Hey!!! you NEETS, nerds, Akiba maid-cafe frequenters, Youtube-link spammers, pedophiles, neo-Nazis, Yukorin enthusiasts, Nanako SOS admirer, Diplomats' spoiled sons, Losers who can't remember Kanji characters, Big-boobs fans, and Weeaboos from all over the world, And I pray for the resurrection of the Internet-addicted housewive.
>>1 GJ Cut out "Akiba maid-cafe frequenters" for the next one, and I don't like the pronoun part of "I pray for..." Rephrase that or leave it as it was.
>>11 My english may be odd. Fisrt, the internet-addicted wife was alread gone, so I tried to delete her. But I liked her and I hesitated to delete. So I changed my mined and called for her reappearance instead.
>>11 See, this is why I suggested discussing it in the old thread. When it's time for part 108, nobody is going to remember what was said in the beginning of this thread either, it's just going to be copy-and-paste.
>>13 I'm a traintard, not a bustard. Get your facts straight!
>>16 Don't delete it, as that's been discussed, but just don't use the first personal pronoun "I" so it won't sound like your personal wish. You can paraphrase it without using any pronoun.
>>32 Programmed voice means the sound comes from a software called HATSUNE-MIKU It sounds much closer to a real human voice comparing to what YMO was using, called Vocoder.
Anyway, at least Noriaki's music is more real than any other Japanese hip hop artist. I love his promotion Video. Crazy lyrics and crazy beat, That's all about Noriaki. He challenged the notion of Hip Hop. He is the man.
>>26 I'm not quite sure if it's a good idea to add something like that to >>1. But it might not be a bad idea either if someone could come up with an appropriate expression.
>>46 Is this real origin? I heard yellow magic orchestra. I don't like 80s pretentious trend personally...which leaads to disgusting sibuyawise? music.
I guesss the police and ymo somewhat have in common. organized and planed well in advance. All looked intentional. YMO and Police were adults and well educated at debuet. Police didn't sell academic image though.
>>36 Hey dont mix them up! Vocoder is one of voice effects using synthesizers for sound harmonizatoin. Formant singing technology is quite different. In that case, a synthesizer has the voice charactors inside and sing by itself.
Hmm... called the police about an hour and a half ago because some filthy chavs were smashing up a wooden fence across the road, then picking up the fenceposts and running after some other chavs at the end of the road (knocking a few cars on the way). Hopefully they all managed to kill each other and won't cause trouble anymore.
>>71 I would have, but was in the middle of eating. I'd have had to clean up the blood and bile, by which time my food would have been cold.
>>72 I'm sure she was safe. Probably hiding behind two or three boyfriends.
>>73 After returning to Germany, he went on to study French Literature in the city of Basel in Switzerland (where he is now). His memory returned on arrival back at his parents' place. His father was pretty angry at a British tabloid (the Mirror) for publishing allegations that he could not play the piano and was gay.
Speaking of Gay, I read that a 14-year-old gay boy was shot to death in America and some gay association made a statement that gay people should be treated fairly or something like that.
Do you think gay is discriminated against in your society? Ah, probably no. In the UK, same sex marriage is legal. Possibly you are interested in it?
>>77 Makes no difference to me, gay people can do as they like (as long as it's ethical, anyway). The way they live their lives doesn't affect me. However, I think that though there is quite a lot of tolerance for them, there still is a lot of discrimination, of which the working class and tabloid-readers seem to be the loudest.
A few years back, there was strong opposition to raise a gay clergyman to the title of Bishop, but even Christian sects here are becoming more tolerant.
I don't want you to take this personally, but I have no idea why some males like males (females, female likewise). Yeah, I know they surely exist and I sometimes see TV shows where gay males appear, but I still can't understand...
Do gay people in Britain speak like females, by the way? Japanese gay guys (on TV) speak TOO softly.
>>79 I have one friend who is gay. We had no idea he was until telling us a few years ago, though. He was terrified that he'd lose his friends after 'coming out' (revealing he was gay), but nobody really cared.
Some gay guys are totally indistinguishable from heterosexual guys in the way they act and speak, but some guys act overly effeminate: they speak quite high pitched and 'mince' when they walk (arms out, limp wrists, and so on). It's people like that who often annoy other people by flaunting their sexuality. We wouldn't care if they didn't make such a big deal about it; it's not like we flaunt that we prefer girls.
Personally, I don't care if someone is gay or not and believe they have every right to do whatever they want to, but I have to admit that I have some gut feelings towards stereotypical flaming gays at the same time. This has nothing to do with their homosexuality, I think. Perhaps, that might be similar to ones towards ugly girls, in my case.
You are joking, right? Nobody flaunts their sexuality. That's who they are and what they are. Why would anyone have to hide their true self and act "normal"? That's just stupid.
>>84 I mean other than being effeminate, they're the ones who are most likely to obnoxiously tell people that they are gay, and to "deal with it". They often just assume that anyone who isn't gay is automatically anti-gay. To put it in perspective, it would be like Sea Shepherd blockading and throwing stones at merchant ships (as well as whaling ships) just because they're not activists.
That is true. And some gay guys believe that they are better than straight ones just because they are gay, and have some serious attitude problems. I kind of understand where they are coming from, though; probably they have nothing else to be proud of. It's like a reversed version of homophobia.
Stating that gays are bad based on some past experiences is like saying Arabs are terrorists or Japanese enjoy killing whales after watching some news stories. Simplistic generalization is stupid, especially when it's based on your own possibly biased view.
You totally missed the point. I don't care if you are gay or not, but some gay guys do have problems with straight people, which is what I observed and was talking about. And I've had a good amount of gay acquaintances. So please do not fuck with me like this.
Gay bashing based on nothing other than your own opinion is not ok. Gay bashing based on the Bible is ok, because the Bible is always right. I know lots of good humble downtoearth gays. They're great to be with. But a sin is a sin. You shouldn't tolerate that.
マーチト読み易く書き直せばto be以下 though not so far as to be unable to move rapidly when occasion required though not so far as to be unmovable with occasion-required (enough) rapidity 等となるが此等では売文稼業従事者として面白くないからチート捻つたのであらう。
>>91 Yeah. But each of us has only limited informations and experiences. If you deny the generalization, we can not even use our languages or look comic drawings. Coz Language itself (also comic drawing) is made from the generalization. And sometimes it makes discriminations too.
Then I think all we can do is not stopping generalization but being sensitive to the differences.
We know that gays and others are different. Then we should know that all nasty people and gays are also different. How about this? Do I make a sense?
>>92 I understood you know so many nasty gay persons in your life.
I heard primitive Christianity was supported by so many prostitutes under the rule of the Roman Empire.
At that age, homosexuals or sort of incestuousness must be decadent and aristocratic. Those background are supposed to be the reason why Bible blamed the homosexuals.
These days, I feel Christians especially Catholic people are changing. But I guess it's getting more severe issues among Protestants and other new schools. How do you think?
Me Japanese dont care homo. All shoguns are homo. Samurai supporsed to be bisexual.
as far as I know the bible doesn't say homo is bad. Old testimony says 'abnormal sexual conduct' is bad. What is 'abnormal'?? that's up in the air.
That's said, we will never understand this gay thing in christian countries. Not like I want to be a gay, but I don't know why they have to bash it or fight for it. I dont even care my mommy's sex life. Why whould you care about complete stranger's???
Technically, homosexuality does not contribute to societal prosperity through their statistically abnormal reproductive activities. This has a lot to do with how religions and moral systems have been formed to exclude it from societal norms in history, I think. Not only Christianity but Confucianism and other teachings also define homosexual activities as something dirty and prohibit them.
>>115 I don't think such many posts have done during my compositions... I wrote it for >>105.
And correction. X Your mommy can neither be homosexual nor shogun or any of samurai fighters. O Your mommy can be neither homosexual, shogun nor any of samurai fighters.
>>114 Sorry if I offended you. But I assume, if people come here to hang around, they are hoping to get a hang on what these shy Japanese people are really thinking. And you've gotta admit while Japanese REALLY care about moral, we just have no clue about what a religion is.
I didn't started all this gay and religion thing in the first place. Juuust tried to help.
You find a bag with $15,000 in it in the middle of the road. Do you A) Keep it, spend it, love it? B) Donate it to charity? C) Return it to the woman who lost it after leaving it on top of her car and driving off?
I haven't Yukorin on TV for a while now. Whatever happended to her? Is her popularity still high like it used to? How do you know she talks differently now?
Yukolin was at least cute. But Iwas flabargasted by pre-surgery face of ann megumi. She had her nose shapened. Ann now is considered to be one of 癒し系, men healing actresses. I won't be healed by her anymore!
wow this thread runs too fast! I was here yesterday morning and I came here again and found it's already #155 of the new thread No 107? I can hardly catch up with you guys.
sorry to interupt, but I just want to comment for this post.
>924 :名無しさん@英語勉強中:2008/03/08(土) 01:47:30 he is like someone who knows the outcome already and doesn't like to experience the process to reach there. I am still a kid but I feel he is also a kid mentally. ironically that's the reason why he attracts boys and girls. ------------------------- hahaha. You've got it! he is also mentally ill, pretty narcissitic person in brain and outer lookings. In reality, just a geek looking ossan! And genius usually don't exist in low genre like sociology... Miyada is just a halfway between arts and sciences. Comparing him to mazart is ridiculous. He won't admit he couldn't enter science department in tokyo university. But it must be true.
Miyadai has a wide range of information. But he lacks sense and intuition. That's all. He wiil reamin just a trend watcher and see me man.
Yeah, But he may have changed after his marriage. He somewhat admits his mistake. He is grown up.
He supported highschool girl prostitutution but resented it at the bottom of heart Ironically. And he praised school girl hookers at the time as with the wisdom to live through endless reality. They turned out to be just a low IQ dokyun. pathetic
First of all I am so glad that Mr 924 replied to me and he seems to know a lot about Miyadai. Although I appreciate what he said,. I am against his opinion in some sense.
>genius usually don't exist in low genre like sociology
what do you mean by that? I think you are only talking about the grade in school. Yes, it surely seems like smart people go to 理科系 while dumb people go to so-called half way between arts and science like sociology. if you are concerned only what grades you get in school. Many genius in history are seen as dumb student and used to get all F in school but showed the revolutionary performance on his own ground.
Most of the remarkable filmmakers were not good at math. Anyway, I think Mr Miyadai is a good student from 1st grade in primary school until now, but probably not as good as those who graudated from Todai Medical section. There are many genius people in this world and we are all amazed by their new ideas. At least, I was inspired by Miydadai's freewheeling thinking. But I also agree that he is just like a little child who is crying over his misfortune. The fundamental reason of his studies of schiology is generated from his inferiority complex.
I used to read a lot of his books. the reason is that I was also a bullied child from the primary school until now.
So Mr 924, what was the reason to be interested in Miyadai's world? In my case, since I was so frustrated in Japanese school's system, I thought his ideas are revolutionary. and I started to be liking his ideas a lot.

I'm not 924 myself, And I do never say sociology is low genre. Where did 924 quote this from?
Sociology is new genre in study for sure, but it doesn't mean they are all wastes.
In fact, Tokyo Univ. did't have special departments for sociology before. And so many young scholar must have studied in law Dep. 文一 students are not all dumb.
The commentator of 924 seems to know nothing and is just speaking ill of Miyadai.
And about inferior complex. At only this point, I agree with you.
Sociology is study of communications. Just imagine what kind of Hi-IQ people are interested in study of communication.
You said you like him because he is like a kid. But it's not right. You and also Miyadai are intersted in Sociology because of all your inferior complexies for communication.
Hi-IQ people tend to be face the problems of discommunications, I guess.
>>171 lol yeah. just seeing around my area. There are many low IQ people who go out with good looking guys/girls. while High-IQ people staying alone saying complicated things and yelling how attractive they are....but he has no friends/girl friends. many so called smart guys are staying home alone and watching anime or listening to J-idols' low level music. lol at least I don't watch anime. I read and listment to some complicated stuff although my IQ is not as high as them ...lol
Ok. I'll stay more and try to answer you, little brother.
The problems of dicommunications are not always directly connected to IQs. Everyone has possibility to suffer. Like you and me.
And Anime. I can't find certain reason to avoid all the animations. And categoraize is sometimes useful but don't trust your impressions too much especially when you don't know it enough. You must doubt your prejudice and your first impressions.
See the society as it is. It's changing every second.
>>179 I am also a huge anime/manga fan, so I don't deny anime completely but as you get more mature, you would want to read more 活字 (the printed words) and start to avoid anime slowly. for refreshing, anime or manga is ok. but you know as your brain grows, you would get bored in childish stuff and start to get more fun in resolving more complexities.
but, looking around my area, I see many high IQ people still indulge in stupid stuff. I guess the problem is not only IQ, their maturity. So called EQ (emotional quotient?). I guess those who have high IQ tend to have low EQs... sadly.
to be more specific, they even fell in love with two dimentional girls. (anime characters). that's what I hardly understand. but that's the fact. I guess there is a huge abyss between the reality and the imaginations that they have created in their mind, and they can not cope with the reality. ok this theme requires me to write the too long text. so let's stop here. but remember, it is true high IQ people are very bad in communication in reality and they like to build their own world and thus it links to the two dimentional world.
>>182 If you got matured as well as I did, then you would avoid just reading paperbacks and start watching blogs, even start insisting something outside.
Because reading 活字 (the printed words) is so passive and has never chance to be tested by others.
About Anime and Manga, again. These sub-cultures are not only for children. That is your prejudice. If you will know better, then you must be going to understand what I say someday.
>>186 nah, not a prejudice. are there many 60 year old anime fans? that's the fact. as you get older, you would not like it as much as before. so it is something to do with the matuity level. (I am a big anime fan myself though. I read katsuji as well).
This notion seems a bit misleading, though. The study on interpersonal interactions is a fairly new sociological discipline that has been developed mainly at University of Chicago since the 40's. It is called "Chicago School." They focus on how individuals interact with one another at a micro level, rather than directly on social strafication and structure at a macro level. It is only one aproach in sociology, though, if I remember right, but it is actually utilized to help social workers deal with people with social problems caused by urbanization today. But then, Miyadai or what he says is completely unfamiliar to me, so I'll stay out of this.
I haven't watched much anime. I mainly read manga before. But I started watching recently. I am watching Kaiji (賭博黙示録カイジ) at the moment, it is very good.
We don't have animation like this in the West. With a contiguous storyline.
>>190 well...almost everybody read manga or watch anime in Japan and it's hard to find the one who doesn't watch or read them. so it is just norm. but what I said is....high iq ppl tend to avoid the real relationship esp with girls. and they seriously fall in love with anime. that's what I said...but this is not something we should talk enthusiastically....I'm kinda tired of those people. high iq, I mean I find many of those guys in prestigious univ in Japan.
>>189 What on the earth is difference? I learned the sociology was much popular in Europe countries recently. Deeply connected with Marxian economics, Semiotics, and also Systematic theory.
>>194 Ok. I don't mean to hurt you. But you should listen to others' opinions more honestly.
What you said in >>194 is so-called prejudice. You can't enter all UNIV in Japan and see all UNIV students in Japan too.
>>195 We Japanese is not like sort of artists but more like craftsmans. Craftsmans are hard working not to sophisticate something or not for ideals, but to amuse themselves and for their pride and craftsmanships. That is Japanese way. Self-satisfactions.
>>165 So you admit there is a possibility of miyadai being unable to go to scienece department and still being unable to admit he was not good at math and physics because of his pride? That's enough. I don't like his attitude that all are dumbs except him. So I just wanted to ridicule him. Do you know his father and grandfather were scientists and granfather was a notable botanist who served showa tenno? So I assume theare was too much pressure for miyadai to study science at tokyo uni. He justied his conversion to arts because of lack of dream in science at that time. But I doubt it. Just coulndn't handle math and physics well. It took one more year to enter tokyo uni.
I don't know him well. But I was suspicious of his praising of high school girl hookers. It's my assumption that high school girl dokyun life style was beyond his understanding and elite obottyan miyadai were just mistaken that there had to be something great about them. Youths are always fearless and laugh things away at any time. I guess. I think they didn't consider their life well in youth and may be paying price for that.
They may be marring wealthy men or leading a dokyun life style. always the same or worse. I don't think it's grown up indivisual.
I used to read a lot of his books. the reason is that I was also a bullied child from the primary school until now.
Miyadai was bullied? it's new to me. Oh, I heard gaki daisyo, boss juvenile helped him. So he somewhat delusion about yankee and bad guys. First yankees who come to my mind are concreate-encased high school murder case. It's not my personal experience though.
I was also bullied in my primary days. Nobody helped me. And it was rather insidious bulling among friend circle in which i was.
But miyadai has been always good at studying and brought up in wealthy family with love and care. I think he has been fortunate. My father was rather neglecting type.
>>202 (-_-"). well...even if I haven't seen all the students in uni, there is a certain tendency in this age in 2008. even if you don't see the graph and data to prove the tendency you can just feel it from what others do and say...of course there are some exceptions. if 6 out of 10 in your school and other 3 prestigious uni's friends say the same thing, maybe it proves that there is a certain tendency, I think.
untill now....? I am at a loss for words. bulling in uni? You are closely related to miyadai in personal life. I understand.
miyadai escaped to top class private school, so there must have been no actual bulling. And his lack of "real" experiece of athletic or martial arts club made him praise grueling...by which many were actually killed in low rank uni or high school.
>>203 yeah, I admit maybe Miydai was not good enough to enter the science section of prestigious uni. but what I said is that doesn't matter. his original ideas are the pineering.
re highschool girls' prostitute issue, maybe yes. although he tried to see through something break-through materials from their life style, he failed. today's highschool girls' unstable behaviors are not somthing he should have focussed on and study. I even forgot what he was writing there about that issue although I enthusiastically read it long time ago.lol
I'm not 160. But you know Miyadai much better than me.
>So you admit there is a possibility of miyadai being unable to >go to scienece department and still being unable to admit he was not >good at math and physics because of his pride?
I think he didn't say so. But we don't have enough informations about his exam now. So every possibilities and suspicions must be discussed, I think.
>I don't like his attitude that all are dumbs except him. >So I just wanted to ridicule him.
I can understand your feeling. Now I don't like him too.
>Do you know his father and grandfather were scientists and >granfather was a notable botanist who served showa tenno?
I've never heard that.
>It's my assumption that high school girl dokyun life style was beyond >his understanding and elite obottyan miyadai were just mistaken >that there had to be something great about them.
I don't think so... He was surveying テレクラ for long time before his activities of praising high school girls. And I heard that he started it because he wanted to protect some certain high school girls, Maybe he wanted to be another jesus christ for saving those girls' spirits.
It may sound ridiculous, but he must be serious, I guess..
>>206 I think morale has a greatl influence on their academic scores. Most students at low rank uni give up from the start. They can fill the gap somehow but they are determined to abandon dream. They are only around 18 but discouraged.
In america students seem to study hard at low rank uni because of possibility of transfer and support system.
>>209 Miyada is somewhat like aoyama bengosi, lawyer aoyama, who are obliged to give good things to poors and inferiors because he feel guilty of his wealth and academics...
You know aoyama and miyadai shouln't feel guilty of their wealth and elite status. But they are what they get for their efforts.
I have known many wealthy kids. But most of them were just spoiled and unpassionate still looking down on inferiors. some are bulling boys and some are really insiduous. Most of them are rotten from the root. And whatevery they do, parentes end up in helping them..
He was surveying テレクラ for long time before his activities of praising high school girls. And I heard that he started it because he wanted to protect some certain high school girls,
Interesting. SO he somewhat thought テレクラ was a lair of unhealthy people..? And angel miyadai tried to help a unfortunate girl from hell....LOL
In my case, since I was so frustrated in Japanese school's system, I thought his ideas are revolutionary.
I went to the most free high school in japan and many were obbsesed with how they looked from others monomaniacally. I feel very stressed. I wanted free in my spiritual stage.. some students have rotten eyes and students were screened into the positves and dropouts, including me?
I think what is free not as Utopian as comic be free. when free is attained, nothing can be left.
Freedom includes boredomness, no objection, restlessness. My high scool days remind me of escape of freedom by fromm. I've never reat it though. Maybe I was too childish and needed support.
At that time, sociology school was one of young, small, academic, snobbish schools. All left wings and big mouth. It isn't bad meaning. They are really eloquent and accurate too. But that only.
Miyadai attempted to change the world using their logic and impact, I guess.
A incompetent goverment demand the central bank to keep interest rates artificially low, just to meet its interest in a country where there is a rapidly aging population. The debt-ridden goverment want its borrowing costs and payment to the bonds to be low as posible as it could. Haha. The above mentioned is my view about the goverment during "lost period", referred to the decade-long depression.
I resent the way of today's typical manga writing style. many people reccomend death note here, But I have not read. I can't stand its anime 絵. today's contents of syonen jump seem to be all the same.
Should I cast away my prejudice and read death note?
Red hot chilli peppers really wrote the theme song for live version of death note...? Americans know this fact? just a stunt to make the movie look like more world wide? film maker just used already written song as the theme song? I feel ashamed of these stunts since komatsu sakyo movies. LOL unnaturally white foreigners among japanese actors and actresss or theme song by western musician.
>>224 yeah, he had to be more strategic, but he failed. and during his attempt, another disaster happened and he suffered from neurosis?(or something like that) and he kept silence. although he publish some books and writes blogs, nothing affected school system. meanwhile, Wada Jr Highschool's principal is working hard.
Anyway talking about Miyadai seems out of date by now. I want to see or read somebody who has a very new innovative ideas that to reform present boring systems as if drinking a cup of strong coffee to make myself wakeful but really hard to find those kind of people nowadays. I used to think he was one of those people...
I still believe in Miyadai. that's why I am still updating his blogs. he would restart the activities again maybe. Probably he's fed up with media and lost contact to them since people make big fuss over it.
I even forgot what was the main reason to raise up his name...probably I talked about my experience with a prostitute highschool girl and someone said I sounded like Miyadai-sensei. lol
but anyway I am so impressed that many people knew him and have varieties of opinions on sociology. I guess I am a bit young fan of Miyadai or I wonder if many uni students read his books...(those who know him very well must be a bit older than me).
本玉儿 is obsessed with tearing up woman's crotch! http://www.ltokyo.com/yanasita/killer/gein/victim1.gif Can he loo at the picture for a while and be sexually aroused by it? If he is real, you can do it. If he escapes and turns his face, he is just another big mouthed, coward!
warning!. this picture is explicitly cruel and traumatic. So don't see this without precaution.
I went to see my doctor last Friday and he told me I would be put on IV drip "every other day" from then on and see how my foot would go. My foot is getting better little by little partly because of IV drip, partly because of warmer weather. I haven't put any uho painkiller in my anus for the past week. Yipppiiieeee!!!
For the past 40 days, including yesterday I have gone to hospital to get IV drip treatment everyday. I don't have to go to hospital today (March 9th It's past midnight so it's 9th now). (Sunday) Yeaaahhhh!!!
Yesterday's nurse in charge of IV drip was a man who looks fresh from vocational school for becoming a nurse. I have seen him on weekdays but today was the first time he took care of me. Because he is in charge of injections not IV drip treatment on weekdays.
Something unbelievable happened when he placed his hand on my arm. My heart started beating fast and blood pressure went high and felt dizzy, beads of sweat on my forehead. Oh my! What on earth is this ? Is this an Uho feeling to him? Maybe because of accumulated side effect of uhoish painkillers melt in my anus in the past. I'm kidding of course. In reality, when I found out he was in charge of IV drip yesterday, I just mumbled to myself, "Uho!" jokingly and I thought I had to write about this in "chat in English" thread. lol
The pain I felt when he put a needle in my skin was the hardest among 40 days of IV drip treatment. I felt sudden impulse of slapping his head but instead I just said Ouch! in my mind. He is very friendly type and other middle aged female nurses seemed very nice to him. It's still rare to see a male nurse so he must be sort of popular among other nurses.
What was nice about him was he adjusted the speed of each drops falling precisely and today's IV drip treatment was precisely for 90 munites. This was the first time except when one nurse used IV drip electronic device that adjusts speeed to finish IV drip treatment on exact time.
But maybe that was just coincidence. Another patient who were taken care of by him complained it's passed 20 munites beyond due time. I don't think I have to use an uho painkiller anymore at least until Autumn or Winter when it gets cold, preferably forever. Cold weather is bad for my feet.
If you want to experience the joy of putting a pinkiller in your anus, I don't mind giving them all free of charge. Let's become Uho buddy, dude. uho!
>>165 さん I personally don't wanna talk abou miyadai any more. He was/is too narcissistic and noisy man.
But I want to know about bulling you have got. How have you been bullied? Is it phsyical bulling as well? I have not been bullied physically, but mentally. like mocking and ostracized from a group. When I cried, they ridiculed me saying tears filled up his eyes and almost cried...like that. others just kept observing, no interset in me or somewhat disdain on their faces.
I was queer but rather sunny boy and somewhat familiar figure in the class. I tried to be happy hiding my pain inside while I started to distrust people. But when i entered junior high school, things started to look completely different and I changed completely. ironic and dark man.. Maybe I cut relations with the people to defend my self. Bulling was just one reason, I guess. My parents and my inborn trait were also ascriable I think.
>>248-250 You got me wrong. I never said he should be more strategic. I just said he must have been strategic for selecting these tactics. In fact, he was strategic enough. Even too much consciousness. He must have decided to start that campaign to make his power most.
And he failed as you said. He couldn't change the social systems. But he changed the people's mind. Especially those who had strong stresses in current society. He did it because he was a kind of genius. I don't like him but still he was a real genius, I think.
If you're using 2ch browsers, then choose NG word management function. Ban the words such like "gay" "christianity" "sociology" and "Miyadai". You maybe happy with it. :)
>>270 I really don't know. Leung's hair is always really noticeable because she doesn't really have a face that stands out. Hirosue's face is easier to distinguish from other peoples', so I notice that first and then the hair. Still, though (in my opinion) she looks okay with short(ish) hair, she looks much better when it's longer, as does Leung.
>>260-261 I'm glad your foot's improving, and that you haven't had to perform any acts of uhoism lately. What do you do during your IV? Read magazines?
Miyadai's followers are mostly nerds and traumatic people who have small influence in this world. They are not established individuals whom miyadai idealized. They are always crying over the past and ask for compassion. some heroism in them too. I may be one of these... So very tiny and trivial matter. Very personal issue. tempest in a teacup? far from changing the world. I 've heard cult people and activists closely related with communism party say something like If We change one by one, then ultimately the world would change or small human chain would bring people one by one then change the the world. They always seem to overlook the fact that people are all different and others don't necessarily admit their ideal...
The notion that all people live in harmony is like communism. It should be,,,but miyadai is like univisity activists in 60s-70s.
I think miyadai would really take care of his children. Cos miyadai is a kind, weak minded man essencially no matter how he tries to make him look bad. But many communist-like people even can't protect their children. John lennon is famous. He left deep trauma in his first child..
kobayashi takeshi, sakamoto ryuichi,,,The list goes on..
And what am I? Trash. LOL very messy articl I wrote. sorry. My english is not good and I'm mentally unstable.
>>263 >I personally don't wanna talk abou miyadai any more. He was/is too narcissistic and noisy man.
Yeah, he is narcissistic. he is not a likable man.
> But I want to know about bulling you have got. How have you been bullied?
lol I was a bullied child all my school years. well but to be more precise, I was vulnerable child and am still vulnerable. People probably find it's fun to tease me or make fun of me because of my transparent impact of being bullied. I think my face shows very much of my conditions. I am not Jimmy Onishi but I kind of like him. people really enjoy bulling me both physically and mentally but slowly I realized that my innocent or stupid reaction would amuse bad students so being their 餌meat, is natural phenomenon in my life....sadly. could somebody advise me how to avoid to be their 餌?
>>275 lol Of course I am a boy. as I mentioned on the last thread, I met one girl on net and she was doing a ptostitution even she's a highschooler. I said I fell in love with her. did you see my post?
>>296 So you are like a clown. And with happy face inside pain? But unlike jimmy onishi retard, you've got high marks in the school examination, have you?
I always wear glum face and it kind of scare people off... But I'm not familiar guy either...
Why not mingle with smart guys only and stay away from dokyuns?
I was not good at academics but rather seen as clever or queer. So I have had difficulity getting along with people in school and the places I belonged to. otakish people seem to be seen clever or idiot.
>Miyadai's followers are mostly nerds and traumatic people who have small influence in this world.
maybe so. but how can a vulnerable child know the big world? they all live in a tiny world where their parents, siblings and their friends (or even there are no friends just some aquaintances) and they get traumatic hurt verbally and physically. they must be too weak but they really don't know how to protect themselves from those insenstive attacks. after seeing a big world, they would know that their would be staying in the place of neurosis, but first of all, they need to know the real world. some of us have only met tepid and boring adults who live with dead fish eyes and do the routines.
imagine if you are in a vulnerable child's situation, really seriously there is no choice but to suffer anguish. well I am talking about the situation in jr or highschool in Japan. after you grow up, you would know that there are alternatives, such as ....just transfer..you can move to another prefecture. that's so easy to change your present environment. but being a strengthless child, it's like walking on water to breakaway from the present plight is almost impossible. I know because I was a child like that before. and...miyadai's idea sounded like a dream for me. (ok no more miyadai sorry).
jimmy was retard. But that was his merit. He keeps on drawing for no return and finally got acclaimed.. He doesn't strive to highten him to normal standard. I personally don't like his paintings, which make me feel sick... His paintings are unhealthy to brain.
jimmy's life style is not recomended for everyone because jimmy is somewhat genius or mentally ill enough... If you are dumb enough, social welfare system will protect you. But not? We? borderline personality disorder people are helpless. They are normal in appearance... So people just assume we are lazy and loser. then when we strive to be common people, we'll lose something in ourselves. It's very difficult to get along with people normally.
>>300 that's interesting. ummm the people close were either bad guys or smart guys. but it's hard to stay away from dokyun. I can't distinguish them. "stay away" sounds so hard for me. lol I tried to ignore them many times, but it got even worse so I can't ignore them anymore. I just listen to them I don't talk to them though. you know there are various types of people in this world and some ppl can't behave as cool as you guys behave.
>>303 I'm not a borderline person. I don't need a social welfare system to protect me either. lol I am watching Hidaka-tan on TV. well it does not prove that I am smart but I am neither a dokyu nor a borderline person. I am only a strange person and used to be a vulnerable child before. lol thanks for your advice anyway. sorry I have to go now. see ya later.

>>309 B side of nanako sos record was lolita of love. The lyrics have nothing to do with nanako sos. the lyrics focus on more immature girl around senior primary school girls and it's insulting to high school girl nanako.
Anyway people have to be grown up to live with society and abandon pureness. the author are so pure that he abandoned society reversely. He lived as homelee for several years and became alchoholic... He seems to be sober now.
>>285 Hello there. Personally, from campaigns and things, I don't like Hillary much; she just seems too smug about things (after all, it always seems like the US elections are all about who has the best campaigns, not necessarily who has the best policies). Bill Clinton was charismatic and seemed to do a good job of things, despite his bad press (by Matt Drudge, who also published that Prince Harry was serving in the British Army in Afghanistan, which caused him to be pulled out - all the press in the UK agreed not to publish the story in the interest of security of him and other troops with him). it seems like she feels she is the best candidate mainly because she was married to a president. Personally, I hope that Obama gets in.
There was a short slot on the BBC last night about Obama City's (小浜市) campaigns for Obama.
>>312 In the introduction video that was posted, she starts off flying. Can she fly?
Hello there. Personally, from reading her biography, I like Hillary very much; she is too frank about things (after all, it always seems like the US elections are all about who has the best will to change it actually, necessarily who has the best policies). Bill Clinton was charismatic and seemed to do a good job of things, despite his bad press (by Matt Drudge, who also published that Prince Harry was serving in the British Army in Afghanistan, which caused him to be pulled out - all the press in the UK agreed not to publish the story in the interest of security of him and other troops with him). it seems like she feels she is the best candidate mainly because she was married to a president. Personally, I hope that Obama gets in. But wouldn't things go too slowly if Obama gets in?
By the way , Do you think that the woman's hip is soft ? You may think the woman's hip is soft because there is more subcutaneous fat than the man's hip . But I cannot agree to your opinion . Have you eaten fatty meat ? How about the resistance to the teeth you bit fatty meat ? It is hard to bite off the fatty meat than the red meat . This means that subcutaneous fat is stronger than the muscle ! In other word , the woman's hip is more firm than the man's hip ! !
本玉儿 is obsessed with tearing up woman's crotch! http://www.ltokyo.com/yanasita/killer/gein/victim1.gif Can he loo at the picture for a while and be sexually aroused by it? If he is real, you can do it. If he escapes and turns his face, he is just another big mouthed, coward!
warning!. this picture is explicitly cruel and traumatic. So don't see this without precaution.
I think the woman's hip is mild because there is more subcutaneous fat than the man's hip . It is hard to bite off the fatty meat than the red meat . The woman's hip is more firm than the man's hip..............
But I like young men's hip. They are goooooooooood to tooooooooooooouch How happy I should be thinking of their hips
>>314 I think sha can fly. My memory is pretty vague and thin.. But as long as i remember, nanako is a esper girl. She is shy and reserved, dull girl but when she put on nanako sos suits, she'll become super girl nanako! Or she'll automatically wear nanako sos suits when she changed into esper. When she changs super girl, distinctive theme song "nanako sos nanako sos" is played.
Image of flying in the sky make me think of youth image. In youth you can do anything. or you shoud have doen anything..
when I went to Suzuki An's blog, I smell something fishy. I mean I feel that she is or was Matsuken's gf. but someone said Aoi Yu could be also his gf. but I think it is impossible to confess his love feeling towards Nagasaku in public, in front of Aoi Yu. if she were his gf, he wouldn't say " ohhh I like Nagasaku san so much" on the stage...lol
>>314 I'm glad that finally I could get イギリス人's reply about nanako sos.
You are a fan of hirosue and okina megumi, right? They were pure and innocent in looks. actually not.. So You taste must have been touched by nanako sos somehow. But your english tendency to hide your sexual orientation must have hindered you from commenting about nanako. But please talk about your humble opinion about nanako.. easy and simple words are o.k like cute and adorable.
by the way hirosue and nanako sos are completely different thing for me. But frome a wide perspective they might be in the same category.
she was a blind young girl but a millionaire's heir. her big bro was lost long time ago but one day one guy appeared and claimed he is her lost bro. but she can't see. her bro disappeared and she lost contact with him and she has no parents. of course he is fake he met her real bro coincident so heard a lot of information of their memories. after living with Hirosue, slowly he started to love her. I forgot the title of the drama but it was a nice drama.
the good part of the drama was that the fake guy tries to approach Hirosue for money because he has a huge amount of debt and if he cannot return until the day the yakuza lender said, he'll be dead because he signed to sell his internal organs. the internal organs buyers were so weird. I think that guy was Morimoto Reo.
Morimoto Reo is dirty guy in real life. He was perceived as a good-natured man. But he was reported to be involved in many nearly criminal acts one after another.
>>327 Well... I was just wondering because >>258's comment makes it sound like the strangest thing she does is drive a car. I'd say being able to fly is quite unusual though. And why does she drive when she can fly? When I was about 6-8 years old, I had a recurring dream where I could fly. Now I have (somewhat) a case of acrophobia.
Wouldn't really say I'm a fan of Okina's, but have seen a couple of the movies she was in (Akakage and Ju-on). I'm afraid I can't really comment much on Nanako SOS, though, because I've never seen it.
>>328 That was '愛なんていらねえよ、夏', wasn't it? Haven't actually seen it, but now you've mentioned it, will give it a try, thanks!
>>284 Thank you for your nice comment. I usually just sleep during IV. It's not until a few days ago that I could sleep very well. My sleep hadn't been deep because of strange feeling in my foot or slight pains so I had had to make up for the lack of sleep during IV.
When I felt pain during IV, I couldn't sleep so I just had to be patient waiting for the pain to go, which didn't go most of the time, though. You can read a book or magazine or whatever you like during IV but I just saw only one person reading somthing during IV. Almost all people just lie on a bed.
Maybe it may be a good idea for me to read something now that I can sleep well enough. Or reading something until late at night and sleeping during IV might be a good idea, too.
There were a noisy day when three infants came in turn, in the 90 minuites of my IV, to get a injection. I couoldn't sleep that day at all because all of them cried like hell, being frightened of an injection. On that day, my foot condition was really bad, so I was irritated and frustrated by the crying kids even more to the extent that the idea of shouting to them, "shut up!" crossed my mind, to be honest.
>>338 yeah! イギリス人さん。that's it! that's one of my favorite Jdrama. pls try to watch it. it won't fall short of your expectation. Hirosue's acting was great as a blind girl.
>>347 Yeah, I am so good at math and plus, I can become a fool when I count a number that includes 3 and multiples of three and become like a dog when I say multiples of 5.
Well... I was just wondering because >>258's comment makes it sound like the strangest thing she does is drive a car. I'd say being able to fly is quite unusual though. And why does she drive when she can fly? ------------------ Hahaha. very honest opinion. I want to reply in a honest way too. As I said before, nanako is a super girl who can fly. So she flies as usual. while driving a car is easy and usual scenery, person of 18 years old and over can drive a car in Japan. Nanako is prohibited to drive a car by traffic law. Even if she is 18 years old(most likely not), she is most likely to be banned to drive a car by school regulations.
>I'm afraid I can't really comment much on Nanako SOS, though, because I've never seen it.
I'll post my translation of nanako sos in english so that イギリス人's imagination can be sparked. japanese lyrics use both past tense and present tense even if every tense of lyric is simultaneous. so my translation may be odd.
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=D9pNHtAAEVM 風の色が青に変る Colour of the wind changes into blue. 踊りだした夏に誘われて Tempted by summer which starts to dance, 忘れていた あなたのこと 思い出したの you I had forgotten I recalled. 夏のせい It is because of summer. 呼び出したりして ごめんなさい 突然海が 見たかったの Sorry for calling you away, suddenly I feel like seeing the ocean. 思い切り あなたと 白い渚 In abandon, with you, on the white beach. 今ならば もう 愛せそう In this moment I feel like I can love you. 思い切り あなたと 光るしぶき In abandon, with you, shining splash. オレンジのダンシング まぶしいわ Orange dancing, dazzling.
>>355 Thanks very much, I'll take a look at the ending too. I guess you're right about her driving, though. There are, of course, age limits for driving, so she could get into trouble if caught. However, if she's caught flying, she can't really be arrested (since you have to be in a vehicle for airspace violations).
It all depends on where she would fly to. If she violated the airspace of North Korea, for instance, I'm sure they would attempt to intercept her with a missile without warning. But, she would most likely survive it. I can't believe I'm talking about nanako sos.
Can I ask about direct narration and indirect narration? I used to think pronoun must be used from third person(reader's) standpoint. For example, direct narration 'you(the name, tanaka) should die" will become "he should die" in indirect narration. Because for third person(a reader) tanaka is He. But how about this narration? 'you(my tentative name, sato) should die' I assume "he should die" is correct in indirect narration. Because I(sato) am "he" from third person. But "I should die" must be correct, right? I stumble over it. Because for a reader "I" equals to "reader himself". "I should die" means "a reader should die". Something must be wrong. Help me.
I have a question about English pronunciation. When you say "with some books", do you pronounce the "th" sound clearly? Do you think it's ok to use the "Z" sound instead when you speak naturally? So it's like "wiz some books". I'd appreciate it if you gave me good advice.
>>366 You sound much more educated if you do pronounce the 'th', and much more understandable. If you want to sound like a London street urchin, you can say "wiv", though. At least up here, it's mainly chavs who say "wiv". If you run words together (such as making the end of a word sound a bit like the beginning of the next word), you're probably either speaking too fast, or being lazy about the pronunciation.
>>366 It's nonsense to ask such a question here, We know how the English language works grammatically, based on text books etc., but nobody here can actually speak English. All we are doing here is just pretending to be able to speak English and, perhaps, wanking.
>>371 Sorry, it's just a bit hard to follow the question.
If you converted "You should die" from direct narrative to indirect narrative, then I would assume (if the "you" is the reader), it would be "you should die", but without direct quotation.
"You should die", he told him. - Direct narrative (Addressee is third person) He told him he should die. - Indirect narrative (Addressee is third person)
"You should die", he told me. - Direct narrative (Addressee is first person) He told me I should die. - Indirect narrative (Addressee is first person)
If this is what you're thinking is wrong, it looks perfectly fine to me.
I wrote something last night to >>287. About Miyadai's attitude for the world. Also the difference between left wing and communists in Japan.
But it was too long to be called chat thing. ^^; Then I posted them in other thread not to interrupt the chat here.
All I can say now is that if you found the tempest in your tea cup, then you would get the Nobel prize and Academy award of SFX at the same time! lol lol lol Newton Sir Isaac had found universal gravitation from falling apples, you know.
It is really tough for me to make and/or put together the "th" and "s" sounds. You need to put your tongue in between your teeth to make the "th" sound and then pull your tongue back to make the S sound, don't you? My tongue will be twisted that way! lol
That was impressive!!! I can see how you see him and your way of understanding his theory. I often see Miyadai bashing everywhere. He is kind of the guy who creates the controversies. People just can’t ignore the person like him Why? if one doesn’t like him, the one can ignore him completely and the person like Miyadai would get no places to give a bark and eventually dies. But always, somebody make a big fuss over his theory, thus he still caught attentions. Reason why Miyadai gets so many opponents is because;
1) he is not a person of integrity like Oh Sadaharu lol 2) his theory is always extreme 3) narcissist 4) his hypothesis is based on his inferiority complex 5) おぼっちゃん 6) he often reel people who suffered from depression while he, himself is even 躁病 (the opposite state from depression). you know that's really inresponsible. it'S like he sets a fire to millions of 鬱 people, and he goes away for resort to Hawaii.
I see many key words of him, まったり(being quiet? no emotion?), 終わりなき日常(live an endless life). I remember he said “those who have load of toils? from the beginning of their lives such as poor, his mother died, handicapped etc, are lucky. Because they have means to live. Meanwhile most of us are born in too carefree abandon environment. That’s why it’s hard to live. We feel empty all the time so to survive this boring days, we should create something by ourselves, as you mentioned 強度。But it is very inresponsible to innocent youngsters..
I would say if we’d listen to his hypothesis seriously, we'd end up killing ourselves or in order to find the self-fullfilment, we should go “prostitution” (which is to represent the word, 強度) as some biologist used to say, that we have fate from the beginning that we all own genes that manipulate our pathes. so everythings is already set. (sorry this is another story, but again it seems like a hopeless hypothesis in life). Anyway, what I said his ideas are some theory to reform the school system. Of course it is based on this “mattari” hypothesis but I actually agreed with his ideas.
I still like him a lot. He is not the god but he is more like an extreme OTAKU boy who used to be a もてないsuper nerd.. Later succeeded to become a playboy thru many media, machines such as computer, テレクラ、and by using smooth tongue, some ideas to make people surprise.
Conclusion; we should not listen to Miyadai seriously but he is fun. Let’s just don’t stay too close to him but let him give freedom to say what he wants. So that sometimes he would save some いじめられっこlike me.
oh ok then later. I don't have enough logc armed right now. I even forgot what i've read from Miyadai long time ago. so I have to go thru over his books again. I'll be back.
>>398 Haha aint that the truth. Ah well, i would probably end up being brought back as some unholy monstrosity anyways.
After all when you make a 1000 year contract with the elder gods for untold power, they don't let a little thing like death get in the way of your duty.
>>397 (=_=)well probably I didn't read your post carefully but it's not that bad to be called awful or something. anyway, I won't talk about it anymore. it's just not fun for other people.
but to write anything you want make your English improve. so for the purpose of my writing skill, I wrote that broken logic. it's not even a logic though. if you don't like it, just ignore. thanks
Oh well, I guess I'm going to get kicked out of the university... I have no will to fight for my position anymore. If it end up in a huge crack between me and my parents, so that I have to leave my home (it's unlikely, because my parents are so good, but I fail their expectations again and again! orz)... In this case I'll just enter the army service. It's much better than being a homeless anyway...
>>402 I don't think that the logical sequence of yours is incoherent. Those who censure you for your alleged logical flaw just can't recognize the things for what they are. Please be reassured; sanity is not statistical.
>>407 I live with my parents. Of course, they know about that. But I can't stand that I'm making them sad.
In school I was top of class, though I never put enough effort and concentration to my studies to get the best grades... In university this became much worse. Being such a shy young man I have a trouble with talking to my lecturers, dean and others about my poor situation... Some students can blatantly lie or argue with them to prove their point and they succeed! I just nod in reply and say something like: "I understand... I understand... Sorry...", so almost any conversation leaves me somewhat depressed, because I don't want to talk to them again, but I have to.
>>408 I don't exactly get the whole picture of your situation, but please try to do it with a fair rule. if you show your sincerity, people including your parents would understand.

Anyway, you should read others carefully first as >>397 said. Try to make your compositions as compact as possible. (You did it in >>401-402) I always write once in text editor and improve them before my posting.
Probably you'd better go to sociology board to find your buddies to talk about it in Japanese, and use this thread for having some relaxed chats. It goes off if everybody started spaming they want and ignore each other. You understand? I'm talking about sociology mostly for those who don't konw it. In fact, I have no particular interests in Miyadai. Almost no ideas, but I had to correct your posts becoz it might make those misunderstood the whole sociology.
I do never hate long posts or general talking about anything, but you must give priority first to others here.
X It goes off if everybody started spaming they want and ignore each other. O It goes off if everybody started spaming they wanted and ignored each other.
You never seem to correct yourself. Probably you don't read what you post all over again. Then you can't expect furter improvement however.
"You should die", he told him. - Direct narrative (Addressee is third person) He told him he should die. - Indirect narrative (Addressee is third person)

>>375 I seem to have completely misunderstood. Prououn seems to be determind from the wirter's standpoint. I was just confused. I don't always make mistakes based on the my false assumption that pronous is determined from the reader's standpoint.
I am an international student attending at community college. It's really hard to live in CA without car, cell phone, and PC... And homestay really makes me mentally tired. I want to move to an apartment, but since I made 3 months contract with homestay company, I have to live in the current host's home at least 3 months.
I have to take 2 buses to go back host's home from community college. And since I registered some evening and night classes, I won't be able to catch the last bus. About this issue, my host mother said "You have to change classes so that you can go back home by bus." but I think it's unreasonable to take classes what I don't want to take because of transportation problem. What do you think about this?
>>438 too bad... the only solution is to cause some trouble in you host's place, so that they will terminate the contract and kick you out. of course, you have to find a new accommodation secretly before doing this. and get somewhere closer to your college. good luck
It's strange to me that the first "related video" would be a short looping clip set to some really bad Swedish "hits for kids" type music. Not to mention that the song would show up on other related videos too.
Now I'll have to listen to SID music for a while just to flush that out of my system...
>>438 I don't think you can expect the host family to solve your transportation problems. Of course, you could offer to cover the costs and see what they say. If you can't work something out, it looks like you have to drop the late classes. It sucks, but what else can you do?
>>438 find other transportations. if there is only bus, try to find somebody who goes to school by a car and ask the person to get a ride on his car. is it hard?
>>438 that means you promised to your school friend that you'll be back to his apartment in 3 months? wtf. you are always lying to your host mother. you just behave more natural to her and say the truth she would be nicer if you'd say your trouble honest with a respectful manner.
The homestay company says, "We require students to make a time commitment to our program according to the schools and areas where they will live. In most cases, a three-month commitment is required. Exceptions are made for schools that have programs with shorterterms. Once we accept a student’s application, the student is required to stay for the entire time period.
Does this mean I can't move out of current host's home within 3 months? Or, does this mean even if I moved out of current home this month, I have to pay for the rest 2 months?
The bus system here is really disgusting so I strongly want to move to a house or apartment which is located near my college. I am really afraid to tell my host mother about the fact that I want to move out, because I have 3 months commitment... If I tell her about it today, maybe I would be bullied by her until I move out. I want to die...
>>461 As I read it, your agreement is with the homestay company, and not with the individual family. ("commitment to our program" is all it says)
You should be able to at least ask the company for advice without hurting any feelings. And even asking for better acommodation should not be a problem, I think. You don't have to tell your host family yet, of course.
probably he has too high pride and doesn't want to aplogize the host mother in front of many people. for Japanse, saying "gomennasai" and bow down is just a piece of cake though.

Don't accept his lyrics at face value. his lyrics like uncontrollable chav or an idol of class is infatuated with noriaki's flow.. It's fake. But real. Noriaki's real shouts from inferiority complex!
I don't like all of second hand things ranging from clothes, book, car to a potential girlfriend. In reality when I buy a book in English, I sometimes buy a second hand though just because it's inexpensive. Sometimes a second hand book smells bad maybe becuase of dust or mold. But I was patient enough to read it through. Can't complain.
As for second hand clothes, I don't want to wear those clothes whose previous owners are unknown to me. I feel their lives and histories was seeped in the clothes so I really hate it. Like if the previous owner had bad luck, then I think it can be contagious to me.
Books are ok because those are things just to hold in your hand but in case of clothes you are wrapped in them. Can't stand it. As for potential girlfriend I just want to avoid a woman whose pus*y was rubbed again and again by unknow men, if you know what I mean.
>>538 You must be Japanese. If not, it's impossible to know about Gibo Aiko.
>>540 Matsuken and sokagakkai? What do they have anything to do with my post? I love virgin women but let me tell you first that I'm not pedophile. I love grown-up virgines.
>>361 イギリス人さん hay! Why do you avoid commenting on nanako's lookings and motions?
I'll tell you the truth. Nanako must have taken you by surprise! Nanako took your breath away! Your heart ached and never stops. She stole your heart. You are thinking about her all day long! She preoccupy you. You get a lump in your throat.. You want to touch her. But can't. Because you want to keep her pure and innocent. You just keep watching her from distance.
That's like a first love. You are born again. Congratulations! We can live a life again and again thanks to nanako!
>>517 Good morning (or good afternoon, by my time)! Hmm... the three most recent novels I've read were...
Collected Short Stories, by Anton Chekhov The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexander Dumas
Just got my hands on 'The Time Machine' and 'Island of Dr. Moreau', by H.G. Wells, so will probably start one of those quite soon. Seen so many movie versions of Time Machine, but have never actually read the book.
How about you? And are there any books which you would recommend?
>>544 Why Yoko Oshita? There are more attractive female narrator/TV announcer on TV. I love Mao KObayashi. She was virgine at that time so probably she is still virgine.
And Wells. You loved classics not only of music but of novels too.
I don't read enough English novels, but I heard you are woking on the web site and making malware or something. XD. So that makes me think of "Neuromancer" or "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"..
I don't like buck theeth, ugly, noisy kansai jinn.
anyway, cute girl confession of verginity won't hurt her image, rather highten her image. Ugly girl's connfession? I don't wanna hear! Maybe mao will marry the first man!
I used to love the B class SF movies and their originals.. Strange Days or Johnny the memonic.. I remember Peter Gabriel was singing the theme of Strange Days.. Now I feel as if that was yesterday.
>>549 He is busy making malwares and viruses. His current project is to spread a totally new type of virus on April 1st. Yeah, April Fool's day.
He is thinking of compelling and irrisistable title of e-mail to which the virus will be attached. The title has to have something to do with April Fool's Day.
"Neuromancer" or "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"..
Uwahahaha. nostalgic! cyber punk! Reders of cyber punk used to be high-nosed and think themselves special! I've read none of them. But I like cyber punk image of dark, hopless future! acid rain and skyscrapers lighted by flying cars! Animation, armored troopers botoms was one of my favorites. It was heavily influenced by blad runner(original piece, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.)
Oshii mamoru must be a follower of blade runner or cyber punk. So he is overpraised , I think. Pretty old and mannerism approach. too stick to meaningless footage in detail.
>>549 Oooh, have yet to read Gibson's 'Neuromancer', but have already read 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'. Though he seems to have been little mentally disturbed, he did write some good books (though I've only read that, 'A Scanner Darkly' and a couple of his short stories).
Right now, I must go get some things for cooking, so will continue this later... but still, which novels do you prefer reading? Any favourites?
I want to add that cyber punk is losing to reality.. Perhaps cyber punk is related to music like kraftwork, which depicts estranged and systematic human relation under robot power in the near future.
Information technology made people more human. chatting and laughing and anger, jeoulsy, ridiculing all the same... better or worse.
cyborg technology is another factor. But violent still cool society will be rality? oshii is so absorbed in dark, silent future.
Odyssey 2001 failed to forsee the future. It's not the main issue though. Some idiots and stubborns pointed out the face and exulted.
But Odyssey 2001 depicted china as super power who launeced aerospace ships and built space station. It's very close. Even clark could not have seen its greediness though.
>>562 Now I finally understand what you said. You mean, Botoms is heavily influenced by blade runner, and the "Androids.." is its original?
I'm confused much because I never thought of relations between Botoms and Philip K Dick as you did everyday. You must be too much biased by animations.
Asimov wrote frendship between robot and human detectives by The Caves of Steel. Asimov's approach is different to cyber punk, I think. He was science person and proferssor unlike oshii and Dick.
I have not read Sf for a long time but have some knowledge about it. not up-to-date though. I'm arts person(not good at science in another word). So I should stay away from SF or study elementary math first.. Too much fantasy will destroy me too..
>>568 I understand you love animations. SO pls you understand there is another person here who wanted to talk about second hand books with buddies in this thread.
When we talk about animations here, we should take care of others who don't have much interests in it. It's my lesson I've just learned a couple of days ago..
Come to think of it, writer of GHOST IN THE SHELL is not oshii. I'll be bashed by oshii's enthusiast!
But oshii joined an event to commemorate phlipp dick and movies, GHOST IN THE SHELL and うる星やつら beautiful dreamer seem to be influenced by blade runner. I'm not really interested in oshii. So I stop right here.
CHICAGO - At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this age group.
>>580 You seem to be only person who is frequently talking about Oshii here.
If you were no more interested in Oshii's works, then you wouldn't have to watch his former video works like 機動警察パトレイバー, ダロス or 天使のたまご. His real nature is lying there however.
うる星やつら BD is good. But IMO, his recent works seem to be just diffusions.
Have you read "The woman-child aretalogy" of the chinese literature ? As for this story , The 13-younger sister is the chief character . The 13-younger sister is master of the martial arts that she can beat to 500 enemies . But she has a weak point and if she was tickled armpits , she would cry "eek! !" and run around . I like such 13-sister .
Foxnews At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this age group. A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls — nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-American teens, the study from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.
Among girls who admitted ever having sex, the rate was 40 percent. While some teens define sex as only intercourse, other types of intimate behavior including oral sex can spread some infections.
For many, the numbers likely seem "overwhelming because you're talking about nearly half of the sexually experienced teens at any one time having evidence of an STD," said Dr. Margaret Blythe, an adolescent medicine specialist at Indiana University School of Medicine and head of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on adolescence
>>637 Yoko Osita has ever walked nude in Chicago where was full of niggers . Naturally , Niggers attacked her all at once , but Yoko Osita fought them while getting a wet in own vagina and repulsed them . For a while , Yoko Osita cried out , "はひぃ〜、はひぃ〜", while rubbing her soaked vagina ! !
Dick has a great dick. Dick likes dicks very much. Dick is really fond of dicks.
Dick's favorite dicks are [ uprising ] large and tight dicks [ which spring back [ patting the belly with sharp sound ] [ when let go after lifted forward ] ].
I want to ask you something, you foreigners. There are various boards/forums beyond your imagination in 2channel. As far as I know, you can see amateur girls' nudes in some boards. They are never forced to show their nudes but they do that with their own will.
I said amateur girls but maybe some of them work in sex industry but some are apparently school girls, teenagers. They are all called 女神, or Goddess, cause for sex hungry boys/men, they are the object of admiration. Some accept poses the men/boy request, like, " I wanna see you in an imaginary doggie style" then, the "Godess" accept it and upload their photos of them in an imaginary doggie style.
Almost all people have a cell phone with a digital camera built in, and girls/women use their own cell phone to shoot their photos. Sometimes they shoot a short video with it in which they do a sensual pose and even they do masterbation like rubbing thier own boobs or spreading their pussy or using dildos.
I can't help but being dumbfounded by this phenomina in which girls/women do everything if they are anonymous. While they show their photos and videos, boys/men keep throwing very nice and flattering words to those girls. I can understand the girls/women feel like a popular girls or movie stars. Maye be that's one of the reason some girls do that stuff.
So my question is, is there this type of phenomina overseas in which completely amateur girls show thier nude to strangers via net ? I think some of you guys have the impression that Japanese women/girls are relatively reserved but when under annonymity, they do explicit things beyond our imagination.
Do you know in one facility for orphants on an island in English channel used to be a stage of child abuse? it is transformed into youthe hostel now but it is said that lots of skuls and bones of aboused kids are still beried in the premises of the facility. Is it a big news in UK? I read an article about this news on IHT. (International Herald Tribune)
>>649 This is very big news here in the UK. Initially, remains of one child were found by a sniffer dog under a few inches of concrete. Police then found parts of the cellar were bricked up. After breaking through, they found a bathtub with bloodstains in it next to some shackles. They still have more chambers to investigate, though. Some more bone fragments have been found, but they haven't actually given any more details.
>>647 Hey Katachyan ! !Who is the woman whom you imagine rubbing your penis ? If your onapet is Yoko Osita , You have a good judge of women though you are abnormal . But it is Emi Takeuchi , You have a poor judge of women though you are normal ! You should have eyes watching a woman !
>>650 I think they should investigate throughly. It's bad and disgusting that this kind of abuse has happened in history. Always the weak in the society are targets of these type of crimes. Abuses in Catholic churches by clergies are on the same line. Criminals in a jail can be victims of this type of crime, too.
I read an article about Japanese jail in which a doctor abuses inamtes. He conducted unnecessary invastigation into thier anuses.Criminals have to be given human rights. In the case of the children abused in the facility, their lives must have been like a hell. It's a really sad story.
>>654 There's no doubt that the forensics are doing a very careful and in-depth job. It is sad that things like this have happened. The children who were housed here were too afraid and humiliated to report this before. Even now that some of them are in their fifties, they've still lived with their abuse and not said anything, also afraid that nobody would believe them.
We very rarely hear stories of abuse in prisons here, and the same goes with the Catholic church (though we're still all aware of stories from the past). At least things are becoming a lot better than they were in the past, at least in these cases.
>>650 I wonder why people can be so cruel. It's sad. Maybe, is it orphanage?(sorry I checked the posting again and it was orphanage) So even If children were killed, nobody would notice them dead. And caretakers must have taken advantage of the situation to fill their crooked sexual satisfaction. Just like pedophile becomes teacher or boy lover becomes pastor..
Nanako Sos will save the world? Rather I would hang myself for her. But I don't wanna be noticed coz I don't want her to cry.
serial murder cases and lust murder cases(often with serial murder) mostly happen in protestant countries. America and England and Germany are on the top list. It's not because of religion but because of germanic white blood?
I cantacted the homestay company, and it replied, "The only solution is you change classes."
I have some social science credits I acquired at University in Japan, so the classes I need to take here in this quarter are Math and English classes, both of which are evening classes. What should I do??!!!
>>659 Are you nuts? Stop whining here. What'S the point of complaining here? Now that you are living in US, you have to solve all of your problems on your own. Your attitude is disgusting.
>>659 Tough situation. But it seems like you have done as much as you can without inconveniencing your host family. I think it is time to ask them for suggestions.
It makes no sense going abroad, and then *not* taking English classes, because of a schedule problem. I think you could quite easily convince them of that, at least.
>>666 I don't buy that. As long as you go to American university or college, all classes are lectured in English so that makes you improve your English. English is not something you study but you study in.
>>672 What's your college's favorite food? You put it on the end of a long rope and pull the rope from your hot family's home. Maybe your college is drawn to your home little by little for its favorite food.
>>669 And I disagree. It helps to have an environment specifically for learning English, and it really helps having a teacher whom you can ask questions.
It is possible (at least after you know the basics) to learn by doing, but if you can have both, that's better. IMHO.
Thank you for thinking about my problem. How can I convince my host mother and the homestay company without offending them? Maybe, moving out in this month means I violate the 3 months commitment... I want to make them think I cannot help but move out before classes start.
I like the life in the U.S. better than that in Japan, because I have friends and most people are friendly here. But surrounded by many problems, I began to think it would be better for me to go back to university in Japan. I have to decide as soon as possible whether I go back to Japan...
>>676 Dolph Lundgren? Don't know about "national hero", I don't think the impression most people have of him is anything special. I guess most people think he's just this big dumb guy, but he actually has a civil engineering degree, in chemistry. And apparently he's quite a smart guy.
As for being tall, he's over 190 cm. I'm only around 180 (which is average).
>>683 I've heard that the average in the Netherlands is 184-185. Tallest population in the world...
>>682 Hmm. What will happen if you move out? Does the homestay company have the power to do anything to you? I think that if you are paying them, then you can do whatever you want. Find somewhere else to live.
Don't worry about offending the people at the company. And you should just have to explain the situation to your host mother, and tell her it is your only option.
If you didn't manage to do, just crying that you were bullied by your host mother, just complaining in 2ch that 40 minutes ride at night time is too heavy and dangerous, then your further life would go like that from now.
Try someting yourself, unless you get nothing. Get a bike and choose your life.
A bike may not be a good choice for a woman. The vagina can't avoid the inevitable rubbing against the seat, which can cause irritation or possiblly orgasm. The former is a serious disease and the latter is dangerous while riding a bicycle.
A bike is totally out of the question in this case. RIding a bicycle at night can be very dangerous in the US, where rape and murder are as common as bowing is in Japan.
Please stop (self) correction. Nobody here would give a damn about tiny mistakes, typos, and wierd choice of words as long as we can communicate. So please stop it.
>>697 I see. Then I'll write them in my memo pad. I'm coming here to improve my English and have some chats. Some people here seem to hate rude English, so I may be bit nervous.
Still I guess it's very good to learn English for me.
And I ask you too to use anchor(>>) for identifying the person you are talking with. This is not the thread for solving the CA students' transportation problems, you know.
>>697 And please don't take it too offencive. I was joking at first because I would like to make you relaxed somewhat. (e.g. dong's sled, segway and etc etc..)
If you were so depressed, then you would not hit upon good idea, or you wouldn't even see what problems were.
You are the only person who knows the answer. So don't give up thinking on the way.
Could you give me some advice on how to make my host mother think I cannot but move out before classes start, please? I am not thinking about having a bicycle.
I'm still watching these reaction videos! There are a LOT of them. On top of that there are LOTS of two girl one finger reactions. I can't stop. Theyre all funny!
YouTube's reaction video system donen't seem to be working good now. Google should modify it for us to find the original source video more easily, I guess.
It may help so much YouTubers including Tinabon and Magibon.
>>704 Tell your host mother that you really need to take that class because it'd be a waste of a lot money otherwise, and you're willing to pay for the gas and such, say 40$ or so a month, if she can pick you up. After all, if you move out, they won't get paid. If she says no, then tell her you have to move out.
>>708 My host mother is working so she won't be able to drive me home. Since I made a 3-month commitment with the company, even if I move out in this month, my host mother will tell me that I have to pay for the rest 2-month... It's awful... When I applied for the homestay program, I told the company that I wanted to stay in a house which is located near college and from which I can commute to college in a short time. If they could not find such houses, they sould have told me so!
>>710 Then you should only tell that to them (Company that you made a contract with). 2ch people are totally useless for your college programs and transportation.
Any consulting counters for foreign students in your college?
>>710 I don't think you have to pay them at all if you move out. And homestay companies usually have something like a home change option in case some problem happens. Tell them their coordination for your host family didn't work, so they have to rearrange it. If they say no, just fuck them and find a roommate or sublet room.
>>711 That's good idea. I will go to International Student Office in my college and tell them about this issue tomorrow... >>712 The company said "There are no host families available where you can take the bus for evening classes."
The following is what I want to say to the homestay company: When I applied for your program, I told you that I wanted to stay in a house which is located near college and from which I can commute to college in a short time. If you could not find such houses, you sould have told me so. If I can't move out in this month, I will sue you.
>>713 I am now looking for an apartment, of course secretly, and I already found some good sharerooms online, so I want to visit them. But I can't do that until the host company says I can move out in this month without paying for the rest 2-month.
Please let me say something to >>635-637 before my leaving.
Somebody asks me to stop self-correcting so now I can't. If you find something wrong with my compositions, then tell me anything for my improvements. I don't mind if the corrector is a native English speaker or not.
I know some non-native speakers here are using good English. Even if you (I mean Japanese) were not good at using it, you might be good at correcting others.
And when you don't like the long posts, pls go through me.
>>635-637 If you happened to be there, (it doesn't matter he is a nigger or not,) then you should escape at first to safe spaces in good light and crowded. When it's difficult, scream "Help!" as loud and many times as you can so that people around there will be noticed. Or always bring the handy alarm with you. Don't think of fighting against them. Your priority there is not to beat them.
In fact, if they decide to do it, you can hardly avoid it. Because sure that they must have inferiority complexies to females in their mind, but they are also looking for the womens who are apparently weaker than them in power. And the conditions, circumstances, they must consider them much better than you do. I mean criminals are preparing for it.
If someone gotta be one of victims unfortunately, she might have two options to choose. One is that she can go to the hospital and then try to forget it regarding that as a serious accident. Two is that she can report to the police, and fight against them in the court.
Option one needs a sort of patience, I guess. In the case the victim have strong menatality enough then this might be her choice.
She will have hard time in later option too. But it will save not only herself but other victims as well as potential victims in the future.
>>714 But did the company agree? If they agreed to try and find somewhere close to the college for you, then you might have a chance to to put some pressure on them. If they never agreed, then I'm not sure what you can do. (Except leave without paying, obviously.)
Find someone in the area where you live to give you advice. They will know how to deal with companies better than some people on 2ch.
And keep looking for somewhere else to live, of course.
I've watched Tinabon's video just now. And now got some questions.
She much looks alike half Japanese girls (Or maybe Korean. Or Chinese). Like Meisa Kuroki. Does she Tinabon look like ordinary Hawaian Americans, you foreigners think? I know it doesn't matter for her cuteness, but I've never been to Hawaii, so I'm just curious.
And if any her funs here, pls tell me what she said in her second video. It might be named "How to be a Japanese girl" and I heard she said "seductive Japanese stairs" or something like that. I don't understand.
>>723 I think she is cuter than Magibon. But she needs originality, all she has done in her videos seem like imitating the Magibon's video style. I haven't been to Hawaii, either so I dont't know much about how Hawaiian girls look but as far as I know lots of Asians have moved to Hawaii, including Japanese so I think you see more interracial marrages there.
This is what she says in the video.
"Have you ever wondered how random Japanese girls get so many views for doing absolutely nothing? Well today I'll teach you five simple steps to get you started. You have to look "kawaii." Step 2 You have to have some cute little Asian song. Step 3 Learn to make a peace sign. Like this. Step 4 Wave. Step 5 Most importantly, do a seductive Japanese stare. And ??? you look a little something like this. That's it. Post a video response and let me see you try. Thanks for watching."
I'm a Japanese English learner myself so I couldn't catch what she said in the video completely so the part I didn't understand was written like, ??? above.
Actually I'm one of Magibon's funs. But Tinabon is cute for sure. I think so too.
Hmmm.. I minded a little that she said "Asia". If she had roots in Asia herself, then she might mention to exact country. Anyway your view for Hawaiians is much helpful for me.
And about originality. I know what you mean, I guess. But Magibon herself has no originality too in fact. Now she is a symbol of all cute weeaboos and playing that role very faithfully since she was one of YouTubers.
However what Tinabon said in 2nd video may be all about Magibon. And that made me know how big her impact was to other weeaboos. IMO.
To a woman who are giving a helping hand in Japanese--->English translation thread.
Hey, you said you have been studying Japanese for 10 year. Have you been teaching yourself all the way? Do you consider yourself a weeaboo? Did you come from 4chan? You are a regular here in "chat in English thread?" Who's your favorate Japanese male actor? Have you gone out with a Japanese guy? Would you show me your boob?
>>728 Yo. Long story short, I had a private tutor for the first five years. Then I graduated high school and moved to another city, so since then I've been studying on my own. Hehe, I don't consider myself a weeaboo. I didn't come from 4chan, although I go there, too. I post in this thread rarely because the topic of conversation usually doesn't interest me. I don't have a favorite Japanese male actor, I don't know any of them. I've never gone out with a Japanese guy. I'd like to, though. It'd be nice to have someone to practice my Japanese with. And nope, no tits for you.
>>735 I don't want to be rude to other people who want to talk in this thread, but I'll answer anything you want. I've been lurking on 2ch for over a year now. Don't remember exactly how long.
>>729 Not many people are in good circumstances in which private Japanese lessons are given. Five years to boot. I wonder what interested you so much to the extent you took private Japanese lessons. If you didn't come from 4chan then how did you come here? You have a good command of Japanese so you can browse 2channel and somehow arrived at English board?
I don't know many female Japanese learners who understand Japanese as well as you do so, I want you to stay in 2ch's English board. If you don't want to use Handle name then, that's OK. You don't want to show your personal blogs or myspace, youtube or other stuff to keep in touch with anonymous 2channelers?
I know it's unfair if you show your info and we keep staying anonymous though.
>>736 I guess lots of Japanese live in Cali. Do you have any Japanese friends to hang around with on daily basis? You somwhow sound like a party animal, by the way.
>>736 So you're not really 'new' here. That explains alot, cos you handle things here just like a 2channeler. Enjoy your stay here on the English board anyways.
>>738 Eh, trust me, I'm not rich. I spent 2 hours with my tutor once every 2 weeks, because that's all we could afford. The very very original reason I got into Japan was Sailor Moon orz They used to show it dubbed in English on TV when I was in middle school, and I really liked it. I first found out about 2ch from watching the Densha Otoko drama. And yeah, my reading comprehension is (usually) good, but as I think you saw in that other thread, I fuck up sometimes. T_T But I'm always learning.
To be honest, I don't keep any blogs, and I don't have a myspace/facebook/anything like that. I don't like social networking sites, I think they're stupid and a waste of time. I wouldn't mind posting an email address, though, if someone wanted it for some reason.
>>739 Yeah... Sorry. I could tell you I honestly don't want to be an attention whore, but here I am answering their questions, so.
>>740 I think we have a decent number of Japanese people here, but I actually don't know any. I go to a very small university (only ~850 undergrads), and I could probably count the number of Japanese students on my fingers. And I'm just the opposite actually. I hate parties, and I don't drink or do any drugs. I like to read books and hang out with small groups of friends^^
>>743 I'm graduating university in June, and starting work in September. I won't be using my Japanese for that job (I'll be working as a programmer, I studied computer science), but eventually in a few years I'd like to try and get a job in Japan, and live there for a little while... Who knows what'll happen.
>>745 I think I might've met you here before, if you joined the weeaboo chat that we had a while ago. The girl had the most manly yet insightful opinion on the issue. lol
>>745 And other than J---->E ttranslation thread, where can I see you? Someone said in J-->E thread that you are busy with posting many threads or something.
>>745 Wow. You must be a newbie hacker here! Make malwares for me! You already thought what I wanna say. Very smart. I like you. :D
And I agreed this. >I don't like social networking sites, I think they're stupid and a waste of time. But web PGs need to join in facebook at least, I guess. XD
>>749 How couold you identify one specific person with her? I admire you. I think I read that dicussion but posts are too many to read and I couldn't understand who is who in the commotion of the discussion.
>>752 Haha! Oh God, I would kill myself if I were like one of them. And I was only participating in one other thread. I'll leave it a mystery.
>>753 Ha, you're one of the few people who agree with me. I'm literally the only person I know who doesn't have one of the damn things (social network accounts).
>>756 Yeah. T_T American economy is in the fucking toilet. But whatever. This summer is my last summer vacation, and I'm going to Japan for a month with my best friend. I'll be working when I get back, so a little bit of debt won't hurt. XD
>>764 Why would I? I know all of my friends in real life. I see them every day, talk to them in person and on the phone. You know, a normal social life, like we all had before SNSs came around. Most of my friends say the same thing: they think their facebook/myspace is a pain in the ass, but they do it because everyone else has one. That's just not a good enough reason for me... ^^
>>766 But there is something that attarct people to those SNSs. If you get a job realted to programming then getting to know these sites isn't crucial is it?
>>770 You said you didn't mind to exchange the mail address?
I want chat friends seriously to improve my English skills. (Not for any qualifications but for communication.) So if you please, would you like to be one of them for me?
Christ guys, I can't keep up with all these questions. XD
>>774 Nope, not at all. In fact, Facebook was interviewing me for a job and I don't even have a Facebook! (Which I'm sure they realized.)
>>775 No. Even if I wanted one, it's my policy to not have sex with someone until we've both been tested for STDs. I think it shows respect for your partner to do that. Obviously this means I won't have casual sex.
>>776 Sure. I can't guarantee we'll find each other interesting, but we can give it a shot. I made a garbage email address: [email protected] Email me there, and I'll email you back with my real email address.
>>777 Actually I love English, and languages in general. Right now I wish I had just gone with my heart and majored in English. But too late for that now^^ I really do enjoy CS, too, though. I like programming, so it's not so bad. I guess the biggest benefit I get from the Internet is the ability to immediately look up information on anything I want, and to talk with people around the world. It's pretty amazing when you think about it. When I grew up the Internet was still in its infancy, so I remember what it was like not to have it around.
>>780 I don't think they are garbage, and I don't empathize with them either. Everyone's different. Everyone's gone through different problems in their life, and everyone deals with their pain and unhappiness in different ways. I may not agree with how someone chooses to live their life, but I try not to pass judgment on them for it (unless they're deliberately hurting other people). Ultimately it's their life, and their decision. Who am I to say anything?
>>781 Yes! I interviewed at Google. I got to their second-round interviews, but I didn't make it. T_T I have a lot of respect for Google, Youtube, etc. The guys there are amazing people that have literally changed the world. I can't hope to do anything that huge, but I hope my work will benefit a smaller number of people^^
>>782 Eh, like I said, I try not to judge people. If doing that makes them happy, then whatever. Honestly I can't help thinking both the men and women involved in that are fucking stupid, but hey, it's their lives. And I see >>648 has never been to 4chan's /b/. Women there post their nudes all the time. (So do men. XD)
>>785 Well, 4ch is different from 4chan. 4chan is at 4chan.org. /b/ is the Random board. But it's not friendly to newcomers or people who aren't native speakers of English. Like 2ch, people on 4chan use a lot of very special slang. But if you're just there for the pictures of naked ladies, there's lots of those.
How on earth did you get to have an interview with facebook when you don't even have an account. In what round did you have to move on to get a job in Google.
>>790 Well, I guess it means they don't care if their candidates actually use their product or not.
Google's interview is usually in two rounds. First it's a phone screen, then if they like you enough, they invite you to their main office in Mountain View to interview with their engineers. Then they make their decision to hire you or not.
I sure found some nude photos there but seems like almost all of them are those of picked up on the net not thier own nude except one. Is it really common female posters themselves show thier own nude there?
>>793 Yup. They're called camwhores, women on the forums that take pictures of themselves with their webcam and post them. They usually write something like "sup /b/" and the day's date on their breasts or hand or something, to prove it's actually them.
>>791 Facebook approaced you or you approaced them to get an interview test?
I heard Gooogle get 5000 resume a day from all around the world. Are there job slots there set aside for students who are going to graduate university or graduate school other than picking up candidates from those resumes?
>>794 Wow. Sounds nice. Are they all interested in things Japanese? I mean, those camwhores and 4 channelers are all interested in Japan? Is /b/ the most dangeropus place among 4 channel?
>>795 Well, the way it works at my school is twice a year we have a career fair. This is when lots of companies come to the school and set up booths, and the students can walk around, talk to different people, and drop off their resumes at the companies they're interested in. So I gave Facebook my resume at a career fair, and they liked it and emailed me later asking to set up an interview.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your second question... They hire both undergraduate and graduate students, and I imagine they have some loose number of slots for each category. Also they don't just pick candidates from the resumes they receive, I hear they actively go after people they're interested in, even if that person didn't ever submit their resume.
>>796 Nope. /b/ has nothing to do with Japanese stuff. There are boards specifically for anime and Japanese culture, but /b/ is the general discussion board. As for "dangerous", yeah you could say so. Some very graphic, potentially disturbing images are often posted there. People make racist jokes about just about every ethnicity there is, and /b/tards (that's what we call people who post on /b/) in general have no sympathy for anyone. It's not a place for sensitive or easily offended people.
>>766 The point of Facebook, at least, is not talking to your everyday friends, it's _staying in touch_. If you talk to someone every day, you're not going to use some site just to say "wanna come over?".
But when they move to another town and don't call you for a month, that's when it starts being useful.
One of my college friends got in touch with me a few days ago -- we haven't talked for over a year. Apparently, he lives in Estonia now. That's the sort of thing it is useful for.
Plus birthday reminders and pictures of people being drunk.
>>797 Thanks what I meant was that other than prospective seniors of college and graduate students, googles get 5000 resume of people who have already gotten into workforcfe and working somewhere now.
So my questions were if there are different job slots for students fresh from university and people who have already working somewhere but want to get a job in Google.
>>798 That's the problem though. Everyone I know uses it to interact mostly with people they *do* see every day. I hear it's useful to set up parties and invite everyone through Facebook. Personally I find sites like Facebook a kind of "cheap" way of keeping in touch. It requires little effort, and (from the examples I've seen from the people around me) the interaction tends to be pretty shallow. But you raise a good point, those kinds of sites are a great way to find someone you've lost contact with.
>>801 Ahhh. Hm, honestly I don't know that much about how Google allots their job slots, but they probably have some specifically for new graduates and others for people with work experience.
>>805 Fair enough. I guess I just don't have any examples around me of anything meaningful coming out of those kinds of sites. Maybe because I'm surrounded by college kids and we don't do much of anything meaningful one way or another.
I haven't sat down and planned the trip yet. I've been to a lot of places already, but there's so many more I want to go to. I want to travel around Hokkaido, and go island-hopping in Okinawa. I want to walk the road between Tsumago and Magome. I thought I wanted to go to Yakushima, but I read online that there are a lot of leeches there... T_T
I don't read that much manga, but I like Naruto, One Piece, Planetes, King of Bandit Jing, some other ones... I'm not familiar with the Japanese novel "scene" (what kind of genres are popular, etc.), but I'd like to get into it.
As for Steve Jobs, he's a fucking smart guy. What else can I say?^^ He knows how to make money.
>>820 I see . Hey , Katachyan ! ! Try to say honestry ! You should like Bisyounen . I have seen that you put your hand into the shorts of Bisyounen in the library. Do you like Yoko Osita ?
I'm tired of studying. Since last month, I've been studying English hard; about five hours a day. Five hours of study is quite a hard work, so I often feel overwhelmed and deprived. Though my English ability has been improving gradually, it seems it's not enough to keep me motivated. How do you think I can feel less stressed?
>>826 Since your English is pretty good, it might be worth taking a break and not working at it so hard. Might be worth just watching something in English, or reading a book.
