Punchlines aplenty:

... Much like Hillary Clinton.

... Much like the Democratic party.

Etc.

Each container sk8s right off the deck.

And worse!

They'll have new holes with no teeth. Maybe they can call it doing the Hisoka because it has the properties of both rubber and gum.

My experience with UM et al is cavity inducing sweetness of tone while spouting racist BS.

I don't think that's how I would put it, the not Japanese enough, nor put self harm in a positive light...

Anyway, examples:

High stakes testing throughout schooling. A lot of your path is decided before you can reasonably be expected to be responsible for it. The first minute of this is a bit more poetic about it https://youtu.be/P07rqHQ35hU

Work culture. There's a word in Japanese that means death from overwork. Bosses can be really shitty. Leaving a job is a big deal. (This could be too much for a kid because this shitty life is what they're working so hard toward)

Bullying and conformity. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Individual expression is becoming easier, but it's still pretty difficult, especially at school and work.

Loneliness. There's a concept of the true self vs the public self. It's more difficult to connect when you're always masking.

It's not the start menu or the control panel I'm talking about, but things like being in bed with the IDF post October 2023.

I didn't mean to set up a comparison or minimize anything, so I apologize. Notch is a total piece of shit. Companies that enable systems of oppression are shitty and I don't want to see them enable your oppressors once the price is right.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

I'm not sure Microsoft is any better when it comes to your Minecraft dollars...

I think it's time to stop expecting them to make sense or try to hold them to that standard. They don't care.
