When I was younger, I lived in an apartment where the afternoon sun often hit, so I once left a Kaiyodo model (made from stone powder clay) by the window to dry, then went to see a movie and got caught in the rain, causing the model to become all sloppy 😅 https://t.co/zgREUrszaz

'The Ice Age Generation was so unfortunate, why didn't they stand up like the student movement?' is a liberal insult. The student movement itself was nothing more than a 'play-act revolution carried out by a bunch of rich kids living off their parents that ended up failing', so the only people who glorify it are the people involved and their successors.

'People don't remember the clothes of people they only see once a year! That's because I am!' I had this strong conviction and went out to eat with a friend wearing the same outfit every year, and when she smiled and said 'You really like that outfit,' my soul exploded and the pieces flew into the air with force, blooming into a giant flower in the night sky.

When dealing with meat, 'what the animal grew up eating' is extremely important and a good selling point, but when it comes to wild game, it's a bit of a problem because it can't be used to advertise it at all.

The annoying thing about roads where traffic lights are intentionally made poorly connected to prevent people from speeding is that when there's someone at the front of the road who doesn't accelerate at all because 'I know I won't make it,' the people behind him get stuck at the traffic lights, and it feels like that's what causes the traffic jams. This is the opinion of someone who lives near Route 16.
