QUESTION DISREGARDING ALL MENTAL CONCERNS OF A STORY AND INSTEAD TALKS ABOUT THE PHYSICAL ABILITIES OF A HUMAN PERFORMING A DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE TASK FOR A HUMAN DISCUSSING IT STRICTLY FROM THE ENGINEERING VIEW POINT
I discovered I like onigiri. Well, sushi in general, but specifically onigiri.
With that I noticed a strange conundrum: maki of any kind, the seaweed there is soft. Definitely supposed to be eaten with everything served. Onigiri, however, the seaweed there, regardless of size of the onigiri, the seaweed there acts more like a wrapping. A very very brittle wrapping that feels and tastes more like plastic.
With maki the seaweed tastes... I'm honestly not sure of what. Green. Kinda grassy. Kinda like salad. About half a gram of salad, disregarding what's in the maki.
Am I supposed to eat the onigiri's seaweed?
I admit I did precisely once... Technically one bite as discovered the difference between the tastes, and spent half a second unwrapping it further...
I'm not enough of a weeb to torture myself with the onigiri seaweed, I am curious though.
There are a lot of dreams about being hunted. Possibly for fun, and usually by powerful beings. Anything by physically powerful - some monsters or whatever to politically powerful - various actual politicians, or their friends. Either of them hunting for fun.
In my case it was being hunted for "practical" reasons - not letting me wake up.
It was in a fake forest - in some park which was made into a dense forest artificially. There's some huge park in the USA the size of a neighborhood or two called central park or whatever. I mean that kind of thing.
That kind of thing.
Except converted into a forest. Man made forest.
I didn't see what my hunters looked like and what they were - whether they were normal people or if they were some politicians.
What was important, though, was that these hunters were not armed with basic hunting rifles. I don't know what they were harmed with, but it was human hunting equipment.
If I were to be hit with one of these bullets I would not be able to wake up.
I wouldn't be hurt in the traditional sense, but I wouldn't be able to leave the dream's universe.
Normally that wouldn't be much of a problem, I'd have to learn how to get a job in that universe, survive there, whatever.
There is a problem in the world I live in right now since I am, essentially, in a prison. A gentle prison, the opposite of a supermax prison - if I want to go somewhere, I can with no problem, the problem is that I have to have a "nurse"/"assistant" (both don't exactly fit these words) accompanying me because I'm disabled.
Frankly, I'd be glad to be stuck there, but then came three ideas that made that concept unpleasant:
I'm trapped in a... Well, if there's "supermax prison", this would be "supermin prison".
Quite bad still due to reasons I don't think I can properly name ANYWHERE, and I can leave (to a certain point) whenever I want. It has to be supervised, though, and the nurses here DEFINITELY hate my guts for my daily morning walks.
"Morning" when the sun just barely begins to wake up.
After about 8am it turns hot as hell well into the evening, so I can't go on NIGHT walks.
Last week there was an "inspection". Not by any official place, no, they have their own "government" they answer to. If this place doesn't pass this "inspection", the whole place folds and I turn homeless.
Many people too, tbf, but I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER HERE, DAMMIT!
So obviously brought out all the nice things out: nice table covers, nice bedding, got some new soap dispensers in the bathroom to replace the shitty ones.
Among the things, they updated the tea/coffee place and brought the substance pictured above.
Now, I'm more of a tea guy myself. It's apparently a coffee substance, but it goes well on tea too.
The taste is kinda chocolatey... I think... I'm not sure what I'm tasting, but I like it.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's thrown on lattes to make this "latte art", these drawings on them.
SOME FUCKER TOOK LIKE HALF A CONTAINER FOR ONE GLASS OF COFFEE, TOOK ONE SIP, AND IMMEDIATELY THREW IT AWAY SAYING HE DOESN'T LIKE THE TASTE!
And the most important part, the reason I'm here, there are no any labels on the container, and the nurses don't know how it's called.
Now, I like whatever this is and want to buy a container for myself, a private container in case the aforementioned bastard tries to make a cup of "coffee" with it again and empties the last of the container.
Can anybody help?
It's one thing to crap on your competition as a joke like Pepsi and Coke did some years back.
It was a joke between the two and it was acknowledged as a joke.
It happens sometimes, however it starts with an "invitation to a duel" kind of thing. A "sign war" between BK and MD that is often mentioned in meme articles.
This, however, to my understanding legitimately states "these are my competitors, and while you can do ahem naughty things with them to a varying level, but all of them are shit! Use our product!"
Again, I could be completely wrong, but aside from definite truces or maybe a strange corporate alliance "hey, how's about we mock each other for a bit to increase PR", that sort of thing is frowned upon. You don't see "BMW! Because Mercedes is just shit!" types of ads when it comes to cars.
I forgot her name.
The girl you facetime.
Basically, I need to lower her level.
She starts with "konbanwa. Genkidesuka?" and that's fine, that bit is fine. Then she asks a question, which I answer.
The problem begins AFTER that bit: she starts talking. I understand MAYBE 10% of what she says. She ends it with ka, which so far has been the undeniable question mark.
ZEE ZEKONT PRABLEMMMM: When I call her (in the training area) in general it's... Acceptable... Vaguely... There's about 25% that I don't understand, but can roughly guess by collecting context of what I do understand. When it's in lessons, though, about 75% is roughly like speaking to a native speaker which is good. I DON'T UNDERSTAND 75% THE WORDS AT ALL, WHICH IS BAD!
Can I lower the level of how she talks in the actual lessons? If I can, how?
