■なぜお前たちは中古のThinkPadで十分なのか
デヴィッド・グレーバーはかつて言った。「まるで誰かが、全員を働かせ続けるためだけに、無意味な仕事を作り出しているかのようだ」（It’s as if someone were out there making up pointless jobs just for the sake of keeping us all working.）。まさにそれが、マイクロソフトとPC業界のやっていることだ。お前たちは、気づいていないのか？お前たちのPCは昨日まで問題なく動いていたのに、なぜか「最新のOSに対応していません」と言われる。そして、お前たちは言われるがままに、新しいPCを買う。何も変わらないのに、何も問題がなかったのに、「古くなったから」と思い込まされて、新しいものを買わされる。この壮大な茶番を、そろそろ終わらせるべきではないのか？
PC業界がやっているのは、まさに「捏造された古さ」だ。お前たちのPCは、企業の都合で「古いことにされている」だけであって、技術的には何の問題もない。マイクロソフトは、新しいOSを出すたびに、わざと不要なハードウェア要件を追加し、「最新のOSが動かない＝お前のPCはもう終わり」と宣言する。それを合図に、PCメーカーは「最新モデル登場！」と大々的に宣伝し、電気屋には「このPCはWindows 11対応！」という札が貼られた新品がズラリと並ぶ。そしてお前たちは、何の疑問も持たずに財布を開く。
考えてみろ。お前たちのPCが本当に「使えなくなる」理由は何だ？ 昨日まで普通に動いていたのに、ある日突然「サポート終了」と言われるだけで、急に役立たずのゴミに変わるのか？それは違う。お前たちが今手元に持っているPCは、スペック的に見ても、Web閲覧、動画視聴、事務作業、プログラミング、軽いデザイン作業など、まだまだ余裕でこなせる。にもかかわらず、「サポートが切れました」「セキュリティのリスクがあります」と脅されて、新しいPCを買わされる。だが、その「リスク」とやらは、本当に存在するのか？実際のところ、多くのセキュリティ問題はブラウザやアプリのアップデートで解決できるし、Linuxを入れればそもそも関係ない。
グレーバーの言葉を思い出せ。「まるで誰かが、全員を働かせ続けるためだけに、無意味な仕事を作り出しているかのようだ」。PC業界がやっているのは、これそのものだ。不要なアップグレードを強制し、それに伴う無意味な仕事を生み出し、それを理由にさらなるアップグレードを繰り返す。新OSが登場する → 「旧PCは対応不可」と宣言 → ユーザーが新PCを買う → それを支えるために、OS開発者、カスタマーサポート、マーケティング担当、販売スタッフ、新OS対応のための企業内IT管理者といったブルシット・ジョブが発生する。
よく考えてみろ。これらの仕事は、本来必要だったのか？もし、無意味なアップグレードサイクルがなければ、そもそも新しいPCを売る必要もないし、それに伴う新OS対応の仕事も存在しなかった。つまり、PC業界全体が、まさにグレーバーが批判した「ブルシット・ジョブ」の巨大な温床になっているのだ。これは「ただ動くPCを維持するだけでいい」世界では存在しなかったはずの仕事だ。お前たちは、ただのカモにされているのだ。
そして、極めつけは「最新のOSにはAIアシスタントが搭載！」などという無意味な機能追加だ。お前たちは、そんなものを求めていたのか？仕事中に「今日は何を手伝いましょうか？」と余計なお世話を焼くAIアシスタントが必要だったのか？ほとんどのユーザーにとって、PCの使い方は決まっている。Webを見て、メールをチェックし、文書を作成し、動画を観る――それだけだ。にもかかわらず、「AIアシスタント」だの「最新のUIデザイン」だの、まったく求めていない機能を詰め込まれ、それに対応するために新しいPCを買わなければならない。どこまで馬鹿にされれば気が済むのか？
お前たちには、中古のThinkPadで十分だ。X220、X250、T480、T490――これらのマシンは、すべて数千円で手に入り、Linuxを入れれば最新のPCと遜色なく動く。バッテリーを交換し、メモリを増設し、SSDに換装すれば、あと5年でも10年でも使える。それなのに、お前たちは「古くなった」と思い込まされて、何の疑問も持たずに新品を買い、PC業界の金づるになっている。もういい加減に目を覚ませ。
企業は、お前たちのために新しいPCを作っているのではない。彼らは自分たちの利益を維持するために、意図的に古いPCを「使えないことにする」ことで、次々と無意味なアップグレードを押し付けているのだ。そして、その裏では、アップグレードを正当化するためのマーケティング担当、新OS対応のためのIT管理者、ユーザーに「新しいPCを買え」と説得する販売員など、数多くのブルシット・ジョブが生み出されている。もしお前たちが、新しいPCを買うのをやめ、古いPCをLinuxで蘇らせることを選べば、この無意味なシステム全体が崩れるのだ。
お前たちは、PC業界の奴隷ではない。お前たちは、無意味なブルシット・ジョブを支えるためのカモではない。お前たちは、騙されるな。目を覚ませ。中古のThinkPadにLinuxを入れろ。それだけで、この巨大な茶番から解放されるのだ。お前たちは、もうこれ以上、企業の策略に付き合う必要はない。お前たちは、中古のThinkPadで十分だ。

■自分が好きな音楽を娘に聞かせてみた
娘は、普段Youtubeで、ドラえもん、妖怪ウォッチ、ゲゲゲの鬼太郎、マイリトルポニー、サンサンキッズTVなんかを見ている。
（ちなみに、今頃妖怪ウォッチ？と思うそこのあなた、今は小学校において「テレビのこの番組を見ていないと話題に乗り遅れる」といった同調圧力が弱いのと、妖怪ウォッチはYoutubeで全話？見られるため、娘は愛好しています。）
風呂に入れた後、娘の髪を乾かしている間、娘はすることがないので、私が好きな曲のミュージックビデオをスマホで見せて、どれが気に入るか試してみた。ちなみに娘は英語は話せない。
1. APT (Rose and Bruno Mars), 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekr2nIex040
かわいいアジア人女性と、コミカルな男性、アーパトゥアパトゥというキャッチーな繰り返しが気に入り、今一番気に入っている。
やはり、女の子が出てくる＋コミカル、の2つが組み合わさると気に入っている。
2. Fu-gee-la (Fugees) 1996
]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPlb9HoOCxs
3人組の泥棒の主人公（うち1名が女の子）が、追手をかわしつつ逃げる、というストーリーが気に入ったようだ。あと、サビのところで出てくるウラララーというフレーズも気に入っている。
3. ワンルーム・ディスコ (Perfume) 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMsGcW-xaYU
4. Alone (Kim Petras) 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_5AbgHmFqk
かわいい女の子、キャッチーナメロディー、頻繁に変わる衣装、途中で出てくる長い付け爪など、娘的には面白い要素満載のようだ。
ちなみにこの歌手はトランスジェンダーだが、そういった話は娘にはしていない。
5. Better Off (Alone, Pt. III) (Alan Walker, Dash Berlin & Vikkstar) 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouEl3qTLc0M
ハッカー集団が、違法っぽいCDを焼いているところ、警察に踏み込まれる。しかしハッカー集団は逃げて、最後はなぜかDJしている。
女の子皆無、ダンスなし、コミカルでない。しかし、ちょっと怖いのがよいようだ。先ほどの曲とサンプル元が一緒なので、メロディはすんなり入ったみたい。
6. Up Out My Face (Mariah Carey feat. Nicki Minaj) 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i7GEMQC2IY
女の子2人とコミカルという要素を押さえつつ、なぜか赤色がいっぱいでてくるのが妙にはまったようだ。
7. Pretty Girl Rock (Keri Hilson) 2010
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtXOVKNazYU
女の子が、時代に応じた衣装と髪型でコスプレし、どんどん変化していくのが面白がっている。「本当に全員同じ人？」とよく言っている。
8. Ghetto Supastar (Pras feat. Ol' Dirty Bastard & Mýa) 1998
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP3zuuGav-Y
おじさんが、マスクを破ってでてくるところが好き。あとは女の子の甘い声が好きみたいだ。
9. Basket Case (Green Day) 1994
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUTGr5t3MoY
男の子しか出てこないが、とにかくコミカルに見えるようで、最近特に気に入っている。
「この人たちどうして病院で楽器ひいてるの？」とよく言っている。

Shadow’s trailer also generated backlash from some gamers, who criticised the choice of Yasuke as a main character over a native Japanese protagonist.
Opponents have accused those critics of being racist, and have pointed out that Yasuke is based on a real-life person.
Charles, speaking to Newsbeat before the trailer dropped, says the developers “put a lot of emphasis on authenticity and making sure we depict Japan and the culture right”.
“So when we started the project, we had a historian with us from day one,” he says.
He says the team also consulted weapons experts and travelled to Japan to get a feel for the landscape and locations in the game.
シャドウズのトレーラーは、一部のゲーマーからの反発も生みました。彼らは、日本人主人公ではなく弥助を主人公として選んだことを批判しました。
これに対して、批判者たちを人種差別主義者だと非難する声も上がっており、弥助が実在の人物に基づいていることが指摘されています。
チャールズは、トレーラー公開前にNewsbeat（BBCのニュース番組）との対話で、開発者たちが「日本とその文化を正しく描写することに重点を置き、真正性を重視した」と述べています。
African samurai: The enduring legacy of a black warrior in feudal Japan ｜CNN
When feudal Japan’s most powerful warlord Nobunaga Oda met Yasuke, a black slave-turned-retainer, in 1581, he believed the man was a god.
Oda had never seen an African before. And like the locals in Japan’s then-capital of Kyoto, he was awed by Yasuke’s height, build and skin tone, according to Thomas Lockley, the author of “African Samurai: The True Story of Yasuke, a Legendary Black Warrior in Feudal Japan.”
“When Yasuke got to Kyoto (with Jesuit missionaries), there was a massive riot. People wanted to see him and be in his presence,” says Lockley, who spent nine years researching and writing the book, which was published last month.
Oda believed Yasuke to be either a guardian demon or “Daikokuten,” a god of prosperity usually represented by black statues in temples. He tried to rub the pigment from Yasuke’s skin, believing it was black ink. Once convinced Yasuke was real, he immediately threw a feast in his honor, says Lockley.
1581年、戦国時代日本の最も強力な戦国大名である織田信長が、奴隷から家臣となった黒人のヤスケに出会った時、信長はヤスケを神だと信じました。
「アフリカン・サムライ：戦国時代日本の伝説的黒人武士ヤスケの真実の物語」の著者トーマス・ロックリーによると、信長はそれまでアフリカ人を見たことがありませんでした。そして、当時の都であった京都の地元民と同様に、ヤスケの身長、体格、肌の色に畏敬の念を抱いたそうです。
「ヤスケが（イエズス会宣教師とともに）京都に到着した時、大規模な騒動が起きました。人々はヤスケを見たがり、彼の存在を身近に感じたがりました」と、9年の歳月をかけて研究し執筆した先月出版されたこの本について、ロックリーは語ります。
信長はヤスケを守護の鬼か、通常寺院で黒い像で表される繁栄の神「大黒天」のどちらかだと信じていました。信長はヤスケの肌の色素を擦り取ろうとし、それが黒インクだと考えていました。ヤスケが本物だと確信すると、すぐに彼の名誉を称える宴を開いたとロックリーは述べています。

ここまでやるなら、ゲームに規制は不要！！あらゆる規制に反対する！！と表明したらよかったのでは？って思うが、
なぜか日本版だけ日本人の首ホームラン出来るのが禁止されているの突っ込まないんですよね。Roninはゴア表現あるのになぜでしょうね？
あと日本人の非武装市民はペナルティ無し攻撃できるけど白人キャラは攻撃できないこともツッコミなし。NPCだろうが攻撃できるゲームはいくらでもあるんですけど
It was surprisingly gory, like the decapitations, you could get coated in blood. How vital is that to the assassin’s fantasy?
（斬首シーンなどでは、予想外に残虐で、血まみれになることもありますね。これはアサシンのファンタジーにとってどれほど重要なのでしょうか？）
I think it’s not an assassin thing, it’s a Japan thing in our case. So looking at death was a day-to-day occurrence in that period, and the way most people died in Japan during that time is clean decapitations.
So we didn’t want to shy away from it, although you can turn off the violence if you want. There’s options for it. You can turn off the blood, you can turn off the dismemberment and stuff. So it’s more trying to be faithful to the war aspect of Japan at that period. Death was a common thing and decapitation was not a strange sight in Japan.
私たちの場合、これはアサシンに関することというよりも、日本に関することだと考えています。当時の日本では、死を目にすることは日常的なことでした。そしてその時代の日本で多くの人々が死んでいった方法は、きれいな斬首でした。
ですので、私たちはそれを避けようとはしませんでした。ただし、望めば暴力表現をオフにすることもできます。そのためのオプションがあります。血の表現をオフにしたり、切断などの表現をオフにしたりすることができます。これは、むしろその時代の日本の戦争の側面に忠実であろうとする試みなのです。死は日常的なことであり、斬首は日本では珍しい光景ではありませんでした。

いぞと警告したんです。当然ながら、政府はその読者に対し、イギリスやヨーロッパでこの
思考犯罪を犯した疑いのある同胞たちを通報するよう奨励したんです。” 原文：This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so-called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally, the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected guilty of thought crime in Britain and across Europe.
2024年9月、スコットランド政府は「Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) (Scotland) Act 2024」を施行し、すべての中絶サービス提供施設の周囲200メートル以内を「安全アクセスゾーン」と定めました。このゾーン内では、女性やスタッフの意思決定に影響を与えたり、アクセスを妨げたり、恐怖や嫌がらせ、不安を引き起こす行為が犯罪とされています。
ttps://www.gov.scot/news/safe-access-zones/ 政府公式ページ
”ニュース
スコットランドのすべての中絶サービスの周りの200メートルの保護ゾーンが設置されました。
これらのゾーン内では、サービスにアクセスするための女性とスタッフの決定に影響を与える可能性のある方法で意図的または無謀に行動することは、今や刑事犯罪です。彼らのアクセスを妨げる;そうでなければ、警報、嫌がらせ、または苦痛を引き起こします。
スコットランド警察は法律を施行する責任があります。法律を破った人は、裁判所の手続きに応じて、£10,000までの罰金を科されるか、無制限の罰金が科せられます。
犯罪が犯されたかどうかを判断することは、スコットランド警察、クラウンオフィス、検察庁、裁判所の問題になります。各ケースの事実と状況に応じて、犯罪行為のいくつかの例には、中絶サービスにアクセスしないように誰かに説得し、クリニックや病院に出入りしようとする人々を取り囲み、チラシを配ることが含まれます。、宗教的な説教と沈黙の徹夜。原文；approaching someone to try and persuade them not to access abortion services, surrounding people as they try to go in or out of the clinic or hospital, handing out leaflets, religious preaching and silent vigils.
“セーフアクセスゾーンの導入は、女性の中絶権を保護する上で重要なマイルストーンです–誰も女性の個人的な医療決定に干渉する権利がなく、法律により、そのことが十分に明らかになっています。
“ジリアン・マッカイと、この法律を進展させるための彼らの仕事に関係したすべての人々に感謝します。私は特に、法案のプロセス中に発言し、経験を共有することに信じられないほどの勇気を示した女性を認識したいと思います。
“すべての中絶サービスの周りの200メートルの新しいゾーンは、女性が脅迫を受けずにヘルスケアに安全にアクセスできるようにするのに役立ちます–。この法律は、多くの人が深く個人的で困難な決定を下すことに信じられないほど脆弱であると感じるときに、女性を保護することです。”
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
特に、政府が配布したガイダンスでは、「意図的または無謀に」行われる「宗教的説教」や「静かな集会（silent vigils）」などの活動が禁止される可能性があると明記されています。さらに、エディンバラの「安全アクセスゾーン」内の住民に送付された手紙では、自宅内での行為であっても、法律に抵触する可能性があると警告されています。

”エディンバラの「安全なアクセスゾーン」の居住者に投稿された手紙は、彼らが自宅で実行された訴訟のために刑事訴追に直面する可能性があると警告したとテレグラフは報じている。”
この法律の施行により、特定の地域内での祈りや宗教的活動が制限されることとなり、住民や宗教団体から懸念の声が上がっています。一方で、政府はこの措置が中絶サービスを利用する女性やスタッフの安全とプライバシーを守るためのものであると説明しています。

”内務省は、中絶反対運動家が静かに診療所外で祈ることを禁止することを検討していると述べました。”
”沈黙の祈りは、心の関与であり、神への祈りの中で考えられており、1998年の人権法の下で絶対的な権利として保護されており、それ自体では、いかなる状況でも犯罪と見なされるべきではありません。”
いちおう揺り戻しも来ている模様

“警察はこれらの人々のいずれにも近づかず、彼らに尋ねません、彼らは祈っていますか、彼らは何を考えていますか？
“しかし、地元の人々の何人かは私がプロライフであることを知っており、警察に連絡するので、警察は彼らをサポートし、地域の分裂の精神を強制するのを助けました。”

■Best Dating App Opening Lines
Let’s face it: starting a conversation on a dating app can feel terrifying. You see someone you’re interested in, you type out a message, and then… you delete it. “Is this too boring?” “Will they even respond?” “What if I sound awkward?”
We’ve all been there. That first message can make or break your chances of connecting with someone amazing. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to overthink it. With the right opening line, you can spark a conversation that feels natural, fun, and meaningful.
At MixerDates, we believe that every great connection starts with a great conversation. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you craft the best dating app opening lines—ones that stand out, show your personality, and lead to real connections. Ready to ditch the “hey” and start making an impact? Let’s dive in!
[:contents]
Why Your First Message Matters
Before we get into the best opening lines, let’s talk about why your first message is so important.
1. First Impressions Count
Your opening line is your chance to make a great first impression. It’s the gateway to a conversation that could lead to something special. A thoughtful, creative message shows that you’re genuinely interested—not just swiping mindlessly.
2. It Sets the Tone
Your first message sets the tone for the entire conversation. A boring or generic opener might lead to a dull chat, while a fun or intriguing one can spark excitement and curiosity.
3. It Shows Effort
Let’s be real: everyone loves feeling special. When you put effort into your opening line, it shows that you care enough to stand out. And on MixerDates, where we value authenticity and positivity, that effort goes a long way.
The Best Dating App Opening Lines (And Why They Work)
Now, let’s get to the good stuff—the best dating app opening lines that actually work. These are divided into categories to suit different personalities and situations.
1. The Playful Opener
- Why It Works: Humor is a universal icebreaker. It shows you’re fun and don’t take yourself too seriously.
2. The Compliment Opener
3. The Question Opener
- Why It Works: Questions encourage engagement and give the other person something interesting to respond to.
4. The Shared Interest Opener
- Why It Works: It shows you’ve paid attention to their profile and creates an instant connection over shared interests.
5. The Bold Opener
- Example: “I’ll be honest—I swiped right because you seem like someone who’d make a great partner in crime. What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?”
6. The Quirky Opener
Tips for Crafting Your Own Opening Lines
While the examples above are great starting points, the best opening lines are the ones that feel authentic to you. Here are some tips to help you craft your own:
1. Personalize It
Reference something from their profile—a photo, a hobby, or a shared interest. It shows you’re paying attention and not just copying and pasting.
2. Keep It Light and Fun
Avoid heavy or overly serious topics right off the bat. Keep the tone light and playful to make the conversation enjoyable.
3. Be Yourself
Don’t try to be someone you’re not. If you’re naturally funny, lean into that. If you’re more thoughtful, go for a sincere compliment or question.
4. Avoid Clichés
“Hey” or “What’s up?” might be easy, but they’re also forgettable. Put in a little effort to stand out.
5. End with a Question
This gives the other person an easy way to respond and keeps the conversation flowing.

While a great opening line can spark a conversation, building a real connection takes more than just a clever message. Here are the key elements to look for when seeking a meaningful connection:
1. Shared Values and Goals
A strong connection starts with alignment on the things that matter most. Do you share similar values, life goals, or visions for the future?
2. Emotional Availability
Look for someone who is willing to share their thoughts, feelings, and vulnerabilities—and who encourages you to do the same.
3. Mutual Effort
Healthy relationships are a two-way street. Both people should be putting in effort to communicate, plan dates, and support each other.
4. Respect for Individuality
A true connection allows both people to be themselves without judgment. Look for someone who celebrates your uniqueness and encourages you to pursue your passions.
5. Open and Honest Communication
Communication is the foundation of any strong relationship. A mutual connection thrives on honesty, transparency, and the ability to resolve conflicts in a healthy way.
At MixerDates, we’re here to help you find these key elements in a partner. Our platform is designed to connect you with people who share your values and are looking for the same things you are.

■How to Flirt on a First Date Without Feeling Awkward
First dates can be exciting and nerve-wracking all at once. You’re meeting someone new, learning about their interests, and trying to figure out if there’s chemistry between you. And then there’s flirting, that delicate dance of showing someone you’re interested without being too forward or awkward.
Flirting doesn’t have to be a high-pressure situation. In fact, it can be the most fun part of getting to know someone. Whether you're meeting someone on MixerDates or any other platform, the most important thing is to be genuine, stay calm, and let the connection develop naturally.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to flirt on a first date without feeling uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Everyone has their awkward moments, but the more you understand the art of flirting, the easier it becomes. In this article, we’ll break down how to flirt in a way that feels natural, exciting, and authentic to who you are. So, let's dive in and learn how to make the most of your first date experience—without overthinking it.
Confidence: The Foundation of Flirting
When it comes to flirting, confidence is key. But what does it really mean to be confident on a first date? Confidence doesn’t mean you need to be perfect, or even outgoing—it simply means being comfortable in your own skin and showing up as your authentic self.
Have you ever noticed how people are drawn to those who radiate self-assurance? It’s not about bragging or dominating the conversation—it’s about presenting yourself with ease. If you feel good about yourself, it will naturally show. A great smile, good posture, and eye contact can go a long way in making a good first impression.
For instance, think about the last time someone walked into a room and immediately caught your attention—not because they were the most attractive person in the room, but because of their energy. They were confident, they were present, and they made you feel at ease. That’s the kind of confidence you want to project on your date.
When you're confident, you're not worried about saying the perfect thing. Instead, you focus on enjoying the moment, making the other person feel comfortable, and letting the connection happen naturally. That’s the magic of confidence—it allows you to be present, fun, and, most importantly, yourself.
The Power of Subtlety
Let’s face it—no one wants to feel like they’re being “worked” or put through a game. That’s why subtlety is such a powerful tool when it comes to flirting. It's all about showing interest without being over-the-top or too obvious.
Flirting doesn’t always mean complimenting someone non-stop or using cheesy pickup lines. In fact, the most successful flirting is the kind that happens behind the scenes—subtle, playful, and lighthearted. Think about the little moments, like a teasing comment about how they always order the same thing at a restaurant or the way you laugh at a silly joke they make.
The key is to find a balance. A simple smile or a playful comment can convey interest without being too much. For example, if your date tells you they love hiking but they tend to get lost easily, you could say something like, “So, you’re telling me you need a personal guide? I could get behind that!” It’s lighthearted, humorous, and most importantly, it keeps the conversation fun without putting too much pressure on the situation.
By keeping it subtle, you allow your date to feel at ease. It takes the pressure off them to be perfect and allows both of you to enjoy the interaction more naturally. Flirting doesn’t need to be a performance—it’s about creating an environment where both of you can feel comfortable and authentic.
Active Listening: A Key to Connection
Now, let’s talk about something incredibly important in the flirting game: active listening. When we’re on a date, we often get caught up in thinking about what to say next, how we’re coming across, or if we’re being interesting enough. But the best way to make an impression? Truly listening to your date.
Active listening means you’re fully engaged in the conversation, giving your date your full attention and responding thoughtfully. It’s about showing that you care about what they’re saying and that you’re genuinely interested in getting to know them better. When you listen actively, you’re also giving them space to open up, and that can create an immediate connection.
For example, if your date mentions they recently traveled to Japan, instead of simply saying, “That’s cool!” you could follow up with something like, “What was the most memorable experience you had there?” This shows that you’re not just hearing their words but are genuinely curious and invested in their experiences. It’s a great way to build rapport and let them know you’re not just there to impress them—you’re there to connect.

While your words are important, body language often speaks louder than anything you can say. Whether you realize it or not, your body is constantly communicating how you feel. How you sit, stand, and move tells your date whether you’re relaxed, engaged, or distracted.
Small gestures can go a long way in flirting. A light touch on the arm, a subtle lean in when they’re speaking, or maintaining good eye contact—all these body language cues help signal your interest. And the great thing is, when done naturally, these cues can be just as effective as words.
For example, if you’re sitting at a café on your date and you lean in slightly when they’re sharing a funny story, you’re not just showing that you’re interested—you’re inviting them into your space. It’s an invitation to connect further. And when they respond by leaning in too, that’s when the magic happens—the unspoken connection that tells you both that there’s potential for more.
Flirting through body language doesn’t mean making grand gestures or being overly touchy. It’s about being present and showing that you’re engaged with your date in a subtle, but meaningful way.
Have Fun: Don’t Take It Too Seriously
It’s easy to get caught up in overthinking how to flirt or trying to figure out if your date is into you. But here’s a secret—when you let go of the pressure and allow yourself to have fun, everything flows much more naturally. Flirting on a first date doesn’t need to feel like a test or an assignment. It’s supposed to be a fun, lighthearted experience that sets the stage for more great dates ahead.
When was the last time you had a genuinely fun date? Was it when you were trying too hard to impress, or when you were both laughing, chatting, and enjoying each other's company? Flirting becomes effortless when you're present, enjoying the moment, and letting the connection grow naturally.
Sometimes, it's the small moments—like sharing a laugh or swapping embarrassing stories—that make a first date truly special. When you focus on having fun, you create an environment where both of you can relax, flirt, and let the chemistry grow. That’s the secret to a great date.

Reasoned about exoplanet civilization likelihoodを28 秒行う
Evaluating planetary prospects
OK, I’m looking at the likelihood of a civilized society on an exoplanet within our Solar System. I’ll consider biological history and current space knowledge, aiming to identify the most promising candidate.
Identifying potential candidates
I'm considering exoplanets like Proxima Centauri b and TRAPPIST-1e, which might suggest they are within or observed from our Solar System.
Assessing potential candidates
I’m evaluating Proxima Centauri b, Barnard's Star, LHS 1140, and TRAPPIST-1, focusing on their habitable zones and available data. The Drake equation might help estimate their civilized society likelihoods.
Identifying promising exoplanets
I’m noting key exoplanets like Proxima Centauri b and TRAPPIST-1, which have Earth-like characteristics and are in habitable zones. This narrows down the potential candidates for advanced civilizations.

I'm crafting a chart with exoplanet names and civilization likelihood percentages, grounded in the long timeline of life's evolution, despite the speculative nature of these figures.
Identifying exoplanet contenders
I’m evaluating exoplanets like Proxima Centauri b, TRAPPIST-1 e, and Kepler-186f, considering their star types and distances, to gauge their potential for supporting advanced civilizations from our solar system's viewpoint.
Weighing proximity and observation
I'm leaning towards Proxima Centauri b due to its closeness and observational potential, despite concerns about its flare star dynamics. TRAPPIST-1 e, f, or g are also worth considering.
I'm focusing on exoplanets like Proxima Centauri b, Ross 128 b, LHS 1140 b, TRAPPIST-1 e/f/g, and K2-18b, aiming to chart their likelihood of hosting a civilized society based on current knowledge.

Piecing together
I’m leaning towards Proxima Centauri b for its proximity and silent star, but I’ll add a speculative chart ranking nearby exoplanets, noting their advanced civilizations' hypothetical likelihood.
Assessing civilization probabilities
I'm emphasizing the slow emergence of intelligent life on Earth, which suggests that the odds of any habitable planet developing a complex civilization might be as low as a few percent.
Below is a very speculative chart that—based on what we know about Earth’s long, winding path from simple life to a “civilized society” and our limited observations of nearby exoplanets—gives some fun, made‑up percentage chances for a few of our best candidate exoplanets. Remember: Scientists have not yet found any proof of life (let alone advanced civilizations) on any exoplanet. These numbers are just playful estimates to help you think about the ideas!
Speculative Chances of Finding an Advanced Civilization on Nearby Exoplanets
Exoplanet Estimated Likelihood of a Civilized Society
Proxima Centauri b ~2%
LHS 1140 b ~0.5%
How Did We (Very Roughly) Guess These Numbers?
Earth’s Example:
On Earth, life began as simple single‑celled organisms and took billions of years to evolve into a species that built complex societies. This long journey suggests that—even if a planet is in the “habitable zone” (where liquid water could exist)—developing an advanced, civilized society might be rare.
Proxima Centauri b:
This is the closest exoplanet to us. Even though its star (Proxima Centauri) is a red dwarf that sometimes sends out strong flares (which might harm life), its closeness makes it one of our most interesting candidates. That’s why we give it a slightly higher guess (~2%).
These planets are part of a group orbiting a very cool star. Their environments might be challenging (for example, they could be tidally locked, meaning one side always faces the star), so the chance of a complex, advanced civilization might be a bit lower.
LHS 1140 b:
This planet is promising in some ways but is a little farther away and around a dimmer star, so our playful estimate is even lower.
All of these percentages are extremely rough guesses based on what little we understand about the conditions for life and intelligence. Scientists use ideas like the Drake Equation to think about these chances—but until we have concrete evidence, these numbers remain just for fun and imagination.
Enjoy exploring these ideas—and remember, space is full of mysteries waiting to be discovered!

re-examining the Drake Equation
evaluating the Drake Equation's value
OK, let me see. The Drake Equation isn't a precise formula; it's more of a guiding heuristic that tackles numerous uncertainties regarding extraterrestrial civilizations.
Thinking through the Drake Equation, I’m evaluating its conceptual nature, its uncertain parameters, and its criticism to conclude on its reliability as an accurate predictive model.
Understanding the Drake Equation
I’m mapping out the Drake Equation as a conceptual guide, detailing its parameters, which are often based on estimates or opinions, to evaluate its reliability for predicting extraterrestrial civilizations.
The Drake Equation is a famous formula that was created to help scientists think about the many factors involved in estimating the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. However, when we look at the equation closely, we see that it is more of a conceptual framework or heuristic tool than a precise, predictive formula. Let’s break down why:
The equation is usually written as:
𝑁
=
𝑅
∗
×
𝑓
𝑝

𝑛

Where:
𝑅

R
∗
: The average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy.
𝑓
𝑝
f
p
: The fraction of those stars that have planetary systems.
𝑛
𝑒

: The average number of planets that could potentially support life per star with planets.

: The fraction of those planets where life actually develops.
𝑓

: The fraction of planets with life where intelligent life evolves.
𝑓
𝑐

c
: The fraction of civilizations that develop technology that releases detectable signals into space.
𝐿
L: The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals.
Why the Drake Equation Is More of a Guideline Than a Precise Formula
Uncertain Inputs:
𝑅
∗
R
∗
𝑓
𝑝
f
p
(fraction of stars with planets), have become better known through modern astronomy.
The parameters related to the development of life and intelligence—
𝑓
𝑙
f
l
,
𝑓
𝑖
f
i
,
𝑓
𝑐
f
c
, and
𝐿
L—are based on very limited data. For example, Earth is the only planet we know where life has developed, so we have no way to compare or derive a statistically robust estimate for these factors. This means that the values chosen for these parameters are largely subjective estimates or educated guesses.
Wide Ranges of Possible Values:
Because many of these factors are not well-constrained, if you change one of the more uncertain parameters even slightly, the final estimate for
𝑁
N (the number of civilizations) can vary by many orders of magnitude. This wide range shows that the equation can lead to very different outcomes based on personal or theoretical assumptions.
The Drake Equation was never meant to provide a precise answer. Instead, it serves as a way to organize our thinking about what conditions might be necessary for the development of extraterrestrial civilizations. It encourages discussion about the relative importance of different factors and highlights where our scientific knowledge is limited.
Is the Drake Equation Accurate or More Opinion-Based?
Accurate?
In the sense of being a strict mathematical model with well-defined inputs and predictable outputs, the Drake Equation is not accurate. Its accuracy is limited by the extreme uncertainties in several of its key parameters.
Many of the terms in the equation, especially those concerning the evolution of life and intelligence, are based on opinion, interpretation, and the single example of Earth. Therefore, while the structure of the equation is logical, the numbers you put into it (and hence the final result) are often more reflective of our current opinions and assumptions than of robust empirical data.
The Drake Equation is a valuable tool for framing the question of extraterrestrial life. It helps scientists and enthusiasts break down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable questions. However, because several of its factors are highly uncertain and subject to personal interpretation, it is more of a conceptual guide—or even a way to stimulate discussion—than a formula that provides a definitive, accurate prediction of the number of extraterrestrial civilizations.
In summary, while the Drake Equation is useful for thinking about the various factors that might lead to the emergence of a civilization, its outputs should be taken as highly speculative estimates rather than precise measurements.

Evaluating non-human intelligence
I'm thinking about the potential for non-human intelligent life forms in the Sol system and neighboring planets, and how this might factor into the equation.
Piecing together possibilities
I'm thinking about how to integrate the emergence of non-human intelligent life, possibly on Mars or Europa, into the Drake Equation for the Sol system and neighboring planets.
It's interesting to think about the hypothesis of intelligent life emerging on Mars or Venus, though Earth remains the only known life-supporting planet in the solar system.
Considering other realms
I'm examining if intelligent life could have emerged on planets like Mars, Venus, or Europa, and how this possibility aligns with the predictions of the Drake Equation.
Hmm, I’m thinking about how non-human intelligent life on Mars or Venus could intersect with the assumptions of the Drake Equation, which seems to focus solely on Earth-based evolution.
I’m piecing together the hypothesis of non-human, advanced, intelligent life in the solar system. Mars, Venus, and Titan present challenges, but Europa and Enceladus might harbor microbial life.

■[今日の英作文] The Dichotomy of Intellectual Engagement in Digital Media Consumption: A Profound Exegesis
In the labyrinthine realm of digital content dissemination, an enigmatic phenomenon has surfaced, challenging our axioms regarding the nexus between content ubiquity and viewer cognitive acumen. This disquisition endeavors to elucidate the paradoxical inverse correlation between video viewership metrics and the intellectual quotient of the audience, propounding that audiovisual content amassing prodigious view counts tends to captivate viewers with a mean Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of 100, while their more esoteric counterparts allure a demographic boasting an average IQ of 120.
Epistemological Framework and Methodological Paradigms
To fathom this counterintuitive paradigm, one must first grapple with the multifarious nature of human cognition and the intricate interplay between intellectual capacity and media predilections. This hypothesis, positing an inverse relationship between a video's popularity and the mean IQ of its viewership, necessitates a rigorous examination of the underlying psycho-sociological and neurocognitive factors that may engender such a paradoxical outcome.
The application of Cognitive Load Theory to media consumption habits provides a plausible explication for this phenomenon. Videos achieving viral status often employ reductionist narratives and readily assimilable information, minimizing cognitive strain. Conversely, less ubiquitous videos may delve into more abstruse subject matter, demanding heightened cognitive engagement and a more sophisticated intellectual framework for comprehensive assimilation.
Algorithmic Hegemony and Epistemic Bubbles
The pervasive influence of recommendation algorithms in content distribution platforms cannot be discounted in this analysis. These algorithmic arbiters, designed to maximize user engagement, may inadvertently engender epistemic bubbles that reinforce existing cognitive predispositions. Individuals with superior IQs may actively seek out more intellectually challenging or esoteric content, thereby circumventing the algorithmic propensity towards homogenization and cognitive stasis.
Socioeconomic Stratification and Information Asymmetry
It is imperative to consider the socioeconomic dimensions that may influence both IQ development and media consumption patterns. Higher IQ individuals often correlate with elevated socioeconomic status, potentially affording them greater access to diverse epistemological resources and fostering a predilection for more intellectually stimulating content. This demographic may be less susceptible to the allure of mainstream, highly-viewed videos that cater to a broader, less discerning audience.
Implications for Content Creators and Platform Architects
The ramifications of this inverse relationship between viewership and viewer IQ are profound for content creators and platform developers alike. It challenges the prevailing paradigm that equates popularity with quality or intellectual value. Content creators targeting a more intellectually discerning audience may need to recalibrate their expectations regarding view counts and engagement metrics, focusing instead on cultivating a dedicated niche audience that values cognitive stimulation over mass appeal.
Conclusion: Navigating the Intellectual Chasm in Digital Media
In summation, the observed dichotomy between high-viewership videos attracting an audience with an average IQ of 100 and their less popular counterparts appealing to viewers with a mean IQ of 120 underscores the complex relationship between intellectual capacity and media consumption in the digital age. This phenomenon necessitates a reevaluation of how we measure content value and success in the online sphere, prompting a more nuanced approach to content creation, curation, and consumption that acknowledges the diverse cognitive needs of the audience spectrum. The implications of this paradigm shift extend far beyond mere metrics, touching upon fundamental questions of epistemology, cognitive diversity, and the very nature of intellectual engagement in the digital era.
