How old are you?
36, lol. Grew up on FF.net and Livejournal before AO3 was launched in 2008-ish (much like gmail, AO3 used to be invitation-only back then). Illegal manga/manhwa sites were SO hard to find and they tended to be either "everything is hosted here no matter what it is" or "only a specific kind of shoujo mangas are hosted here and fuck you for even ask......

you fucking kidding me

so they bully you, disrespect you, IMPRISON YOU, and you'll still waddle along grinning like an idiot? I can't with this FL. The plot is otherwise interesting but her characterization just loses me.

Is smoking a valid ick
For sure it's a valid ick. Also smokers don't seem to realize that if they smoke often enough and long enough, they will stink. The stench of whatever they are smoking will not just cling to their clothes, but their bodies and their environment as well, and no amount of washing will get rid of it. They will ooze that stench and somehow never reali......

Anyone doing a PhD in Europe?
I already finished mine (economics, did it in Sweden). It was hard, but I am glad I did it. I was being paid for the whole duration of it, and I got into teaching early on so by the time I finished my PhD I had already landed myself a permanent teaching job at a university in my city. The hardest part for me was the academic community (some aspect......

i LOVE these two together! And I'm so happy with how this latest issue is being handled so far - immediately communicative and mutually reassuring. So satisfying, as opposed to the typical misunderstanding-riddled shenanigans.

are you prepared for the time manhwas might just be ai art?
I do think it's inevitable. The quality of comics will suffer for a while, though, because AI just doesn't draw distinctive characters well. I can totally understand the temptation of using AI if you're an artist who is not paid well, and yet keeps getting bombarded by (often rudely phrased) demands for faster updates and longer chapters (and some......

hmm

The art is good and I have no doubt that the story could be very interesting, but tbh idk if her being so violent and nasty towards the baby dragon right in the beginning is supposed to be funny, but it just made me lose any interest towards reading this.

Hows your work-life?
I enjoy my work. Obviously, it's not perfect, but no job is. Most of my colleagues are great, some aren't. We don't have fancy offices or get crazy benefits, but the ones we get are really appreciated (daily subsidized lunches, monthly really nice dinners, occasional travel opportunities, Xmas gifts and bonuses, a personal wellness budget, etc.). ......

Would you date Big Ed for 500 million?
No, no, and no. He's got the personality of soggy wet napkin and the desperation of a self-hating pick-me, and no amount of money will turn that into something that deserves any physical contact from me. Not even a handshake. Sorry.

Would you rather?
without any hesitation: first option. Good food makes life so much better. I'm happy with my current salary, I don't need to be a billionaire. So food it is!

Why does rage bait even exist
Because the attention economy is peaking, and while people think that short attention spans are only relevant when you want to advertise something, the truth is that people's attention towards each other is also harder to capture. Those who are interesting (either by character or appearance) will still usually get enough attention to be well-socia......

Black people are SO weird
I've seen so many of your posts recently. I know you post ragebaits for attention (with varying success), but doing it with this frequency really highlights how terminally online you are. People who are this occupied with trying to get attention online usually have issues IRL that they want to be distracted from. So whatever you might be going th......
