Legendary Item: A package of food where the expiration date and the batch/machine ID number are the same

some of my greatest ideas come to me right as I've shut the computer off, put the phone down, and gotten into bed

not many people know this but when talking about your multiple pronoun-using friend you build up a combo meter for every subsequent unique pronoun you use

personalized ads are so funny to me

'hey we've been spying on you and tracking your every move. it's a culmination of state of the art technology and an unprecedented invasion of consumer privacy. a room full of men with made up jobs bent their will toward decades of constructing this system, defending it in court, and tirelessly innovating new ways to aggregate more data about you'

and the end result is

'yeah so uh we saw that you recently bought a car. so here's an ad for that car'

like no i'm good actually. you might be aware that i already have one

"I want to trust you, but I can't": A tragic, yet very common vehicle for a third-act rift between characters. If the reader doesn't know the untrustworthy character's motives, they might see them as less sympathetic and easier to rationalize as an antagonist

"I want to trust you, so I will, despite it all": HOOOLY MOLY this is a gut-wrenchingly bittersweet phrase! When used well, it allows the reader to sympathize with both parties involved. Helps dispel both the frustration of a character having naïve, blind faith in someone undeserving of it, and the dissatisfaction of a character leaving someone behind when they begin showing hints of dishonesty.

#i need to see more of this in stories

The reason they're not adding new states to the US anymore is that they'd have to rename one of the streets in Washington D.C. and they're running out of avenues. Ohio Drive was already a bit of a stretch we can't fit any more unless we drain the Potomac River and build more city there.

whatever flopes your bope

I've picked up the phrase "That's a big word for Elmo" from one of the streamers I watch, but because I just happen to already know a lot of long English words, I almost never get to use it normally. So now it's my go-to phrase whenever I'm having trouble transposing a particularly complex Kanji in Japanese because I don't know any of the readings so I have to construct the Han character itself radical-by-radical.

#i say “transpose” instead of “transcribe” because i'm not writing down spoken japanese #i'm just transferring written japanese from one place to another and i can't directly copy and paste it

i think we need copyright reform. currently most works are protected by copyright for the life of the author plus 70 years. here are my two proposals.

18 years. this is enough time for the work to grow to adulthood and begin to care for itself

life of the author + zero years. i like this one because it encourages you to kill people

Citations could be so awesome without copyright. Imagine just being able to click on a footnote and it takes you to the exact section of another book being quoted. Imagine how much that would do for stemming misinformation.

Get yourself a friend who will put in the effort to format your subtitles so that they match the bicolor design elements of your OC

essential question. how do u feel about new rin penrose orisong

There could not have been a better way to capture Rin's new "Idol Newscaster from Space" form.

Miscellaneous thoughts:

Rin is such a great lyricist, and there's a lot of substance to the lyrics of "Cold Open" as they relate to stuff like her separation from Brave Group and the decision to get a redesign.

Rin has mentioned before that it's hard to find songs to cover that fit her vocal range. But when she finds (or in this case, makes) a song that fits her range perfectly, she has a really cool singing style

"Dah dah dah dah dah da-da-da-daaaah~"

I always appreciate when vtubers let the people working on the instrumental put a little EDM breakdown in there, but holy shit, it blew my mind when someone in the Rin Chillzone Discord showed me that over top of the drumstep bit, Rin's actually singing the Westminster Quarters, AKA the song that plays from pretty much every clock tower when the hour strikes.

"Do you believe in someone like- DO YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING LIKE ME"

The use of the UK test signal in the instrumental inspired me to put a bunch of telephone dial tones in a song I'm working on
