  • I once saw a girl very abruptly stop walking on a rather busy street, throw herself down on a nearby bench in a hurry, take out her stuff from her tote bag and just start knitting with an oddly peaceful expression on her face as if nothing happened. I was left wondering what the fuck I just witnessed. Happened in the span of like 4 seconds.

    Yes she was barefoot.







  • I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.

    I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

    I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.

    I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

    I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

    I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

    I feed people’s pets without asking.

    I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

    I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

    I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

    I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

    I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.





  • It’s not about being forced to do all that, it’s about being forced to do all that so early in the morning in such a rush when most people would rather be sleeping. I hate mornings when I am at the office, but the WFH days are infinitely better because I get a lot more sleep and get to move at my own pace and do things at my convenience. I still have breakfast and brush my teeth, I just don’t have to do everything in 30 minutes.




  • You’re looking way too deep into it. “Sleeping with someone” is such a common expression that nobody can possibly hope to obfuscate anything with it. Everybody knows they fucked. There will be no mistakes, no confusion. Besides, it’s not unusual for different contexts to use different phrases and expressions for the same thing. The press using a “softer” language is not a uniquely American thing by a long shot and it’s kinda weird to assume it would be.

    Not an American either btw.


  • They are wholly independent from the protocol or interface. Ghosting is an electrical issue that is a result of keyboards being a bunch of switches arranged in a matrix. It makes the keyboard’s controller register an extra keypress in certain conditions. Nothing to do with how the thing communicates with the host computer.

    Key rollover issues can be related to ghosting. The limit for it is once again the keyboard’s design at the circuit level, not its communication protocol.

    Really they’re both related to how cheaply built the keyboard is. That’s the only thing.
