Not sure if it’s a small thing but I think I would change it so good deeds make a bigger impression on people than the bad.

It’s a bit of a rainbow sunshine kind of wish but it’s human nature to remember bad things easier than the good, it’s a survival instinct to protect ourselves. But with all these conflicts and discrimination, big or small, if people don’t let fear dominate, everyone would cut each other more slack.

Of course this requires everyone to have the same mindset to work, that’s why I think making that small change in human nature at its core is the only way, and only a genie could pull that off.

I don’t know… I wouldn’t be surprised considering they threatened one million Gaza residents to evacuate within which is unachievable. They are already trigger happy. I wouldn’t put it past them. That said I don’t trust either side.

What's the worst spoiler that you've inadvertently given to someone? (Please use spoiler tags.)

When I was in college, my then girlfriend texted me that she was watching Jojo Rabbit. She knew it was one of my favorite movies, and said that she loved it too. She was talking about how Scarlett Johannson’s shoes almost have their own personality. So I said,...

The Walking Dead. Twice.

First time was when a coworker was telling me how good second season was and I should give it another shot. I ended up binging it then later talked to him about how shocking it was when it was revealed

spoileryou’d turn no matter how you die.

Turns out he hadn’t finished the season yet.

Second time was the third season when

spoilerMerle died. I was rewatching it with someone and when Merle was acting all heroic before his rogue suicide mission, I commented that it’s such a trope when a hated character do something uncharacteristically selfless before they die so they could make us feel something for them in the last minute. In my weak defence, when I watched it for the first time, I thought it was pretty clear it was a suicide mission, but apparently it is not.

Apparently like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">::: spoiler Bible Spoiler
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Jesus dies in the Bible!
</span><span style="color:#323232;">:::
</span>

To appear like this:

Bible SpoilerJesus dies in the Bible!

Line breaks are a must. It seems like some apps like Voyager doesn’t support spoiler tags so you may need to look again in the browser if this doesn’t look right.

Japan is amazing to visit but I would never live there. There is an incredible amount of discrimination that is normalised in the society.

Australians vote No in referendum that promised change for First Nations people but couldn’t deliver (www.cnn.com)

With a two-letter word, Australians have struck down the first attempt at constitutional change in 24 years, major media outlets reported, a move experts say will inflict lasting damage on First Nations people and suspend any hopes of modernizing the nation’s founding document....

coldv ,

Yup. Sounds like Australia. Proudly admitting they’re racist, and afraid even of a symbolic gesture that has no actual power in the parliament. I’m just embarrassed that it is now official.

coldv ,

As a POC, I am not surprised, but I was still optimistic because there was no way to vote “no” without looking like a racist cunt. Well turns out Australia has no problem with looking like a bunch of racist cunts.

coldv ,

This is barely even a “formality” before a massacre. Israel was looking for an excuse to go all out without any restraint and they got it. It’s fucking tragic that these bastards are playing with civilians lives. Fuck both authorities.

coldv ,

I’m sure Uncle Roger would approve. The spring onions are being used as garnish! Also it looks like they’re using a proper wok! They’re a wok fuckboi like Uncle Gordon!

Seriously though, it looks great. Nothing wrong with throwing hot dog into fried rice. Fried rice is basically a fancy way to eat up leftovers anyway! It sounds like something you could get in a Hong Kong diner/Cha Chaan Teng

coldv ,

That really took longer than it should’ve. I would love to be a fly on the wall of the conversation that finally convinced/force him to resign.

coldv ,

As an Australian living in Canada, yes it’s Macca’s in Australia, but a Canadian friend also told me they have McDicks.

coldv ,

As a Hongkonger… Fucking heartbreaking.

coldv ,

Oh my! I spent so much on camping! I get so excited by all the gadgets that people come up with.

I would say meditation or a power nap, but if you are super drowsy, I think you will likely sleep through it.

You could go for a long walk in a park (ideally close to your interview location) to get your body active and hope that the energy would carry through to the interview instead of tiring you out more.

But the safest option is still to ask to reschedule because of illness. Cold, IBS, migraine, plumbing issue… Your choice.

Edit: so happy that it went well!!

I remember I actually stopped believing in God at the same time I realised Santa wasn’t real.

I'm trying to find a story about a dog

Some weeks ago I kept seeing a story that I can’t seem to find anymore. A dog was guarding a flock or a herd, and after an attack on the animals the dog was watching over, it went missing for days tracking down a pack of wolves or coyotes and killing most or all of them. There was said to be a trail of dead pack members. The...

coldv ,

Wow he’s a total 80s action movie hero, but a dog.

coldv ,

Thrillerrrrrr 🎵 thriller night 🎵🎵

coldv ,

Not yet but you just reminded me. Now where did I put that pipe?

coldv ,

i.e. suspended until it blows over.

This dinosaur is the total embodiment of rape culture. He even has the gall to claim that is was consensual, blames “fake feminism”, etc., and of course the video showed a room full of men applauding him, and a few women who just stared. Good FIFA did what needed to be done. Horrifying that Spanish FA is doubling down and threatening to sue Hermoso for defamation.

coldv ,

At the same time, he’s also calling it “fake feminism”… I don’t think he actually know what those words means, including “fake”

coldv ,

Oh god yeah. Okonomiyaki is one of my favourite dishes of all time!

coldv ,

Not a book but Adam Liaw did a short YouTube series called Ramen School. His videos are great. Relaxing and he explains the purpose of every process succinctly.

coldv ,

Wow that’s about 7 years of battle. I am glad they got some compensation for that. Their case was taking on pro bono but I still think the compensation should be more considering how long this went on.

coldv ,

If that doesn’t taint his idea of Musk, then nothing will.

coldv ,

That’s insane. What even was his plan to decide who get those PS5s? I guess if he had any plan at all or any foresight, this wouldn’t happen at all… or maybe that’s his intention. Hope he gets convicted.

coldv ,

Not saying shit’s not fucked up over there right now, but is this an artist rendering? Its got what looks like artist initials at the top and I can’t find this image anywhere else.

coldv ,

I guess everyone has their own straw

coldv ,

Yeah it is expensive but it is good shit for people who are very passionate about bbq and smoked meat.

coldv ,

That is so sad… My heart hurts.

PSA, you can add subreddits as an RSS to view without supporting Reddit

There’s still some subreddits I’d like to view as their communities haven’t swapped over yet. Like you guys, I obviously don’t want to support Reddit in any way shape or form. Surprisingly, they have not gutted RSS feeds yet. Simply add .rss at the end of the domain. Example...

Oh I’m not aware of the comments one! Thank you!

Otters have also joined the fight but in a smaller scale. I vote for underwater uprising.

Maybe they’re too vertically challenged… Like me :(

Omg look at it glisten! That’s some proper food porn! I’m salivating

Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?

Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

coldv ,

I’m on Android and I swipe mostly unless autocorrect doesn’t give me the word I wanted. Very good for one-handed typing.

coldv ,

This feels eerily like when a woman solves a technical problem for a client, but the client refuses to understand anything she says until a male coworker steps in and say those exact same words.

coldv ,

Yeah restrict AI posts. I think cuteness needs to have some notion of soul behind it to be cute and AI images are just creepy and soulless.

coldv ,

The writing that was scribbled on says:

What I call “fuck”, is not what you call “make love”

Also by “my boy” it means “son” in case anyone’s confused.

coldv ,

Oh. I’ve been away for toooooo long.

It is the worst kind of ads too… Next to those cheesy romance web manga ads.

Tourist who allegedly carved names into Rome’s Colosseum says he didn’t know the ‘antiquity of the monument’ | CNN (www.cnn.com)

The tourist who was filmed apparently carving his name into a wall of Rome’s 2,000-year-old Colosseum late last month has sent a letter of apology to the local prosecutor’s office, his defense lawyer told CNN on Thursday....

coldv ,

Time to reopen the Colosseum for its original purpose and throw that dickhead in with the lions.

This is the kind of shit that caused them to close the Chichen Itza from tourists.
