That's how they took a gay actor, and made him act as a gangster rapper, in order to influence the black community into become more violent.
And it worked 😓

４歳の頃、祖父が死んだ。
葬式に出て出官の時に「これからどこにいくの？」と訊ねた私に
「おじいちゃんを焼きに行くんだよ」と父。
何の事だかさっぱりわからず寝てしまい、気が付くと家に。

しばらくして「ご飯よ～」と母。
で、その時のメニューが豚の生姜焼き。
急に感極まった父が泣きながら食っているので、
その肉を間違いなくおじいちゃんだと思って食べはじめた私。

祖父が大好きだったので、
私も泣きながら「おじいちゃんおいしいね」と言うと
父はさらに激しく泣き始めて、
母が「おじいちゃんみえるの？」と私に聞くので、
目の前にある肉が祖父だと確信している私は
「おじいちゃん目の前にあるよ」と答えると
両親は二人で泣き出し、私も泣き出し、
どうしようもないお馬鹿家族状態に。
（豚の生姜焼きは祖父の大好物だったのを知るのは１０何年後）

それから肉が我が家の食卓に上がると
私は決まって「だれ？これだ～れ？」と聞いたそうだ。
そのたび母は「だれじゃないでしょう・・・な～にと聞きなさい」と小言。

本当に恥ずかしい話だが、小学４年位まで肉は全て人肉だと思っていた。
なぜか給食の肉？（南蛮鯨）はベトナム戦争の犠牲者だと思っていた。
だから手を合わせていただきますと言うのだと思っていた。

War has been slowly losing all its machoness and glory since the invention of dishonorable projectile weapons, now in the drone era its just a bugman video game x industrial complex ordeal

Embrace world peace, not because we are enlightened, but because war has become too gay

The curse of discipline is that every day looks the same. The curse of indiscipline is that every year does.

10 things most people don't know, that engineers think about constantly:

1. CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION
Two things happening together does not mean one causes the other.
Engineers test this. Most decisions aren't made by people who do.

2. SYSTEMS FAIL AT INTERFACES
The individual components usually work fine.
It's where they connect that disasters happen.

3. MORE SAFETY FEATURES CAN MAKE THINGS LESS SAFE
Adding redundant systems increases complexity.
Complexity increases the number of ways things can go wrong.
This is called the safety paradox, and it's why nuclear plant design is not simply "add more backups."

4. THE ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE IS NOT EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE
Something hasn't failed yet.
That doesn't mean it's safe.
It may mean you haven't run it long enough.

5. TOLERANCE STACKING
Each component has a tolerance: ±0.1mm.
Put 20 components together, each at the worst end of their tolerance, and you have a 2mm error.
Many products fail not because any part is bad, but because all the parts are slightly wrong in the same direction.

6. THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY
Every engineering model is wrong.
Some models are useful.
The model that causes disasters is the one someone believed was exact.

7. FEEDBACK LOOPS CHANGE SYSTEMS
Adding a monitoring system changes the behaviour of the system being monitored.
Adding safety incentives changes what engineers report.
Measuring performance changes what people optimise for.

8. ENTROPY IS ALWAYS WINNING
Everything degrades over time.
Maintenance is not optional, it's the only reason anything works.
Every structure, machine, and system is a continuous battle against the second law of thermodynamics.

9. THE HUMAN IN THE LOOP IS BOTH THE STRONGEST AND WEAKEST COMPONENT
Human adaptability is extraordinary, humans solve problems no designer anticipated.
Human error is the root cause of most major failures.
Designing for humans means accounting for both.

10. FIRST-PRINCIPLES THINKING IS RARE
Most decisions are made by analogy: "we did it this way before."
The engineers who change things ask: what does physics actually require here?
The answer is almost always different from what tradition suggests.

Why are they called 'eggplants'?

Because they used to look like this.

Accuracy: how close a measurement is to the true value.
Precision: how repeatable a measurement is, regardless of whether it's correct.

A scale that consistently reads 2 kg heavy is precise but not accurate.
A scale that reads the right weight on average but varies wildly is accurate but not precise.

You need both. They are not the same thing.
