#FangWatch Akira Shinonome from "Train to the End of the World" suddenly becomes catlike and gains a fang when subject to the itchy effects of Higashi-Kurume station.
@chikorita157 Looking at the actual page, the likes are still visible to the owner, and obviously, the algorithm will still use likes for calculations. So it won't affect companies who are farming likes coz they can still see the data.
I actually think that X will build some kind of panel for influenzas to share their aggregated like counts to potential sponsors.
Lots of discourse around Wuthering Waves frames the game as ‘Genshin killer(?), which is such a capitalist way of thinking about games. “Because they’re similar they must be out to destroy the other.”
Or maybe they're both just very good games. You can like both and want both to succeed. :AquaShrug:
So I bought a gigantic negi and leek (both from China) to prove a point.
They look similar except the negi are a bunch of hollow green O's like straws whereas leeks are just layered green leaves, like peeling an onion.
The negi when cut smells similar to onion 🧅 and even has the sulphuric compounds to cause tears to form :ablobcatnodmeltcry: Leeks aren't as onioney, and have strong vegetal notes.
I guess the first episode is the only time Yasumi shows off her dual fangs. Only one fang here, but both the right and the left are shown at certain instances, but never at the same time.
Cool, my home nitro drink machine finally arrived. Gonna experiment making nitrogen-infused drinks, especially teas over the weekend, I guess. Gotta dismantle and wash all the parts thoroughly first.
Another new Xitter clone by an ex-Xitter exec, Maven, is basically using OpenAI to categorize posts, and using algorithms to generate a feed based on selected topics. So no 'following', just 100% topics based on algo...
In theory it's good, but it'll eventually just feed you mostly ads, because that's the only way to profit off social media. No following means all conversations would be topical instead of community, which is kinda like Deaddit.
Alright, now that I've settled down after my trip (and got sidetracked binging The Quintessential Quintuplets), it's time to recount it! :ChikaYay:
Day 1, we have an early flight but I managed to sleep a little earlier and wake up on time. Smooth trip through the automated customs for once (it has never worked properly for me all my life).
It started to rain, so we were a bit concerned about delays, but the flight went ahead as scheduled. There was a LOT of turbulence in the beginning though. We later found out in Japan that the rain got so heavy that there were flash floods later in the morning :neocat_googly_shocked:
@rgbunny
Ekiben are great when you're a salaryman in a rush or a tourist, but honestly, after eating so many of them, most of them are overpriced and pretty mid. :blobfox_w:
It's fun and touristy to eat the 'regional specialty' ekibens tho. :ablobcatreachflip: They're so photogenic. :blobfoxcamera:
Nowadays I stick to buying konbini food or takeout to eat on the train.
