Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I just realized there is not really a word for "cuddling" in Chinese Languages... probably a reflection of the lack of Public Display of Affection¹ in Chinese Culture... (¹and sometimes even at home)
22·13 days agoNot the same word but in the many Filipino dialects, apparently there is no word for hike. All my relatives could only come up with the equivalent for “walk”.
Historians incorrectly discussing doom scrolling: Here we have a random Internet person discussing the popular method of playing the video game Doom on a PC, which the controls are modified for a scrolling click-wheel on a mouse can perform a rapid-fire shot from a weapon. It was rather unclear what they meant by asking the person reading what someone wanted them to do in replace of this.

9·1 month agoI once contacted EA support over a used copy of the Mass Effect trilogy (the trifold case that held each game). I thought my game had a glitch, which turned out to be a common Xbox One backwards compatibility issue. I kept getting an error telling me I needed the DLC installed for ME1 to play the base game. All I had to do was reinstall the game.
EA Support just said go buy a new copy. I don’t think I could even find it. I didn’t even have the complete packing. They straight up didn’t want to help me.
These are seriously the funniest comments I have read in a while. 🤣

Is it angry because of the fire or that it was rescued?
I have to look after my mom’s three cats for two weeks, which she insists will want to sleep next to me.
Usually they don’t want to be near me.
As someone who has lived in California their entire life, I tell people to call me only if it’s a 6.0 or above.
There is a sequence in New Moon that is a time jump of multiple seasons. There a literal like four blank pages that indicate the character, Bella, is in a catatonic-like state. She literally can’t form a response to what was occurring around her. Many readers assume this is a cheap way of doing a time jump but even the movie depicts Bella a catatonic state.
I recall we get a sense of internal monologue but everything coming from Edward’s POV is lacking any depth or emotion. When Bella speaks, it is monotone. If you’ve seen the movies you’d think Kristen Stewart was giving a deflected performance that might suggest some disinterest in the role. Not saying I enjoy the movies or the books (as an adult), but this performance to me is spot on for how Bella is depicted.
EDIT: Unrelated, the cars in the movies are not a product placement. Mayers wrote Edward driving a Volvo.
I don’t recall any suggestion of their intelligence. Just that whenever Edward attempted to “read” her mind, he could never glean a single thought. It was a blank void.
Not just a minor but person who might have a mental disorder/illness. In case you never read Twilight, the vampires have unique abilities, Edward’s being telepathy. When he meets Bella, he is unable to detect any thoughts from her. The entire book Bella is literally described as having no subconscious thoughts.
