You know what? Fuck you for making me read this schizoid crap, you get double gangstalkers from now on.
Language has evolved beyond the need for descriptivist evolution, universal literacy and global instantaneous communication networks require standardization, and eventually, a constructed universal language. Those trying to hold on to preindustrial modes of cultural development will only be left behind by the sands of time. That's why we already did all of that to weights and measures.
I give books, but for flavor, I give actively harmful books. Healthy people get pseudoscientific books on Chronic Lyme Disease or The Obesity Code, and mentally ill people get books about gangstalking, books promoting Esoteric Nazism, and a recommendation to check out r/SaturnStormCube on reddit.
I actually agree that 18th century values are still applicable today, such as how Mike Johnson should be tarred and feathered.
Not to be confused with Dark Garth Brooks, Chris Gaines.
Good. People have a fundamental light to housing, and a fundamental right to not be shoved into a tiny rat warren.
Yes, and ADHD has nothing to do with my answer. Don't work in food service unless you're a proper lunatic and have an incredibly high tolerance for being constantly shit on by people who wouldn't slow down if they ran you over.
Massively enhanced by being one of the few Junji Ito stories to have an actual ending instead of just awkwardly falling apart.

People are scared of the word "degeneration" for some reason
Suppose I cook you lobster ravioli as served at a Michelin-star restaurant. The filling is a perfect blend of lobster, salmon, egg white, basil, lemon zest, and seasoning. The poaching stock is expertly crafted from roasted lobster shell, carrots, celery, onions, tomato, and lemongrass, then deglazed with brandy, reduced, and strained till it's perfect. Consider further that the pasta was made fresh by hand, and expertly stuffed, and served with lemon vinaigrette and tomato chutney, all prepared by an expert hand with fresh ingredients. It's a perfect dish, one that has so many great things going on. It's a balanced symphony of unique flavors interplaying perfectly.
Oh, except I used cheap, nasty, frozen lobster and it's still raw. Oops. Are you still going to eat your ravioli anyway? No. It doesn't matter how many great things are very much still actually happening, there's no point in eating it now. It's ruined. All of it.
Bad writing is the raw shellfish of media. It doesn't matter how good everything else about the show is, because if it's written badly, everything is ruined. It's the one thing that can't be forgiven and taints everything it touches at the source. Good intentions don't make up for raw shellfish.
