ngl i'd forgotten that the "GP" in "Super Hero Wars GP: Kamen Rider #3" stood for "grand prix" really love all the riders stancing the fuck up
i think one of the few dutch traditions i feel any sort of pride about is transporting items that are too big to fit on a bike on a bike. a bakfiets patriot, if you will
our landlord had to be explained today that rent price regulation is binding rather than subjective, because she showed up to a legal hearing with "i object to the rent reduction because the new rent price is too low" hadn't looked into the law at all, didn't appear to know where she was. amateur.
it's so hard to look imposing in a summer dress, i gotta find one that'll make me look scary
🚨 🚨 snakedevil lovekov is rapidly approaching your location 🚨🚨
today is the first (and indeed the last) roomfieversary day of the year. rejoice!
our landlord seems to have a "this sign can't stop me, i can't read" attitude to the law pertaining to tenant's rights whilst also threatening us with legal action
something about owning a second house rots your brain lol. our landlord wants us out by next month even though that's several kinds of illegal (no grounds for termination, notice of termination must be given 3 months in advance)
the wikipedia article "Official Cantonese translations of English names for British officials" has a fairly long section about how one english governor got his name translated to toilet bowl and this motivated setting up a translation service for names
does he not know that you can press LP+LK to tech throws
(cw gun violence) rewatching this classic of the kamen rider movie catalogue. opening remains very strong no matter how many times i watch it
man they were so good at making kamen rider movies back in 2009-2013
finally found taiwanese dubs of some of my favourite kamen rider movies so now i get to watch the Big Machine Plan unfold in a whole new language :)
writing what i hope is a scary enough letter to our landlord saying that based on 7:207 sub 2 Burgerlijk wetbook we're entitled to rent reduction and that it'd be nice for her to agree so we don't have to claim it via a the court/Huurcommissie
it seems funny at first but actually loftys only quote Book 7, Titel 4 Section 2 of the dutch civil code when they're in distress
it's a little-known fact that civil marriage was extended to lesbians in 2001 on the joint recommendation of the Staatscommissie Openstelling huwelijk, the Unie van Waterschappen and the Stormvloedwaarschuwingsdienst
i'm not very far in but i think kamen rider gavv might have the sauce
quite a lot of overlap between me looking up characters in the dictionary by drawing them and a GDQ TAS run of Dr Kawashima's Brain Training for the Nintendo DS
decent chance that next tuesday we're finally putting the yaoi back into yaoi sunday
did a little write-up of how ditching my smartphone is going. i meant to do so earlier but then university exams happened loftywords.neocities.org/posts/2026-0...

the EU making replacable battaries mandatory for electronics sold on the internal market from february 2027 onwards is nice, though in the short term a lot of companies might pull out because they don't wanna bother redesigning their shit to be repairable
selling things online is so annoying. for some reason people keep messaging me asking me what the least amount of money is that i'd accept. idk dude that's your job, you're meant to do an offer.
i was having fun trying to transliterate my name in chinese with a friend and there was a lot of "i should avoid the character for death right" and "no that one used for insects. that one is for frogs" sorta felt like dodging the 7 deathly plagues of egypt writing my name
listening to a lawyer discuss a defamation lawsuit they're handling and it's really funny to hear talk of the defendant spreading "false facts" about their clients philosphers across the world in shambles at discovering the existence of facts that aren't true
shoutout to the vietnamese tokusatsu fans that make shipping videos of characters that barely talk to eachother
"i'm definitely going to connect with you on linkedin to keep up with all your cool ventures" "and i am going to the brown's website to order a delicious burger so that captain marvelous can wear it" "goodnight!"
