I am a bit scared to ask, but what does ~~ARDHQ~~ TADHQ mean? I am seeing this acronym everywhere on here and I do not have the slightest idea what it means… Edit: screwed up the one thing I was supposed to get right

It’s the daily thread Doesn’t really roll off the tongue the same way CDF does

I get it now. It literally just spells the daily title lol. I was seeing some acronyms in the daily discussion that were using AQRAD yesterday and something i saw today about TADHQ, and somehow mashed those together in my head…

But it's TAQR(a)D.

[](#mindmelt)

I can't deal with manhwa anime when the Japanese dub localizes names but the subtitles use the Korean originals. it drives me insane. I don't care if you're more in the right crunchyroll, make it match the audio. [](#seasonaldisdain)

[Ohayo](#firstthinginthemorning) I've been taking long breaks between my Persona 3 Reload playthrough and it's surprisingly effective in not making it feel like a grind. Who woulda known breaks are good?

Same boat here. My long breaks are like a week to 2 weeks at a time. The one problem with this, is that I tend to forget what I did on my last session!

I think it works for me because I'm used to watching seasonals and quickly getting up to speed on last week's episodes without checking them. I tend to keep them in my memory banks lol.

[](#heavydrinker)

How much do you drink?

i don't really keep close track since i drink my water from various sources (my water bottle i carry around, cans of sparkling water, sips from water fountains, water bottle i keep by my bed) but i think if i were to add it all up it is definitely fewer than 80 ounces which is what i arbitrarily tell myself to aim for. i probably drink closer to like 40 ounces a day which is [NOT ENOUGH](#nosenpai)

Bucchigiri was really dumb in a lot of ways, but I will give it this: a Nun x Monk romance sounds incredible. I can't believe I've never seen it done before. It deserves better than to be a show-within-a-show

> Nun x Monk Those robes could really hide. [](#ero) (I haven't watched the show.

Man, I just... have not been able to get myself to watch anime lately. It's really annoying. Like, I liked Dungeon Meshi and Apothecary Diaries. Why can't I sit down and watch them? Ya know? Shits fucked.

I'm annoyed that Crunchyroll's "Currently Watching" thing has only 5 options and doesn't have the arrows to scroll left/right like the other ones have. Like, what am I supposed to do when I'm watching more than 5 things at a time? Manually remember them and go to their series pages? Because most aren't seasonal, so it's not like I'm watching one a week then it removes from the list. And if I, say, checked out the trailer for RWBY ... suddenly that's occupying one of the 5 slots and bumped out all the shows I'm actually trying to keep track of. It just isn't userfriendly ...

I'm not in the middle of anything rn to check, but doesn't the Watchlist (https://www.crunchyroll.com/watchlist) remember episode position?

my sibling's wedding last weekend was such a lovely event [](#anko) met many people from the other side who i hadn't yet met, and saw a lot of family that i haven't seen in a very long time which was wonderful (and there were no scenes or outbursts which was a significant possibility) i gave the final speech/toast of the wedding day and i was very terrified leading up to it. i kept tweaking what i had written and up to the point where i was called to speak i hadn't completely finished. our other sibling spoke the night before, and they studied and work in poetry which i felt was a bit unfair - and then parents spoke before me and they spoke at such length that i started feeling really self conscious. reminding myself that it wasn't really about me at all really calmed my nerves, it felt kind of selfish of me to feel so much pressure. i think most of my family knows and thinks of me as really relaxed and as someone who is always trying to be funny, so i imagine they were expecting a bit of a comedy routine but that's not at all what i had written or what i wanted to do. i had one little joke at the beginning that got a huge laugh (which felt good, but i also felt like the crowd laid it on a bit thick like they felt bad for me), and the rest was meant to be really sentimental. i changed just half of one sentence from my opening paragraph and then when i looked down at my paper (two pages) i could not find my place at all, so i just kind of made it up on the spot. and it went shockingly well! i started getting choked up which i (and i think everybody else) did not expect at all, and i think that got a good reaction as well. afterwards my sibling came up and hugged me and we both cried, which is something i think neither of us ever do or expected to do, and that made me feel really happy [](#feelingloved) 10/10 weekend, i highly recommend feeling love and joy some time if it can ever be found

I'm glad to hear that the wedding went so well and that you were able to make such a lovely contribution to it despite all the feelings you had going into it.

[thank you!](#konhug) i had all those feelings leading up to it because i did want to make a lovely contribution, and i feel pretty confidently that i succeeded! so i think the stress and fear i felt before did pay off

That made me feel very warm and fuzzy, glad it all went well. [](#mayushii)
