🤗 i dont like this emoji. this is not a hug to me. this is someone doing condescending jazz hands in my general direction when i am in need of affection. not comforting.

🫂 i love this emoji. this is a hug. we are hugging and its nice. and as a special bonus they appear to be my old friends from the msn messenger logo? very comforting.

musta on aina hauskaa kun jossain julkisilla paikoilla on ohjeita näkyvillä sekä suomeks että englanniks ja niiden puhuttelusävyt on ihan erilaiset kielestä riippuen

englanniksi on aina sellanen yli-imelä, tuttavallinen kehotus: “dear passengers, would you please be so kind to present your ticket to the conductor for inspection. if you don’t have a valid ticket you may be removed from the train :( thank you very much for your cooperation and have a nice day :)”

ja sitten suomeksi on joko semmonen kylmän viileä passiivi tai

“LIPPU ON ANNETTAVA KONDUKTÖÖRILLE. JOS EI OLE NIIN OSTA SAATANA MEILLÄ ON OIKEUS HEITTÄÄ PUMMIT ULOS”

Kinda surprised how many different animals can be black and tan

Some time ago (I think in 2021) I had to go see a neurologist over really scary symptoms that resembled seizures. I was a nervous wreck about what I was feeling and had barely slept all week, which seemed to be apparent to the doc’s assistant when I sat down in the exam room for questioning or whatever. Dude was pretty young and soft spoken, around my age. He was laser focused doing something on one of those tablet-laptop Surface things as I spoke, presumably writing down my symptoms.

Midway through talking about my symptoms my voice audibly started shaking as I was describing them, clearly upset.

In the middle of my monologue he turns the tablet to face me, closes whatever program he has open and the wallpaper is this fucking collage of pictures of lord farquaad from shrek, lovingly decorated. Dude just sat there placidly smiling at me until I noticed and stopped dead in the middle of a sentence. We sat there in silence like this for like a solid minute before I started wheezing laughing. Before I could even say anything else or process it he picked up the tablet and wordlessly left the room, and I just sat there dumbfounded until the doctor showed up. 10/10 doctor experience tbh

I didn’t own a cell phone at the time to get a photo so this rendition from memory is all I can provide you

Happy Juhannus to my international followers!
