A Long Nosed Fish

In honor of filling out one whole stamp book in 2025 while puttering around the inaka like some sort of vagrant, I'd like to hand out awards for my favorites 🧵

@itssmoli @RFRyo_ I saw it on a restaurant tv last week and the guy they were following was just harassing young women on the street trying get them to bring him home so he could "learn local cooking"

@RFRyo_ You don’t want to be on this show. They edit it to make you look like an idiot

There’s a camera crew following a white dude around for this tv program at this idol fes event lol

@KarlSorrells @StatisticUrban Subsidizing diet soda and not subsidizing the normal stuff might actually lead people who are going to drink soda no matter what to pick a "healthier" option This might be financially beneficial to the healthcare industry as a whole

@StatisticUrban I don’t really care but why would the government pay for something with no nutritional value?

Allowing rotisserie chicken but banning soda from SNAP. Not really sure what that says about our current moment. I would personally at least like an exception for sugar-free soda.

I think it's not fair how I can go into a "western music bar" in nowheresville Niigata and have good conversations about a variety of topics but if a Japanese person goes into a jpop bar anywhere in the west they'll want to end it all

@BIMBOSATTVA_ Wait until they find out that y'all is a contraction

English as a Second Language people are so funny because they're like "Thank god you guys have a plural form of 'you' because you guys don't have a plural form of 'you'" like alright I guess

@PoltFan69 I know zoomers are used to this but it's *so* weird to me that a major distributor is just putting this on main now. Even when I would wake up at 3am bleary-eyed and turn on adult swim as a teenager could I see something this bad

"Yeah I could never watch anime that shit is so fucking weird" Meanwhile:

@teortaxesTex Intervened the price all the way back to early March wow I sure feel success coming now

Ah, that's what it was I saw some Japanese posters celebrating the great strengthening against the USD

@babyherc2 The only difference is that people made Gmod maps from their heart, and everything on s&box is made due to adverse profit incentives, which is why it's soulless

i think its clear that facepunch failed to make it clear this was more of software/game engine then a actual game like gmod, and adding on to the confusion of calling it a spiritual successor to gmod doesn't really help

@ludwigABAP @TheEbonyMaw Yeah assuming there's no discussion allowed beforehand, blue would have to mean you believe there's a decent chance that you're the swing vote

@TheEbonyMaw >Choosing the red button guarantees your own safety but also ensures people will die because there is invariably going to be people who will vote blue for whatever reason. wrong as if blue gets >50%, no one dies at all

I have opinions on the new red/blue button debate. I interpret it as a test of whether or not you are in a high trust or low trust environment. Choosing the red button guarantees your own safety but also ensures people will die because there is invariably going to be people who will vote blue for whatever reason. But choosing the blue button is only a viable option IF you are in a high trust environment. The blue/red button question, in my opinion, is more of a question of “do you trust the group you’re in?” Pure altruism & trust vs. guaranteed self-preservation So it depends on the group. All other things being equal, I don’t particularly want blue voters to die, so I’d ideally vote blue. But I’m not going to stake my life on that if the group I’m in is particularly untrustworthy. So again… it depends on the group. If I was in a situation where all the other voters were my closest friends & family, obviously I would choose blue. But if I’m in a group of people who don’t know each other and are openly hostile to each other, I am pressing red.

@egregious_angst @AaronBergman18 It's not worded perfectly but the limit is the Wh of battery you're allowed to bring in a carry on, not the physical size

@AaronBergman18 Just up the energy density

Very cool reason we can't have better battery life

@FoxRunTime @PassTheGabagoo @Shane_August415 @ZanofArc Then don't put it up in the first place?

@PassTheGabagoo @Shane_August415 @ZanofArc if you remove the command strips the exact same damage will occur and they will take it from your deductible

new landlord special just dropped in my apartment

@WickedWizard15 Runs like shit and also an appallingly low number of games at launch considering how long they've been trying to onboard people

Not played it. Why is it mixed?

@xwanyex Having a side hustle isn't a problem, but having that side hustle be "Facebook marketplace reseller" and presenting that as a respectable thing is psychotic

I will in this post judge every aspect of this individually ✅ Encouraging the kid to start some kind of side hustle. (This actually is just straightforwardly good.) 💩Loaning him the money at a high-interest rate to “teach him about the real world.” (“The world” I live in also includes the concept of dads helping their sons get started in life on favorable terms.) ⚠️ Middlemanning returned rugs. (This isn’t as stupid as some people think. Finding a market for returned goods is a perfectly reasonable endeavor, but it’s also probably a shitty business. If anything, this will teach the kid how hard it is to make money with these kinds of schemes.) 💩 Letting your kid drive around in an unsafe/unreliable car.

@_JazzyBoy__ @hueoops MMO subs are like $15 man I'm pretty sure you can play like 5 hours a month and you'll still get more value out of it than a dozen other things you spent $15 on this month

@hueoops I want to play FF14 (I actually did play a good chunk of it) My issue is the subscription model. You pay and then it’s like you have to play the game ALL THE TIME for 31 days of your life to make your money’s worth. I don’t like feeling pressured.

skipping one of the most wonderful stories ever told just for this content experience:

@DUSKdev The number isn't zero

One of my friend's sons is just getting into both horror and boomer shooters, but he's still young enough that he isn't allowed to play M rated games. He was complaining to me the other day that there are no T-rated boomer shooters and I realized wow he's right.

@CraftingVegeto I find that the *most likely outcome* is there would be like 10% max of the population that pushed blue because they didn't understand the question but then 20-30% of people push blue to be selfless making the actual eventual tragedy much much worse

Okay, so after thinking about this red blue button dilemma for hours, here is where I landed lol At first glance, the correct pragmatic answer is obviously red. You survive no matter what. That part is still 100 percent true. Red is the logical self preservation move. You do not die no matter what the others do. But once you think deeper, you realize that blue actually has a strong moral and collective argument. Blue only needs "just" over 50 percent to save literally everyone, while red basically needs 100 percent for no one to die. So blue is the gamble that gives humanity the best shot at universal survival with the lowest bar. At the same time, tons of people are emotional as hell, not logical or pragmatic, and sadly a lot are straight up virtue signaling kings. That means there is a real chance we end up in that dangerous 40 to 49 percent blue zone where billions die and society collapses anyway. Even the survivors probably would not survive long after that. Good job everyone. So yeah, red is the logical self preservation move, and blue is the more morally correct gamble to try and save everyone. Both sides have a solid point. Having that said... Everyone on Twitter furiously shitting on the other side is an idiot. Blues calling reds selfish monsters are idiots. Reds who cannot even see the collective blue argument are idiots too. But here is the most important part imho. All of this is bullshit. This is just a Twitter thought experiment where everything is easy and fake. If this was real life, an actual button in front of you, and pressing the wrong one means you actually die, everything changes. Heart rate at 180, adrenaline spiking, shitting your pants. I firmly believe there is near 0 percent chance blue gets over 50 percent in a real scenario, which I am not saying is a good thing. All the virtue signaling idiots on the internet would secretly press red in a heartbeat. Sure, some actual idealists who care about the collective more than pure survival would still press blue, and sadly they would die. In a real terrifying dystopian situation like that, red is the only solution, and it sucks.

@nise_yoshimi Then I'm glad it's happening on even grounds

@Longnosedfish Unfortunately the PvP cares about you

sponsored kit dire marsh really shows the evil Marathon imbues its players with because on other maps at least like maybe they'll have a nice gun or something. But here people are just murdering each other for fun

@thecyborgscribe @Anton81191831 Thinking that 50% of people are too stupid to push the "I want to live button" says a lot more about you than anything else honestly. In my worldview only 10% of people are that dumb

@Anton81191831 The opposite I suspect is true. It's easy to be an edgy sociopath online but committing to actually killing more than half the population is harder in person

Blue team is trying to save blue team from the problem blue team created for blue team by doing the only thing that creates the problem for blue team.

@Karai_Dan @itscoachgoodman Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that after said "blow up" they decided that the most important next step was to pose for a photograph that they could later use to garner sympathy online

@itscoachgoodman What could you possibly be doing that’s causing this much disturbance? I’ve lived in Japan a decade as a gaijin, ride frequently on the train with my young daughter, have friends with young children. No blow ups, no people telling us off. Perhaps this is an issue on your end.

This was after a blow-up on the train. There was another blow-up this morning. We were late for school today. Japan has proven to be a challenging place for our young family. We are told no, to be quiet, and that we cannot be here multiple times every day. It sucks to constantly feel so unwelcome—that our sheer presence is such a burden on others just because we have young children with us. This experience will make our family stronger. Knowing that helps even in the most difficult moments. There's been a lot of them.
