What do you mean by authoritarian states that heavily censor the internet? I guess they haven't figured out a way to break through Chinese GFW. LOL

Saw this drawing (Figure 1) in the Animal Crossing. Then remembered I saw similar makeup in a Japanese musical (Figure 2).

It looks like the black marker/makeup at the corners of the mouth is to show the personality of a character. In case this, it means this character is evil/vile.

First time visiting a dentist. Did a tooth cleaning. Then they found a hole on one of my teeth, asking me if I wanted to fill it. Of course I want to fill it.

Before the operation, the doctor asks me if I want to use sedation. I asked how pain it will be, the doctor said it will only be a little bit more painful than the cleaning. So I decide to not use any sedation.

And guess what? It's super painful. The cleaning is more like scratching the surface. But the drilling is inside my head. It feels like there is a group of construction crews working in my head.

Luckily, my teeth are doing great considering in the past years I didn't give them too much care. I only switched to an electric toothbrush last week.

Window frame antenna, receive only. Can listen to NHK (locator OL14). The swr and impedance are not suitable for transmission. Maybe a tuner can help?
