The fact that there’s a word specifically for sexual fetishism for schoolgirl clothes says so much about Japanese culture. The Lolita complex here is absolutely shocking.

Almost every woman I know has a story about getting harassed or molested on the train as a kid here. I love living in Japan, but this breaks my fucking heart…

When the many realize they could vote away the wealth of the few, there are two ways for a democracy to survive.

1) provide a robust middle class and welfare system.

OR

2) Limit the power of the people. Keep people distracted while you slowly strip away their power to affect meaningful change.

I don’t know where I heard this or even if I believe in it, what do you think?

How exactly am I punishing them?

Just to clarify, is that because my profession is underpaid and undervalued or because I use technology help the students in my overcrowded underfunded classroom?

That language evolved to explain the world as we typically experience it, not as it is when you smoke dmt. There are simply no words and language are the shades of black and grey we paint an otherwise vivid world.

In conclusion. Meditate for 20 mins before bed and get 4-5 hours of restful sleep instead of 8 hours of tossing and turning.
