Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but this one looks more like an Asian Lady Beetle based on the color, spots, and head markings. I only recently learned the difference.
The timing of the post was a coincidence (the actual inspiration is in a separate comment), but this is indeed a great example of the title. I just read up on this incident, and oof…😬
The coffee chain triggered an uproar when it attempted to promote a series of stainless-steel tumblers it called “SS Tank” by declaring May 18 to be “Tank Day.” The date marks the anniversary of the 1980 pro-democracy uprising in the southern city of Gwangju. It was violently suppressed by Seoul’s military government at the time, which deployed troops, tanks and helicopters, leaving hundreds dead or injured.
The campaign further fueled outrage by using the slogan “Thwack it on the table!” which many read as a reference to a notorious 1987 police statement that attempted to cover up the torture death of student activist Park Jong-chol. Authorities had falsely said Park died after investigators “hit the desk with a thwack.”
What inspired the post: a cigarette lighter that was handed out as part of an election campaign with the slogan “FOR OUR CHILDREN” on it. The lighter is too bulky for children’s hands /s
Personally, I enjoy making neat, easy to follow step-by-step tutorials for my various interests and forwarding them to people who want to learn something I know about. Growing up, I didn’t have anyone to show me things and it was often overwhelming having to figure everything out on my own without a clear starting point, so I don’t want anyone else to feel the same way or to feel ashamed for not knowing something.
I love languages so I would also offer free translation for people’s projects upon request and would also translate song lyrics when translation software was much worse than it is now.
When I can, I donate anonymously to causes I support and donate blood too.
I get a trim and dye it to my signature color once every 3-4 months. The most I do when it comes to styling is a ponytail, maybe braids if I’m feeling fancy.
The real tragedy is countries with Mexican food not having Japanese toilets.
I never understood the claims about Mexican food causing explosive shits but I do understand why those with weak stomachs keep trying to eat it anyway.
I was once invited to join a coffee reading event, to which I responded by asking if I should bring a book or whether they had a specific one in mind. Wish I could say it was was wit, but nope, just genuine confusion lol.
A VW Harlequin specifically? No. But if there was a newer, quality car at a reasonable price in equally bright colors and a more coordinated pattern, I would absolutely consider it.
Nice photo!
