“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

Happy for people who like to see queerness in characters without that specific brand of queer, but you also got to understand that it's just a personal fanon thing and accept that canon is very different and you shouldn't get mad when canon goes a different route than what you planned in your head.

Sometimes, a character is just canonically traditionally straight and that's okay; don't throw a temper tantrum about it when they get into canonical straight relationships.

kind of embarrassing to play a game that your friend recommended it’s like. ohh i’m pregnant with your game. i’m playing and it’s yours

[yurimartyr]

i don't think it's like that at all.

My hot anime take is that the English dubs sound so off because the cadence and mannerisms of English and Japanese are so different, it's just really, REALLY hard to translate them well.

[thefencebeetle]

I think it also comes from English dubs trying to reproduce Japanese mannerisms instead of adapting them (although that can be close to impossible depending on the source).

The best dub I’ve ever heard is for Cowboy Bebop, it’s very realistic, almost no mannerisms, and it works extremely well.

[emeraldmercury]

English dubs used to be good until simulcasting became common practice, so now most English dubs just ditto translate the subtitles without bothering to sound natural.

I remember when Oshi no Ko’s dub came out I was correcting the dialogue as I was watching it… which was a very bad sign.

[marril96]

This would explain why I can't watch them. I could never put my finger on why they sound so wrong to me. That plus I'm still burned from the censorship that dubs used to be full of back in the day.

[emeraldmercury]

Exhibit A of what anime dubs used to look like before simulcasting vs now:

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

[dreamsy990]

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

[dreamsy990]

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls

[dreamsy990]

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself

[riflebrass]

It boggles the mind that teens these days know less about computers than your average boomer.

"I hate when the skeletons on decorations aren't anatomically accurate." A Halloween skeleton isn't the same as what's inside you, idiot. It's different. A Halloween skeleton is, like. A guy or something. It's an animal.

[c3rvida3]

If Halloween skeletons had bones like ours instead of hollow bones like that of a bird, they wouldn't be able to play their ribcages like xylophones. You sound so fucking uneducated right now.

one thing I have noticed in general human discourse is that a lot of people will notice a problem and then be extremely surprised that it isn't instantly being fixed after identification

"why hasn't this guy been arrested?" idk do you know where he is this very second

"why haven't mods banned this guy?" idk did you report him

"why hasn't this bug been fixed?" idk have you filed a bug report

things take time to triage, plan, fix, and integrate. identification is the first step of a multi-step process. notification to those capable of implementing a fix is the second step and a LOT of people simply skip it and go straight to complaining. past that it is a complex web of established processes to get it fixed and you have every right to complain when those processes are broken. but you have zero right to complain when you refuse to do the legwork to even indicate to the powers that be that a problem exists!!
