Reposted by PearAdam Sharp @adamcsharp.bsky.social · 01/03/2025A German word for being embarrassed by the actions of someone else is Fremdscham, or “foreign shame.” A similar word from Icelandic is aulahrollur, which is quite tricky to translate but basically means something along the lines of “cringe quake” or “douchebag chills” 853318793

Pear @pearpairpare.bsky.social · 04/01/2025One benefit to having so little to post and mostly living in replies is that it becomes really easy to ferret out the bot accounts. The no-post onlyfans and pre-debut Vtubers are also pretty obvious. 020
Pear @pearpairpare.bsky.social · 01/01/2025You're gonna get more posts from me tonight than probably for the rest of the year combined, thank you and I'm sorry. 010
Pear @pearpairpare.bsky.social · 01/01/2025People say 30-somethings are all supposed to be asleep by midnight tonight but I was like "yeah absolutely not" and I'm chillin' with my drunk self, having a good time. Hope everyone else is doing well out there, I really do. I wish I could share some of the warmth I'm feeling right now with you. 010
Pear @pearpairpare.bsky.social · 01/01/2025I hope your new year is good. Mine was pretty swell, spent some time with a good friend talking about all kinds of stuff. It's funny how no matter how old you get, some things just never change. 000
Pear @pearpairpare.bsky.social · 31/12/2024It's funny, using one of those follower-mover-over things to migrate from the other place and seeing people you follow who haven't bothered to unfollow the fake/bot accounts (because when you visit their page it shows who is following them). Gonna have to vet more thoroughly later. 020

Pear @pearpairpare.bsky.social · 13/12/2024I get a lot of bots following me on here, some of them better at hiding it than others. It's easy enough to block them, but I often worry about the risk of accidentally blocking a real person who was just being friendly. 000

Pear @pearpairpare.bsky.social · 07/12/2024I don't really have a main in Ultimate, but I've loved this blue-haired pretty boy since Melee.
