    Suburbs with cookie-cutter houses where everything looks eerily identical are everywhere around here in the south – or at least my part of it. Mostly in newer developments. They’re so ugly, and I have to see them any time I’m on the road unless I’m in an urban area.

    The worst part is the people who live in those places (mostly white flight descendants) are always the ones who complain about housing projects and get zoning reforms & mixed-use building plans shut down because efficient land/property use looks “ugly” to them, and they think it’s bad for property value or something. Like fuck off, you literally live in the neighborhood from The Lorax, your opinion on what acceptable housing is is worthless.

    The character is Miyako Hoshino, the protagonist of Wataten! An Angel Flew Down to Me (Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!), a yuri romcom about a college student falling in love with an elementary schooler, written by a guy

    Yes, lesbian pedophile is a subgenre now, and it’s mediocre as fuck at best






  • Andy Beshear.

    Realistically it’s going to be Josh Shapiro, Roy Cooper, or Mark Kelly. Shapiro because he’d guarantee the Pennsylvania vote and tear anyone apart in a debate, Cooper because he’d secure the NC vote and probably boost the southern vote in general, and Kelly because his background is as American as possible, plus he’d get us Arizona. Tim Walz is another likely pick imo, partially because Minnesota vote and all, but he’s not as appealing in a campaign as many of the other choices.

    Out of all of these, Shapiro seems like the strongest choice to me if he takes off his glasses. Cooper probably offers the most up-front and is exactly what Americans think of when they hear the words “vice president”, but Shapiro would probably perform the most impressively in public speaking & debates, and Kelly would probably give the best public image.

    Beshear probably is the most progressive and has the best platform out of all of the likely candidates, but he’s made the critical mistake of being from Kentucky, which is definitely NOT a swing state, which means he doesn’t by default guarantee extra votes. The Democrats would have to run a very good campaign to utilize Beshear’s full potential, but considering all the finding pouring in I think it’d work out in their favor.

    The Democrats will not put 2 women or 2 non-whites on the same ballot. It’s just not happening. The nominee will be a white guy. Raphael Warnock is unbelievable in his campaigning/charisma, but Americans are too racist for a Harris-Warnock ballot to be a viable option in terms of votes. Same goes for Harris-Whitmer.

    If Newsom becomes the VP pick I’m going to yeet myself off a cliff…


  • Compared to other languages… If those other languages are Romantic, North Germanic, Dutch, Afrikaans, or Frisian. A majority of other languages are typically considered more difficult for people who only speak English.

    That being said, I found Russian way easier than German at first, but that quickly stops being the case… German shares a lot of semantic/syntactic similarities with English so you can reasonably assume that a lot of German constructions will easily translate to English, for Russian though it’s more unfamiliar and you have to put more effort into thinking Russian-y. The main thing that made German way harder at first is German declensions… ugh… Russian has a complex declension system but it’s extremely regular, while German declensions are pretty irregular and the declension of articles is especially bad because their forms overlap a lot. Adjective declension is similarly bad. German word order also fucked with me a lot but it’s decently rigid so you get it quickly.
