WAVEYA. PAYING A VISIT TO SCHOOLS

I knew "Waveya", a Korean dancing group, thanks to the success of Gangnam Style, since there's a video where they appear choreographing the song.




It seems these girls use to pay visits to Korean schools to show the students their skills dancing. I don't know if all schools in Korea are the same, but there're two videos where you can see one only-boys school and one only-girls school. I think we can realize the negative point of separating them...

First, the girls, quite demure. Committed to the task, but with respect.




And now the only-boys school. Look how the hormones lose control and the excitation grows.

TED TALKS

TED Talks (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) are those short but punchy presentations — usually under 18 minutes — where smart, interesting people share ideas they believe are “worth spreading.” And to be fair, a lot of them actually are.

They started back in the '80s as a half-tech, half-artsy kind of event, but really blew up in the 2000s when the talks were posted online for free. That’s when it all went viral. Now there’s TEDx — local versions popping up in cities everywhere, with speakers of all kinds: scientists, activists, artists, teachers, ex-cons, even kids.

The talks are super polished, both in content and delivery. Everything is packaged like it’s the idea that’ll change your life. Sometimes it is. Sometimes... not so much. But the format hooks you: good storytelling, clear messaging, and a closing punch that leaves you thinking (or reposting it to look deeper than you actually are).

AMATEUR FLESH: VENGEANCECHIRP

Nika-chan is 19 and a hardcore anime fan. Her thing with cosplay goes way beyond just dressing up — she becomes the character. When she's in costume, she’s not playing around. She is the role.

She’s into weird ideas, playful challenges, and anything that's a little off the beaten path. She loves getting messages, hearing bold suggestions, and vibing with people who have that same mix of geeky and twisted energy.
When she’s not slipping into a new character, she’s drawing, reading manga, or getting lost in her favorite music. She’s all about whatever sparks a feeling — a beat, a panel, or a cheeky message that hits just right.

If you're obsessed with a certain anime, into the schoolgirl, neko, or magical girl vibe, or just curious how far someone’s imagination can really go — Nika might just be what you’ve been looking for.

AI IS FINDING YOU A GIRLFRIEND

Matchmakers were women who specialized in arranging marriages, acting as intermediaries between families to find suitable partners. Their role was crucial in many cultures throughout history, especially in societies where arranged marriages prioritized social, economic, and familial compatibility over romantic love.

Across different eras and regions, these women had specific names:

• In medieval and Renaissance Europe, they were known as matchmakers or celestinas, like the character in La Celestina by Fernando de Rojas.
• In China, the "Mei Po" (媒婆) played a key role in arranged marriage traditions.
• In Russia and Eastern Europe, "svakha" were women specialized in finding partners for young people.
• In the Jewish tradition, "shadchanim" were professional matchmakers responsible for arranging marriages within the community.

Their work wasn’t just about pairing couples; they also negotiated dowries, ensured compatibility, and made sure the marriage was beneficial for both families. While their role has faded in many societies, matchmakers still exist today, especially in religious communities or cultures where arranged marriages remain a common practice.

Now, let’s ask AI to find you a girlfriend—let’s see what it comes up with and if you like any of the options.
