@holy_schnitt algorithm bring back to see if it was filtered water, beans, or brewing method that made the difference

you know what it’s nice that even though twitter is mostly ruined people will still give you legit advice when you ask 🥰

I don’t get why iced coffee I make at home tastes so ASS!!! it’s all the same ingredients as at an overpriced coffee shop so what is the problem? is it because I don’t have any tattoos? like I’ll get a septum piercing I swear to god I will

it happened to me. i wanted eggs and there were none.

are eggs actually difficult to find right now or am I falling for bad headlines

@land_planarian I like it. Anything that feels like it's combating the rising sinophobia in the US feels welcome and good

I'm down--I like fireworks, great timing, love the treats my coworkers bring in for everyone, hate to be a stick in the mud while half the town is celebrating. But I don't wanna overstep either. Where are we at rn wrt appropriation vs melding? Feels like a shift is coming

Hey California, A fellow white guy just wished me happy Lunar New Year. Are we doing that now?

I've always wondered what toxins people are removing when they're doing some new age food fad or blood replacement fad. Is it arsenic? Heavy metals?

@MildCuthbert I'm totally ignorant about book publishing clout and I am surprised that The Vegetarian won any awards. Maybe I am too desensitized because the sf bay area is already full of malnourished vegans doing hand stands in the woods.

@ddddarby I think you're right but I'm guessing it's not as widely read in English? The Vegetarian and its English translation won her the International Booker Prize in 2016. That's how I came across her work and I was living in Korea at the time. It was a big deal.

It's strange that The Vegetarian is the Han Kang book people are promoting when Human Acts is what I assumed won her the Nobel Prize.

@KLobstar Nothing Illegal LLC would be the funniest thing to see on spam paper mail

thinking of renaming my business from KL Media to something else— here’s what I’ve got so far “Nothing Illegal LLC” “Spaghetti Squadron” “Loser Club 1979” “Four Penguins Trying to Repair a 2006 Pontiac Grand AM Inc.” “Laughter Heart Emoji Death” “Walmart 2”

I've been wanting a typing practice app for Korean that let me paste in custom text depending on what unit I'm studying. I used claude ai, which very obviously copied code from free tutorials online, but if I'm honest that's what I'd be doing anyway. claude.site/artifacts/c12e…

the desk agent called it "a fuller flight" like its a euphemism

a side effect of switching to instant coffee is that anytime i have a drip coffee or soda i feel like i am going to the moon

after watching the vmas throwing all my cowboy stuff in garbage replacing it with armor, swords, chainmail etc

I made a 🖥️ digital 🖥️ bumper sticker that shows what I'm listening to on Spotify at any given moment! It's fully open source and came together pretty quickly tbh 🧵

@hurrythas no home for posters

@ddddarby Clock app fyp has turned into generic fuzz, deep fried memes with some music and anime shitpost fyp is gone. Reels is still pretty normie core but that is its job. We have lost the culture.

it finally happened, reels content is art tutorials, creative content, DIY stuff I like. Clock app is mind numbing engagement farming. I spent an hour trying to search for art, cooking, homebody stuff I like, unfollowing/refollowing creators, and my FYP stays terrible.

I love cholita linda sandwiches but eating one increases my rest heart rate 10% for at least two weeks

I did not know pencils went up to 9H/9B. This explains a lot of art to me.

a pretentious trait i want to adopt is using the scientific name for my houseplants instead of the regular name

@gracevorreuter its kind of a de facto clothing rental service for formal event clothes for me

@ddddarby I buy so much for Poshmark and the real real etc

Two years into selling second hand clothes online as a casual and what I've learned is I should price for resellers, not for people who are actually trying to wear these clothes.

@hajjitprop poshmark! i tried depop but poshmark made things like shipping easier for me so i ultimately stuck with it

@ddddarby What platform are you using?
