Lord of the Rings: Return of the King premiere in Wellington as a student

That's about it lol, I suppose Avengers: Endgame counts because we were one of the first countries to show it due to the timezone?

Yeah and I feel like it'd be easier making a bulk amount as a team, which was what they had to do.

There were times I'd think, "It's just one thing, I can ignore it and keep reading" but every single time there would be other tiny little tells that make me ditch the story!

When I first read about it I thought they meant jelly like fruit-flavoured agar or gelatine jelly, and wondered why people would eat that combination on a sandwich. I wonder if Japanese kids would think the same, like jelly = konnyaku jelly or something 😂

—AND OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT TO PASTE THE LINK INTO EVERY HAIKYUU (AND OTHER FIC FEATURING JAPANESE PEOPLE LIVING IN JAPAN) WHERE SOMEONE MAKES PB&J AS A REGULAR SNACK. IT'S SUCH A MASSIVE PET PEEVE!!! YOUR CULTURE IS NOT UNIVERSAL!!!

I'm following this random middle-aged Japanese guy who lives in North Carolina, mostly because I like how his videos are just him doing regular things and comparing the norms of how stuff is done in the US vs. Japan.

Today he ate a PB&J and mentioned how it's very American and not at all Japanese—

I particularly appreciate the commentary about how prominent codpieces are more historically accurate than boob armor.

the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it

Also I half-repent from saying HSR has too many female characters because ENDFIELD IS WORSE AND THEIR OUTFITS ARE EVEN MORE IMPRACTICAL, CLEARLY DESIGNED FOR THE CISHET MALE GAZE BECAUSE AS SOMEONE WITH TITS IT IS NOT COMFORTABLE TO HAVE THEM BOUNCING THAT MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! WEAR A SPORTS BRA FFS

I'm saying it so much about all the NPCs in Endfield who keep bugging the Endmin to do every little thing for them like fr you people really can't do anything!!! Also Friday cannot come soon enough, HSR 4.0 pls save me from the grind that is Endfield.

One of my casual resolutions this year was to not say "skill issue" do much but unfortunately I have pivoted to saying "omg you people can't do anything" so I guess that's one resolution failed already

Stop telling racists to love people of color because they already love ethnic food lol

Stop being like, “Did you know tacos are Mexican and rum is Caribbean???”

They know.
