I learned it's easier to learn verbs in their ない form first, vs. their dictionary form first. Makes recognizing the difference between Godan and Ichidan verbs 100% easier and removes the need to "remember" the "hidden/fake/lying" verbs that parade as the other verb type. The trick to doing it is far easier and I hate how Genki teaches it in the book. Leaving me with only having to learn the conjugation patterns for Ichidan, Godan, and Irregular verbs. Far, far easier.

There’s something icky about performative cleanliness

TikTok is full of millennial gray, competitive hygiene, and bleach. It stinks!

"... warning people against conflating cleanliness with morality." "Performative cleaning is 'when we clean or keep house in order to become someone, to become that woman who has it together and feels so peaceful and so happy, instead of recognizing that who I am right now is worthy or caring for'"

Gym rats out there. Kudos for the gains (really). We know we know your lifestyle is very focused and it's about the aesthetics. We know you're confident and you're feeling yourself with your fake nails and pearly white chompers and all of that bubbling positivity. But could you get a stylist? All of the juices are going towards getting swoll and you must not have enough bandwidth to dress yourself... case in point as pictured. Essentially you just replaced your sports bra and leggings for the same thing... we know you want to accentuate and want to show off your gains. However, someone needs to tell you that you have no sense of fashion.

Western versus Asian female aesthetics. Likely shaped by the Kardashians, westerners wants a big booty and thicc thighs and a thin waist. Culturally appropriated clearly. While Asians want to their bodies to be like teeny bopper Kpop idols, e.g. stick legs and subtle derrière. Bronzed versus pale. Va-va-voom versus the cute-and-sexy combo. What do you like?

[...] the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'aww!'

Kim Keon Hee's Hairline It could be that she is wearing a wig. But I think this may be her real hair and that she draws a black line to make her forehead/face appear smaller. Receding hairline could be a reason as well.
