i don't think you get it. how stifling it is for your each of the truest expressions of your heart to be reduced down to a game of make believe that everyone around you is merely humoring. how you've forgotten it i do not know. were you never a child, once upon a time?

I show her coast to coast AM broadcasts where we're both just going, "what the fuck are you saying right now lmao" and "Maltese Joe Biden" over and over at the weirdos and she shows me Steve1989MREInfo videos where we're both just going, "you are going to get sick, Stephen."

[rui-cifer]

Steve1989MREInfo tries his best to be xenophobic and hyper-critical towards the chinese mre but is swayed by the food being too good

When you're bored at work, there's really only one thing you can do: watch a guy eat and review a military ration from 1939

Not now big dog I'm watching Steve1989MREinfo get botulism

chainsaw man if denji was tom and refined

people seemed confused at gqux "not following through" on what was interpreted as a plotline that would talk about the treatment of immigrants in japan, which I think is giving an overly generous reading to it when you step back and realise it views immigration as a symptom of abandoning tradition

[rui-cifer]

Steve1989MREInfo is kind of chudded out sometimes in how he treats East Asian rations vs Western rations but I admire his willingness to eat food that you would assume to be spoiled out of love of the game

Of course no heuristic is universally true, but I think if you're an american who considers themselves "progressive" this is a rule of thumb you should probably be considering more often: If the conversation you're currently participating in is only able to happen because someone is going out of their way to speak *your* language, that's probably not the person who's most in need of informing themselves about the other's country in this conversation.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

It's just such a common pattern, how when you disagree with an american about something like e.g. the idea that it's unfair to hate members of the US military, the american will always walk into the conversation with the unshakable assumption that the only reason why you could possibly disagree with them is because *you* are not informed enough about *their* country, that you obviously are not aware of how bad veterans have it once they return home, or of the conditions of poverty and systemic inequality that might drive someone to see the military as their only chance for upward mobility, or of how aggressively military recruiters campaign, or how much propaganda they make, or how they take advantage of systemic inequality to recruit from disadvantaged populations, or a million other things which they will inherently assume you lack an understanding of and proceed to condescendingly explain to you.

All the while they refuse to entertain even for one second the possibility that it might be *them* who has something to learn about *your* country, that they might not be informed enough about the violence and terror the US military enacted upon your people, that *they* might lack some awareness or understanding of the cruelty and suffering that those poor, propagandized, systemically disenfranchised kids lied to by recruiters gladly participated in enacting which might drive even people who are fully aware of their conditions to still harbor resentment towards them. The possibility that the other person might have a better understanding of the conditions in their country than viceversa and still disagree with them will never even cross their mind.

Do not think otherwise. I am your eternal rival, I hate you to the bitter end, even if I instinctively clung to your arm during the scary drop on the roller coaster,
