It’s not supposed to do anything. It is literally a “tap” on the screen.

Caffeine gives me brain-destroying headaches if I just drink a single cup a day for a month or two. Inevitably. I’ve tried to be a coffee drinker a half-dozen times in the past few years because I love the pep I get from caffeine, and every single time, eventually I end up slowly pacing in a dark, quiet room - because even sitting down makes the pain unbearable - wishing the world would end so my head would stop throbbing.
I guess I just wasn’t drinking enough?
The story of Baby Shark is kind of interesting. It used to be a camp song in the 90s. It didn’t become ridiculously popular until the infamous YouTube video that everyone knows. Various people and institutions have tried to sue for ownership, but it was ruled public domain. Anyone can release their own version of Baby Shark if they want.
Not my workplace exactly, but I used to hang out with this Kiwi who worked as a foreign English teacher in Korea in the same small Korean city as me. The foreigner community was fairly close-knit because there was only 50ish of us.
We all knew him. Everyone liked him. Fun guy. A little weird sometimes. He never told anyone his last name. The end of his pinkie finger was missing and if you asked him about it, he always said a shark bit it off.
One vacation about two years into his tenure, he decided to take a trip to Las Vegas. He never came back. I’m not 100% on the details past this point, but what I heard was they stopped him from entering the US because he was wanted in New Zealand on 37 counts of distributing child pornography. He was basically extradited back there and as far as I know went to prison. His trail disappears there.
I suppose if you’ve got a self-destructive streak a mile wild, better to at least burn out doing something impressive.
Yeah, the article mentions her day begins with a 3am alarm, a quick breakfast, and the taping up of blisters.
Cool accomplishment, but it can’t have been healthy.
I’d like to thank this thread for reminding me to check out some new music. Just today, I have discovered MJ Lenderman and Still House Plants who both seem to be doing some cool stuff that’s right up my alley. There’s a new Mogwai track released a few days back and Sumac just released an amazing sludge metal album, even though I’m not really into sludge, it might convert me. A quick few image searches shows me that none of them are particularly attractive. Music has always been, and always will be awesome regardless of the physical appeal of the lead singers.
I guess I can see the appeal of that. But it’s pretty fun feeling like a nail salon samurai, too.
Pretty sure they’re just incredibly sharp. The Japanese like to sharpen things.
I bought a nice pair of fingernail clippers. ~$15 Green Bell from Japan. You hardly have to apply any force to the lever at all, and the nail just slices off neatly and falls inside. Not like my old cheapo pair that went “KACHONK” and endangered anyone in my vicinity of shrapnel injuries.
Having legit flashbacks right now…
When I was six years old or so, my sister called me a “cosweb” and told me it was the worst thing ever. I completely believed her for a long time.

Haha! I started up DS3 DLC once a lot time ago, and I was rusty from having not played in a while. I got invaded in less than a minute, got whacked, quit the game and never went back. Sometimes I’m just not in the mood for self-flagellation. DS2 DLC almost did me in, but I’m glad I pushed through there.
Crosscode. It’s not required, but they do encourage you to race against NPCs in the puzzle-heavy dungeons. I thought I had finally won one when the boss of the dungeon smoked me three times, and then I got mocked for being the last out of the dungeon. Also, I’m 27 hours in, and the plot that everyone raves about has gone absolutely nowhere. I put the game down a few months back and haven’t gone back. Maybe I’ll pick it up again since it seems a lot of people love something about it, but aside from some interesting combat, I wasn’t feeling it at all.
You can’t absolve “us” of all the responsibility. We wouldn’t be in this situation if the masses weren’t so easy to manipulate into supporting corruption. The vast majority of us would take the quick-and-easy-yet-destructive path over the long-and-hard-productive one most of the time. Remove those 100-or-whatever by violent revolution tomorrow, and someone else will rise to the top of the stink heap the next day. Real change requires sacrifice at all levels of society.

The taste is OK, but they will shred your mouth.
Oh definitely. It wasn’t that long ago there were some pretty hard times here. The older generation remembers.
This is Korea. For whatever reason every single animal they consume that has unpleasant bits inside, they leave em in. Bony fish, bony chicken, grisly pork, soup full of shelled shellfish, and shrimp with tails. Hell, frequently entire shrimp head and all. Also locally where I live they have these different shrimp that have I dunno extra tough and sharp carapace. They don’t even try to shuck those things.
A lot of people say Star Wars is a blatant rip off of Dune. Yeah, only Lucas skipped just about everything that made Dune relevant.
