My thirst for knowledge cannot be quenched

If you can understand Japanese, or are in the process of learning how to do so, and you are also interested in anthropology/linguistics/archaeogenetics/prehistory, then I can highly recommend this channel. Videos have both good sources and good explanations for various topics.

I haven't heard anyone else talk about this, but a major reason for why globalization makes countries homogenous is that the local inhabitants in those countries WANT it to be that way. Only people who have the resources/ability to travel complain about this.

An Indonesian who will probably never be able to leave his own country will not complain about McDonalds and every other Western brand being in Jakarta, but a Western cosmopolitan will.

Honestly getting hung up on the fucked up pyschosocial dynamics of schooling is a bit of a red herring because even without that the mass compulsory school system would still be a giant waste of precious time.

One of the truly admirable things about the soviet union is that instead of lionizing the culture of the proles, they tried to elevate the commoners through mass consumption of high culture. A return to that among the western left would be most welcome.

Annoying boomer take: China is evil and wants to destroy us. We need to nuke it o algo Annoying zoomer take: China is based because it has a lot of LEDs. It’ll end American hegemony True countercultural opinion: China is in Asia. It is a large country populated by many Chinese

Unfortunately, even for many pro-Ukraine people, this whole war is just a social media spectacle. For us standing in the frontline against Russia, all kind of sensationalism or sowing panic is harmful, because that's what the Russian information warfare is about.
I'm very surprised that there's quite a big portion of Ukraine supporters who actually want to see the Baltics invaded just so they could go "I TOLD YOU SO" on Twitter. It's kinda sad.

His account is just posting Danish Ws and acting like it’s a bad thing
Nordic politics summarised 🇩🇰Denmark - “I hate immigrants and want to pay no taxes” - “I hate immigrants too! But I want the rich to pay a bit more tax” 🇳🇴Norway - “I don’t want to be disrespectful. But I want to pay less taxes. But please I mean this respectfully!” - “No worries, I want the rich to pay a bit more in tax. And I respect your opinion” 🇸🇪Sweden - “THE MUSLIMS ARE RIGGING THE ELECTIONS! SWEDEN HAS BECOME A SOCIALIST CALIPHATE!” - “See the choice is between fascists taking over or us infighting with each other and failing to govern properly” 🇫🇮Finland - … - … (I have no idea what they’re doing out there)

Ukraine doing what the Israeli opposition can only dream of #AntiHasidicAktion
A 49-year-old Hasidic man was mobilized in Ukraine while returning from Uman to Israel Yonatan Karlinski-Mashek had traveled to Uman for Rosh Hashanah and presented an Israeli passport at the border on his way back. However, during the checks, authorities discovered that he had also retained Ukrainian citizenship. He was then taken off the bus and sent to the Odesa region to undergo the mobilization procedure. The Jerusalem Post reported the case, while the Israeli Embassy confirmed that he had been detained. According to media reports, Karlinski-Mashek is currently in the Odesa region and is awaiting assignment as a doctor to a unit in the Kharkiv area. His family tried to secure his release, but without success. He was given a prayer book and provided with kosher food.

Japanese girl I had just met suggested that I should DM her so that I can meet her friends/acquaintances in Kanazawa when I'm traveling there alone next month. I was not expecting to be able to socialize so easily just because I can speak conversational Japanese.

At 10, I idolized my father. The first crack came when he got so drunk at a bar that I had to carry him home. But the drinking wasn’t what disturbed me. When I arrived, he was flirting with a fat woman. As everyone stared at us, I kept thinking: Is my dad into fat chicks?

I love the axis powers dynamic because Germany and Japan together sounds like a genuinely terrifying combination of two absolute powerhouse countries and then Italy is there too I guess
