Como dice el titulo, solo un desahogo personal, pero creo que esta vinculando con las razones por las cuales deberemos defender nuestra identidad como dominicanos.
Viviendo en EEUU y rodeado de esta cultura causa que aveces, como si fuera por osmosis se me crucen ideas y nociones que son alienigas a las cosas que me han enseñado, y que he visto con mis propios ojos.
Por ejemplo, los “wokeisms” que son prevalentes en este pais. Que no existen culturas buenas y malas solo distinctas, que todas las creencias tienen la misma validez, que todo depende de perspectiva, et cetera.
Un estadounidense quizas no entienda porque un dominicano no quisiera ser vinculado con otros grupos que ellos nos quisieran asignar, porque para ellos todos nosotros los “negros” somos la misma cosa.
Pero hoy vi algo en las noticias que en verdad me impacto fuertemente. Un extranjero, viviendo en RD, llevando a cabo un ritual de su religion, prendio un chivo en fuego mientra estaba vivo. Ese era el sacrificio que le pedian sus dioses.
Asi como si nada, le echa gasolina al pobre animal por la espalda, y le echa un fosforo encima. El pobre animal, atado, empieza a lanzar los gritos mas miserables que yo he escuchado en mi vida. Le cuesta mucho tiempo, y mucho sufrimiento para morir. Aun no puedo sacarme eso de la cabeza.
Entonces diganme ustedes, esa es la gran cultura que yo tengo que abrazar para poder ser una buena persona? Esa la gran cultura que yo tengo que promover para descolonizarme y aceptar mis raices? Para que tu, gringo, o wokeminicano, o quien sea, me digan "bien hecho"?
Se pueden ir a la misma mierda. Yo soy Dominicano, orgulloso de mi cultura, de mi lenguage, de la biblia que esta en mi bandera y lo que dice en esa pagina "la verdad os hara libre."
Osea vamos a decirle bueno a lo bueno y malo a lo malo. Dejemos este chantaje post-moderno antes de que nos consuma.

Large chance if you are here you are addicted to sex. You are a sex/porn addict. .
Most guys who I assume aren't sex addicts but pigs brag about their solo adult entertainment they ingage in.
All the women in my betray truma from porn addicted husbands groups always talk about how hard it is to get our husband's to talk about their acting out. They tell no one.
Why does the addict carry so much shame when non addicted men seem to think it's cool?
I'm hanging with my ex tonight because I'm sorta stuck right now and his place was a place for me to chill for awhile and he makes a point that he hasn't done anything is a very long time when I just caught him 3 weeks ago?
Bikini swim suit youtube video. I said show me your subscription list and he freaked out. Trying to make me believe he's not acting out when he clearly is. He knows were not getting back together.. Why does he have to keep lying to me? I don't care any more what he's doing. Hes always pushing how hes not doing anything any more. For 2 years since we broke up every time we are around any more he makes a point to tell me hes not doing anything any more and then i find out he is. He knows i know he hasnt stopped acting out. Hes 72 years old and he cant make it longer than a week. His lies are worse then his acting out. Why not just say I can't quit and accept that we're just over?
There's no way we are getting back together because he can't quit and there's no way he's going to be able to hide it from me again.
Password protecting his subscription list is the stupidest thing he could have done. Like that's not obvious. It's things like that that just makes it worse. It's better if he would just say he can't stop. At least with that there truth.
He lost me anyway his lies and hiding what he's doing only makes it so much worse. At least if he was honest I'd still have some respect for him.
To all you men who have a porn addiction and you are hiding it from your women and she finds out if you can't be real with her before she catches you and she will catch you just be honest with her. The lies are the worst. . .

La verdad no tenía idea de donde publicar esto, pero quería preguntar si ¿alguien ha tenido problemas en el proceso de garantía en Adata? (o cualquier empresa).
Aparte de que se tardan un buen en contestar (y cuando quieren) yo ya tengo un mes desde que envié mi equipo para su reparación y no me han dicho nada, según esto por parte de la paquetería ya llego, pero me siguen sin responder por parte de Adata.
Eh visto varias quejas en Twitter contando que tampoco les contestan igual que a mí, ¿Creen que estoy siendo muy impaciente o es normal que no contesten? :(
A si, el producto que envié es una laptop que no tenía más de un mes que había comprado y solo tenía un problema en la bisagra de la pantalla, nada muy complicado.

IDK if this fits the guidelines, but how do y’all prefer to see the format of the final? I really liked how Chuang 2021 did their final 3 songs. They don’t have a “center” or “killing part” in a way. The contestants all have a part for them to shine without the “center” or “killing part” title. I also liked how they let the contestants have their own stage for a brief moment. Like how Santa, Liu Yu, Rikimaru choreographing their own solo performances. They even added a fun twist to the theme song created by Han Peiquan.

Just got to this episode in Season 4, where Chloe has the weird “I Should’ve Known” solo (with the ALDC emblazoned on the front, I think that was supposed to be a dig bc she was always doing meet and greets with her mom and not involving Abby??) and Kendall beats her with Not Just Another Pretty Face.
Overall, while I think Chloe is losing passion at this point in the series, I still think at this point her technique was a lot better than Kendall’s. But I think watching these two solos, it’s pretty clear that Kendall’s was designed to win. But I’m curious y’all’s thoughts on this…
It’s stated multiple times in the episode that Not Just Another Pretty Face was supposed to be Maddie’s solo (she couldn’t perform it bc she was on Ellen that week). This is the first solo that Kendall had won in a very long time (maybe ever? I can’t remember). So does this prove the point that the moms always make that Maddie’s choreography/costume/concept sets her up to win? Considering that Kendall had never really won up until this point, then she gets a “Maddie” solo and wins?

El día de hoy pongo el tema para el análisis y el debate de si debemos de Dominicanizar la mano de obra en los renglones que los extranjeros dominan en cantidad a los locales, que ganaríamos y que perderíamos, cuáles retos tenemos para hacerlo, que oportunidades se pueden tener a futuro. Ojo, voy a tratar el tema desde mi punto de vista solo tocando las generalidades y no mi parecer de cómo deberían ser las cosas.
Como saben, la mano de obra extranjera cada día ocupa más plazas de trabajo en este país, no solo en la construcción y agricultura encontramos mayoría de mano de obra extranjera, sino que en sectores como los domesticas, el turismo, el transporte, la vigilancia, la hoteleria y los restaurantes encontramos Haitianos, pero a nivel de empresas, ventas, servicio al cliente, veterinaria, y otros, encontramos venezolanos que ocupan plazas desarrolladas en este país. La fuerte migración que han realizado estos dos países ha generado que en el caso de los haitianos, sean casi indispensables en algunos sectores y en el caso de los venezolanos que compitan con la clase media educada por puestos, por que normalmente estos cuentan con mejor preparación y debido a su situación económica, pueden ofrecer sus servicios más baratos que los locales. Pero, ¿es esto bueno o malo?
Conveniencia de el status quo y del uso de mano de obra extranjera
Básicamente, el contar con mano de obra extranjera en los sectores de habilidad baja-media, en el caso de la mayoría de los haitianos, permite que se puedan abaratar costos que de hacerlo un local, generarían en un precio más alto, tener personas que hagan un trabajo por una paga menor no lo veo poco ético, es simplemente como se maneja el mercado de oferta y demanda, otras cosas conexas a eso lo veremos más adelante
Contar con venezolanos, colombianos y otros, en nuestro sectores medios da la ventaja de que se puede traer conocimientos, experiencias, un know-how diferente de cómo hacer las cosas que en algunos caso puede mejorar algunos procesos de algunos sectores. Por experiencia propia, he trabajado con profesionales de Cuba, Colombia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Peru y Honduras en cultivos como Piña, Aguacate y Mango, y el intercambio de conocimiento ha sido de mucho provecho para los extranjeros, como para mi y las empresas del sector. No necesariamente este perfil de extranjero es peor pago por que muchas veces estos trabajadores muy especializados son muy costosos.
Inconvenientes
En el caso de la mano de obra haitiana, desplaza a la mano de obra no calificada dominicana de manera acelerada y presiona los salarios a la baja, además de que es una mano de obra difícil de manejar por que no maneja el mismo idioma que nosotros y es una mano de obra poco educada, tiene el problema en que su mayoría no tiene papeles de ningún tipo y se están violando varias leyes al emplearlas, violaciones que cometen desde el ciudadano más humilde, hasta el mismo estado. Es irónico ver cómo los haitianos son los que están construyendo el muro que va a mitigar la entrada irregular de ellos. Otro inconveniente es el pasivo social y las fricciones que genera el pueblo haitiano a el pueblo dominicano por las complicadas relaciones históricas entre ambos. Otro dato importante es que la abundancia de esta mano de obra y su relativo bajo costo, desincentiva el uso de tecnologías y maquinarias para realizar los procesos, ya que los empleadores entienden que es más fácil y cómodo usar mano de obra barata que comprar máquinas o tecnologías costosas que se amortizan con el tiempo.
En el caso de venezolanos y otros, tenemos el caso de que estos perfiles, lentamente están sustituyendo en algunos sectores a los graduados dominicanos o técnicos Dominicanos debido a razones ya expresadas anteriormente, dando lugar a que haya una competencia por los pocos empleos que genera el sector privado normalmente. A el día de hoy no se ve como un problema, pero a futuro pudiese causar muchas ronchas y generará rechazo a este tipo de migrante.
Retos que tenemos como economia
Cada día llegan más migrantes y se van más dominicanos, lentamente este país el porcentaje de migrante/nacional está cambiando. El si eso es bueno o es malo depende de muchas cosas. Pero el equilibrio que se está dando es de que se va la mano de obra más calificada y está llegando mano de obra menos calificada salvo excepciones mínimas. Lo que da lugar a que tengamos cada vez menos capacidad de innovación.
Cada año veo como muchas personas calificadas desfilan por los aeropuertos y no vuelven más, y sus puestos son ocupados por personas menos competentes. La economía tampoco genera los empleos formales necesarios para retener esa mano de obra y la calificada que está llegando y cada día más la economía se va informalizando lo que puede dar en disminución de las recaudaciones es estatales, mayor gasto en sistemas de protección de los ciudadanos y un déficit general en la productividad como país, a menos de que los bajos salarios se usen como atractivos para la inversión en zona franca o industria de uso extensivo de mano de obra no calificada, pero eso no mejoraría la calidad de vida de los dominicanos.
Oportunidades
Tenemos oportunidades enormes de poder cambiar la matriz productiva por una más tecnológica y especializada, terminando de cerrar el ciclo de la industria 3.0 y abrazando la industria 4.0 que es la que actualmente todos los países desarrollados persiguen. Podemos tomar el camino de dejar el trabajo menos especializado a los extranjeros y concentrar a los dominicanos en empleos mas rentables y de mayor productividad. Hay varias opciones que podemos tomar, pero depende de lo que queramos como país.
Habrán cosas que las máquinas o la ciencia no podrá sustituir y dependerán de las personas, ahora esa persona ¿quien quieres que sea o quien te conviene que sea?

After a couple weeks of recovery, I've had some time to write up a trip report! This vacation was the best I've ever had and I'm excited to share some highlights here, along with some mistakes I made and travel tips. My plans were to meet up with two friends for the first 1.5 weeks of the trip, then to go solo for the last week. They would fly to Chicago to connect with me, then we'd all fly over together to Narita.
Pre-flight
- I filled out the Japan entry forms to provide proof of vaccination, declare for customs, etc. We saved a pretty good amount of time with that compared to people filling out paperwork on the plane.
- For phone / internet we went with pocket wireless and it was incredibly smooth basically the whole time. We got two units for times where we'd be separated as well as a pocket translator, which was an unnecessary expense. You're not getting any added value over Google Translate.
- For daily travel we all went with Suica and that was again a very simple, intuitive experience. I'd just periodically add on funds to my Apple Wallet and ended up paying for a bunch of stuff with that rather than cash / credit. My one friend went with the actual card instead of using his phone, which had one advantage: some ticket machines would only accept Suica via card and through the app.
- For the shinkansens we skipped the JR Pass and just booked tickets that day, which was mostly fine. The machines wouldn't accept my credit card so I'd need to go talk to a person, but I knew enough about where I wanted to go and what to do I muddled through. We did opt for the Hakone Free Pass as that would cover basically all the transportation for that area and saved a little money.
- I'm fortunate to have a friend living in Japan who helped arrange a couple events for us... if you don't have that option you can try to book some tickets at Lawson, or for restaurants you can try to go 1-2 days in advance and ask about reservations.
- I tried taking a language course ahead of the trip and learning a few key phrases... I was not able to hold a conversation but the little bit I did know helped I believe. One "caution" I'll give is that if you use Google Translate to construct a sentence for you in Japanese, you're likely to get a response in Japanese!
Part 1: Tokyo
2/15 + 2/16 - Friend B unfortunately overslept and missed his first flight, so Friend A and I met up in the morning at O'Hare. I did have to check one of my bags at the gate because it was over 10 lbs, but otherwise the trip was uneventful until we arrived at Narita, where I had a momentary panic when my checked suitcase did not show up on the carousel. I talked to an agent and for some reason, they had set my bag aside from all the others behind a sign. With that out of the way, we picked up the pocket wi-fi and on our way out the door, a film crew from "Why did you come to Japan" asked us if we would do a brief interview. I recognized their logo and thought it might be fun, but I wasn't prepared for a 40 minute conversation! I mentioned I was visiting a Game Center CX exhibit and they asked me a long line of questions about meeting the show's host (Shinya Arino), what I would say to him, what games we would play, etc. Finally I had to explain we were tired and would like to be on our way. I don't believe my interview was ever shown.
By the time we got tickets and were seated on the Narita Express, we could barely stay awake. Maybe because of the fatigue we had difficulty with exiting Shinjuku station: we eventually talked to an Australian family who showed us the fare exchange kiosk where we converted our Narita Express ticket into a regular train ticket for the gate. Once we settled that we checked into our hotel (Hundred Stay Tokyo Shinjuku), briefly went out to Family Mart for snacks, then crashed for the night.
​
2/17 - We got up around 7 and went to a Sukiya near our hotel for breakfast, then headed over to Akihabara. Things were still opening up so we stopped for Mr. Donut, then visited a couple stores before moving further east to Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka where we had a lunch / sumo demonstration. This was very much a tourist thing: there was a brief explanation of the sumo ceremony and technique before they invited the audience to get in sumo costumes and step in the ring and have matches with the wrestlers. I (and about 90% of the attendees) went up: this was absolutely not a serious match and was closer to improv comedy than anything. Still, we had a good time and the food was fine.
Afterward, we went back to Akihabara for a reservation at an owl cafe. We got some cute photos but I admit those owls could not have been happy, as there were 30 of them in a small room. The handlers would let one perch on your arm but were adamant you not let go of their leash, because if you did... it wouldn't be pretty. At this point we had to return to our hotel to link up with Friend B who had just arrived, then we went back to Akihabara for dinner. Dinner was at Merino, an all you can eat place where we had lamb and beef tongue in a hot pot. Fittingly, there was a collaboartion with a lamb girl V-tuber. We were again pretty wiped out after dinner and retreated back to our hotel.
​
2/18 - After a quick stop at Family Mart we headed to Ueno for the Tokyo National Museum. Unfortunately the special exhibition was closed, but we enjoyed the historical artifacts that were available. We had a ramen lunch at one of the restaruants at Ueno Station, then head over to Akihabara (yes, again) and crawled through the shops in more depth. We were there on Saturday afternoon so there were people everywhere, so that only lasted for a couple hours. Our bags were full so we dropped things off at the hotel, then ate dinner at a Coco Ichibanya: we all kept our orders pretty low on the scale but as advertised, there's a kick even at "2". Finally we visited Star Club, a Super Mario themed bar located nearby. Despite the gimmick, the crowd appeared to be local aside from our group. We each ordered a couple of the themed drinks and bonded with the bartender over Cowboy Bebop through the language barrier, as he was playing the soundtrack for ambience.
​
2/19 - Our first stop in the morning was the Ghibli Musem. While my previous visit had been lackluster, this one went much better as there was a significantly smaller crowd so early in the day. Plus, while they are still largely not supporting English, the movie shown had no dialogue and they did actually provide an English guide for the special exhibit on Future Boy Conan! The merch shop was of course seductive and we ended up with souvenirs for ourselves and friends. Our lunch plans unfortunately fell through as our targeted spot (Chillmatic, a burger place) was closed for a building inspection. We opted for another random ramen place as we walked over to the PARCO mall in Shibuya. We visited all the character stores (Nintendo, Pokemon, Capcom, etc.), which were of course also mobbed on a Sunday afternoon. At this point I had easily outgrown the space in my luggage, so our next stop was Don Quijote so Friend A and I could each buy a duffel bag. To make up for earlier we visited Shogun Burger for dinner, which was fantastic.
​
2/20 - Our first travel day, but before heading out we did a little more shopping in Shinjuku: my friends and I really got into visiting every BookOff we could find. I also took the opportunity to stop at McDonalds for an early lunch and try their "exclusive" menu items. We then boarded the Odakyu line to make our way out to Hakone. In hindsight, I definitely should have forwarded a bag to our Kyoto hotel: I had a very uncomfortable trip moving between trains and walking uphill but after a couple hours we made it to Ajisai Onsen Ryokan. The building was in a traditional style but with modern furnishings: to paint a picture, our room had futons and an Amazon Fire Stick. We booked times to reserve some of the baths, then walked to a local gyoza place - and I mean local, a bunch of schoolchildren stampeded in with us as it opened - then headed back to the hotel for our evening bath. To cap the evening we enjoyed some sake and watched a few episodes of Spy x Family.
​
2/21 - We got an early start with our morning bath and quickly came to a realization. The previous night we had booked the "indoor / outdoor" bath, which had both an indoor and outdoor bath but critically kept the showers indoors. For the morning we were in the "outdoor" bath, which... had the showers outdoors. When it was right around freezing. Afterward we ate breakfast at the hotel, then went on the "Hakone Loop". We started by walking through Gora Park and participating in a brief tea ceremony, then took the rope car up to Owaukudani. We were lucky and there were clear skies so Mt. Fuji was very visible in the distance. Unfortunately part of the ropeway was out of service so we took a bus down to Lake Ashi, which we then crossed by boat. We quickly stopped for snacks then walked along Ancient Cedar Avenue before catching a bus back closer to our hotel. We unfortunately missed the last cable car for the day - they stop before 4:30 - but we managed to figure out the local bus line to get back. After a brief rest we found dinner at Pub Stop Pizza & Bar and took in some local entertainment (a TV was playing Fast and the Furious 7).
​
2/22 - Another bath, another hotel breakfast, and a quick stop at the Hakone Art Museum before we got on our way to our next destination. I asked / begged for us to take a cab back down the mountain to Hakone-Yumoto, which saved me from more luggage struggles. At the station we stopped in Eva-ya: I had only learned yesterday that Hakone is the setting for much of Neon Genesis Evangelion, but luckily they had some cover files and sweets ready for me to buy. After a couple hour trip on the shinkansen we arrived at Kyoto and with a bit of fumbling got to our hotel. The key here is that there is a second floor walkway that runs North - South through the station and doesn't require paying train fare. Our Kyoto hotel (Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Ekimae) had a very slick entrance way: it blended in with the building to the point you'd think you're walking towards a wall without signage. We did some laundry, then went next door to the Yodobashi to pick up a couple items (Friend A needed new sneakers) and literally got lost again. After again getting reoriented, we headed back to Kyoto Station where we got conveyor belt sushi. These places do technically exist where I'm from (US) but this was still one of my favorite moments on the trip.
​
2/23 - Kicked off the day at the Kyoto International Manga Museum. The bulk of the museum is an impossibly large manga library, which didn't serve me too well, but I enjoyed the history sections. One room was devoted to sculptures of the hands of famous artists, which was certainly a choice. They also had an artist there who would draw sketches of you for 1500 yen. I was a little worried I was paying for the equivalent of a carnival caricature, but the skill and detail were much better than that. Be advised, the artists are only available on holidays and weekends.
Afterward I took the train down to Osaka to meet a friend living in Japan for... you guessed it more shopping. We visited the Capcom Cafe first and checked out the rest of the nerdy stores at Daimaru Umeda. Unlike in Shibuya, we did need to get a timed entry ticket for the Nintendo store, so we went over to Mandarake to kill time. After finishing up in Umeda we hit up the Daimaru / PARCO at Shinsaibashi, then visited the Dotunburi Glico sign and walked the river. They took my picture and when I offered to take theirs they replied "no... I'm not a tourist". Oof. In the evening I met back up with my travel group and had udon at a spot in Kyoto Station.
​
2/24 - Slightly mixed things up here: we went to the Imperial Palace in order to get tickets for Katsura Imperial Villa. Unfortunately, same day tickets were not available as we expected, so we instead had to get them for Sunday 2/26. Still visited the palace, and in spite of the rain still had fun. Then back to Osaka where we ended up visiting Daimaru again - the other guys liked some photos I sent so much they wanted to see it too. Had takoyaki for lunch, then took the train to the Osaka Aquarium. The absolutely massive tank at the center was very impressive. Then stayed in the area and went to the park to wat a New Japan Pro Wrestling show. This was one of the first shows that allowed the whole audience to cheer: people were quiet but by the end of the night things were rocking. Interestingly they still only sat people in every other chair. Lastly while the other guys went to bed I had read on Twitter there was a party near our hotel to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Fox. Stopped by there and while it was a little awkward at first once I found the more gregarious / drunk people there it was a good time. One guy insisted I get in front of a camera and talk for a second, and it showed up in a video they posted on Twitter.
​
2/25 - Went to Nara and saw the deer. The deer are docile if you don't have food, friendly if you do, and absolutely terrifying to children. The amount of "yada yada yada" and "kowai" I heard... At first we were giving whole crackers out, but we learned that we could break them up, leave them on our palm, get them to bow, etc. Headed over to Todai-ji and saw the huge Buddha. It was in fact very, very large. Doubled back and played with the deer a bit more, then took the train to Kyoto. I took the lull in the afternoon to visit the office of Edit Mode, a clothing maker that specializes in video game goods. They occasionally host an "open house" at their office and we were lucky enough to be there during one. For dinner we ate okonomiyaki at a restaurant in the Yodobashi building, then afterward took a trip to the nearest BookOff before hitting the hay.
​
2/26 - This was definitely our biggest mixup on the trip. We had been planning to go to Fushimi Inari in the morning but there were some scheduling issues:

1. We didn't take not of how long the hike would be (2-3 hours).
   
2. We overslept (woke up at 7:30 instead of 6).
   
3. We had a hard stop time to make the Katsura Imperial Villa tour we'd booked on Thursday.
   

We probably should've just not gone to Fushimi Inari at all but we did and ended up arriving with less than an hour to stay. We walked up the steps for about 15 minutes, turned back, checked out the start of the path, and left :( At least the Villa was a good experience: we had an English speaking guide (+ recording) which helped a lot. The context felt necessary to understanding how carefully the whole area was designed.
Next up was one last stop at our Kyoto hotel before taking a quick train ride to Osaka. We stayed at the Hotel Granvia Osaka, which is literally right above the station, so the location was certainly convenient. We ate sushi for lunch at one of the many restaurants in the building, took a quick nap, then went out for some taiyaki. Specifically, I forced my friends to go to a particular chain that was collaborating with a V-Tuber. back to the hotel where we checked out then hopped on the train to Osaka. Checked into our hotel and people napped for a bit before we headed out again. Got taiyaki (making my friends visit a chain with a Hololive collab). More shopping followed with a stop at Mandarake, then to Don Quijote where I bought another small suitcase. We ended up more or less skipping dinner and heading out for karaoke, where we had some snacks and drinks.
​
2/27 - For my friends' final day we went to Universal Studios Japan. This could be its entire own post but I recommend looking for tickets at least a month in advance, get the Express Pass, and get there early. The park is supposed to open at 9, and even though we showed up at 8:30 people were already pouring inside. Our main objective was Super Nintendo World but our timed entry wasn't for a couple hours, so we tried Jujutsu Kaisen 4D (okay), Spider-Man (good), and Jurassic Park the Ride (okay) first. As for Super Nitendo World itself... as long as you know it's intended for kids and has about a 4 hour lifespan you'll enjoy it. The Mario Kart ride was very good the AR game was interesting tech, and the restaurant food was alright. Really though, the Flying Dinosaur which went on afterward was incredible and easily my favorite ride. Unfortunately, Friend A became ill afterward so we ended up bailing to go back to the hotel and rest. After he felt better we grabbed dinner at a local ramen place: the gimmick was they lined the bowl with slices of pork, which you could then put in the broth to cook a little and season the whole bowl.
​
2/28 - My two friends left for America, so we checked out of our room and I checked into a smaller one at the same spot. This hotel didn't have laundry machines, just an expensive service (200 yen to clean one pair of underwear), so instead I found a laundromat nearby and caught up with family by phone while I waited. On the way back to the hotel I stopped at another Yodobashi, where I committed a gaffe: you're supposed to check out on each floor. Once I apologized a bunch and paid, I grabbed lunch at Wendy's and got settled into my new room. For dinner I went to another of the restaurants in the building, then took a train to Namba to see a retro video game bar. A couple drinks and a chat with the bartender later, I headed back for the night.
​
3/1 - A very nerdy shopping day in Osaka: first to the Daimaru character shops, then over to Parco character shops, then I just used Google Maps to hit BookOffs one after the other. I made my way south until I hit DenDen Town where I stopped in every store I saw until I had to break away for dinner. A local friend helped me book a reservation in Kobe Took the train out to Kobe where a friend had helped me make a reservation at a steak restaurant. I went for the "modarately" cheap option that was about $100 total and loved it from beginning to end. Also strangely this was the only restaurant anywhere I could tip: you had to tip individually and could only max it out at 500 yen. I tipped the two waiters, the chef, and the host / barker outside (who had good English so we talked a bit).
​
3/2 - My Fushimi Inari revenge trip! I got there around 9am so things were already pretty busy, but I did get the chance to chat with one of the tour guides while I had a morning coffee. The starting area was pretty busy and even as I went along, I ran into a lot of people but there was still enough space to take photos and see everything. I definitely paused at a few points: even walking 20,000 steps daily on the trip hadn't prepared me for all the stair climbing. I'd also suggest that you don't NEED to go all the way to the top: there's just a store up there that completely obscures the view, the better views are earlier in the hike. With that said, I still really enjoyed myself, taking a different route back down. I grabbed a couple of snacks and took the train back to Osaka, where I finished up exploring Namba and went with a friend for an unagidon dinner. I'd had broiled eel before as sushi but never as the full entree and found it delicious!
​
3/3 - After checking out of the hotel and forwarding two of my bags to Tokyo, I caught the shinkansen but made a detour while in Yokohama to visit the Gundam Factory. The Gundam is very impressive in person and I would definitely recommend visiting in the early evening to see it after dark if possible. I proceeded onto Shinjuku where I ran into another issue: I was staying at a capsule hotel and immmediately realized I was not comfortable there. Everyone's bags were kept in a locker room that was not closely monitored, there were signs everywhere advising the hotel was not responsible for any theft... I should have done more reading to understand where I'd be staying. I would have been better off in a hostel, at least that would've been cheaper! I did at least have a chance to visit Shogun Burger again for dinner, after which I booked a new hotel for the next night, then got a few hours of restless sleep as I heard every snore and cough from my neighbors.
​
3/4 - I rose early and walked to Shinjuku Gyoen Garden. You really can use Suica in a lot of places, they even accepted it here! Most plants weren't in bloom yet but I did spot a lone cherry blossom tree that had blossomed: as I passed by it later in my walk a dozen people had crowded around for photos. A lot of stuff was not in bloom yet but I did see one cherry tree had blossomed at least. After getting my fill of nature I ventured over to Nakano Broadway. Out of all the nerdy shopping I did, this spot was my least favorite: maybe if I knew Japanese I would've fared better but because I didn't, I found all the various specialty stores confusing to navigate. I stopped back at the capsule hotel to pick up my luggage, then headed to Nipponbashi to check into my backup hotel (S-Peria Inn Nihonbashi Hakozaki). This new spot was pretty out of the way so I opted to just grab some sushi from a nearby supermarket and park it for the evening with the hope of a strong start tomorrow.
​
3/5 - Checked out of my hotel and headed over to Shinjuku to check in to my final hotel (Kadoya Hotel) for the trip. Dropped off my bags and confirmed my other ones had shown up safely, then headed to Shibuya Parco for the Final Fantasy 35th Anniversary pop-up. Shopped there for a bit, then headed back to Chillmatic and this time they were open! It was a neat experience but I think I preferred Shogun Burger. Next stop was Meijijingu - I didn't leave a votive and instead just walked around, including a stop in one of the gardens. Then over to HMV Books where there was a 20th Anniversary Celebration for Game Center CX. However busy I expected it to be, it was not... at all. I was the only person who paid the 800 yen for the museum part in the 30-45 minutes I was there. But I did enjoy it and picked up a T-shirt. I also found a small pop-up gallery titled "9Days" on a lower floor that was interesting. It was getting late but I pressed onto Akihabara where I went to the Radio Kaikan tower. I stayed there until closing, then headed over to Tokyo Video Gamers, a bar. They had closed down last year but were in the middle of a soft re-launch when I stopped by. Finally, I headed back to my hotel and ordered some Dominos because I was tired of walking around.
​
3/6 - Checked out of my hotel, but left my bags so I could go eat breakfast at Eggslut at the station. Took the Narita Express to the airport, shopped a little bit at the airport shops, then the long sad flight back to the US.
That was a linguistic dreadnought so if anything is unclear let me know and I'll try to clean it up. Hope you enjoyed and it helps with your own planning: I'll answer questions as best as I can!

Some quick background:
By the year of 1649, which was five years after the Manchus, a semi-nomadic tribe, descended from the seemingly unbreakable great wall and achieved their great feat of conquering Northern China, the authority conducted a census and found out by that time there were only 55330 adult males in the entire population. In the mean time, they have to deal with more than 100 millions subjugated Chinese. This sheer difference of numbers between the conqueror and the conquered forced practically every Manchus men to become soldiers, including the author of this diary.
The author acted sort of like a nowadays squad leader in the Manchus army, for he had 4 soldiers under his command. However, Since the Manchus army suffered from the above mentioned predicament of lacking manpower, he , as a born Manchus himself, actually enjoyed a very trusted position in the eyes of his general and could get in touch with some ultra confidential information/ high level officials every now and then.
The diary itself covered a period of roughly 3 years: from the New year's day of 1680 to 1682, and it mainly focused on the author's military career during the Manchus conquest of the southern China. Although as you can probably tell from reading his work, the author himself was not exactly the most educated and bright guy on the earth and due to the nature of his job this diary's narration suffered badly from many huge gaps, it was a really unique and extremely valuable piece of historical source and eye-witness account.
I wish I could translate all of them but for now please enjoy the first five months of this diary that I have already translated!
​
In the reign of Elhetaifin khan(the original text omitted this title here, yet the author did use Khan to address his monarch in the later part of the dairy. The Chinese word for Elhetaifin was Kang xi), in year 19, the canary monkey year of the Manchu calendar.
The new year‘s day: General Manggitv(this is apparently either a spelling mistake or a nickname, since this general's name was actually Manggitu as we can find from the later part of the diary and other history sources) led his councilors,janggins (a Manchu military title)and local officials to the city of Nan ning fu (The word fu already means city in Chinese , but the author,as a Manchu, clearly was unaware of it and he probably thought it is a part of the city’s name. So in the original text he wrote Nan ning fui hoton, in which hoton means city in Manchus,thus it could be translated as the city of Nan ning city). They entered the Dung Yoo miyoo(meaning the temple of eastern mountains in Chinese) and made a dedication to the divine. The subordinates of the councillors prostrated themselves to each other to show their courtesy. By the time of the festival, the janggins of the eight banners and soldiers started to eat and drink, even those armoured bayaras(one of the most elite Manchu military units) went on the street, they got some women’s clothes and wore them themselves to pretend like women, and they sang along with those who were singing the song of Doo yang ke (again, ke already means song in Chinese, and the author was not aware of that. I think making this kind of mistake twice probably suggests the author has no knowledge of the Chinese language.)to entertain themselves. The image of the old men (sakdasa in the original text, which probably refers to the author’s parents) emerged in my heart, fuck.
25th,February: Shang zhi xin(a Chinese dynast who serves the Manchus), the mighty conqueror general, the king who pacified the south; along with Manggitu,the general of the south theatre; Ecu, the general of Jiangning; Lebei and Hife, the counsellor and lord of the banner; and Ehene, the vice janggin, met together to hold a war council on the best method to enter and conquer Yun nan(a province in southwestern China).The plan was made, and it was decided that we should initiate the invasion next winter. I sewed a tent and saddle for my horse(not sure what exactly that means,do horses need tents?) and also fixed my weapons.
3rd,March: Mang(this time for sure a nickname of general Manggitu, potentially coined by the author himself) said there was a decree issued from the khan’s court…..(the content of the decree was too long and rather irrelevant, so I did not translate it). I took some time to finish the necessary maintenance.
5th,March: The date of departure was approaching, so an order was given to us to prepare our weapons.
6th,March: Ganduhai and other low-ranked janggins strictly inspected the quantity of the horses. The message of Ma qiyang yen’s rebellion against us was delivered to our camp again, he was the Chinese governor of Bin jeo.
13th,March: General Mang(nickname of Manggitu) selected 3 bayaras from each niru(the manchu equivalent of battalion, roughly 300 men strong), and he handled this force to Hife, the lord of the banner, and Ehene, the janggin of the flag(apparently Mr Ehene got recently promoted). Hife also had 5 regiments of Chinese auxiliary forces under his command, each of which was 1000 men strong . With this army, he was ordered to fight the above-mentioned rebel Ma Qiyang Yen, and he then marched towards the direction of Bin jeo.This day my eight horses(the author forgot to use plural form and accusative case here,I assume it was due to his depression)were stolen by thieves. My heart feels so heavy. After reporting this to the general, the general informed the officials and the civilians about this matter, and an investigation was initiated; it turned out to be fruitless.
16th,March: General Ecu reached Nanning city(I assume the author was learning Chinese, since this time he did not say the city of Nanning city again)from the county of Yung Mvn by water.
20th,March: The military horse from Yung Mvn also reached our camp. The general ordered to allocate these military horses from Yung mvn among those armored soldiers who did not have one. At that time (the couriers) did not want to surrender the horses, so (the general) scolded the leaders of every regiment, calling them weak. General Mang gathered all those janggins of the camps together and told them: "Why have those horses not been allocated as ordered yet? You were ignoring my orders! It was not even something hard to do, yet you refused to follow it! Now, go and bring those horses to the city, they are government property! " Then the matter was finally settled.
25th,March: We departed from Nanning city and I was leading a squad of four soldiers in a niru. Mang the general and Lebei, Hife the lord of the banner, led the army, aiming to reach Liu zhou. We marched past the Jing ceng sy(a Chinese temple) and Kun lun pass.
In five days, we marched 170 ba(a Manchu unit of length, each ba equals roughly 500 meters)
30th,March: We reached Bin Jeo; first, we met the Bayara force; then, I and my squad were allocated to the ranks of the Aliha force(it is a combined force of Mongol and Manchu soldiers.The word Aliha means "those who are in charge").We then formed a new platoon.
1st,April: A servant of my platoon mate Hooxan distributed some beef among us. These beef meats were acquired through killing some random natives. This was discovered by the general’s own armoured guards. He called me and other squad leaders to his tent, then he asked us to sit down and comforted us with his kind words. I felt so ashamed. In the end, we were all punished, Ganduhai was sentenced to a fine of three months' salary, I and the vice janggin Dandai were sentenced to a fine of six months' salary. Bosoku (a Manchu military title, refers to a low-ranking cavalry officer) was sentenced to 70 strokes of the cane. Hooxan from the Booju niru,who was the master of the servant, was sentenced to 80 strokes of the cane. The servant was sentenced to 100 strokes of the cane.
4th, April: The rations of the army were running out, so the general decided to move the camp. We moved to a place that was 15 ba away from Bin Jeo. We were ordered to search for food in every nearby village and to hull rice plants if we could find any. I sent the children of my servant to the village,(they)discovered some rice plants hidden by the villagers in their basements, (we)dug a hole in the ground to hull the rice.
6th, April: The Chinese auxiliary force was ordered to build a temporary bridge on the river near Bin Jeo.
8th, April: A decree was issued by the ministry:"Prince kemungge and Brother king Shang zhi xin(previously mentioned Chinese dynast who supports Manchu rule) ,please(the original text was,quite surprisingly, using operative mood) meet together, then use your joint force to attack Ma qiyang yen’s force.General Manggitu, why have you not launched the campaign to enter and conquer Yun nan? You need to explain this to us immediately" Then we heard again the rumour that Hai Qing county,Jin Men, and Xia Men of Fu Jian province were conquered by our empire.
13th,April: Once again, a scolding message was sent from the ministry, asking us to enter and conquer Yun nan.
16th,April:Since the servant of the soldier( probably referring to the Hooxan incident)harmed the local people, a decree that barred all soldiers from leaving their post was issued.
19th,April: We crossed the river near Bin jeo, marching 15 ba, and then we established our camp at a place called Too deng near Xa Moo San. I made a small shack for myself with grass. This day the brother king(Shang zhi xin) sent a letter to our camp:" governor Jin (a Chinese) is leading the marine force and traveling by water with 23 boats. I myself am currently dwelling with military governor Jelken. We shall start to move with our force on April 15th. I pray that your excellency could capture Lai Bin County; in the mean time, I will go and capture Vsiowan County. I hope I can meet you at that place. I wish we could then discuss whether we should wait for Prince Kemungge or simply attack Liu zhou with our own force." And the mighty baturu(meaning great warrior), the man born for war, the governor of Yun Gui, general Zhao liang dong( a Chinese general who served in Manchu army, he was greatly respected by the author)also sent a secret message to our camp: "The leader of the rebels Wu san gui, Wu guo gui were now dead. The ones left were Wu ying qi, Wu Shi Fan, and Hu Gui Zhu. They were nothing but a bunch of incompetent dollards and their morale was already shattered. This is the time to conquer Szechuan! Four(armies)need to conduct attacks together, we shall capture all their land, and it will be done in one strike!" I carefully and respectfully heard his message .
23th,April: The war council decided to capture Lai Bin first. Thus, an order to prepare a ration of one month’s worth was issued. I ordered someone to dig a hole in the ground to hull the rice plants.
28th,April: The soldiers were sent out to collect enemy intelligence. I also went out with them.
29th,April: I was sick, I puked.
1st, May: Prince Elhe himself was leading his army back to the north, it was said they were going back to Beijing, I went out to follow him, but contrary to my wish, I failed to go back, fucking frastrute(author made a spelling mistake here, and it was followed by a large gap period, so he was probably super fed up).
7th, May: The rebel leaders from Yun nan,namely Fan Qi Han and Jan Yang, joined forces with Ma Qiyang yen and crossed the river near Lai Bin. We heard that they stopped near the Da Xi Bridge. General Mang ordered all the men to stay within the camp and build fortifications. My troops also participated in building the defences, and they were all complaining.
13th, May: The hostile force was approaching, they stopped at a place 5 ba away from us and set up camp on a monticule. General mixed the Chinese auxiliary forces and our own forces together in order to defend the camp. I was personally patrolling the camp with my full-set of armour on for the entire day.
15th,May: Subordinates of the rebel Ma qiyang yen, fake general Ma qiyang lei, and Rao yi lung,together with the other rebel’s fake generals Fan qi han and Jan yang from Yun nan challenged us with more than 10 thousand soldiers. They arranged many anti-horse obstacles and large barriers near Too Deng. The army of the enemy itself was drawn up in a four-line formation and was equipped with many muskets and elephants. Seeing this, General Mang ordered every subcamp to select 1 janggin and 10 armoured soldiers to secure the luggage. Then the rest of the army went out to fight the enemy. Our army was marshalled as follows: "Hife, the lord of the banner, stood at the front of the first line to coordinate the attack. The troops in the second line were commanded by Masita. The first line of the right wing, in the meantime, was commanded by Ehene. The flank troops of the left wing were commanded by Lebei. In front of the whole army, the general placed the Chinese auxiliary force and their artillery." The enemy rushed towards us; they broke through our first line like it was nothing, and the Chinese could not stop the charging enemy, so they fled from the battle. Seeing this, the banner men from plain red and plain yellow organised two simultaneous attacks with great passion; they penetrated the enemy line, creating two gaps. Yet the enemies fought unyieldingly; they reorganised and concentrated all their forces to strike towards us, ignoring the plain red and yellow bannermen at their flank. Our troops could not stop them, so we started to retreat scatteredly. I saw it all myself, how they drove the bannermen from the bordered blue banner to their anti-horse obstacle. But all of a sudden, the bannermen being chased stopped, and a series of strange "picyang" sounds came from the enemy's direction. Then I saw the soldiers of the first line somehow managed to drive the elephants towards us while the military standards of the bordered yellow banner’s bayara janggin Valda and aliha army(the unit author belonged to)’s vice bosoku( the bosoku himself was probably still recovering from the cane stroke) Ulehi were seized by the enemy. At that time, the soldiers of the second line, including me, saw hardly any option but to shoot desperately towards those beasts. They were charging us from all directions, so we had to shoot while standing back to back, and the elephants looked like hedgehogs. When the elephants acted like grey fishes,(elephants) fled away. My heart felt really strange at that instance, and I could not stop it from beating like crazy. The hostile army then left the plain and retreated to the forest on the mountains. They again arranged some anti-horse obstacles there later that day. We did not fight them again, for our forces went back to the camp to spend the night while defending our fortifications.

Hola gente de Reddit, me gustaría que pudieran dejar sus comentarios sobre lo que piensan que debería hacer
Tengo 19 años, acabo de entrar a la Universidad y quiero aprovechar al máximo cada segundo que pase ahí, ya es la recta final de una vida como estudiante, donde no me he preocupado más que por sacar buenas notas. Tuve amigos y buenas experiencias hasta que entre al bachillerato, resumiendo, no entre a la escuela que quería, donde habían quedado todos mis amigos de secundaria, en su lugar entre a una escuela donde empece a ser la burla de mis compañeros, sin motivo ni razón, diario rezaba por que mi vida cambiará, y sorprendentemente cambio, nos mudamos de Ciudad, vida nueva, amigos nuevos, yo necesitaba comenzar desde cero y mis plegarias se habían hecho realidad. Pero, en esta nueva escuela se burlaban lo triple, incluso hasta me hicieron un Instagram falso jaja, nunca había recurrido a esconderme en los baños de la escuela, sin embargo, era más mi miedo por seguir siendo la burla, que deje perder el curso, reprobe todas mis materias. Para este punto mi autoestima estaba hasta el suelo, habían conseguido que me sintiera como nunca me había sentido, y nuevamente cambio, no sólo mi vida, si no la de todo el planeta, llegó el covid y yo el más contento, tendré mis clases en línea, así es como empece a aislarme, si antes mínimo convivía con mis bullys, ahora no convivire con absolutamente nadie hasta a finales del año pasado, y a eso sumarle que me la pasaba pegado a fb e ig viendo como salían de fiestas, varios se enamoraban, no se, me salte esa parte que muchos consideran "lo mejor de su vida" Se que esta mal compararse y diario combato en ya no hacerlo. Termine el bachillerato en línea, y algo en mi cabeza me decía que me metiera a trabajar, lo hice jaja, y no me arrepiento, fue una sabía decisión, me ayudó bastante a reconectarme con el mundo real, me gusto una compañera de trabajo, no pasó absolutamente nada jajaja, pero no me preocupaba, volvería a la escuela presencialmente y podría conocer más gente
Y llegamos a la actualidad, la verdad es que extrañaba estar en las aulas, ver a gente de mi edad, todo eso, pero mi cabeza me ha estado jugando mal, yo creía haber controlado mi "ansiedad social" Si jaja, por que después de que todo tu salón se burle de ti, te pasa eso. Hay gente muy agradable, no consideró que alguien tenga tan mal corazón como para burlarse de los demás, pero aquí esta el problema, mis pensamientos jaja, creo que aún no he olvidado al 100 las cosas que pase y me sigo comportando de cierta manera a la "defensiva"
Soy extremadamente callado, me han intentado hablar pero no logró pronunciar las palabras tan alto como para poder mantener una conversación, si no fuera por Dayana, una amable chica que se esta ahí aunque en ocasiones nos quedemos callados un buen tiempo, volvería a pasearme por los pasillos solo
Siento que todo el mundo me observa y me juzga en su mente jaja, súper alucin, últimamente he notado que nadie me mira jaja y eso me parece genial, pero no se, no puedo caminar recto, tampoco se donde poner mis manos y llegó muy agitado al aula, también me pongo a pensar en escenarios que probablemente nunca vayan a pasar, lo único que quiero es ser cualquier chico de mi edad, con sus aventuras y una confianza sólida
Ojalá me puedan ayudar, cualquier Consejo lo tomaré en cuenta, si no ponen ni un comentario más sin embargo leyeron todo lo que puse. Gracias

próximamente tengo que renovar el seguro de mi auto, y hasta ahora he hecho renovaciones anuales porque sale mas barato que mensual, y además así me despreocupo por un año completo.
Pero desde que empezó la pandemia, trabajo de home office, y uso mi coche considerablemente menos, por lo que pagar *tanto* por un seguro que casi no necesito ya se me hace un gasto elevado.
Ahora, he visto que hay opciones de seguros de auto de los que supuestamente solo pagas lo que usas, digamos por kilómetros recorridos cada mes. Y en apariencia, si me convendría, porque pagaría considerablemente menos.
pero, que tan buenas son esas opciones? porque como no son de aseguradoras "conocidas" o "de renombre", no me dan la misma confianza, y temo que a la hora de un posible siniestro sea un desmadre el hacer las reclamaciones, que te paguen los daños, que no te la hagan cansada, etc.
O quizas si son buenas, pero no se como realmente garanticen que solo te cobran lo que usas. Y supongo que ahí forzosamente el pago seria cada mes, según el uso.
Además, no se si tengan los mismos tipos de cobertura, o a la mera hora para todo te dijeran, "no, eso no lo cubre" o "solo cubre a,b,c", o por otro lado, que tengan gastos escondidos tipo derecho de poliza, comision por tal o cual, deducibles mas altos, o lo que sea. y que al final a la mera hora saliera mas caro que uno tradicional.
En su opinion, han usado ese tipo de seguros? Valen la pena por ese ahorro? o mejor "ir a la segura", con una aseguradora "de toda la vida" y una póliza tradicional y no arriesgarse?
Gracias de antemano.
P.d. es mi primer post en este sub, según yo, cumple las reglas, pero no se si por ejemplo se prohíbe mencionar (o pedir recomendaciones de) marcas o servicios. y por lo mismo no mencione "marcas" especificas, pero si sí se puede, comentenlo para poder mencionar las opciones que he visto y la aseguradora que tengo actualmente, así com ustedes puedan recomendarme algo.
