Is that Hector Salamanca?

Identity politics also plays into it. Pass the blame on to another demographic and promise to do something about it.

Couple minor nitpicks, just for the sake of knowledge sharing:

ち is usually pronounced “chi” instead of like “tee,” though is often written as “ti” in Kunrei romanization to be consistent with the other characters in its set. Hepburn romanization usually writes it as “chi” however, and is the more widespread (e.g. Sapporo Ichiban beer instead of “Itiban”; the protagonist of Spirited Away is named Chihiro instead of Tihiro, etc.)

It’s also called “katakana,” not “katanaga”. “Kana” is the term for syllabary (the consonant-vowel pair we see) and K is often voiced to G for compound terms. Hiragana means “even syllabary” because it could be written smoothly in a cursive-like format. Katakana is “fragmented syllabary” because its shapes derive more directly from pieces broken off from Chinese characters.

Katakana actually developed before hiragana, with hiragana being considered less refined (it was a “woman’s” script). But hiragana’s ease of writing helped it catch on as the default script over time, with katakana being reserved for words with emphasis. It’s commonly used for loanwords (but not universally so) because it’s similar to how “proper” English italicizes foreign terms that have not been totally subsumed into the vocabulary.

There are some accounts that explicitly label themselves as bots, though. So on those, you’re basically guaranteed to never receive any response or engagement from OP.

Wonder if it might just be the romanticism of it. Stories are more gripping when your hero is forced to use their backup weapon to save the day. Whatever supports a more intimate one-on-one fight to the death.

Even within the American gun-worshipping mythos, the revolver is the iconic weapon of cowboys and lawmen of the wild west, though handguns were much less common than rifles and shotguns of the day. But a showdown in the center of town isn’t as exciting with a rifle, you gotta have the revolver and its meager six shots to raise the tension.

Interesting take for someone with your username, I figured you’d be thrilled!

I don’t think they had the vocabulary to describe the concept of a memelord back then, so guessing that ‘poets’ would be the next best descriptor for someone who does funny things with words.

Basically “If the survivors knew how badly the Titanic was going to get memed on, they might have wished they died there instead.”

Monument Valley 1, 2, and 3 (mobile games). An interesting set of puzzle games with good visuals. They only require single taps to work.

Also can get a mouse for the Steam Deck (or a PC if you have one). There are a lot of good games that you can likely use with a mouse if the hand/wrist motion doesn’t cause pain or discomfort for your thumb.
