A kitchen problem

Fool me once shame on me

Fool me twice shame one you

Fool me three times there’s a problem

Another week of bad luck - we have our third huge ant problem. They’re all over the cupboards, that’s a first because we got rid of their trails :(

If office siren was a subculture

Aesthetics like office siren are criticized for not having any subculture around it. This is a thought experiment on what office siren would be like if it had a subculture around it.

• The trope is clearly a play on a femme fatale trope, most evident in its name: a siren is known for being a seducers who are attractive yet dangerous. It's a double-edged sword, where it can either be used for misogyny or feminist reclamation. The office siren could fit the former more.
• A critique of office siren is how it makes women look at office jobs, office clothing, and office women. Particularly that office women are sexual smooth talkers. This is an offensive stereotype.
• There is no way you'd be hired for a job in office siren garb, particularly with a skirt too short and a shirt buttoned too low. Despite not being pornographic, it's not safe for work. This could be intentional, a purposeful rebellion against corporate life and its blandness.
• Similar to balletcore, office siren is a common aesthetic for people who don't have office jobs. Some might even hate corporate jobs and just want to wear suits for fun, or reclamation of an opressive job category.
• One of the biggest icons of the office siren aesthetic, to the point of giving an alternative name to rectangle glasses, is Bayonetta.
• Office sirens can be seen as caring to the women around them. Almost like a mother figure or the eldest sister.
• Really good at finance and math.
  

Idk the biggest problem is that it's entrenched in capitalism and its politics are probably vague girlboss feminism Democrat-but they have no idea about their own political opinion on economics.

I'm starting to reply less and less online

Is my shyness getting worse? The stuff I'd normally reply to immediately just passes through my mind now. I mean, this year was the peak of not talking to people who aren't my family or family friends.

Wait, huh?

Someone's ripping off/rewriting my series? Why?

I won't say any names but you'll know what I mean when you see that one of them shares the same name as my series with, you know, the perfumes?

Most are direct, chronological theme-stealing from mine (though one is conveniently left out)

EDIT: The user is known for putting their series up for adoption when getting caught for ripping off others. So they have removed all the knockoff series, replaced it with only one, and put the original names up for adoption.

???

Okay???

What???

Who's gonna use these?

Someone probably, there might even be someone that says "I'll take all 203 series names!"

Though it's a bit weird to do when you ripped off (presumably idk I'm stupid) multiple users' series names and get caught.

Some of the names are kinda cool but why would I want Megami Pretty Cure when I have Tenjo Megami Pretty Cure?

Terminal Color Pretty Cure

 For a little treat

• Cure Dracula - Purplish black
  
• Cure Solarized - Dark teal with cream accent
  
• Cure Gruvbox - Rainbow with black accent
  
• Cure Rosé Pine (my theme!) - Pink and dark purple (Mascots are named Moon and Dawn)
  
• Cure Everforest - Green
  
• Cure Catppuccin - Dark purple (Mascots are named Latte, Frappe, Macchiato, and Mocha, just like Pastel Café)
  
• Cure Tokyo Night - Dark indigo and rainbow
  
• Cure Kanagawa - Yellow with black accent
  

The latter two are probably just some average joes from Tokyo and Kanagawa

Character design opinion

A white unicorn with a pink, green, and blue/teal multicolored mane is more childish-looking than the other unicorns.

Except for Celestia because she's tall and has purple in her mane.

AI and NFT comparisons

• Both are ridiculously expensive - NFTs, depending on the brand and the currency, are expensive to buy as a consumer (currently the cheapest Bored Ape on the market is $34,000). AI is expensive to run, even for a billion-dollar company like OpenAI.
• Its biggest fans are pretty much Silicon Valley shills.
• Regular people hate it.
• It is environmentally damaging, especially AI, to the point Microsoft says its AI is harming its "carbon negative by 2030" goal.
• It's a gimmick being used by lots of famous companies. NFTs and the metaverse and Web3 keywords have died off, but there is currently no migration of AI by companies at the moment.
• AI is much more known than NFTs.
