Place your random thoughts.

Is a "sense of humor" the ability to perceive/appreciate jokes or how you tell them? Or both??? The web is giving me mixed results (as always). :rolleyes:

Whatever the case may be, I don't think I have a good sense of humor lmao. It's too... Crude.

I swear all the questionable songs on my playlist always play whenever I'm not using my headphones. No, I don't want my family knowing I'm listening to Rocket Queen. 😭

Personally, I think whataboutisms are a good thing, as they address both double standards and greed from the initial accusers. It’s also a good defense tactic against people who shove their beliefs down your throat.
 
Kowloon Walled City sounded like a very interesting place to visit. Not because of the activity.. but because of the architecture and how things were organized. I wonder if it existed today, if it would end up as a big tourist attraction or if it would be considered too shady for most tourists to want to visit. I heard that it wasn't exactly a pleasant place in the past, but I wonder if it would have shifted some over time and made a lot of income via tourism rather than shady stuff, or if a new city being built in a similar manner would be touristy and have less concerning activities.

The down side to everything being so close together with tons of people are fires and disease, which I guess Kowloon did suffer from a fire at some point.

I think when people think about facilities being built where everyone and everything is within easy reach, or special cities that aren't enclosed but needs are met or are close together and lots of people live, that people are just kinda wanting the sense of community and connection with a vast amount of different people. Or maybe it is a sense of simplification.. idk the layout of these kind of things are busy and complex.. I'd imagine the challenges and circumstances you met with each day would be different.
 
I know the 2028 presidential election is a few years away from now, but I keep thinking about who's gonna run for the next election. I can't wait to see who'll be running for president next!

Taylor Swift is one of the first choices that comes to mind for some reason, idk why. I highly doubt if Taylor Swift will ever run for president, but it would be interesting to see her on the debate stage clashing with the other candidates.

Super Mario 3D Land is so underrated. It’s probably on the lower end of 3D Mario games, but it’s still really good. It’s sad that no one cares about it.

It's because the other 3D Mario games overshadow it, which is a shame. I think SM3DL is really good, too. Fun levels and gameplay, catchy music, and the beach theme is one of my favorites 🎵🌴 the only thing is that I don't care much about the 3D feature for it. I play all my games on 3DS without 3D, it's too gimmicky and unnecessary imo, lol

Super Mario 3D Land walked so that Super Mario 3D World could run, which is another great game. They're both awesome, for sure.
 
I really don’t get how Buggy can be an Emperor; I think he is kinda good comic relief though honestly I’ve never liked him. I mean, I get that he has some sort of charisma that draws people to him, but that’s about it. Ofc, while I don’t like it, I do think trust Oda’s judgment and respect his ideas and decisions; I do wish he wrote all the anime episodes and wrote his own movies since the stuff he didn’t write, there is a huge lack of quality not to mention inconsistency with the main story’s timeline. I’m sure maybe even eventually it’ll come together and make sense to me. Like it doesn’t make sense to have a movie where all the characters - marines, admirals, worst generation, and other characters all happen to be in one location when in the story, they are all spread out.

While I say this, I do feel like Buggy makes the emperor title look like a joke (on him at least).
 
Sometimes, I expect sudden unexpected events that come out of nowhere, like a loud noise or a power outage. Other times, I don’t expect it, as everything should be calm. In both cases, reality is calm with no unexpected rough events.
 
Why is it when someone mentions some negatives or dangers about mining the default response is, well if we didn't mine you wouldnt have your phone to talk to us on the internet.
😒 Ok... But that doesn't erase the fact that we need to be mindful about the consequences of mining. Like there is a huge difference of producing a million throw away phones vs a million phones and affordable repair parts and actually setting up affordable repair shops.
 
If Harry Potter is offensive because of JK Rowling’s views, and Star Wars is offensive because it’s Disney property and that Disney is on the BDS list, then what large fantasy franchise is left?

There is usually something negative to be found in many things. Way more things than you may initially think if you take the time to look into a company or franchise. Whether it is something about the author of Harry Potter or how chocolate companies often do unfair trade and employee treatment.
There isn't anything wrong with deciding to boycott something because of an issue. It is only a problem when people attack and judge each other for doing a boycott or for not joining a boycott.
It's not even possible to avoid everything that has an issue. All a person can do is advocate for better, which can be done in a number of ways, not just boycotting.
 
As a Shih Tzu, Finn reminded me of Ewoks and Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. Now, I know Stitch is supposed to be based on a koala, but he did pretend to be a dog at the beginning…. Shih-Tzus also grumble and sneeze and sound like they’re trying to talk. Finn also made little happy grunts whenever you scratched under his ears.

When I was little, like when Lilo and Stitch first came out, I had Peppy, a Shih-Tzu poodle mix. He also gave me Stitch vibes, at times.

And that’s the issue I have with these people. They don’t have to tolerate others’ views, but they must be tolerant of others’ purchase preferences. I also don’t like those who destroy their own products or others’ products because of what the company believes in.

Something I often think about for myself, is if we tear everything down, we may not have grocery stores. Think about the effect of that. Any time a grocery store does pop up, it would be tore down because the root issue was never addressed. The only thing done was destruction because of something negative behind the store but no mending or refining was done.
The same thing can happen with any candy company, entertainment company, or book series. Granted these aren't as necessary as a channel for food access to millions of people. None the less, behind the scene issues are sometimes shared.

This (handmade) shirt I begged my mom to get me when I was little at some event back in the day. There used to be a pair of short pants that went along with it, but I grew out of them a long time ago; but can still wear the shirt though. But it's only for home now.

I loved 101 Dalmatians too much as a kid. ;-;
