good at making money, good at my job itself, and I guess my eyes

anyone know what happened to that ai “smash of pass” bot that would give incredibly detailed responses based on any picture you input??? wasn’t working for me last time i used it like a month ago

>>2603267
can confirm this because I was in elementary school during the og Pokémon card boom. We didn’t do shit with em, unlike the YGO crowd

>>2603313
Right, nobody knew the rules so everyone was trading cards and saying they could sell this card and that card on ebay for a lot of money. In the early 2000s. What we're currently witnessing is these same kids doing exactly that now that we're in our 30s. At least the excuse at the time was that the rules weren't explained eveywhere and the internet wasn't so easily accessible for everyone, and especially not for small kids. I learned the rules by playing the game on the GBC long ago after Pokemon RBY and GSC and loved it but it made recess even more frustrating because I was now the only one in the entire school who could play the card game and nobody else did.

>>2603313
I remember kids trying to play by just using the Pokémon cards only and the one with the strongest attack won by default, they didn't use any other type of card kek.

>>2603063
Nayrt but nothing you said explains why anyone spends money on these cards so I still don’t get it.

>>2603313
Same age and kids at my elementary school did play the game. I had a few cards because my father got them for free from his job but I was never able to play the TCG because the boys wouldn’t let a girl play with them. I preferred the gameboy games, but most kids at my school didn’t know those existed and only knew about the anime/TCG/merchandise. I should ask my father if he’s still got them, because I’m sure we had two or three fancy glittery Charizards. They probably weren’t this one
>>2603263
but it can’t hurt to check kek

>>2602951
They have more money than sense.

I was in the minority of kids that knew how to play, but you had to go to a game store or toys r us in order to play because they had tables and stuff. I used to go with my brother and play with decks he built. It was fun, but kinda makes me sad that all of that is gone now and all we have now are adult babies chasing nostalgia dopamine.

>>2600317
Korra was kind of a slut honestly kek, she gave off strong "I only want what I can't have" vibes throughout the show and especially in the first two seasons

>>2603453
I also agree. It's not that common but it's incredibly disappointing when the showrunners build up two main characters relationship, be it in a platonic or romantic way, show that they would die for each other, and then by the very end either character gets into a relationship with a hastily introduced or nameless background character. For what purpose im not sure but it seems like its done to intentionally shut shippers up. Shippers are the most annoying part of a fanbase but why destroy your narrative or characters for the sake of "owning" them.

>>2602956
Depends. Some of them sound more like they're super autistic about their landmines.
The ones who go hard on the moralfaggotry probably secretly like what they're complaining about because you don't need a reason to dislike something beyond "it's gross to me"

just sick and tired of the constant infantilization & hand holding that's now commonplace in fandom and creation. i've been getting into VNs more lately and came across one called "the kid at the back" that seemed promising despite being in progress until i found out the creator keeps insisting people to enjoy & view the VN exactly the way she does. i understand wanting your intentions and overall vision to be understood & honored by your audience, but getting so worked up over some people thirsting over your yandere character that driving them away from your VN essentially becoming a goal of yours is insane. like, that should never be part of your creating process whatsoever. it's genuinely so retarded to me. yanderes & dark tropes overall aren't okay in reality, but they're interesting to explore and play with in fiction anyway. and i say that as someone that experienced an equivalent of a 'yandere' before among other stuff. that and people will thirst over any and everything on here. i don't understand how dark fiction creators like her don't accept these simple truths and instead opt for giving themselves the headache of trying to control how people engage with their creations. and for this creator it's especially hypocritical and hilarious when she says the VN isn't a romance one in picrel but in her twitter bio it literally says, "The Kid at the Back is a Romantic Yandere Thriller Indie Visual Novel". i keep coming across shit like this in fandom from all angles no matter where i go or look and it always feels like i'm being lectured to by old, religious people that can't handle seeing skin without fainting. it's so bizarre.. even more so knowing said creator is around my age (20+). i know the reasons behind why fandom is the way it is today yada yada but it sincerely sucks that it's so difficult to find things/spaces/people that are inherently mature and don't undermine your intellect in any way for weird reasons. it's unserious. and tbh i might still buy and play it since i'm in love with the art style and mystery but it doesn't have that weight to it that it did to me before finding this out. like the whole VN is silly to me in a way rather than this genuine, cool thing it was apparently supposed to be. sigh

Honestly, if you're only smoking once in a while, tobacco is fine. I smoke a cigarette or two every month, it's no worse than eating a lot of fatty food or getting little sleep. You're already damaging your lungs by smoking hash, live a little and smoke some tobacco too. As long as you give thanks to the Lord, God, you will be fine. Life here is short and bitter, but in Paradise you will know no pain.

I think about this all the time. I love pot but it makes my iq drop like nothing else.

Alright I'm going to just put out some stuff that always seems to happen when I'm high (always edibles), maybe someone can give insight or something. I cpuld be talking shit or not considering other factors.

-cats like me more, and when I'm sober they really like me
-I sweat profusely, once I was really sweaty on the train and I thought it was in my head until the stranger across from me offered a tissue for me to wipe my face kek
-people I'm emotionally vulnerable to seem to mainly text me when I'm high
- I am much better at ace attorney when I'm high but outside of that i can't read, like I cant keep paragraphs of text in my head
-all I want to do when high is be left alone. But somehow people make a beeline for me, even with other around. For favours or information. To take a photo of them, give them directions, let them know when the next bus is etc
- people will also, despite me really going out of my way to stay from crowds, manage to physically inconvenience me. Yesterday i was sitting alone (and high) in front of the water, plenty of paths with plenty of access points yet this guy chooses MY path to bring his big ass kayak. He could've walked 30 seconds either way for another path. Maybe with another person there too but anyway. So I stand up to leave because its awkward and I'm pissed he picked my area and he says some stuff in a foreign language blocking my path completely. I'm like huh? Huh?? Then eventually compute he is in fact speaking a foreign language and I'm like oh i speak english then he switches to english talking about how he'll only be a few minutes and I'm like ok??? I want to leave? Bear in mind, he could've stepped to the side no problem at any point. Instead he spoke gibberish to me and i had to articulate what i was very clearly doing. If I was sober I'd be like what the fuck, but high its like these unnecessarily complicated things happen constantly.
-tech shit and routine interactions go haywire. Trams break down and have a replacement but it's at a different atop. Cashiers are unusually chatty, commenting on my items, or having issues with card payment, whatever. Im standing in a corner on the bus and one dog owner is standing to one side of me, the dog oulling across me on their lead so it's kind of blocking me. Another dog owner stands on the other side and the dog does the same leading to me being completely barricaded in and im thinking literally how common even is this situation to be inPost too long.

lately i wish i had some lolweed. Even though its very bad for me and makes me turn psycho.

Its a good argument against legalization, if i could get it in the store i would but i would never risk looking for it with a dealer, not worth the risk at all. I used to only buy it through friends who scored it but when they all left the country so never got any again and its probably the best thing to happen to me. Although i miss watching anime high and sleeping all day.

got a vape shaped like an old english pipe
terps got me droolin like pass me a wipe
surround sound, bubble vision on the TV,
layin' on the ground the feds cannot see me
i'm hitting the goop, i'm blowing the smoke
I'm breaking the shells there's blood in the yolk
i never really gave a fuck about the pope, honestly
but if the catholic dick's good, it's on with me

notice that she didn't explicitly forbid it, but didn't like he wasn't employed. I think your mother is projecting some crush she has on white boys onto you.

>>2603440
I hope you can escape, or that it all eases before we're old. some say that they youth are more secular, but I think some of them are even worse than their grandparents…

>>2603440
I'm very cynical and not particularly hopeful, but I do expect things to happen. all countries, including muslim ones, are experiencing a decline in birth rates. Ironically the more Islamic countries like iran and saudi arabia are experiencing a steeper decline and we're seeing ai super intelligence become a reality in a few short years. I truly believe this last factor could disprove the existence of religion.

>>2603216
kek!
>>2603245
This. I wonder if this might nip it in the bud, this is genuinely scary and makes me worry for your safety

>>2603444
I don't want to escape (where can I escape to anyway? No country will grant me a visa but that is besides the point.) I love my family I want to live where I can visit them every once in a while. They are all non-believers and my mom hates wearing hijab as much as I do. I don't want to leave and leave her with this shit here. Yes the younger generation is better but that's not enough. Everything is so hopeless.

>>2603455
I don't understand how a lower birth rate helps my situation. Muslim couples have more children than non-religious couples so they win in this scenario.

>>2589669
What's up with cults in Korea? I thought Japan was bad with this, and for context I'm talking about the Tokyo subway/train incident in 1995 and Shinzo Abe's assassination, but Korea is even worse.

>>2589712
rapid modernization and a populace unequipped to handle it.

for SK nonnies or nonnies fluent/proficient in Korean, what are some female-majority (I'd rather neck it than deal with hannam shitholes like ilbe) online forums that I could read for regular immersion? I'm pretty sure megalia and womad don't exist anymore, rip. I know Twitter is mostly used by women in Korea so I could read that, but I'd prefer an insular community that's entirely Korean language without the translation feature to use as a crutch, plus xitter just really distracts me.

I AM iron anon

IM ALL OUT OF FAITH,THIS IS HOW I FEEL, IM COLD AND I AM SHAMED, LYING NAKED ON THE FLOOR

When Mom and Dad went to a show
They dropped me off at grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed; said, "Please, don't go!"

Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good

Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!
Grandma, take me home! Grandma, take me home!

maybe you should introduce her to the bp ideology so she can get up to speed

>>2603333
You and me nonna, let's be each other's favorite.

I cannot for the life of me find a double vanity that is 19” deep for my bathroom renovation.

I miss when nights felt long.

>>2603333
I wonder what causes this? Just being too different? I have also felt this way my whole life.
