Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

It's weird how mundane and boring Mighty is in comparison to Ray who's probably the most fun to play in Mania Plus

"There is another..."



Wait, this is the Unpopular Opinions and Friendly Rant thread, not the Out-of-Context Images thread, I have to meet the quota. Well, my unpopular opinion/friendly rant is that numerology is largely a waste of time outside of comedy. Though super-schizos can be onto something when being more about, say, applying Jungian archetypes or magick energy theories as ways of grasping sociology -- i.e. are certain drives/needs being fulfilled or misdirected? -- than when about goofy easter-egg hunts.

Idk if this is gonna be hot or cold take, but I never really get that Japan glaze, even before I found out about it's history and major problems. Like, even if it have some gimmicky futuristic technology and "good culture" (which is extremely subjective), it's not nearly enough to make your life good by default. It's complicated language, educational system and work ethics alone would turn my life into pure torture and living hell, to the point I'll commit suicide after barely passing it's elementary school. I don't see any reason someone would willingly want to move here, if they don't have infinite stamina and want to do nothing, but work relentlessly

A lot of the bad sides of it are changing right now and there's also another factor - you underestimate how far basic order goes. Japan is very orderly, any delay or lack of coordination requires an apology from the service provider. In Japan you'd expect to read the label and to be given exactly what's on the label. You go to a restaurant and you usually get proper hygine from the cooks. What is orderly in Japan often times is an issue outside of it. Now, the con is, of course, that you're also expected to upkeep that same order, and yet I doubt it'd be too much of a strain.
People who moved to Japan and actually came prepared are living happily there for the most part. There's issues everywhere in the world but Japan's issues are more complicated and yet less draining on a constant basis.

I'm aware about how far basic order goes, and ironically enough - it would be one of the main factors that would make this place uninhabitable for me. To put it short "perfect thing done by AppleMaker/disciplined AppleMaker" are literally oxymoron, and always have been. I have so many flaws and was unable to do anything perfectly, so I just had to give up on any of my ambitions to just delay inevitable death and mental downfall. I barely survived educational system in my country, despite it being far easier and less strict than Japan's (however it still might be a but harder than America's, but idk). And my flawed nature was far worse in the childhood, since now I at least could be seen as "normal" or even "competent" sometimes in some fields, but back when I was a kid - not even close. Everything was done with shitload of mistakes, I couldn't make anything without making some flaws and mistakes here and there, even slightest difficulty, inconvenience or challenge could make me suffer horrendously and severely affected the way I am right now (my mental health is absolutely non-existent and lowkey I might add "supernatural willpower" only because I haven't killed myself for so long after any insignificant mistake/inconvenience, that were enhanced by my terrible luck at the time). So basically - even if Japan's problems are getting fixed right now, I'm still unable to adjust to it's standards and work ethics
 
Oh, I also forgot to mention how horrendous my stamina was for more than a half of my life, to the point I couldn't keep up with anyone else and was so easily overwhelmed/exhausted from literally anything

Well, to each their own. I myself am not sure how I would fare in Japan, maybe it WOULD drive me insane. Being real here, I lived in Lat. America/Carribean area when I was a kid and honestly I think I left my heart there, I may never be able to fully settle down or calm down until I go back there, it just felt right to be there. I've spend a solid 40% of my life in 3rd world countries (about half if we don't count the years I was a barely concious toddler) and the chaotic nature of them is something that is familiar to me, and yet I would appreciate certainty, just basic certainty that the documents will be made properly, that the food I ate at a restaurant will be safe, that the products I brought home are clean and I don't need to wipe them before putting them in the fridge. That certainty is what makes Japan so appealing to me. I know that if I go there I'll be getting what I am offered unless I go to like some shady place.
I understand that you struggled with the system and I can also understand why you wouldn't want to be in this metaphorical cage, but if for one person Japan would be a cage, to another it is "finally someone built a road through here".
It's a question of certainty and uncertainty, and whilst I enjoy chaos, some order is definitely needed in life, and it's something that we desperately lack nowadays.

Hope everything goes well in your life. Personally I strife to move to a country with somewhat lenient work ethics and that respects human rights
 
While I do believe and agree with the common take that it'd suck to live forever, I'd say it'd still be worth it as a society to pursue immortality as long as we give everyone the option for voluntary euthanasia, as then it gives people more freedom to pursue their dreams and aspirations while still respecting their decision on when and how they want to die.

I'd rather not have a clan of immortal world elites lmfao. If you think the world's most wealthy and influential families are bad now, just wait until they get the immortality DLC 😂

To be honest I'm now thinking about which types of immortality would be the best for humanity, but personally I want just to settle for Mid - High-mid regen

Little fun fact: I have pretty bad hemophobia (that's the fear of blood). I'd prefer not to get injured at all... I guess it's better than dying... it depends on how long it takes to regenerate

The thing I like the most about this levels of regen - it most likely gonna prevent a lot of things like organ failures, brain traumas, gastritis, internal bleedings, cancer, dementia, Alzheimer's and etc

If that's the case you probably just... wouldn't die from old age, right? I don't want that to happen and it'd have to be a pretty painful death to kill you with Mid Regen

Ok, I think we might need restrictions to prevent literal immortal tyrants from eternally running the world from the shadows (like, politicians and billionaires should only get 100 years max), but you see the general idea, right?
