不講道理的人是偏執狂 不能講道理的人是傻子 不敢講道理的人是奴隸

Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. 🙌🙌🙌

Japanese Central Government Agency (7) Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology

"Education in a ruined country" promotion agency. In recent years they have been credited with bringing Japanese universities down from world standards. In addition, 'relaxed education' brought about the devastation of education.

In terms of foreign language education as well, by emphasizing only "listening and speaking" in the basic English education, the Japanese are promoted to be nothing more than servants of the British and Americans. It is a so-called semi-lingualization that makes it impossible to think logically.

This central government office has no reason to exist.

日本の中央官庁（７）文部科学省

「亡国の教育」推��官庁。近年では彼らは日本の大学を世界的水準から低下させたのに功績がある。また「ゆとり教育」で教育の荒廃を招いた。

外国語教育にしても、基盤の英語教育で「聞く、話す」のみ重視することにより、日本人が英米人の召使いにしかなれないことを推進している。論理的思考ができない、いわゆるセミ・リンガル化だ。

この中央官庁は、存在意味がない。

Remember the 6 year old girl who was surrounded by Israeli tanks and the red crescent couldn't reach her? Her name is Hind Hamadeh. Here you can hear the phone call her 15 year old sister, Layan Hamadeh, made with the medics. She was killed exactly a moment later including all people in the car, except for 6 year old Hind who was stuck in the car with the dead bodies of her family, Israeli tanks and IDF surrounding her, shooting, preventing anybody to reach her.

That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.

palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.

Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.

This is Hind.

edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here

And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:

No, this was not an ISAT reference!

Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT

(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)

If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that

Simon would love a little freak (affectionate) of a partner. Like you collect weird things, like taxidermy or bones? Say less, babes. He's getting you an animal skull for your birthday.

Is your thing clowns? Man is scouring the internet for some obscure clown clock because you saw it on Ebay once and complained about the price.

You likes bugs? Great, he's got a friend named Roach. Y'all be freaks (affectionate) together. But also he's building you a butterfly garden, or buying you a pet spider, or whatever.

It doesn't even have to be weird. You could just really like the ocean, or horses, or whatever. And I just realized what I'm getting at is that Simon would love a neurodivergent partner...

And he would!! He'd listen to you ramble and rant, and he'd be making a mental list of things to look for when he buys you presents. You could be hyperfixated on literally anything, and Simon would find a way to get you a present related to that interest. This man would move heaven and earth, if it meant making you happy.
