  • I’m Canadian, but… Fruit, I guess. Some fruit we get from places like Greece, Spain or Italy, both canned and fresh. We could live without them, but surely there’d be moments in the year when we couldn’t get fresh peaches, for example, at the supermarket, without European imports.

    But it’s not a majority. We get quite a bit from South America, North Africa, and, astonishingly, as far as South Africa, too.

    Though there isn’t much else. It’s rarely worth it to import food from another rich country, all the way across the ocean, in today’s world.

    Though interestingly, I bought “canned” soup (actually packaged in a plastic bag) that came from Lithuania, of all places.
















  • If you want to see a lighter take on gambling, maybe Kakegurui or No Game No Life.

    If you want death game stuff, maybe Btooom!. Mirai Nikki is also a classic in the same vein. Much more over the top would be the Fate series (Fate Stay Night, Fate Unlimited Blade Works, Fate Zero, etc.) Much less intense but still enjoyable was Death Parade. And we’re getting pretty far from the theme but theoretically Sword Art Online checks the death game box; reviled by true connoisseurs 🍷, I still think it’s plenty enjoyable if you don’t think about it too deeply.

    If you’re looking for something in the “psychological” category, I can recommend Psycho-Pass for something serious with action, Oshi no ko for something serious with drama ,or Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai! for a lighter take.



  • There are various attempts at categorizing ADHD, of various levels of scientific credibility.

    The one I hear most often are “predominantly inattentive” and “predominantly hyperactive”.

    There are also quack psychology tests that break it down into basically zodiac signs.

    Such distinctions can have their uses for clearer diagnostic pictures or educating people who need to handle others’ ADHDs, but they’re not nearly as important as they are in diabetes. They’re arbitrary and they don’t completely change the mechanism of the condition, as far as we’re aware. It just doesn’t affect much.

    In short, there aren’t really formal distinctions because it wouldn’t be very practically useful to have them, and because it would be hard to agree on universal types.
