted from the philippines for some reason
