Franziska von Karma. I was going to say Miles Edgeworth, but… let’s face it, there are plenty of foolish fools in need of a whipping right now. 😌

(I know she’s really a “game character”, but she was in the anime, so she still counts. 🧑‍⚖️)

To be fair they also said:

Talking on the phone, got an interview
With the Rolling Stone, they’re saying,
“Now you’re rich and now you’re famous
Fake-ass girls all know your name and
‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous’
Your first hit, aren’t you ashamed?”
Of the life, of the life, of the life we’re living

So at least they’re self aware 😅

That’s a good point. Although Abigail Thorn (Philosophy Tube) kinda turned it on its head, apologies in advance for probably fucking up my explanation. 😅

If (e.g.) a cis woman has dark arm hair, peach fuzz, a “strong jaw”, etc, and is really bothered by it because it makes her feel less feminine or “man ish”… isn’t she basically experiencing gender dysphoria? And if she gets laser hair removal or whatever, isn’t that actually a type of “gender-affirming care”?

It made me wonder if that’s somehow the key to making people feel more empathetic, idk.

I hope teachers come up with crazy workarounds, like Miss Honey’s classroom in Matilda

Busuu is like what Duolingo used to be, but with native audio/video clips, actual grammar lessons, and the chance to write/speak sentences and have them graded by native speakers (other app users).

It’s free with ads, but the paid tier is also cheaper than Duolingo. 👍

I don’t know if it can (or should) be done without the negative aspects. The internet is really dangerous.

Children can be introduced to baking in a playful way, but still need to be taught how to do it safely. You wouldn’t try to do it without mentioning that the oven is hot, or that they shouldn’t play with knives.

The media seems so confused, when it’s so simple. People are being disappeared.

One of the cases – was it Mahmoud Khalil? – where they took issue with someone wearing a hoodie and disappeared them, I saw news sites saying, “This just isn’t how we do things in this country! He deserves due process and a fair trial!”

So… you think putting someone on trial for wearing a hoodie is any less insane? Feels like you’ve sort of missed the point, BUT OKAY 👍

Rat is short for Ratthew

VR, AI…

A good retail one: don’t say “sorry for your wait.” Say “thank you for waiting” or “thank you for being so patient”.

Something to do with… it makes people feel good about themselves if they think they’ve done something for you, which in turn makes them more likely to keep being patient.
