^i know right that too i have noticed people love to hear cannon things about you so you can fit their narrative of what they want their communication or relationship with them to be and then refuse to accept the possibilities that hey might not be right about you lol

idk i feel very concerned about a lot of stuff right now but also happy and i think it is conflict and its gonna mess me up in some way

when will dark post more news on the news and updates page

dude i was watching this show about paranormal stuff and creepy videos and they had this one guy some im so cool gamer bro dude on there and the creepy thing happened a door slammed or something and he screamed and the best way i can describe the sound is like a little old lady i laughed so much i love watching too cool 4 you gamer dudes embarrass themselves or get embarrassed by stupid stuff makes me and my heart smile very very happy

Opened Netflix and scrolled for 40 minutes before realizing I will never like anything on this platform. I feel like a teenager who keeps on checking the cupboard for new food every five minutes. Trying to legally watch anything made more than fifteen years ago is impossible.
Never again, back to piracy I guess.

today is saturday but i thought it was friday agh

^i am now thoroughly not prepared for a monday

how is your monday so far

it was not as bad as i thought it would be so i was pretty happy about that i got through some difficult stuff and wound up okay

Every Korean model on Instagram scares me because all of them look like porcelain dolls using 20 players of filterd

^i feel like thats just models on instagram period not limited to just koreans lol

^While it's true Instagram models all look samey, Korean (and Chinese) models are next level. Like generally western models still want to maintain some realism, but you will see a tonne of asian models that look like full on cartoon characters due to the sheer amount of editing. Asian beauty standards in general are insane compared to the west, I was looking at an asian family members graduation photos and their skintone was edited lighter by like five shades lmao.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people (Americans) say they're embarassed to like anime or some other broad form of asian media. My brother in christ, your country produced Riverdale.

^ah nevermind i dont agree with that but okay i just think beauty standards are way too high worldwide and i dont like to cherrypick certain peoples

in other news i i accidentally ate some pecans today…………………………………….!! i am allergic to most nuts and although it could be woooooorse like an almond or something which could kill me i am comfortable with saying i am moderately to severely uncomfortable because of it now lol aaaaaaaaaa

Ngl I get self conscious whenever I go inside a boba shop because I don't want to look like a Kevin Nguyen or a valorant eboy. Even when it comes to talking about anime I have to talk about normie stuff like jojo's because madoka magica gives me weird looks when they Google it

life is too short for peer pressure, everyone just be yourself



unless you’re an a hole, then be better

…

fr, of all the “weird” anime out there, few justify themselves as well as madoka magica. there’s no reason anyone should feel weird about watching it unless they’re watching it for weird reasons. i get that at first glance it might be a head scratcher—that’s the point—but anyone who can’t be bothered to figure out what the appeal is to non-freaks is probably not someone whose approval is worth attaining.

i hate being called half asian shut up im asian and funny enough fellow asians never had said that to me just white people lol

i was wondering what all these chew marks i just came home to on my sofa were danny……….

Not trying to start another war, just like hear me out on this necrotic website. Just a thought relating to this type of race percent card stuff.

When playing the race card on any subject relating racial culture while not even understanding or really inclusive when it comes to that specific culture, it will make you sound entitled like a white person going "I'm part native american soo? My word stands". Especially if you forget the other person on the other end of the culture argument is also not white and was probably raised in that culture (thus knowing more than a tumblr twitter outsider a lot of the time).

Like it doesn't always matter the race or percentage, it matters if you have a cultural understanding with that background within your veins. IE I'm mostly white in my blood, but I have a smidge of Native American in me. Doesn't I can over talk more blooded natives that actually practice their reclaimed culture. If anything it means I may be a historical product of racially breeding out Native Americans as that was a thing in USA past where they would try to race merge and breed out a race of people deemed "not people" at the time (That was a thing and you can look it up. Google and Bing are great tools.). Or just my Ancestor said "Fancy that" when looking at another human being at the time.

But this is of course me thinking about racial cultures and who gets a say in them. Now if it's other races issues it would be different.

^the entitled white people ARE my problem i am (breaking things down simply) french/japanese none of my japanese friends ever say “oh well your only half blah blah” the only people who ever gave me a problem are white people and people who are well… not japanese and shouldnt have a say in the matter. i grew up on things like NHK japanese books and television music other forms of media and so on so forth with all of my interest in that so-called half of my culture and my english was is will always be hindered by my growing up speaking a mix of so many different languages was always taught by my asian “100 percent” father to never let anyone call me half or make me feel any less because his culture was my culture and my heritage is my own. i likewise dislike the grouping of all asian cultures together like just because im japanese doesnt mean i understand what its like to be say indonesian and some who is chinese or something cannot tell me what its like or what counts as being japanese we all have our own backgrounds and cultures and i think people neeed to understand that.

always been more in tune with my japanese half too my french family never liked me all much and mother eventually left me so i just went all in

not totally sure we are on a different page im a little tired i might not have understood your post so sorry if i went some weird direction but it sounds like your statement comes down to “the percentage doesnt always matter” which is exactly what i said in my post.

my addition to that just now is just because someone else is of asian decent doesnt mean they understand the cultures of other asians we have our own stories and heritage.

what i meant is that i dont like being called less then what i am when i grew up in a culture and in a family that whites and non japanese couldnt comprehend if they have not experienced it themselves. like having white people or whatever try to tell me about my culture. its like mansplaining but culture race or ethnicity themed

^^^^ just to be clear i am so not sure i replied to that the way i should have and just wanted to be clear like the comment wasnt directed at starting a fight or anyone on this site some random racist dude on reddit made a comment at me like “well your only half japanese so you dont really count” to which another legit japanese user backed my point up on and it was just stuck in my head for some reason today so i left that as a little random thought

Complaining about how we never used algebra outside of school and in real life is complaining for the sake of complaining tbh. Teachers know that we will never use random algorithms but the reason why we learn them is for us to use our brains. Using our brains to practice abstract thinking makes us understand the outside world easier and let's it get smarter.

^how much did you get paid to say that?

my head never felt like it was gonna pop today which is good especially given how bad last night turned out but i found myself thinking……………….. why is it so whiplash with people sometimes like I HATE YOU and then the next day hey you wanna chill and hangout and stuff

about to check in on my dragon pngs after several days im sorry babies i bet youare so hungry

I'm jewish but I still listen to Kanye.
edit: I don't know why I post so much about Kanye in this thread. I didn't even like Donda.

^are you? i would like to here your thoughts on why Kanyes opinions or whatever nonsense he is on about dont effect you or dont mess up your enjoyment of his music. i have…. Jewish family ! (?)…. but they dont listen to Ye so i cant really ask

I posted that mostly jokingly as I relistened to XTCY, but I have posted here before that I think Kanye is very clearly experiencing psychosis or something similar. Anti-semitism was already pretty heavily on the rise, I think his behavior is more of a symptom of a societal shift in thinking than an actual cause. I pretty much don't mention my heritage anywhere anymore, it's way too iffy in this current climate. I'm lucky I'm secular and have an anglo last name so you can't tell, but it has also made me feel very conflicted on identifying as jewish while not feeling jewish enough. Everything feels very divided between extremes atm and that's not Kanye's fault.

^yeah i get what you mean i think that makes sense too Ye is definitely having an episode and people taking it so seriously and like this isnt pretty much expected of him is kind of weird… doesnt justify it but for me its hard to take so seriously when hes clearly at least to me having a bit of a mental breakdown and yeah anti-semitism was definitely on the rise pre-Ye acting the fool. definitely feel you on keeping your heritage to yourself i purring hr lied about mine for ten years just to avoid the problems it caused me i only just recently have been trying to mature passed that.

I've been playing Pokemon Scarlet for the first time the past couple weeks, I really enjoy the game but that's not the point.
What is though is that the game keeps track of how many shiny Pokemon you've battled. The game is telling me that I've battled 1 shiny Pokemon; but I don't have any shiny Pokemon nor do I remember battling one. So I can't stop thinking about the shiny Pokemon that I must have run into at some point and never noticed.

I saw a post about one of my favourite songs being in some American football ad and it's ruining it for me. All I think about when hearing it is "BILLY BOB WAS A BOY FROM NASHVILLE, TEXAS. HE RODE TRACTORS ALL DAY AND SHOT RACCOONS, BUT CAN HE MAKE IT TO THE TOP?." *footage of children shooting raccoons transitions to football men wrestling for ball*

Watching a video about creepy internet videos and seeing a girl excited to be a cheerleader and dressing up. Then dying to a gas explosion

this is one of my fav images from the corner



i wish websites still did stuff like this!

That's a fear too I always hear stuff like "x place beginning trail of having robot workers" and I hope it never becomes mainstream
Human error is a real thing but so are programming errors and glitches and bugs

Is Ai being hacked a valid fear or is that mostly just fiction bs

Depends on what you mean by hacking. I think hacking into ai is a pretty big concern rn.

You can hack traffic lights and mess up traffic badly. People also hack self driving cars too and mess them up. If you mean like making a chat ai evil probably not idk. A lot of ai rn is just training them to learn and even training them to avoid vulnerabilities to not get hacked so there's probably no evil mode. But that also means there could still be vulnerabilities.

I could also be bsing lol. I'm only like 1 week in my ai class at school

Have any of you guys heard about the Marines who hid under a cardboard box to fool a human-detecting AI?

The full story is even crazier lol - one of them disguised themselves as a fir, others somersaulted into it, all three were never detected by the robot.

That's exactly the fallacy of AI that's not really intelligent, just overtrained - it's expecting a guy running at it with camouflage, not human creativity. Now apply that to life or death situations or just look at the Tesla car stuff...

Ya gal is Diamond Sparx now! :0 I was like "something looks different," lol...

I kinda think it's weird that cyberpunk settings are still based off the 80s concept of the future with the post red war scares. Especially when it comes to japan being a big superpower in the future so everything is weeby even tho Japan died down as a superpower in the 90s. Which is why cyberpunk needs to be more ccp instead.
