Me: I swear, it was just a fling. I was experimenting. It didn’t mean anything.

Yeah, the big difference to me is that Korok seeds did get you something useful. When I first did a challenge in mkw, and all I got was a sticker: 😐

Why would Japan use a Latin-origin word for animation? I’m happy to be corrected, but my understanding is that early Japanese manga & anime artists were heavily influenced by French cartoonists. That’s why you have Lupin, a French character, as one of the earliest touchstones

“Dessin animé” (literally “animated drawing”) is the French term for cartoon.

There’s a reason we use a French word to describe Japanese animation lol

One of the funniest moments in my college career was when a poetry professor, a very sweet old man, told me, wrt meter, “I don’t understand. You get it conceptually and are clearly trying very hard, but you still can’t do it at all.”

i think the thing people don't really understand is that it's not search which has gone to shit, not entirely. it's the internet.

It’s difficult to both recognize it for what it is and not get caught in a loop of blaming myself. But, you know, we’re working on it

And then I’m stuck, not being productive, more “irresponsible,” and it goes on and on

Thanks! Yeah, for me it’s that fear of having committed a moral transgression of not being perfectly “responsible enough” (with money, time, decisions, whatever) and the theoretical consequences (which, I will, of course, deserve)

Great article, especially the ending. I appreciate the apparent candor you were able to get from Pagliocca, but it’s hard not to wonder at this point what they can do to pull together

Idk how common the “stuckness” experience is, but personally it’s responsible for about 30% of my conversations in therapy

People have money to buy food?? From chain restaurants?? Wow, things really are going well

Well at least I can rest easy that I will never do anything to embarrass my name as much as this

Pope Leo’s first miracle

The rule exists so they can continue to sell the retro ones as well

Doesn’t work if you’re in the local market though

I really thought this meant Luka Dončić was in a Vespa ad

Wait, why? I took calc in school and just read a couple of Wikipedia pages on the economic concept of marginal utility. It seemed like a fairly intuitive concept turned into a formula. What am I missing about what this means for critical thinking?

Can’t blame you, this is brutal

Those mushroom haircuts are gonna create some hilarious results when gen z men start to lose their hair

How can we ask our children to grow up in a cruel world like this, a world where evil triumphs and the Mavericks wind up with Cooper Flagg?

The Bulls did get Rose with a 1.7% chance. They’ve had almost 20 years of not tanking and still sucking though so we’re due

Or when you finally resist overreacting to a small medical thing and then that’s the time it turns out to be a real issue 🫠

That tiebreaker cost the Bulls the No. 1 pick.

gonna start saying “is the pope from Chicago?” when someone asks me an obvious question
