This is a mashup featuring Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean and Ariana Grande's One Last Time. It's a tune that's been playing in my mind for the past 24 hours and I can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet.

If I had to guess, the person who did the remix wasn't a professional DJ and did it out of fun, but it was a very good mashup. It's not the current one you find on TikTok or YouTube's top results. I also believe said person uploaded their work onto SoundCloud, but I no longer remember their name. Unlike the current pool of mashups we have, this one uses What Do You Mean as the tune, and has Ariana harmonizing at the start.

I dug through my old social media posts and found this link, which has been removed by YouTube for copyright issues. Someone also made a gif from this mashup's MV. If anyone knows the remix in question, I would appreciate if they shared .mp3 file for this.

As a child, I was pretty sure I caught Chickenpox, but a trip to the doctor's said it was scabies, so I coursed through my entire life never having it, even up until this point.

Not gonna jinx myself, of course... When I was 26, knowing chickenpox can turn into shingles the later you get it, I went to the clinic to get myself a chickenpox vaccine. Nothing happened either. Don't know if the vaccine is lifelong, it seems to have a span?

Occasionally, I hear someone at the workplace caught chickenpox, life goes on.

What about those of you without chickenpox?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the discourse surrounding supporting/demanding a Scarlet Witch rework and being less of a dedicated SW main if you don't, is starting to get a little out of hand, and frankly, quite silly.

Regardless of whether you prefer her current kit or want her to be reworked, I think it stands to reason the devs will always decide the next best course of balance changes for her, even if the changes do not resonate with us.

Please do not fall prey to the notion that you are fraud or less of a SW main just because you disagree with the vocal bunch who believe she needs a rework, or feel the need to keep quiet just because some individuals in the community will belittle and bully you for feeling differently about the kit and how it speaks to you. The mob mentality in our community is frankly, a disappointing and toxic aspect of being a part of Scarlet Witch Mains and the mods are more than aware of the culture, hence they are actively creating safe and secure spaces for all players to voice their opinion (thanks subreddit and Discord mods!)

I want to be clear about this, this isn't a post to say Scarlet Witch does or does not deserve a rework, rather, it's to remind both sides of players that their opinions, when expressed constructively, are valid.

What's concerning is seeing various posts made earlier today by a vocal group claiming they are speaking on behalf of a majority of the community when they say Wanda deserves a rework.

If the devs decide Wanda needs a rework and do so accordingly, it likely means they believe her current kit has reached a point where it is no longer functional or impactful in the game's current state. It has nothing to do with players pressuring and requesting daily rework. It does play a role in contributing to the decision-making process, but it isn't the only trigger nor deciding factor. At the end of the day, the devs are actively tracking performance numbers, statistics, and matchup favors etc.

I haven't had this much fun in Hollow exploration since the annual Hollow Zero expansion.

Ulidim reminds me of Nemesis from RE3(R), except Ulidim has clear conditions for appearing. Between the time ticking in the background, players scrambling to scavenge the highest value item, and knowing it will find its way to you, it all creates a high-tension, nerve-wracking moment.

You know it doesn't take much to deter it. You just need to destroy the Cacophony Shield before it'll retreat, but you also know it's fast.

I'll take this over the TV mode people won't stop crying over. This feels immersive, genuinely explorative, and it's a great way to increase replayability. Just wish this game mode was permanent.

Caught Spiderman BND last night at 1-Utama, was running a little late but arrived during the first ten minutes of the film. Made my way to the middle of the middle row where my seat was without much effort.

When I came to my seat, I noticed someone placed a bag there. I gestured that was my seat, the (Chinese) girl moved her bag away. Not an apology, no raise of a hand to indicate guilt, not even an eye contact that would imply she knew she was at fault.

I sat down, enjoyed the movie the like the rest. Another 10 minutes in, this girl gets up, switches over to the empty seat to her boyfriend's left. Then the boyfriend decidedly dumps their empty popcorn box by the now-empty chair from the girl.

Part of me was so tempted to walk out and inform the management that the Chinese couple to me left were displaying poor cinema etiquette, but I didn't wanna cause a scene. It was painfully obvious the girl was tagging along, and she probably wasn't a hardcore MCU fan like her bf.

Somehow, I get the sense that she wasn't happy there was someone seated next to her because the most middle row only had four people. Imagine the first 5 seats beginning from the middle, a Chinese couple to the left, another to the right, with a gap in-between. And I conveniently sat right smack in the middle because I assumed it was a lucky catch.

The Chinese couple to my right by comparison, were respectful and kept to themselves.

Behind me, there was a group involving a female voice who would quip every now and then to certain scenes in the film. Surprised no one told her to stfu. An hour in, a Malay abang's mobile phone rings at max volume with Britney Spear's ring tone. No attempts to silence it on the spot. Ringtone went on for 5 second before dude started getting a little antsy about reducing the volume.

On the way out, as I passed one of the cinema staff, I very casually informed them about what I saw, specifically the Chinese couple with the girl who was rude with me. They shared that you can inform the management because these are legitimate offense that disrupt other moviegoers' experience.

Exited through the parking lot, this giant Alphard/Veilfire-like vehicle with 30% tinted glass narrowly brushes me, I see the same Chinese girl looking at me for no apparent reason.

Hall 6 @ GSC 1-Utama, 11:35PM D06, D07, later D05 and D06. If you're the Chinese boyfriend or the girlfriend seeing this, you know who you are. I don't know what I did to elicit all that passive aggressive vibes from you, but you guys sure have poor cinema etiquette.

At the risk of spoiling things, a larger part of the fandom correctly predicted Sink's character. This is as far as I'll go to say it.

Outside that, the character's backstory has been modernized and further humanized, and I see a very mini Lizzie Olsen in Sink. She's great with onscreen grief, and with Sink returning in Secret Wars, also many speculating Olsen to AT LEAST appear too, I hope these two will share screen time.

I see lots of potential in Sadie Sink and her following in the footsteps of Lizzie Olsen as an actress who cements herself in grief films.

Two weeks ago, I (33M) befriended a boy (24M) at a local cafe that was hosting World Cup finals. We shared a table together as it was full house, and bonded over our mutual support for Spain. When all was said, done, and celebrated over Spain's victory, we grabbed breakfast together following the finals, and I dropped him off at his workplace. He even got the bill for breakfast despite my protests. We exchanged social media handles and stayed in touch with one another.

Fast forward to last Sunday, I received a text from him requesting $250. He claimed he was at the airport trying to fly home, and his luggage exceeded the weight limit, and he was short on cash to pay for the fee. Meanwhile, he couldn't get a hold of his parents and neither of his friends were available on such short notice. Knowing what it's like to be financially helpless and thinking he was trustworthy, I wired the necessary funds to him, and he promised to return the money the first thing he lands back home (domestic flight).

I waited that day, and he failed the honor his promise. This would drag on for another four days, with apologies and (somewhat reasonable) excuses peppered, though I started scrutinizing his responses and words, as I noticed things weren't adding up, or he seemed to have lost control of the narrative he spun.

Eventually, I realized this could have been a scam and conducted a background check into his identity via his employer, as I knew the name of his workplace. Thankfully, the management was kind enough to confirm his identity, and even shared he was at work over the weekend leading up to present day. They also did share that he has ongoing incidents of borrowing money from colleagues at the workplace. The management further offered their assistance to speak to him about this, as they would like to avoid any bad PR/publicity, but requested I address this outside work if possible.

When attempts to get the boy pay up fell through, I eventually roped in the management. A few hours later, he calls me to affirm me that he would get the payment in by Thursday EoD, and asked if I had whistleblew him to his employers. I admitted to the act but maintained that my foremost intentions to confirm the veracity of his stories.

Later that evening, he eventually got the money in, rang me to explain his side of the story. I won't go into detail, but he cited personal and family financial struggles. He also did share that he was concerned this little incident might reflect badly on his professional record, and might cause him to lose his part-time job (he's a college student).

Part of me feels horrible for the way things happened, another part of me thinks with the amount of excuses he's given, this could just be another sob story. Genuinely, I wouldn't mind if he needed time to pay $250, what upset me deeply was manipulating and exploiting my trust. But I also can't help but feel horrible knowing he is at risk of being terminated because of me.

There's been running gag for me where every time I visit a Mediterranean restaurant and order a shawarma, I end up having to send the first plate back to the kitchen because the wrap/bread shows up toasted with the grease, even when I explicitly requested my shawarma untoasted.

The waiters will insist it's been made and I have to take it, but I usually try to address it amicably and tell them they can serve another table the toasted shawarma as the chef makes another. I think most chefs preparing my shawarma either think I don't know my stuff, or I'm high and drunk for asking for an untoasted shawarma.

Repeat returns to a restaurant usually results in the kitchen crew catching on fast and they usually end up enjoying making untoasted shawarma because it's less work for them. Sometimes, when my friends are the ones out ordering on my behalf, they have to make a scene and shout "DO NOT TOAST THE SHAWARMA" to ensure the waiters get the note.

Nothing Ken about the behavior, it's just usually hilarious because I get a lot of funny stares. At one point, a restaurant manager even came to ask if I don't take my shawarma toasted.

The answer is I hate the grease that comes off the wrap. The chef can toast my bread all they want, as long as it's not oiled, greased, or cooked on a surface that has oil. On the rare occasion, I take my shawarma toasted, especially if it's beef shawarma because the beef meat has been cooked and braised in its juice to remain moist for long periods, and the heat on the wrap from toasting acts as a seal to absorb the grease.

Vlada Roslyakova's walk has been stuck on my mind for the past 24 hours and I keep returning to watch shorts of her iconic Tommy Hilfiger 2010 walk. I've seen Gisele Bundchen strut from her heydays of VSFS and haute couture, I've watched Shalom Harlow do her thing, but neither are as hypnotizing and seamless as this one walk here.

Got me thinking if there are male models in the HF scene who might have their unique walk or strut, or is that just something we only see in drag shows because male models are expected to be more masculine and stiff with their styles.

I don't recall any top male supermodels, i.e. Sean O'Pry or Pietro Boselli ever having an iconic walk. It's the same old move of the limbs, puffed out chest, look broody.

It is simply because it doesn't satisfy my fantasy of what a heavily Chinese Jajangmyeon, Hakka Noodles or Noodles in Meat Sauce should taste like. I like my mine with clear savory flavors, and Heng Jie's noodle has a distinct sweetness to it. I had one when I visited the stall, and took another portion home for research purposes.

I tried one with the dried shrimps and chili flakes, and the other with just smidge of the same dried chili. The results were the same, the sweetness comes through, and that's even when I tossed my noodles at home in olive oil and miso, served it with greens and coriander to cut through the sweetness.

The sweetness is everywhere, the ground meat, the deep-fried fermented pork belly. The wantons were mostly savory, but they alongside the fish products do little to contrast the sweetness. I will say taking the noodles with a generous serving of dried shrimp-chili flakes does lend it an earthiness, umami, and heat that nicely mellows out the sweetness from the meat and sauce, but that sweetness will still come through.

At home, taking it WITHOUT a single serving of the meat sauce and a negligible amount of dried chili, even with my olive oil + miso mixture, the sweetness from the ground meat and fermented pork belly cancels out any salt or savory in the noodles.

The noodle was amazing though. I don't know where Ms. Heng sources her noodles, but she cooks it with such perfection that it has a satisfying al-dente to it. It is dusted heavily in flour to ensure each strand remains separated.

But I can see why people return. Above the food, I believe it is Ms. Heng's warmth and compassion that keeps people coming back. I'm sure there are people out there who genuinely enjoy her food and return for the taste. Just not me. I'd return because her generosity and no-frills cooking shine through. Everything that you see about Heng Jie Noodles on social media is as is. She serves you a small cup of iced Kumquat Lime drink to quench your thirst, offers to refill your cup, and doesn't charge you additionally for the drink. If you enjoy the drink, she sells a few tens of bottle for you to take home, priced @ RM2.50 each. If she's out of beverages, she serves you water. Simple as that.

Every thing is managed with a single table, a flower pot by the side loaded with burning charcoal and a large stove pot of hot water that she uses to cook the noodles. She has some bottles of water, a small chiller box where she keeps her ice and drinks chilled. She pays someone to come and wash the dishes, and has some of the regulars in the area run errands for her, in return she treats them to whatever she has. It's pretty clear she has no stakes in this, she's simply making enough to fund her medical treatment/expenses for her large swollen leg, speaking of which, if anyone in this sub is a medical professional, feel free to render your service because it seems like she's struggling with her leg.

She does everything sitting down, and has shared of her struggles with mobility. Also saw her accidentally scald her hand trying to lift the stove pot of boiling water to refill it with water. She does have her regulars who frequent her business to keep going, and you'll see passerby every now and then paying her stall a visit, only for her to turn them away because she only serves 30 bowls a day. I was lucky enough I got the last portion for takeout. And yes, the portion sizes are generous. Again, she has no stakes in this, and I do think what she genuinely enjoys is the company and people that surround her.

According to some food videos, she's lost all her family members and simply makes enough to get by her days. A bowl of noodles is priced @ RM8, and she offers extra noodles without any additional charges if you request it. Even the meat portions are generous and she insists that you need not add on anything.

If you're feeling charitable, and you really wanna show your love for small-time businesses, I think Heng Jie Noodles is one that deserves your time and attention. If you're here for a Michelin experience, this isn't it, but if you want the warmth and sense of close-knit that come with it, this place will make you feel like home. When I was there, I sat with a group of 7-8 people, all sitting down and surrounding Ms. Heng as some took turns sharing their stories with her while the rest of us listened on.

If you wanna taste her noodles, the best time to head over is ~11AM leading into 12PM. Anytime after 12PM, you might run the risk of selling out because some customers will get take outs too. She claims to open between 11AM - 2PM, but she sold out by 1 on the dot.

Have fun!

I'm distinctively referring to drivers who roll up flashing their tail light behind yours in an attempt to get you to move out of the way, or someone who deliberately tails you inches away from your trunk to add pressure.

These drivers don't necessarily cuss or shout at you, but they resort to a series of underhanded tactics to get their way. Some might deny you the right of way by deliberately accelerating ahead when they see you getting in their path, or preventing you from making a signaled turn.

Some may also be fond zig-zaggers. I've dated folks who are incredibly sweet and nice outside the car, but when they get behind the wheels, they're an entirely different soul and it's hard for me to get behind the idea of seeing them for anything serious thereafter.

I can appreciate someone who drives fast and is careful about it, whilst boasting competent road etiquette without putting their passengers in a high-tense situation, but I don't think I can deal with someone who is a straight up road bully.

I know it's a no-brainer question, but I'm curious if many people think this would easily be a dealbreaker, or if anyone has stories about breaking up with someone over aggressive driving issues, I'm keen to hear them.
