e4325f··on I used to know how to write in Japanese
Words in English are built from characters we can pronounce individually and this extends to words so whilst you might not get it perfect you can at least guess the sound of an English word. This isn't the case for characters in Mandarin or Japanese, no sound is encoded in the strokes, the equivalent of a character.

e4325f··on Apple must pay 13B euros in back taxes, EU's top court rules
This take makes no sense. The whole reason the 13bn exists is because of the tax arrangement. Apple would have gone elsewhere if not for that.
e4325f··on Apple must pay 13B euros in back taxes, EU's top court rules
Apple would have gone elsewhere if the scheme didn't exist, so it's not accurate to say Ireland has missed out on 13bn.

e4325f··on Adam Curtis on the dangers of self-expression (2017)
It doesn't have to be "the Lord", that's just an example, albeit a poor one. Replace that with running and it reflects a quote from the greatest marathon runner of all time Eliud Kipchoge - "Only the disciplined ones in life are free. If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your moods and your passions."

e4325f··on Running Speeds
I'm similar and have been struggling with this for a while. I ran a lot when I was younger and competed, recently got back into it and ran a marathon "properly", it went well but I got a bit fixated on the time and the whole experience was kinda stressful tbh.

I can't seem to just enjoy activities for what they are in the moment. I quickly start setting goals and being competitive. I'm also into bouldering, been doing that years but when I go to the gym I often find myself competing with others in my head (perhaps sub-consciously seeing them as a threat), I do my best not to show it but it's quite frustrating.
