I got an offer of admission to a PhD programme yesterday! It was over twelve hours later that it actually hit me: the dream I've dreamt for years – one that scared me and felt so far from reach – was actually coming true! There I was crying actual tears of joy on the bus 🥲

You aren't Asian. You're American As an Asian from Asia, I have the authority to tell you that Asians have always eaten rice with their hands
As an Asian, I feel I have authority on rice: Eating rice with your hands is gross, strange, and barbaric. Nobody in my family has ever done this. He acts like utensils were never invented.

I don't care if the tech bros think it makes their service better, I want to be able to opt out. I want to be able to use Google search without consuming extra water for an AI summary I didn't ask for.

It's been 15 months and my mouse buttons are still switched
My left mouse button wasn't working well so I switched the left-right setting on my computer about a month ago. Now that I've gotten a new mouse I'm having a hard time switching back lol It's like L2 interference

La lectura del nombre del papa León XIV es «León catorce», y no «León decimocuarto». #recoFundéu https://t.co/HoFK6ZGoK7

"What's there to do outside the CBD?" was a common response I received, so this thread basically shows some hidden gems outside the city where you can visit and enjoy: (West and North-West)
50% of Tourists: "I love Singapore. It's so cool and futuristic" Other 50% of Tourists: "I hate Singapore. It's so artificial and expensive" Singapore in Question:

If God didn't want me to use the em dash, why did he enshrine it in nature? In the horizon line—the lightning-harrowed bough—the canyon's pink striation—the pupil of the goat
