This one's called "find a use for the word Oblivion" I may add to it sometime: The words at times seem bottomless They come to me, a wanton kiss I come to them, in finite bliss Or get too tired, and own the miss How is it that I thought of this? If God sees I will plead the fifth. YOU'RE GETTING TIRED, JUST OWN THE MISS I cannot in good con sci ence Trust this into your governance I know your name, Sir Common Sense! So play the game, or get thee hence! (He's humbled by my par-lee-ance) I'm humble too, I drop my pants! I run a loop, then start to dance. I ought to shoo to bed, ey, Sense? I put on pants, I break the chain My thoughts are rats, mischief and pain Hot gigawatts burn in my brain Can't stop the thoughts, that damned refrain: The thoughts at times seem bottomless They come to me, a wanton kiss I come to them, in finite bliss In bed I turn and twist and spin And there behold the hole within It opens wide, a wholeass grin The sick part is it's my own sin That one was rough, don'tread again The sins at times seem bottomless They come to me, a wanton kiss I come to them, in finite……….. In all the roads I've walked I've seen One path that some quite dull have deemed– That's never fun–in their esteem– That's probbly true: it's lacking memes, Not even apps, not even screens (A hellscape to your average teen), Its angle sure, its borders lean, An arrow in the night that gleams Alone it leads me to sweet dreams The dream at times is limitless His open arms, his bleeding wrists A wound that drains on tranquil ribs Well WHAT WAS THAT? And WHAT IS THIS? Why must it always come to this? Yet this one time… the darkness rifts A chance, a hope: he dies, he lifts Us up I do not understand this gift, A paragon for a misfit! He calls to me, I don't resist: Gratitude and forgiven-ness. And finally, here lives true bliss.

Tell the truth. Whatever cunning alternative heuristic you have is worse.

I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter. I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

We will respond with a nuclear attack.

Signs that you are NOT a FASCIST: You support smaller government, not bigger government. You support free speech, not censored or compelled speech. You support the separation of economy and state. You support private property, not public ownership.

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public still has NO IDEA Artemis II is, right this minute, taking humans to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE MUST GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

アメリカ人兄貴たちからのリプライが最高過ぎる！ 普通はツイートがある程度拡散されるとゴミみたいなリプライが増えてきて不快になるんだけど、今の所そういうのが一切なくてめっちゃ優しい！ 人生でこんなに優しい言葉をかけて貰えたのは初めてかもしれない。 USA! USA! USA!

China lifted 800 million people out of poverty not through communism but by creating Special Economic Zones where capitalism was allowed to function. Shenzhen went from a fishing village to a megacity because the government said "in this specific area, you can build freely.” That should tell you something about what works and what doesn't. Even the world's largest communist country had to let capitalism in through the back door to feed its people.

Think about this: When he was just 4 years old, Oda-sensei decided he didn't want a regular job and just wanted to be a mangaka. He then went on to write a story about a boy who decided he didn't want a regular job and just wanted to be the Pirate King. Now, Oda-sensei is the best-selling comic writer in world history, and Luffy of course will soon be Pirate King. In a way, One Piece is Oda's own personal One Piece that he used to acquire his dream. Also, because of its powerful message of freedom, citizens of countries around the world use the Straw Hat jolly roger as a symbol of their dream of freedom. So again--in a way, the story One Piece is the One Piece of the real world. In other words, tldr-- THE ONE PIECE IS REAL

how oda managed to create one piece.. like it feels surreal when you think about it

白人の皆さんが、このポストに感動してることに正直驚いています… 欧米でここまで白人が悪者扱いされていることを、私は知らなかった。 多くの日本人が知らないと思う。 白人は「自分が悪者」と左翼に洗脳されています。 その洗脳は白人を弱体化するためだ。 そんな左翼とは早く離れて！

Ignorance is the barrier that keeps humans from understanding each other. The less we know about each other, the more willing we are to fill in the gaps with stereotypes and misunderstandings. The ability to engage in conversation with people who are different from ourselves is how we often discover that we have more in common than we initially thought. Since 2020, Americans have been hammered with messages that emphasize noticing people’s differences in order to create division between us. The idea is that our differences are meant to keep us separated and to overshadow our common humanity. I’ve established relationships with people from various backgrounds who often look different from me, and yet I genuinely enjoyed their company and drew closer to them despite the differences. The changes made on X that brought the top two most active countries together—Japan and the United States—have begun the removal of massive cultural and political ignorance that has quickly moved us from a status of strangers to brothers. At first, it was confusing as to why we were starting to see Japanese people with auto-translation, but that confusion quickly turned into a bromance open to sharing ideas and clearing up misconceptions. A common response from Japanese users was that they thought Americans looked down on them, and they are extremely excited to see that it was actually the opposite. Despite what communists in our media attempt to say about our nation, we are the most open and tolerant society in the world. Many of us live in areas where we have people from different countries who love living in America and are willing to share their homeland customs with us. Where I live is like the United Nations. I have Black, White, Indian, Korean, and Chinese neighbors; this isn’t uncommon for many Americans. What these Japanese users are doing is going beyond the barriers of corporate media and accessing the people directly to ask them even the most mundane questions they would likely never learn otherwise. The same goes for Americans like myself; I’ve started asking them questions that I legitimately didn’t have a good perspective on regarding Japanese culture. For example, I asked—very genuinely—for their reasoning for always wearing masks. I know that culturally it is common for them to wear masks when they are sick, but some of the answers went beyond this and were incredibly honest. I had no idea that hay fever and seasonal allergies were a massive issue there. Many were honest about how the mask allowed them to not shave or put on makeup. The most interesting answer was about the cultural differences between the Japanese and the West when it comes to reading facial expressions. The Japanese place more importance on seeing the eyes than looking at someone’s mouth. Hence, putting a mask over the mouth is less of a big deal for them than it is for us. What’s been the most fascinating is that they are politically dealing with some of the same things we are in the West—mostly a rise in communist agitators and a push for mass migration by the Japanese elite. With Japan having a low birthrate, the people in charge have started pushing for immigration as the method for filling the work gaps. However, whenever systematic immigration occurs, you run into the problem of assimilation and clashing with the natives. There is no perfect society, but the Japanese have a strong sense of pride in their history and customs—even if it appears rigid to foreigners. They can pinpoint exactly how long they’ve been embracing a particular custom, and bringing in massive numbers of people who potentially don’t care about those customs is a major cause for concern. It especially bothers them when foreigners come to their country and want to alter their long-standing customs so they can feel more comfortable. As they are a nation of customs, we are a nation of laws, and when they are disrespected, it becomes a point of anger for both of us. The removal of the language barrier via auto-translation and algorithmic promotion has opened an avenue of unity and understanding about preserving what is most important to us as a people. Today we are sharing BBQ tips and comparing narratives from reality, but don’t be surprised if in the future we are arm-in-arm fighting for the same cause in a much more substantive way that goes beyond the keyboard. --------------------------------- 無知こそが、人間がお互いを理解し合うことを阻む障壁です。お互いについて知れば知るほど、私たちはその知識の空白をステレオタイプや誤解で埋めようとする傾向が強まります。 自分とは異なる人々と言葉を交わす能力こそが、私たちが当初考えていた以上に、お互いの間に多くの共通点があることに気づくための、しばしば用いられる手段なのです。 2020年以来、アメリカ人は、私たちを分断するために人々の「違い」を強調するメッセージの猛攻にさらされてきました。そこにある思想は、私たちの違いは私たちを隔て、共通の人間性という側面を覆い隠すためにある、というものです。 私はこれまで、自分とは見た目が異なる多様な背景を持つ人々と関係を築いてきました。そして、そうした違いがあるにもかかわらず、彼らと共に過ごす時間を心から楽しみ、彼らとの距離を縮めてきたのです。 X（旧Twitter）上で行われた変更により、最もアクティブなユーザーを抱える二つの国――日本とアメリカ――が結びつきました。これにより、文化や政治に対する巨大な「無知の壁」を取り除くプロセスが始まり、私たちは瞬く間に「見知らぬ他人」から「兄弟」のような関係へと移行しつつあります。 当初は、自動翻訳機能を通じて日本人ユーザーの投稿を目にするようになった理由が分からず、戸惑いもありました。しかし、その戸惑いはすぐに、互いにアイデアを共有し、誤解を解きほぐし合うような、親愛に満ちた関係へと変わっていきました。 日本人ユーザーからよく聞かれた反応の一つに、「アメリカ人は自分たちを見下しているのではないか」と以前は思っていたが、実際には全く逆だったことを知り、非常に嬉しく思っている、というものがありました。 私たちの国のメディアに潜む共産主義者たちが、この国についてどのような主張をしようとも、実際のアメリカ社会は世界で最も開放的で寛容な社会なのです。 私たちの多くは、アメリカでの生活を愛し、自国の文化や慣習を私たちと喜んで分かち合おうとする、様々な国出身の人々と共に暮らしています。 私が住んでいる地域は、まるで「国連」のようです。黒人、白人、インド系、韓国系、中国系の人々が近隣に住んでいますが、これは多くのアメリカ人にとって決して珍しいことではありません。 こうした日本人ユーザーたちが今行っているのは、大手メディアという障壁を乗り越え、人々に直接アクセスし、メディアを通じて知ることはおそらく決してなかったであろう、ごく日常的な素朴な疑問でさえも、直接本人たちに尋ねてみることです。 私のようなアメリカ人にとっても、事情は同じです。私自身、日本の文化について、これまでは確かな視点や理解を持てていなかった事柄について、彼らに質問を投げかけるようになりました。 例えば、私は極めて純粋な疑問として、「なぜ常にマスクを着用しているのか」という理由を彼らに尋ねてみました。病気の時にマスクをするのが文化的な習慣であることは知っていましたが、返ってきた答えの中には、その習慣的な理由を超えた、驚くほど率直で誠実な回答も含まれていました。あちらの国で、花粉症や季節性アレルギーがこれほど深刻な問題になっているとは、全く想像もしていませんでした。多くの人が、マスクのおかげで髭を剃ったり化粧をしたりせずに済むようになったと、率直に語っていました。 中でも最も興味深かったのは、顔の表情を読み取るという点における、日本人と欧米人との文化的な違いに関する話でした。日本人は、相手の口元を見るよりも、目を見ることをより重視する傾向にあります。そのため、口元をマスクで覆うことは、私たち欧米人にとってよりも、彼らにとってはさほど大きな問題ではないのです。 さらに極めて興味深いのは、彼らが政治的な面において、私たち欧米社会が直面しているのと全く同じような問題に取り組んでいるという点です。具体的には、共産主義的な扇動者の台頭や、日本のエリート層による大規模な移民受け入れの推進といった動きが挙げられます。 日本は少子化が進んでいるため、国の指導層は労働力不足を補う手段として、移民の受け入れを推進し始めています。しかし、組織的な移民受け入れが行われるようになると、必ずと言っていいほど、社会への同化（ア assimilation）や、先住の住民との摩擦といった問題に直面することになります。 完璧な社会などどこにも存在しませんが、日本人は自国の歴史や慣習に対して、非常に強い誇りを持っています。たとえ、外国人から見ればそれが「堅苦しい」ものに映ったとしても、その誇りが揺らぐことはありません。 彼らは、ある特定の慣習をいつから、どれほどの長きにわたって守り続けてきたのかを、正確に特定することができます。それゆえに、そうした慣習を尊重しない可能性のある人々を、一度に大量に受け入れることに対して、彼らは重大な懸念を抱いているのです。 特に彼らが不快感を覚えるのは、外国人が彼らの国にやって来て、自分たちがより快適に過ごせるようにという理由で、長年受け継がれてきた慣習を変えようとしたり、変えることを要求したりする場合です。 彼らが「慣習の国」であるのに対し、私たちは「法の国」です。そして、それぞれの社会において最も大切にされているものが軽んじられたり、侵害されたりしたとき、それは私たち双方にとって、激しい怒りの感情を呼び起こす要因となるのです。 自動翻訳機能やアルゴリズムによる情報拡散の仕組みによって言語の壁が取り払われた今、私たち双方の国民にとって最も大切なものを守り抜くために、互いに団結し、理解を深め合うための新たな道が開かれつつあります。 今日、私たちはBBQ（バーベキュー）のコツを教え合ったり、それぞれの現実社会で起きている出来事について語り合ったりしていますが、驚くことなかれ、近い将来には、単なるキーボード上でのやり取りにとどまらない、より実質的で強固な形で、私たちが手を取り合い、同じ大義のために共に闘っているかもしれません。

@isaiah_bb He's portrayed as a good guy in a Hollywood movie. Liberal goes without saying.

Do you guys think Jar Jar Binks was a liberal or a conservative when he was a galactic senator

Why are can openers such overwhelming pieces of shit nowadays? When I was 9-25ish years old i used to regularly make myself tuna sandwiches using a manual can opener with zero issues. Now it's like I died and went to hell for people who ate too much tuna. I've been through half a dozen manual can openers and 1 electric one. They're all absolute shit. It's a half hour ordeal to open 2 cans of tuna. I'm moments away from slicing a finger open. What is happening.

@watatsuri You were wrong. We love you.

わたしずっと日本人は英語が喋れないから嫌われていると思ってたよ、違ったのかな、みんな優しい、ありがとう

@gatorgar Fun fact: "onigiri" is this delightful riceball. But "Oni giri" means DEMON SLASH.

In the 90s, I saw cartoon characters eating these on TV, and because the internet was still so new, I had trouble finding out what they were. Now I know it’s called onigiri, and it’s a rice ball with nori on the outside and a filling, usually salmon or tuna and mayo. Thanks Japan

How absurdly limited these people have made themselves. They like vice, and want no limits on it, but hate disagreement and difference of thought. They are ultimately absurd persons because (a) they believe all the answers to all the difficult questions are simple and easy and obvious, and (b) they reach these judgments about what is true on a non-factual, moral basis, and even their moral reasoning is moralistic sentiment and emotion.

I love this guy. Couldn't have asked for a better spokesperson for this moment.

12th-grade liberals (both boys and girls) are significantly more likely to agree that they "don't have much to be proud of" and "can't do anything right" than 12th-grade conservatives.

This is cool. Makes a lot of sense!
