  • The comments from the "Democratic strategist and former senior adviser to Stacey Abrams" are so out of touch. "I think a lot of people voted with a false sense of security,” said Smith. “Folks were betting that if they voted to enshrine abortion protections, Donald Trump wouldn’t actually co-sign a national abortion ban."

    They don't like the candidate that they see as a continuance of the last 4 years where things have only gotten worse. They don't like the candidate that got zero delegates during the primaries. They don't want to vote for republican lite when the real thing is literally right there. Maybe if they pushed for something for once but it's pointless the even gesture towards that because they have no actual interest in making things better or even winning.



  • I mean, 外人差別 literally means foreigner discrimination, it's literally western racism. Like what's the difference between a Englishman hating the Polish and a Japanese man hating the Koreans? What about the Islamophobia wanting to send them all back, or the southern US border wall. It's all the same shit you just dressed it up with a bit of meaningless nuance that really isn't nuance. It just takes a different form.

    One of my first experiences in Japan living with a host family was my host mother whispering to my white ass about how the tourists ahead of us were Chinese and that they were 'dirty.' I didn't get it back then as a 17 year old, but looking back I can absolutely see their biases against me as well, they just didn't openly flaunt them like they did against the Chinese. It's all racism just in different forms.







  • It's been 120 days since I started giving a shit and the last month I've really started struggling more but I've been going with it at a slower pace, gone are the weeks of 3 pound losses and now it's more like 1 pound. I did hit a new low today crossing another pound marker now at 33 pounds lost. I wanted to start doing walks in the evenings with my mother as a way to just add some exercise in but getting motivated is difficult after a full day of work. I've started only using the elevators for my way into work which isn't a ton but it's something.





  • There was once a man who chopped logs for his village. Day in and out he would carry the firewood on his back, but as time went on he grew weaker and more frail. One day he grew tired and threw down the wood and called out for death to come to him. When death arrived he asked what the old man wanted and after pondering for a while he asked death to help him put the logs on his back. When faced with death he had realized he wasn’t ready to die.









  • I remember reading a while back that after the travesty of the localization of Pom Poko Miyazaki refused to let them change the script because how much they disrespected the film.

    Especially with some aspects of the film they added things to try to make it a bit easier to understand for western audiences, like when she first sees the bathhouse, in Japan nobody would need it spelled out, but in the west it does so in the dub she says "it's a bathhouse." It's likely dumbed down more since in the US animation=children.
