Hi Everyone @miyukomatsuda here,
So due to sheer stupidity, i had to make a backup account. changed my password got logged out, and tumblr’s 2 factor id won’t send me a code and my ipad’s software is too old to get the backup code i need. so here we are.
oh also i’m a demi girl turns out. So that bio’s out of date.
"oh Gordon Ramsay is being performatively angry on kitchen nightmares"
Anyone who has ever met an amateur restaurant owner: They probably have to cut so many slurs from that show. I know ten people like this and they're all dumber than a box of rocks.
"these people can't be this stupid it's a trick of the editing."
It's good to be conscious of how reality tv alters our perception of events and makes people into the most sensational versions of themselves. But please understand that "demographic that has enough spare income and misplaced confidence to start a restaurant with zero experience" is the group of people who stormed the capital.
Alright.
Now the first post makes sense.
I once worked in a pub where the chip oil was so dirty it was black, but the owner never let us change it because oil costs money.
I was like, you know this is going to catch on fire if we don't change it, right?
And he went, no it won't lol don't worry sweetheart.
It caught on fire.
And after I went about shutting off the gas and getting the extinguisher, I came back to him

A bucket of water on it.
So no. While Kitchen Nightmares is probably edited to enhance the drama, those people are absolutely out there and they are stupider than you can imagine.
friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:
“hi welcome to mcdonalds what can i get for you?”
“yeah can i get a deluxe quarter pounder with cheese?”
“absolutely, do you want the meal or just the sandwich?’
“uuuuuh hold on”
*fishes something out of my pocket*
“mikey what do i do?”
“get the fries. youll need the energy in the coming days”
*stuffs it back in my pocket*
“uhh yes please the meal would be great”
Now that it’s back it’s hard to remember a time where they sued to get the post taken down
I know its fun to be like omg twitter is dying lets goooo
but its really sad that we're losing yet another form of human communication and years of information because of another ceo baby manchild. I'm going to lose contact with a bunch of friends i've made because of this and it sucks
hey btw i would NOT recommend using Bluesky either...
this is just repeating the cycle again
The really hilariously ill-conceived part of the Twitter rate limiting thing is that comments and retweets are the same kind of entity as tweets in the back-end database, they're just "parented" to whatever tweet they're commenting on or retweeting, and the rate limit they've placed on the API simply counts how many of those entities you've requested without checking a. whether they're the children of another entity or not, nor b. whether you've already seen that particular entity today.
Thus, the limit isn't really "600 tweets". A tweet, each comment on that tweet, and each retweet of that tweet all count against the limit as you view them. For example, if a quote-retweet crosses your dashboard, the quote-retweet itself and the little preview of what it's responding to that appears above it each count separately against the limit. Click into that quote-retweet to read the comments? They both get counted against your limit a second time, as does each individual comment you read – and heaven help you if any of those comments were themselves commented upon!
The upshot is that if your account isn't verified, using Twitter in the manner that its own monetisation model assumes – and, indeed demands – it will be used can easily exhaust your entire daily allocation of tweet views in as little as a couple dozen engagements.

Kamen Rider (1971) episode 45 took me out back and deconstructed my bookshelf so I'm going to talk about it
SPECIFICALLY the opening scene, a press conference which sets up the macguffin Shocker will be trying to steal the rest of the episode
Although at first it seems ridiculous that something that big is considered a "miniature computer" it's actually REALLY IMPRESSIVE for the time. For context, this is a photo of a contemporary "miniature computer", the Kenbak-1.
As an aside, the image of the Kenbak-1 above has a file size of 39293 bytes- over 153 times the memory that the device itself had.
Alright, so we've got a miniature computer! How neat! But hey what's that rabbit doing ther-
OH NO. OH GOD
Whoever was responsible for the camera direction in this episode I am shaking their hand I am laying flowers at their feet I am bursting into tears because what does the camera go to after this??? Does it go to the reporters, who are all talking over one another at how exciting this development is, the next logical place to put the camera because they're the next speaking lines??
NO. IT GOES TO A CLOSE-UP OF HAYATO'S FACE.
The way this is framed... direct center of the shot. Under a spotlight. Lines in the background pointing towards him. Everyone else talking in a rabble of voices while Hayato stays absolutely silent.
Listen if they didn't want me to think they were comparing Hayato to that rabbit then maybe they shouldn't have cut the camera directly from a scientist describing how they cut up and cybernetically enhanced an animal to the nonconsensually cybernetically enchanced protagonist.
And the parallels don't stop there!!!
Oh what's that??? One of the effects of the modification is to increase the jump height of the subject??? WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE (screaming)
The crowd starts cheering for a demonstration and I just
THE RABBIT CAN UNDERSTAND YOU. It can HEAR them all clamoring for "an experiment" and I just. What connotation does that word have, for this rabbit? How does it feel, in that moment?
It leaps across the room into Goro's arms and you can just SEE those questions ROILING in Hayato's head. He's dissociating like no tomorrow just absolutely checked out of the situation
Meanwhile the reporters are VERY excited about this and
MAYBE LET'S NOT DO THAT.
Hayato just stares off into space after that. He only has a reaction when he hears the word "Shocker" and just this JOLT runs through him and his eyes SNAP back into focus. It's like he's trying hold everything that's happening at arms-length, but as soon as Shocker's brought up, he puts himself right back in the thick of it, because he has a duty to fulfill. He can't just pull himself away, even when it's upsetting and it hurts.
I cannot and will not shut up about the rabbit-Hayato comparison this scene is framing because ok. In comparing this rabbit to Hayato. What the hell are they saying about Hayato?
Both the rabbit and Hayato are silent this entire scene. Despite the rabbit's ability to understand human language, it cannot speak.
The cyborg surgery "made it capable of understanding human speech"... but it can't be understood by others.
We don't know anything about Hayato's life before he was taken and modified by Shocker. We know his profession as a photographer, we know he was skilled in martial arts, but. We never meet anyone that he knew from Before.
The unintended implication here, is that he didn't HAVE anyone Before.
Is this??? Is this trying to say that this is what Hayato feels like? That he felt like an animal, unable to understand human beings, and now, after he was taken and changed and suddenly surrounded by other people who know him and care about him, now he feels like he can finally start to understand others, but he still doesn't understand how to express his own feelings to them?
When you're really and truly alone, for a long time. It starts to feel easier if you rationalize it to yourself. "Well, it's ok that everyone ignores me- I can't really understand them anyway." "It's okay that no one wants to talk to me like they do other people. I'm not really like other people, so it makes sense that they feel that way." "Since I'm not really the same as other people are, I must be something else."
It's so easy to dehumanize yourself, when no one is there to remind you you're human.
And when that changes, and you find people who DO care about you, it's hard to break that! You keep thinking that to yourself, like "Oh, these are people that care about me. I must be something that they can love."
It takes time and it takes patience to ease out of that, and it takes people that are willing to really truly listen and try to understand you for the person that you are, even when you can't put it to words yourself.
And hey. Good thing Hayato's got just those kind of people in his corner, huh.
I think we don't discuss enough the fact that Godai's first impulse was "rest the hot injured man on his shoulder" and not rest him literally anywhere else. Like there were walls he could have leaned him against.
I love going on Pinterest and finding the lowest quality photos of 2000s Kamen rider actors
them.
This is genuinely all it takes to revive the Jetman brainworms after months of dormancy, eh? Cool. Noted.
I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️
Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.
Paid for seven thousand, the other 100k was free
