“The best translations into English do not, in fact, read as if they were originally written in English. The English words are arranged in such a way that the reader sees a glimpse of another culture’s patterns of thinking, hears an echo of another language’s rhythms and cadences, and feels a tremor of another people’s gestures and movements.”

— Ken Liu, Translator’s Postscript to The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin

When the caffeine and 8 hours of sleep and two antidepressants and ADHD meds all align perfectly, it's 9 am forever and I'm finally locked in, I'm not locked in here with you - you're locked in here with me.

We want Flawed Female Characters! No, not THOSE flaws. 😕 Those aren't sexy, COOL flaws. You know, the ones that I don't think actually SHOULD be considered flaws, that I might even feel personally judged for. The "unjustly martyred by the court of public opinion" kind of flaws. So like a "flawed" woman who's actually kind of a Saint in a way. I didn't want, like, FLAW flaws. What she did was WRONG and that makes her a BAD PERSON, and how can you justify that? If you still like her after what she did, that makes YOU a Bad Person too. Ugh, disgusting. 😕 But anyway, WHY isn't anyone writing flawed female characters?

there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:

(picture is a reconstruction to protect the kids identity)

interesting! they're trying to trick the AI by watching videos that have a primarily adult viewer demographic? well im a curious fella so naturally i have to take a look-see, and

[anosci]

im simultaneously amused at the perception of what kids think adults watch, fascinated that they're thinking to take these measures, and saddened that theyre forced to live in a stupid digital panopticon

the new york times has such a great series of elevated butter noodles, if you ever want a super fast easy dinner that still feels grown up and you can emulsify pasta water + butter together basically the sky is your limit

ya got

gochujang butter noodles

peanut butter noodles

chili crisp fettuccine alfredo

miso butter noodles

any one of these + a bag of salad or whatever vegetable side you find easiest/cheapest, and you've got yourself a full meal that tastes far above the effort you put in.

Idk who has to hear this today but sometimes the devil doesn’t need an advocate. Sometimes the devil is already winning

[teaboot]

Saying this as a recovered devil’s advocate btw, that bitch didn’t need my help he just wanted the exposure

hold on....

Do people actually not know what "playing devil's advocate" is supposed to be for???

It is not that thing trolls do where they play both sides to fuck with people, or any other deception tactic.

Devil's advocate is when you make an argument you strictly do not agree with, and everyone present us supposed to know that's what you're doing, because it's like a roleplay training session.

You imagine what you'd say if you were your enemy, in order to brainstorm the counterpoints you would make against all of *those* points. A debate team agrees to do this as a mental exercise, it's not meant to just be sprung on people.

Everyone knows this is its original meaning right?? :(

[behindnightmaresanddreams]

nobody knows anything actually.

You know when you’re on self destruction day 8 and it gets so fucking boring it’s almost unreal how boring it becomes honestly…. It used to feel so naughty and clandestine and now it’s like….. 👍🏽 Cool tomorrow let’s go on a nice two hour walk get our mind right deep clean house grocery shop listen to sweet affirmations read exfoliate play instrumentals in the kitchen while we cook. And it’s not like a desperate plan it’s just like it’s actually more exciting to live the Other Way. Even if it doesn’t answer every existential qualm I have at once it makes it all nicer. I want to swim and suntan. I want to restock my mango kefir

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.
