Nearly half of the world's population live in areas where there are functionally only two seasons, a million of these people live as visible ethnic minorities in Japan, are these inferences too hard to make as an esl teacher?
I’m an English teacher but half my job is teaching Japanese people cultural things about other countries. Like yes we also have four seasons why do we have the names for them if not?

The vallisneria canopy has become so profuse that I'm wary it might impede light from reaching the lower plants, disinclined to trim it though because of its kino interplay with light

I remember watching one Ethan Klein video when I was in year 9 because a classmate kept talking about him and feeling annoyed at being subject to every millennial verbal tic at once and him belabouring very simple points endlessly

How are people so fascinated by the fact that this creature cheated on his wife, more impressive people cheat on their wives all the time

They say that lying down is bad for acid reflux but it's also the easiest way to make you forget you're so afflicted (if you stay still), is being painlessly catatonic for two days worse than being upright with a screwdriver in your chest for a few hours

The Rose of Versailles is good but I'm unable to watch it without constantly thinking of how Oscar, otherwise a basically compelling character in their own right, is to Griffith as the Euclidean definition of a circle is to Euler's identity

There is no duty of proportionality against the side which initiates violence
Killing/Permanently scarring people is indeed worse than stealing.

If this were made by a methodologically rigorous autist instead of some lazy hack trying to jack off it would be several sprawling intercontinental and transoceanic networks, with cities rather than blanket regions as nodes, like veins on a beautiful woman's extremities
It’s wild how the world basically runs on nothing but this.

I increasingly despise ultranationalists of every group, the ones I see frequently on the fyp (broadly Western, Indian, Chinese, Sunnite, in the latter cases both of endogenous and diaspora varieties) all whiningly larp anthropocidal cruelty to the rest of the world, so tedious
One of the most puzzling ethnic rivalries that I keep seeing. What did the Chinese even do to the Turkish? Most I can think of is that they we wuz as the however many steppe nomads tribes fought by the Chinese, but that's an extremely superficial grudge to carry for this long.

99% of shortform yt/ig hobbyist content (for me tennis and aquarium reels) would be significantly improved if they didn't use torturously saccharine film soundtracks as background music, why do they do this, why not play lofi beats or better yet nothing

The malfoid spam of the past few days has taught me that Chinese slop is overrendered ff cutscene maximalism where every female model converges on a hyperneotenous xhs phenotype while American slop is Netflix Original anime tsundereshit with 2010s youtube fashwave characteristics
If the ending is already written, does it remain the same in every universe?**PartTwo** #Malfoy

Both are awful and I am now slightly more amenable to the idea of a transpacific nuclear war

Is not kissing supposed to be a sign of a bad first date? Am I just not human
went on a first date so bad we didn’t even consider kissing. just two civil war generals signing a treaty in a barn

He was on a TV show about a fantasy setting in which criminals and drug dealers are complex psychological cases caught between the Dark and the Light and speak in TikTok Aura Edit language. He had none of the TikTok Aura Edit lines, and now he is dead.

The people pontificating about how much more they value the lives of people than tigers are annoying, but those doing the inverse should make at least a perfunctory effort to articulate their vision of a non-anthroponormative legal system or theory of law or post their blood test

– results which should show the idiosyncratic deficiency profile of vegans; if you can do neither shut the fuck up and shoot yourself in the head so that you can nourish a colony of maggots (10,000 instantiations of local qualia vs just your 1)

There are sexually successful unemployed people but they always have characteristics that would make them sexually successful regardless, ceteris paribus an unemployed accountant is not any better than an employed one, this is stupid
I’m not joking when I say that losing your job, eating into your savings, and becoming what in any other point in history would be considered a total loser is one of the best things you can do in terms of making yourself more attractive as a young (or young-ish) man these days.
