Lots of old people in Japan. When I went I found an entire floor of a department store dedicated to brand new fax machines.

Instagram reels and TikTok are filled to the brim with medical misinformation.

Ill never forget going to Mt Etna in Sicily and seeing a Benito Mussolini sculpture in the gift shop. I thought it was a joke at first, but no, they really did support Benito Mussolini. Ignorant bastards.

That actually sounds like they're not getting it at all.

I played wow during almost all of my online courses

Losing all of my memories, and therefore proof that I've lived, to hereditary dementia.

When I'm on my deathbed, I'm absolutely sure I won't be thinking about work.

History classes in the US are patriot washed to convince soon to be laborers that they're living in the greatest country to ever possibly exist.

The more I study history, the more I see the great wheel of humanity. Communists now, Jews in the 40s, Muslims in the early middles ages, the barbaric Gauls before Christ was even born. It never stops. The people with wisdom die off leaving remnants of their culture and ideas while the next generations tries to piece it all together.

Good people aren't willing to lie in order to abuse populist fears. Fear is such a powerful political motivator. That's why we have shitstains like Trump in office. Short sighted people will give up everything to feel "safe". The reality of our situtation doesn't seem to matter as much as how people feel inwardly.

America has taken it's post WW2 golden age economic boom and squandered it for unbelievably greedy short termed gains for a miniscule class of people.

My friend likes to say China is playing civ while America is shooting itself in the foot.
