I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.

I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.

I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it

As someone who has been going to US cons for over two decades (and one Italian con that is an outlier in setup but to the extreme opposite end as Japanese cons), it's so funny to read a post from a Japanese cosplay event organizer about their special program where you can stay in a hotel on site and they list the benefits of staying in a hotel

過去の紹介はこちら https://blog.hacosta.co.jp/2021/05/20acosta-3/ もう4年前の記事なんだな～と思いました（感想）時は流れ。。いろいろ変わりましたので、新宣材の紹介とともに改めて「サンシャインシティプリンスホテル特別宿泊プラン」を

Japanese cosplay event culture is SO different from US con culture in that you arrive in regular clothes, do your makeup and change in a changing room on site, don't leave the event area in costume, and then change back when you are done. Some of the events in public spaces will allow you to go into some of the nearby shops and such in cosplay, but not all, and you're still expected to stay within the area and arrive in street clothes. It's very much a culture of not standing out and not bothering others with your cosplay.

So to see an on-site hotel being advertised with all the "perks" that my local friends would be like "yeah no that's a necessity for a con," it's really fun to see the cultural difference

#i think about this all the time #Especially because I'd like to live in japan but mann the cons dont seem very fun in comparison #i'd probably just travel back to the US for events #and it also explains why a lot of japanese cosplayers go to cons in LA - way more laid back (and close in proximity)

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

prokopetz

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

buggyhuman

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have

woodsfae

If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!

If you're a teenager, you can still use this resource.

#😨terrifying #but that explains why a lot of people go “waaait op i dont get itttt”#or start shit about nothing #however i've seen streamers who are older than I am also do this when reading chat messages #instead of actually reading it theyll just assume the word the chatter said based on how it starts #and then theyll have to re-read it and be like “oh”

I used to use Google docs, but the white mode only was really annoying me (tires my eyes), so I swapped to Ellipsus (which I genuinely love and recommend), but it was bothering me a bit that I need wifi in order to use it, so now I switched to LibreOffice Writer, which I do like.

It very much has a Microsoft Word feel, but is open source and you need no accounts to use it. It's local on your device, so no AI can scan it, and no wifi is needed.

I still wish it had the Google Docs cards, because, bitch, that thing is so good for easy organizing.

#OnlyOffice because I dont want any fucking WebbedSite scanning my writing AND it's free #i do really miss the animations/effects of Word #but my only access to Word is through college and i dont want that shit accidentally backed up to my school account

➡️ Take a typing test here (and you need an actual, physical keyboard for this):

The industry-standard benchmark used by employers and typing certifications worldwide.

➡️ 'Typing classes' refers to computer skills classes you might have had in school; you can also count games or other related typing training your parents might have had you do.

➡️ Across 3 different typing test websites*, the (english language) world average typing speed is 40 WPM.

*typingtest.now, typingtestgo.com, typerworld.com

#had typing classes in elementary school - i got 61 wpm but i also just woke up #the 60 range is probably pretty accurate though #I learned to type moreso from being an internet-dwelling reclusive teen lmao

Disney is doing crazy things in the japanese mobile game sphere rn

mochlus

you may be familiar with disney twisted wonderland, the gacha game in which various disney villains are used as direct inspiration for handsome anime boys. well that game was so successful that disney is trying to do it again but this time they're just animeboyifying whatever

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

Yeah it's her. they made an anime boy version of the mean receptionist slug. her name is roz btw, as all of boygachagame twitter has become extremely aware of in the past 3 days as we speculated prior to the release of the full image who tf the third guy was. the anime boy's name is "noah slugger". at this point no parody of the types of things gacha games will make gijinkas of will ever be able to live up to what disney is officially spending their own real money on designing

#thats so fucking funny #i already have passive interest in twst but never got very far #however - whatever this game is will prob never come close to it and the artwork

“word hashtag my word #myword” has done irreversible damage to my vocabulary

"bosch" doesn't sound like the name of a guy who'd make paintings like that. but when you add "hieronymus" to the mix it starts to make sense

me (crazy eyes, covered in blood): I NEED to finish writing my fanfic. so I can start writing a different fanfic.
