Literally heard a convo at the library where a guy was telling a girl that he’s an omega and the girl telling him that she’s a beta, and my mind just did not automatically connect the context to fraternity pledge classes at all and I just whispered to myself “what the fuck?? What the fuck??”
I’m gonna write an updated comedy of manners about excel spreadsheets and webcomic artists in which Jack Worthington is a data analyst who has invented a fake free-spirited webcomic artist brother so he has an excuse to visit the city; his STEM mentee Cecily lives in the burbs and builds robots but dreams of going to the city to meet Jack’s romantic artist wastrel brother. Meanwhile Jack’s friend Algernon, who is a “startup entrepreneur” with no visible employment, has discovered Jack’s secret life and threatened to tell his girlfriend, hipster social justice activist Gwendolyn, who thinks Jack works for Algy’s startup because that’s way hipper than wrangling Excel spreadsheets all day.
All is upset by Mrs. Bracknell, the imperious baby boomer who can never get the right coffee order or change from Dr. Frederica Chasuble, a barista who has an unmarketable PHD in feminist classical theology and a crush on Cecily’s college admissions coach Ms. Prism. Mrs. Bracknell doesn’t want Jack marrying Gwendolyn because due to a database error at the hospital when he was born, most institutions (banks, cellphone providers, insurance companies) think Jack is deceased.
exactly 1 minute ago i had absolutely no idea what the plants sesame seeds and peanuts came from look like and i am shocked and surprised
ok but literally I had no clue what most of these fruit, nut and seed plants actually looked like because I have never harvested a fruit with my bare hands apart from blackberrying and casually picking the ones that grow in my back garden
but I’ve eaten every single one of them
that’s kind of sad and a little cool and a little scary
psst.. little yellow ghosts poop out cashews pass it on
this is called “Amaama to Inazuma” or “Sweetness and Lightning”
it is about a dad who is a school teacher and is trying to raise his daughter after his wife dies. one of the main things is he usually just buys her already made meals, but one of his students show’s him her mom’s restaurant and encourages him to learn how to cook
Omfg this looks SO CUTE
Apparently the daughter, Tsumugi’s, voice actress is only 11 and it’s just such a pure anime.
– You ask someone to repeat their question then finish processing and respond halfway through they’re finished repeating it.
– You somewhat processed what someone said but your brain won’t take it.
– You mishear what people say wildly wrong. Like, wildly wrong. Then you process it and it makes wayyyy more sense than whatever you thought someone originally said.
– “Wait, what?”
– Default face is a perplexed, confused look.
– You have to deal with rude people who refuse to repeat themselves and act exasperated at the suggestion, than proceed to get angry when you won’t respond to them and/or remember what they just said.
– You can hear a car door open down the street but you can’t hear someone talking to you in the same room.
– Talking is weird.
– You’re constantly seen as a bad listener (which, maybe isn’t that far from the truth- but they assume you’re not trying), unfocused (which I tend to be, but it’s unrelated), and so on. Nobody stops to consider that maybe you have processing issues.
– You were tested for hearing issues as a kid because you didn’t respond to people or talk much, but every test came back negative and your parents were told you have perfect hearing.
– The idea of talking to two people at once is terrifying beyond imagining.
– Responding to something someone said ages ago, even with a different conversation still going, the topic has moved on, and everyone forgot about it.
