I like to watch videos of extreme mountaineering but I’ve never doubted that extreme mountaineering is completely unnecessary thing to do. I’ve also never doubted that only those completely unnecessary things can contribute to make humans to be humans. does this make sense

I thought that everyone who calls themselves a Christian had read the Bible, like, whole Bible. including the old one. recently, I've begun to think maybe that's not the case

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way. The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

I feel like elections are becoming more and more like sports

I thought it’s nice to speak or understand multiple languages

I always wonder why it is called “football” because every time I watch its clips the player is throwing a ball with his hand, running with a ball in his hands or catching a ball with his hands

peeled mini tomatoes pickled in plum liquor syrup. tedious as hell but worth it

every election is like, ‘maybe this time people are gonna say enough is enough’ type of faintest hope becomes ‘okay then we don’t deserve to be saved’ type of depression. not good for my mental health at all

The Grizzlies could have been us

I honestly never understand what thought process would lead someone to believe that they have a right to decide who to be die. do they think they are monotheistic god or something

I know I am me, but do I really understand who I am? I want to know me because I know I am me. I want to know what kind of program runs me

and I really really enjoy these “freezing brain” moment. it is helping me tremendously to understand how my brain or thinking process works

maybe it’s only me but when I listen to things the person/ people talk, my brain does something similar to the predictive text on a smartphone. first, I kinda feel their cadence, and then I select few key words which seemed important, and finally I grab the whole sentence

I like to listen to non-Japanese languages spoken by complete strangers I pass by on the way to local grocery store. some of them I can guess which language they are, some I can’t. I am always surprised by the similarities of their cadences between the Japanese and the Chinese or Korean

LOOK AT OUS. LOOK

LOOK AT OUS

recently I gradually started to remember how I watched the games in the tank era

60% of the players who are shown in introductory video are out

at local hair salon, a lady sitting next to me chatting with hairdresser about how she’s uncomfortable because there’s Kurdish community in her neighborhood and the hairdresser enthusiastically agreed to that. she didn’t make it clear what makes her uncomfortable specifically

The data is crystal clear: Foreigners in Japan don't commit violent crimes at a higher rate than native-born Japanese citizens. Right-wingers have pushed this lie online to whip up hate against immigrants and distract people from Japan's real problems. unseen-japan.com/japan-foreig...

11 Japanese human rights groups held a joint emergency press conference to demand that politicians and voters stop amplifying hate speech against foreigners in Japan, such as unfounded accusations that foreign residents commit more crimes than Japanese citizens.

at what point does belonging to a community(which is kinda real) become subservience to the “Nation” (which is merely a concept. the borders are arbitrary too)? And why does that subservience never extend to the whole of humanity?

I sometimes think that hell may have been invented as a way to save those who are not saved, as a hope that those who are not punished in this world will one day be punished

I like the fact that Homo Sapiens have DNA fragments from the Neanderthals

nationalists are the people who never ask a question “who am I for real?” to themselves

being cynical or listening to the podcast about medieval england

I feel like I can allow myself to be cynical because being cynical is always a desperate attempt to be sane

any law should not be on top of basic human rights and I’ve thought this is obvious to everyone. but apparently it isn’t, which makes my stomach sick

bravery is sometimes overrated, isn’t it

at the end of the day I won’t be able to, but I believe I have to keep trying

I always thought that I wanted to be with people in weaker position but I’m a Japanese who lives in Japan in my whole life, there’s least amount of chance to be racially harassed. so I can’t truly imagine what a life with worrying that kind of possibility can be

he’s perfecting his craft

he’s super offended by the bell

tiny daffodils are in full bloom in January. I liked them before because I considered them as spring-bringer, at least, in my hometown. they should be

チェットの尖った顎がウェンバンヤマさんに刺さった

the fact that the Predators are upright bipedal walking just like homo sapiens really bothering me while watching the movie. how much the possibility of random extraterrestrial life form would be walking exactly like humans? I think it’s highly unlikely

my son really liked Predator when he was little, and he told me the trivia that “In Predator 2, there weren't actors tall enough for the Predators, so the LA Lakers players were borrowed and the film crew put them in the costume”

and my hometown once had a doctor, philosopher and anarchist Shoeki Ando (安藤昌益) in Edo period. being an anarchist in the Edo period is extremely radical in my opinion

by the way, my hometown has a public bookstore now. yes, it’s a bookstore run by the city office and no, it’s not conservative propaganda type of place. it’s occasionally hosting events featuring local authors and artists in its event space

I was born in rural Japan like its population was about 240,000, and somehow I have had some sort of inferiority complex to people who was born in metropolis like Tokyo

I hate the bad Nazis in the hollywood movie speaking weird German-like English. it makes no sense. they didn’t speak english. let them speak German and just put subtitles on

(39/82) #nanaethundergamelog a win with some very primitive weapons

Thunder winning another game bricking every shot? We're so back.

I didn’t.

maybe I better listen to podcasts about medieval England while I’m watching the game

I’m thinking about “the depth”, which we don’t have apparently
