I used to pick up lunch for my friend while we were hanging out at his work and sometimes he would send me with his card. Unfortunately that meant he had to divulge his private information and while he would trust me with it, I always knew that it can be a little uncomfortable sharing one's PIN. Thankfully I have a small little short term memory storage area by the name of Ian. Give him a few numbers to hold on to for a designated time and he'll make that his whole focus. Once the time for using it passes it is gone from his mind and thusly, OURS. The next time we had to use his card we would have to ask again what it was because we simply didn't have that memory anymore. It can be nice to be able to get some use out of memory problems.

Panel 1: Jak has Ian in the background, sitting on his shoulders and clinging to his face while Jak's friend is handing him a debit card. His friend says "Here you go...the pin is 2493...though I'd appreciate it if you'd..." to which Jak replies "Don't worry, I got a way of storing short term memory."
Panel 2: Jak is walking down the street and Ian is bouncing around him excitedly, repeating "2493" over and over again until it fills up the page.
Panel 3: Jak and Ian are standing at a counter where someone is working, Jak holds a bag in one hand and a debit card reader in the other, and he's holding the card reader so Ian can input the numbers. Ian presses them and says "2....4....9....3!"
Panel 4: Jak is back and handing his friend his card back, while holding the food in the other hand, saying "Here you go, and I've already forgot your PIN." the friend says "Awesome, let's eat!" and Ian is in the back, trying to remember the number, saying "2...23...uh...27...uhh...shoot..." indicating that he has already forgotten it.

my top bit of advice going into the new year: compliment people. especially strangers. literally everyone you interact with if you can. when you buy coffee in the morning compliment the barista's tattoos. when you're chatting with a coworker tell them that by the way you like their outfit. always find something they've chosen to do on purpose. nail polish, jewellery, tattoos, hair colour/style, statement accessory, outfit, etc are all good bets. things people hope will be noticed. things that aren't too personal so it doesn't make them uncomfortable (eg probably not their physical features). i've gotten into the habit of scanning everyone i talk to for something about them that i think is cool so i can tell them. it's a great habit because it makes me notice people and realise just how many neat little details there are in people's presentation of themselves that might pass me by if i wasn't paying attention. and it brings out so much joy. you'd be surprised how much it disarms people to receive an unexpected compliment from someone they don't know. it is the most sincere smile you will see all day long. it feels nice to make people happy but it also means you win the social interaction. establish dominance by complimenting a stranger's earrings and disappearing into the fog

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened.
this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it
please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see
