Just shut down the damn app by this point, man.

It’s probably not as bad as some of the comments I’m reading here, but it was about Demon Salyer. I met my wife’s little cousin (she is 12yo) about a month ago, and she was talking about anime (Demon Slayer, in this case) and she asked me who my favorite character was.

I had finished the manga, so I told her that I didn’t have any because none of them really spoke to me and asked her what was her favorite. She said it was Shinobu because it was “her comfort character” (I had no clue what that meant at that moment), and not having thought about the fact that not everyone read the manga, I immediately said that:

I realized my fuck up when she started just tearing up, didn’t know what to do so I said I was really sorry and left.

I’m not a grammar expert and English is not my first language but I think I used to say this before and I just ended up taking out the “what it is” and changed it for the thing I’m trying to remember:

There’s a thing that I don’t know the name of

Or

There’s a thing that I don’t know how to describe

Or

There’s a thing whose purpose is a mystery to me

Is that what you’re refering to? Sorry if it’s not. I don’t think any of the first three examples are correct, or at least they sound really weird to me.

Please do correct me if there’s an English mayor somewhere though!

Now it’s making a lot more sense, thank you so much!

Article 25(3)©: For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aids, abets or otherwise assists in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission

Sorry, but can someone ELI5 this one for me?

Although I (think I) speak/write English very well, it’a still not my native language and this specific article was extremely confusing for me, I don’t really understand what it means

Nope, I did make it a little bit confusing with the whole pozza thing but it was an inside joke from that game’s community so I had to put it

It’s actually >!Devil May Cry 3!<

I kind of thought she was a bit distant, but not cheating, but at that time I was dealing with a terrible case of arthritis at that time, so between going to the hospital and spending days, sometimes weeks in bed without being able to move I was not really thinking about it.

That’s what I said to her… Hell, it would have been a blessing for me if she was doing things with other people sometimes.

I was feeling horrible for her because I have a terrible case of arthritis and I can’t do stuff like a normal person, sometimes I couldn’t even move for weeks or spend time at the hospital, so sex was almost impossible. We were doing it once every 4 months, maybe more.

The first thing I told her was “Look, if you’re gonna do something with someone else, at least let me know first, I can understand due to the conditions so there’s no problem if you really need it, just please tell me first”.

First thing she did was not tell me, and that is what messed me up, the stupid lie.

This is probably NSFW so… warning(?)

I was going to reserve dinner at a place for our 7th anniversary of our marriage. My phone ran out of battery, so she told me to use hers.

While I was using it she received a message saying “tomorrow again? 😏”. Curiosity killed me, I opened the message because, as far as I knew, she stayed home while I was working the day before.

To my surprise, the guy that texted her sent her a video of her on all fours with 2 men cuming on her. Needless to say, there was no 7th anniversary dinner. This was also years ago so I got over it.

I could have said “she cheated on me” and leave it at that but I feel like the whole story is spicier.

Is this No Man’s Sky? Damn this is hard, the baby phone is confusing me.

A wacky woohoo pizza man gets invited by his bro to a weird tower and they end up fighting because the brother really wants a necklace.

You lose it and never hear from it again. Happened to me, had to open another account in another instance because of that, it’s a shame but I guess that’s the risk until we get something that is some kind of Backup->Restore->Move account or something.

I don’t mind the news, I absolutely hate the bots.

I said in another comment before, there’s an “AITA” bot reposting everything from Reddit, but, who are we supposed to answer if it’s a bot that’s asking? It doesn’t make any sense…

If there is no engagement (or at least something that’s educational or informational), then what’s the point?

If it was a “TIL” bot I’d probably have a harder time hating on it, but still.

My mother is like this as well, when I was little she used to only say “come here!”, and if I wasn’t showing up right next to her she wouldn’t say what she wanted to say, she would just stay silent. Sometimes it was only to let me know it was someone’s birthday.

She even says it unconsciously now. She lives in Venezuela, I live in Brazil now, and during calls she still says “come here” and every time I tell her “Now how am I gonna go there right now? Are you paying for the plane tickets?”

It’s not just you, you’re not mental, it’s fucking frustrating and at some point in my life I just decided not to react to her “come here” and keep quiet until she tells me what she wants, otherwise I’m not interested.

Jesus… That’s beyond awful.

I will say, though, and this is out of topic, you seem like a nice teacher.

English is not my first language and I’m kind of stupid when it comes to politics but you managed to not only make me understand everything but also made me interested, now I’m thinking about reading more of the topic, thanks!

I had another account in another instance, but the instance is gone so I lost all that info, I think I had about 2 posts and maybe 30+ comments.

I created this account about a week ago and I have 1 post and 9 comments so far (10 counting this one).

I don’t think I have impressive numbers though. I am more of a lurker but I’m trying to be more active here in Lemmy.

A cure for my arthritis, I’m tired of it and it’s fucking uncurable.

Dr. Pepper because I’m here for a fun time not a long time.

Sorry for the long text, TL;DR at the end.

Maybe I’m wrong or saw it incorrectly, but the feeling I got about that hearing was that there were many people with different ideas on what the topic was about and nothing was actually answered.

Some reps were asking about extraterrestrial lifeforms and spaceships, some others about UAPs made by enemy countries that could potentially pose a threat to the US national security, some others talked about the Chinese ballon and the incompetence of the government when dealing with those events (which kinda falls into the previous point, but it was more of critique to the government rather than a question IMO)

Then the “whistleblower” (the one that talked a lot and said nothing) was just focusing in wanting some kind of place/means/way to report those kinds of incidents with UAPs/UFOs anonymously because they faced what he called “administrative terrorism”, and the other two seemed to literally just want to talk about UFOs and spaceships.

The “whistleblower” didn’t really say anything outside of “I can’t confirm nor deny that in an open setting, I’ll gladly give you the information in a closed one”, there was nothing substantial about that hearing IMO.

Non-human biological material =/= extraterrestrial material, and in one of the questions, which was something along the lines of “where did you get that info?” He basically replied with a “just trust me bro, I’ve talked to some people”.

DISCLAIMERS: I stopped listening to it after about 4 hours and a half, so I don’t know if he said anything substantial after that. Also, English is not my first language so if I made any mistakes or am talking out of my ass, do call me out on it.

TL;DR: IMO that hearing was just a waste of time and nothing of importance was said.
