Stereotypen

Ich würde sagen, dass ich viele der amerikanischen Klischees entspreche. Ich bin faul, ungesund, und hochmütig, um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen. Ich will meiner Umgebung die Schuld geben, aber ich weiß, dass wenn ich mich verändern wollte, würde ich das schon tun. Meine Familie kommt aus Asien, deswegen werde ich auch mit asiatischen Stereotypen konfrontiert, aber nicht so oft. Ich kann nur ein paar Klischees nennen, die ich entspreche, wie Aussehen und Intelligenz.

"Last Mile" and "Capitalist Realism"

The film I wrote about previously, "Last Mile", depicts the problems between a large corporation and its employees. It is about the current net shopping and delivery services. By just one click we can buy things and get them as quickly as possible. It sounds very easy, but behind the scenes, many workers and drivers are forced to work hard to increase work efficiency and corporate profits. I was impressed by the words of the worker who committed suicide, “I am dreading Black Friday.”

In a sense, “Last Mile” symbolizes the exact situations described by Mark Fisher in his 2009 book “Capitalist Realism”. Namely, as Mark.Fisher says, people have no choice but to accept the reality that a society other than capitalism is impossible to imagine, and they fall into a state of social slavery and just live in a hopeless dystopia.

However, “ Last Mile” offers some key insights that Mark Fisher shows in order to avoid capitalist realism in his book.

1. Criticism of blind faith in profitability: As large corporations and society prioritize numbers and efficiency, the reality is that "people" become invisible.

2. Dignity of workers: By depicting individuals who are not just "cogs" in the machine, but who speak out despite their discomfort and anger, viewers themselves are given an opportunity to reconsider their own position.

3. A story of protest: In capitalist realism, resignation that "the world as it is cannot be changed" is widespread. However, through creative activities like filmmaking, people can realize that there are still opportunities to protest.

Especially, the point 3 above makes us feel that there is still hope. In Japan, there is still room for films like "Last Mile" to be planned, produced, and released, and for people who watch it to feel and think about reality in our capitalist society. This is a small but definite resistance to capitalist realism. What is needed is a dialogue that resonates with such films, talks about them, and seeks to find points of contact with society without being alienated hopelessly.

La Jeunesse

J'ai 19 ans. Malheuresement je ne vais pas avoir 19 ans pour toujours. On devient adulte et vieux. On ne peut pas faire rien. Peut-être je pense trop. Je suis encore jeune. Peut-être vouz croyez, que j'aime aller a la fête mais ce n'est pas le cas. Je n'aime pas la fête.

Mia figlia si è sentita malata oggi, quindi è tornata a casa da scuola prima. È sempre malata dopo un esame del fine settimana o dopo una competizione di danza.

Martedì, 27 maggio 2025
Mia figlia sta meglio. Oggi è andata a Niigata (sulla costa del Mar del Giappone) con la sua classe del liceo.
Hanno fatto una grigliata sulla spiaggia. Bello, no? Il mio martedì non è stato così bello. I miei alunni del martedì sono così rumorosi! E i genitori ci devono dei soldi. Sono insegnante privato di inglese, ma non sto gestendo un ente di beneficenza! Abbiamo delle bollette da pagare.

Antisocial Lifestyle

I don't like shopping at all. If I need something, I go to the nearest store where I can buy it and go home. It's targeted shopping. Although I'm a bit antisocial I prefer shopping in person because it's easier and simplier than online. Why? Because if I go to the store and buy a... TV for example, then that's mine. I bring it home and the job is done. But if I order something today, I have to wait for several emails and the courier of course, who is completely unpredictable. Maybe he/she calls me before the delivery, maybe not. Maybe he/she'll come when he/she promised, maybe he/she won't. And the package itself... maybe comes in one piece, maybe not. Maybe the ordered thing works fine, maybe not. Sometimes I order some stuff, though. Especially if I can't buy something in person.

Il mio hobby preferito

In realtà non ho un hobby! Mi piace fare molte cose in mio tempo libero. Probabilmente, si potrebbe mi chiamare un dilettante di tanti cosa e padrone di nessuno. Di solito, soprattutto negli Stati Uniti, un nome di dilettante è un nome senza rispetto. Ma penso che questo non sia giusto. Per quanto riguarda gli hobby, queste sono le cose che mi piacciono: soprattutto, mi piace imparare — tante cose diverse. Per esempio, ho letto di teologia, di bioetica, di storia, di vita sana, ecc. Mi piace ascoltare la vita delle persone — questo è uno dei motivi per cui amo il mio lavoro di psicologa. Mi piace viaggiare — vedere le cose nuove, posti nuovi — incontrare persone che vivono e pensano in modo diverso da me. Non voglio mai diventare stagnante, ma imparare e crescere sempre. Per me, è come essere pienamente vivo. Suppongo che si potrebbe dire che vivere la vita al massimo è il mio hobby.

マインクラフト

2010年に初めてマインクラフトをプレイしました。その後、マインクラフトがすごく人気になりました。大学のときに、毎日のようにマインクラフトをプレイしました。大学の友達と共用のサーバーがあります。それ以来、たくさんのことは変わりました。今のゲームはよくわからないことがあります。最近、またプレイする気があります。多分、一人でプレイするか、パブリックなサーバーを見つけます。

Tradução 17: O caso

Uma empresa tecnologia dos Estados Unidos afastou seu CEO após um abraço filmado no telão do show do Coldplay - há rumores de que os envolvidos são funcionários da companhia - ter viralizado. No vídeo, o que inicialmente apareceu no telão no Estádio Gillete em Foxborough, Massachusetts, duas pessoas aparecem de braços dados. Quando seus rostos são mostrados para milhares de espectadores, o homem e a mulher se agacham rapidamente e fogem da câmera.

音楽

音楽は本当にすごいなものと思う。
音楽を聞きだけで、自分の気持ちをその歌の歌詞で揺れる。

明るい曲を聞く時、自分の気持ちも明るくなる。
切ない曲を聞く時、自分もちょっと寂しくなる。

本当にすごいなものだ。

ちなみに、今、皆さんは気に入っている歌とかがありますか?教えてください。
最近、僕は「元彼女のみなさまへ」という歌をよく聞くよ。

Heute

Mein deutscher Pass war gestern angekommen. Ich muss Flüge checken. Ich möchte meine Familie besuchen, es ist nicht nötig den deutschen Pass beantragen nach Deutschland zu reisen, aber sowieso brauche ich ein Pass und es war sehr einfach zu beantragen.
Am Morgen habe ich gelesen, dann habe ich Frühstück gemacht und danach habe ich meinen Zeitplan für das Sprachenlernen organisiert. Ich habe nicht mehr Schule, ich habe also mehr Zeit und ich will mein Deutsch und Italienisch verbessern.

Hablando de ejercicio

Prefiero los ejercicios con el peso corporal en lugar de levantar pesas. A mi novia le gusta más levantar pesas que hacer ejercicios con su propio peso. Mi novia prefiere entrenar con máquinas de gimnasio. También es importante entrenar la coordinación. Intento mantener un entrenamiento equilibrado en vez de enfocarme solo en una cosa. Me gusta entrenar paradas de manos y movimientos acrobáticos. Calentar es fundamental para evitar lesiones.

취미

오늘은 취미에 대해서 이야기할 거예요. 읽기는 제 취미예요. 제 방에서 책이 많이 있어요. 여즘은 한강의 소년이 온다를 읽고 있어요. 너무 좋아요. 저는 책 냄색을 좋아해요. 저는 전자책보다 종이책을 더 좋아해요. 그림는 또 제 취미예요. 연필로 그림 그리를 것을 좋아해요. 하지만 저는 자주 그림을 그리지 않아요. 저는 미술관에 가는 것을 좋아해요. 정말 편안해요. 마지막 취미는 잔자예요. 제가 가장 좋아하는 것이에요.

Gyms During Saturdays.

Today I was having a little cold. Instead of working out today, I decided to just take a steam bath. Gyms during Saturdays are very calm and quiet. I enjoys working out on weekends because I don't have to wait for my turn to use the gym equipments and machines. But, due to cold and weakness I didn't worked out. I just miss the chance of having great weekend.

話せる言語について

LangCorrectのプロフィールで、二つの言語をネイティブと書いていて、二つの言語を学習中とも書いています。実はもう一つの言語も話せます、ある程度。

私は南インド出身なので、ヒンディー語はネイティブではありませんが日常会話には困りません。大学時代はデリーで勉強していたので、毎日ヒンディー語をしゃべる必要がありました。朝はある程度大丈夫だけど、日の終わりには疲れていて、文を作るのが難しくなることがよくありました。

ある日、演劇部の活動に関係して、小道具を持ってメトロで移動していました。その時は夕方で、部活は一日中大会に出たあと、帰るところでした。私が持っていた小道具の中には、顧問の先生から借りた杖がありました。どうしても、それを安全に家まで持って帰らなければなりませんでした。なぜなら、私がその杖を大切に扱うと先生に約束していたからです。

でも、メトロの入り口で警備員に止められて、「それは危険なものなので、持ち込むのは許可できない」と言われました。パニックになりました。車で帰るのは高く、でも杖を捨てるわけにはいきませんでした。そのパニックで、口ごもることしかできませんでした。

でも警備員は、私が彼女の言っていることを理解できないと思ったようです。

「ヒンディー語わかる?」と聞かれました。

私は思いました。「あ、チャンスかも」

それで、彼女が何を言っているのか全然わからないふりをしました。最終的に、彼女は私に疲れたようで、「もういい」と言って中に入れてくれました。

たぶん私が女性だったから、うまくいったのかもしれません。男性の方は、真似をしないほうがいいと思います。

Long time no improve English

Hi, I'm yazgul. I haven't improved my English so I have difficult in writing this text. I'm feeling unmotiveted and exhastued, I hope you can get me some advice about it. Also, I've spend a lot of time in social media so I can't focus anything. But I struggle with study. By the way I'm a software engineer would you handle this? Maybe you want to talk about it. By the way I've got help to write this text from AI and my notes.

①有12颗宝石,其中一颗的质量不一样,除了这一点它们都完全相同的。用一台双盘天平,怎么只称三次找出不一样的宝石,还有了解它比其他宝石更重还是更轻?

②三个人在饭店吃饭,吃了后服务员说总共30欧元。三个人每一个人给10欧元。然后,服务员注意到实在是总共25欧元,还他们5欧元。三个人不知道怎么平分5欧元,每个人拿1块,留下2欧元做为消费。所以,三个人都付了9欧元,服务员受到了2欧元的消费,3*9+2=29,还1欧元在哪儿了?

③国王的酒窖里有千瓶酒。他知道其中有一瓶有毒。喝了一口毒酒的人肯定24小时后死。国王需要尽快找到哪瓶有毒。他利用准备牺牲的好官们,让他们喝酒,看谁死了,但没有1000人可以牺牲。最少可以用多少人找到哪瓶酒有毒?

Vivere in campagna o in città

Secondo me, come ci si sente nel luogo in cui si vive dipende dal tipo di persona. Alcune persone sono abituate a vivere in città, dove è normale dormire, lavorare e trascorrere la giornata in posti rumorosi.

Il rumore di sottofondo diventa una parte naturale della vita quotidiana. Altre persone, invece, preferiscono la tranquillità della campagna, dove i versi degli animali o i suoni della natura accompagnano la maggior parte della giornata.

Credo che, quando si raggiunge una certa età, sia importante scegliere il posto ideale in cui trascorrere il resto della propria vita.

Vivere in campagna ha lo svantaggio di essere troppo lontano dai servizi essenziali, come ospedali, uffici postali, supermercati e così via.

Per me è importante scegliere un posto dove io possa sia vivere in pace, in mezzo alla natura, sia avere negozi vicino a casa e mezzi di trasporto comodi.
