I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

Ok I know many foreign names in manga/anime do sound this dumb out of cluelessness and it's funny to point and laugh, but in the case of Death Note in particular, this was not a "haha japanese man doesn't know american names" thing. The weird names were a deliberate choice.

I don't have my copy with me right now to directly quote the passage, but on the Death Note vol. 13 tankoubon—which consists of extras and behind-the-scenes content—, the author says that all the names in the series (including the japanese ones) were chosen to not be similar to real names, to avoid creating awkwardness/fear/superstition due to someone's real name being in the fictional Death Note.

For the japanese names, this was achieved by using names that sound like normal japanese names, but are written with unusual kanji (such as the surname Ide being spelled 伊出 rather than 井手, or Takahashi spelled 鷹橋 rather than 高橋). Light's whole name, Yagami Light spelled 夜神月, is very unique and unusual, to avoid creating unwanted association between him and any real person.

Since names in english don't have kanji, the author just invented names that sound vaguely american/british but are not real names in those countries.

"Why did Katara choose Aang over Zuko??"

Y'all Zuko wasn't even a player.

Babygirl, Zuko was a player

He was playing for the other team.

do you all remember in the early 2010s where people were talking about freeing the nipple and that mixed-gender sports should become a thing and the removal of period tax and all of that and then some people realised that would mean trans people too ans they instantly decided to revert to bioessentialism 101 and now i have to see grating sentences like Well maybe jeopardy should be gender-segregated because males have a biological advantage in pressing a button

TWO HOURS AGO: israeli tanks are headed towards rafah, they are moving forward with their ground assault. as we all watch the solidarity encampments across the us, REMEMBER WHAT THOSE STUDENTS ARE FIGHTING FOR! DO NOT LOOK AWAY FROM PALESTINE!!

[Image Description: A tweet from Deep Barot (@/deepbarot) that reads: "Israeli armored vehicles and tanks begin movement towards Rafah for ground assault. As Netanyahu confirmed, the ground invasion of Rafah will move forward as planned regardless of US opinion. Not to mention the fresh US aid package given to resupply Israel. War is now 24/7 🙃." Attached below is a video of the aforementioned tanks driving away from the camera. /End ID]
