the brazilian government is the poster child for framing social democratic mediocrity as pragmatic socialism, this is the reason we're the only country to have abolished twitter only to reinstate it a month later

another example of Japan's indiviualism vs the US's collectivist culture: Japan has a wide variety of first-person pronouns with which speakers may self-actualize, whereas Americans rely on others to validate their identities through third-person pronouns

ooooh good point

I like having a gas stove but this one truly feels like it only has 2 settings. max power, this will burn your food in seconds, and medium low, but not suitable for a simmer. if you want an actual simmer temperature you need to forgo what little safety you have and turn the knob backwards after igniting it and risk a small breeze blowing up your house

ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

*5 year old voice* it occurs to me the world must be very frightening if you're tall. to pass by a door and nearly hit your head. there's a whole new dimension to a fear of crowded spaces that I'd never considered

I think part of the mysteriousness of murakami's writing is because he does not know how to write women. so every piece of dialogue involving one comes across as much more surreal than he likely intends, which gives it this dream like feeling
