If you actually want to know what it says, in brief, it’s Char speaking to the reader saying “Hey you, person who has finished the story mode, did you think that was the end? There’s a mode where YOU can pilot the mobile suit instead of Amuro. The battles are even harder, but you can handle it.”

Now if only it was actually capable of giving consistently reliable answers….

I’m also in a reading slump so can’t help you there, but I just wanted to say that based on the shelves in the background, you have great taste in manga!

You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.

To be 100% clear:
Parents do NOT have "legitimate concerns" about trans girls on sports teams.

They have knee-jerk assumptions, made up of sexist stereotypes, that self-serving politicians and media-types have fanned into a groundless moral panic.

Trans girls playing sports hurts no one.

This is art

There is no inherent virtue in home cooking from scratch, home cooking from semi-scratch, frozen meals, take-out delivery, take-out pickup, dine in fast, dine in slow. Each comes with trade offs.

But don’t do the expensive thing and say it’s actually cheaper and more ethical. That’s all.

Every editor in chief who buried the truth about Palestine, every manager who silenced an honest voice, everyone who stood in the face of protesters and said not like this,every university administration that chose repression
over listening you are not neutral.

I think subtitles (translations) with constant minor mistakes frustrate me more than ones that are obviously awful. It’s like, yeah, it’s not completely changing the story or anything, but if your listening isn’t that good you shouldn’t do translations without a script

That’s fine, Crumbl isn’t very good

I have a Shark (and long hair) and it does alright. But I run it three times a week and have to clean the hair out every week (I also have a very sheddy dog)

Maybe just like forcing yourself to start would help? Because once I’m actually sitting at my desk I am more or less fine and get focused

I am also not a morning person. The only thing I have found motivating at all is fear lol. That’s one of the silver linings (?) of working for a company (they expect me to start by a certain time, so fear of consequences motivates me to drag myself out of bed with just enough time to get ready)

My partner: But the Pokédex says [some totally ridiculous thing]!

Me: The Pokédex isn’t lore. The Pokédex is vibes.

The better you are at a thing, the more "AI" will be a drag on your time, because it's operating at a lower level of skill than you are, and you have to fix what it does, rather than just do what you already know how to do.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Yeah, Kinokuniya Seattle is great!!

if somebody asked about my journey from whatever i was twenty years ago to what i am now, which is very left wing i guess, it is that i have experienced life. i have seen death. i have seen suffering. i wish only good things for people, and i will gladly pay taxes for it. the negation of suffering.

Most of the actual games in that game are fun, but man is all the fluff surrounding them annoying

Feline Feces (lib catturd) @kitttenn.bsky.social M dashes (the long dash) are a dead giveaway. LLMs love using them for some reason, while actual human beings have no idea how to type that into the computer. They also love sets of three, overtly parallel structure, and impersonal writing.

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD.

Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

Anime: Chihayafuru
It will make you care about competitive poem-memorizing (the manga and live action movies are good too)

Too many choices, so these are *a* manga series and *an* anime series that everyone should read/watch

Manga: Beastars
(It’s getting the full anime treatment, but I never see the manga get any love. It has a totally different vibe than the anime—and a better one imo. There are also some 番外編 volumes)

The other thing I run into in my work is figuring out whether it is actually referring to 正社員, because FTE is a very strong choice (and also you wouldn’t want to use it in many situations even if they do mean 正社員)

How does the furikake experience vary so much? Like it ranges from amazing party in your mouth, I could eat just this and rice forever, to flavorless nothing that is worse than just putting salt on your rice. Is it the quality of the ingredients??

If you care about Medicaid, I need your help. These kids are the best chance we have of saving Medicaid.

Families are on the way to DC. We need to cover van rentals and hotel rooms. I will not, I will NOT, waste your money or time.

Can you help get this donation link in front of your people?

I wanted to list some RPGs, but sadly for me they usually sit around 100-130 hours because I only complete them if it doesn’t require hours of grinding. So either I complete it in around that much time, or the reasonable stuff takes that long and then I bail

Animal Crossing (multiple)
Splatoon (multiple)
Monster Hunter (multiple)

My accomplishment for today is working through more tabs and cleaning out my email inbox
