Bro, let’s stop pretending.

Muslims make up about 25% of the entire world’s population — over 2 billion people across 50+ countries.

Japanese people? About 1.4% of the world. One single country.

Shinto exists only in Japan.

So when people say “Japan should prioritize minorities and be more accommodating to Islam,” who exactly are we talking about?

The global majority is coming to one of the world’s smallest ethnic and religious groups and demanding that Japan change its culture, food, and traditions for them.

That’s not “protecting minorities.” That’s the majority trying to colonize a tiny minority.

Japan has every right to protect its own people and culture first.

If Muslims want to live under Islamic rules, they already have dozens of countries where they can do that. They don’t need to come to Japan and turn it into another one.

Love in Spanish is much clearer than the love I grew up with.

Two months into dating my partner, I heard "te quiero." To my gringa ears, that meant "I love you," and it felt too soon for words so heavy. I smiled and didn’t say much back.

What I didn’t understand was that it wasn't too soon at all. It was the right word for the moment, a clear sign that feelings were developing.

I was the one without the vocabulary.

When "te amo" came around, months later, I had learned the difference. I said it first, knowing exactly what it meant.

In English, we hand someone a word and ask them to figure out the weight. Spanish gives you the vocabulary to express it all, at every stage.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

I often talk about why ruling knowledge is important at the highest level of Yu-Gi-Oh competition, and that was put on display perfectly in Game 2 of the finals at YCS Colombus yesterday. Allow me to explain.

In the pictured gamestate, Jesse Kotton is trying to find a way to attack for game. Lucas is out of interaction, Jesse's mirrorjade has not yet activated and both his Fallen of the White Dragon & Aluber have 0 ATK. Jesse's Fallen of the White Dragon has also been affected by Forbidden Crown.

We know Jesse plays Alba-Lenatus the Abyss Dragon, a fusion monster that can be Special Summoned by sending 1 Fallen of Albaz + 1 or more Dragon(s) from either field to the Graveyard.

So this is where the ruling comes into play: Here, Jesse's Fallen of the White Dragon is affected by Forbidden Crown which makes it so Fallen "Cannot be used as material for a Fusion [...] Summon." but Alba-Lenatus is not a Fusion Summon, it is a Special Summon by sending the monsters listed in its text from either field to the Graveyard. In this position, Jesse COULD have sent his own Fallen as well as Lucas' Fallen to the Graveyard in order to summon Alba-Lenatus, used his Mirrorjade to banish Lucas' Ecclesia and attack for game, but seemingly due to not knowing the ruling Jesse ultimately didn't find a line to attack for game and lost this duel.

While Jesse does ultimately take game 3 to win the set, I cannot stress enough how much knowledge of intricate rulings and interactions can help even the greatest of players in this game. A lot of people have this belief that knowing rulings isn't really important because judges are there to correct mistakes but judges won't tell you that you can make a play you assume you can't make.

I implore anyone that wants to get better at Yu-Gi-Oh to take the time and learn the intricate rules of the game, I promise it will only benefit you!

GGs to Jesse for winning and GGs to Sacco for an amazing tournament performance. If y'all have any questions about this ruling or want to understand further feel free to ask away in the comments, I'd be more than happy to clarify.

In this scene from the 2016 movie Arrival, Louise learns that the non-human species perceives time non-linearly as a simultaneous "now" rather than a linear sequence of cause and effect.

Contact with an intelligent non-human species that perceives time non-linearly would force humanity to rethink our assumptions about how time and space actually work.

Physicists are already finding that the fundamental laws of quantum physics do not distinguish between past and future, suggesting that the forward flow of time we experience may not actually be a fundamental property of reality...

every improvement in measurement finds worse news. thats not uncertainty. thats the answer
