アサクリの弥助・黒人奴隷と、そこから派生したロックリー・岡美穂子両氏の言説の元ネタっぽいものを見つけたので要約しておく。
○著者：David Wright
○題名：The Use of Race and Racial Perceptions among Asians and Blacks: The Case of the Japanese and African Ameridans
○出典：1998年、一橋大学社会学ジャーナル（https://hermes-ir.lib.hit-u.ac.jp/hermes/ir/re/8321/）
・16世紀半ばから、ポルトガル人の奴隷等としてかなりの数の黒人が日本を訪れていた。
・日本人は彼らに好意的で、彼らは尊敬の対象だった。特に弥助という者について、信長は厚遇した。
・ポルトガル人が頻繁に黒人奴隷を献上するので、日本人も彼らを見下すようになり、明治維新の頃にはその見方が定着していた。
・というか白人との接触前から日本では白い肌が美しいと言われてたけどね。（その割にはお歯黒は何故？）
・一方で、肌の黒い聖人もいたことから黒い肌に対する欧米のような差別感情は持ってなかった。オランダから入れ知恵されてたのに不思議だね。
（以下開国時の話が続く）
この、「日本人は彼らを尊敬していた」「肌の黒い聖者もいた」が、ロックリー・岡美穂子両氏による「弥助は神とされた」等に変換されていったのではないだろうか。
なお、知る限り弥助を神とした、または神に近かった、神のようだったなどとする史料は発見されておらず、専門家によるものでは、ロックリー氏や岡美穂子氏が述べているものがすべてのようだ。
特に八幡神は南無八幡大菩薩（那須与一）で有名な武士の神であり、これになぞらえるというのはとてつもない厚遇だし、文献にも残っていると思うのだが何を根拠にされたのだろうか。
信長に関する史料では弥助のビジュアルイメージが「八幡神に近かった」と言われています。あるいは、中国の史料ではアフリカ系の人を「黒鬼」と表記している。ですから、実用的な屈強さを求めただけでなく、そういう人間を自分の近くに置くことで「こんなに強いヤツを従えているんだ」という格付けに役立つと考えた、イメージ戦略の部分もあったと思います。
弥助もそもそもアフリカ大陸内の部族間闘争で生け捕りにされ、外国人に売られたといわれます。
（略）
ロックリー・トーマス氏によると、当時の都だった京都の住民と同様、信長は弥助の背丈や体格、肌の色に畏怖の念を抱いたという。
（略）
信長は弥助を「大黒天」ではないかと考えた。大黒天は豊穣（ほうじょう）の神で、寺院では通常、黒い像によって表現されている。信長は弥助の肌の色は墨によるものだろうと思い、こすり落とそうとした。本当に黒人だと納得すると、直ちに宴会を開いて敬意を表したという。
→通常の中国語ではその通りで、日本語に訳すと「黒い幽霊」といった意味合いになる。
あとは道教では鬼というのは死後の世界の人に該当するもので、鬼世界があって普通に鬼が暮らしていて鬼の役人がいたりもする。
いずれにしても中国語の「鬼」には日本のように「強い」「屈強な」という意味はない。（例えば「悪党（中世）」・「悪源太（源義平）」・「悪太郎（堀内恒夫）」という使い方はしない）。
なので、岡美穂子氏が「屈強な黒人」「神格化」という意味で取り上げたのは、解釈の誤りのように思う。御本人の説明を求めたいところだが。
ただ中国史については良く分からないので、昔はそういう使い方をしていたというのであれば補足よろしく。
→弥助はモザンビーク出身って記述があるんだけど、前半生は全くの不明で、岡美穂子氏が「部族間闘争の結果生け捕りになった」とした根拠は不明。
当時のモザンビークってインド人も大勢住み着いてるので、インド人とか混血の可能性は十分にある。
弥助の出身の部族やカトリックの宣教師が同性愛に寛容だった可能性はほぼゼロと言って良いが、まぁ、いまは16世紀ではなく、21世紀、2024年ですからね
弥助も出てくる仁王のコエテクは現代的な時代劇(フィクション)として『Rise of the Ronin』(PS5独占タイトル)出してます
ほんで、『Rise of the Ronin』の主人公キャラクターは様々な人種に設定できるし、劇中で同性との恋愛イベントもあるわけなんだけど、別に批判はどこからも出てないのよね
それは、極めて現代的な見た目のデザインからしてフィクションとわかるのはもちろんのこと、
開発者は歴史的正確さについてアピールしてない上に、ゲームを始める前にも念押しで下記のように出るから
『本タイトルは日本の史実から着想を得たフィクションです。
ゲームを通じて歴史上の人物や出来事を描いていますが、 本タイトルの開発、販売に携わったチームの思想や価値観を表すものではありません。』
アサクリでもちゃんと似たような文言は出るもん！！！って言うけど、Rise of the Ronin と アサクリ シャドウズ が違ったところは、
何故か BBC などのニュースメディア や Xbox や 各種ゲームメディアのインタビューで『なろーじゃぱんです！』アピールではなく、
下記のように言って回った事に尽きるよね
＜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＞
＜実在した歴史上の人物や当時の出来事を忠実に描いているので、封建時代の日本を舞台にゲームを楽しみながら、この素晴らしい時代について学ぶことができます＞
言って回ってることが確認できる一例：

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.

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。

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.

正直者は損をするとかいうけれど、やはり嘘を付かない誠実さは美徳というか、集団生活を送る上での最低限の条件に思う
人生を困難にするのは空気を読まずバカ正直に受け答えをすることではなく、
Betsy and Solomon lived happily through that winter and spring, and before summer came we had made up our minds to return to the East. What should we do with the owls? They would be a great deal of trouble to some one. They required an immense amount of petting, and a frequent supply of perfectly fresh meat. No matter how busy we were, one of us had to go to the butcher every other day.
We began to inquire among our friends who would like a nice, affectionate pair of owls? There seemed no great eagerness on the part of any one to(23) take the pets we so much valued. Plans for their future worried me so much that at last I said to my sister, “We will take them East with us.”
The owls, who were to take so long a journey, became objects of interest to our friends, and at a farewell tea given to us, a smartly dressed young man vowed that he must take leave of Solomon and Betsy. Calling for a broom, he slowly passed it to and fro over the carpet before them, while they sat looking at him with lifted ear tufts that betrayed great interest in his movements.
We trembled a little in view of our past moving experiences, but we were devoted to the little creatures and, when the time came, we cheerfully boarded the overland train at Oakland.
We had with us Betsy and Solomon in their large cage, and in a little cage a pair of strawberry finches, so called because their breasts are dotted like a strawberry. A friend had requested us to bring them East for her. We had also a dog—not Teddy, that had only been lent to us; but our own Irish setter Nita, one of the most lovable and interesting animals that I have ever owned.
The chipmunk was no longer with us. He had not seemed happy in the aviary—indeed, he lay down in it and threw me a cunning look, as if to say, “I will die if you don’t let me out of this.” So I gave him the freedom of the house. That pleased him, and for a few days he was very diligent in assisting us with our housekeeping by picking(24) all the crumbs off the floors and eating them. Then he disappeared, and I hope was happy ever after among the superb oak trees of the university grounds close to us.
When we started for the East, the pets, of course, had to go into the baggage car, and I must say here for the benefit of those persons who wish to travel with animals and birds, that there is good accommodation for them on overland trains. Sometimes we bought tickets for them, sometimes they had to go in an express car, sometimes we tipped the baggagemasters, but the sums spent were not exorbitant, and we found everywhere provision made for pets. You cannot take them in your rooms in hotels, but there is a place for them somewhere, and they will be brought to you whenever you wish to see them, or to give them exercise. We were on several different railway lines, and visited eight different cities, and the dog and birds, upon arriving in eastern Canada, seemed none the worse for their trip.
However, I would not by any means encourage the transportation of animals. Indeed, my feelings on the subject, since I understand the horrors animals and birds endure while being whirled from one place to another, are rather too strong for utterance. I would only say that in a case like mine, where separation between an owner and pets would mean unhappiness, it is better for both to endure a few days or weeks of travel. Then the case of animals(25) and birds traveling with some one who sees and encourages them every day is different from the case of unfortunate creatures sent off alone.
Our Nita was taken out of the car at every station where it was possible to exercise her, and one of us would run into restaurants along the route to obtain fresh meat for the owls. Their cage was closely covered, but whenever they heard us coming they hooted, and as no one seemed to guess what they were, they created a great deal of interest. My sister and I were amused one evening in Salt Lake City to see a man bending over the cage with an air of perplexity.
“They must be pollies,” he said at last, and yet his face showed that he did not think those were parrot noises issuing from within.
I remember one evening on arriving in Albany, New York, causing slight consternation in the hotel by a demand for raw meat. We hastened to explain that we did not want it for ourselves, and finally obtained what we wished.
As soon as we arrived home in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the owls were put downstairs in a nice, dry basement. They soon found their way upstairs, where the whole family was prepared to welcome them on account of their pretty ways and their love for caresses.
Strange to say, they took a liking to my father, who did not notice them particularly, and a mischievous dislike to my mother, who was disposed to(26) pet them. They used to fly on her head whenever they saw her. Their little claws were sharp and unpleasant to her scalp. We could not imagine why they selected her head unless it was that her gray hair attracted them. However, we had a French Acadian maid called Lizzie, whose hair was jet black, and they disliked her even more than they did my mother.
Lizzie, to get to her storeroom, had to cross the furnace-room where the owls usually were, and she soon began to complain bitterly of them.
“Dey watch me,” she said indignantly, “dey fly on my head, dey scratch me, an’ pull out my hairpins, an’ make my head sore.”
“Why don’t you push them off, Lizzie?” I asked, “they are only tiny things.”
“Dey won’t go—dey hold on an’ beat me,” she replied, and soon the poor girl had to arm herself with a switch when she went near them.
Lizzie was a descendant of the veritable Acadians mentioned in Longfellow’s “Evangeline,” of whom there are several thousand in Nova Scotia. My mother was attached to her, and at last she said, “I will not have Lizzie worried. Bring the owls up in my bathroom.”
There they seemed perfectly happy, sitting watching the sparrows from the window and teasing my long-suffering mother, who was obliged to give up using gas in this bathroom, for very often the owls put it out by flying at it.
(27)
One never heard them coming. I did not before this realize how noiseless the flight of an owl is. One did not dream they were near till there was a breath of air fanning one’s cheek. After we gave up the gas, for fear they would burn themselves, we decided to use a candle. It was absolutely necessary to have an unshaded light, for they would perch on any globe shading a flame, and would burn their feet.
The candle was more fun for them than the gas, for it had a smaller flame, and was more easily extinguished, and usually on entering the room, away would go the light, and we would hear in the corner a laughing voice, saying “Too, who, who, who, who!”
The best joke of all for the owls was to put out the candle when one was taking a bath, and I must say I heard considerable grumbling from the family on the subject. It seemed impossible to shade the light from them, and to find one’s self in the dark in the midst of a good splash, to have to emerge from the tub, dripping and cross, and search for matches, was certainly not calculated to add to one’s affection for Solomon and Betsy. However, they were members of the family, and as George Eliot says, “The members of your family are like the nose on your face—you have got to put up with it, seeing you can’t get rid of it.”
Alas! the time soon came when we had to lament the death of one of our troublesome but beloved pets.
Betsy one day partook heartily of a raw fish head,(28) and in spite of remedies applied, sickened rapidly and sank into a dying condition.
I was surprised to find what a hold the little thing had taken on my affection. When her soft, gray body became cold, I held her in my hand close to the fire and, with tears in my eyes, wished for a miracle to restore her to health.
She lay quietly until just before she died. Then she opened her eyes and I called to the other members of the family to come and see their strange expression. They became luminous and beautiful, and dilated in a peculiar way. We hear of the eyes of dying persons lighting up wonderfully, and this strange illumination of little Betsy’s eyes reminded me of such cases.
Even after death she lay with those wide-open eyes, and feeling that I had lost a friend, I put down her little dead body. It was impossible for me to conceal my emotion, and my mother, who had quite forgotten Betsy’s hostility to her, generously took the little feathered creature to a taxidermist.
I may say that Betsy was the first and last bird I shall ever have stuffed. I dare say the man did the work as well as it could be done, but I gazed in dismay at my Betsy when she came home. That stiff little creature sitting on a stick, with glazed eyes and motionless body, could not be the pretty little bird whose every motion was grace. Ever since the day of Betsy’s death, I can feel no admiration for a dead bird. Indeed, I turn sometimes with a shudder(29) from the agonized postures, the horrible eyes of birds in my sister women’s hats—and yet I used to wear them myself. My present conviction shows what education will do. If you like and study live birds, you won’t want to wear dead ones.
After Betsy’s death Solomon seemed so lonely that I resolved to buy him a companion. I chose a robin, and bought him for two dollars from a woman who kept a small shop. A naturalist friend warned me that I would have trouble, but I said remonstratingly, “My owl is not like other owls. He has been brought up like a baby. He does not know that his ancestors killed little birds.”
Alas! When my robin had got beautifully tame, when he would hop about after me, and put his pretty head on one side while I dug in the earth for worms for him, when he was apparently on the best of terms with Sollie, I came home one day to a dreadful discovery. Sollie was flying about with the robin’s body firmly clutched in one claw. He had killed and partly eaten him. I caught him, took the robin away from him, and upbraided him severely.
“Too, who, who, who who,” he said—apologetically, it seemed to me, “instinct was too strong for me. I got tired of playing with him, and thought I would see what he tasted like.”
I could not say too much to him. What about the innocent lambs and calves, of which Sollie’s owners had partaken?
(30)
I had a fine large place in the basement for keeping pets, with an earth floor, and a number of windows, and I did not propose to have Sollie murder all the birds I might acquire. So, one end of this room was wired off for him. He had a window in this cage overlooking the garden, and it was large enough for me to go in and walk about, while talking to him. He seemed happy enough there, and while gazing into the garden or watching the rabbits, guineapigs, and other pets in the large part of the room, often indulged in long, contented spells of cooing—not hooting.
In 1902 I was obliged to leave him for a six months’ trip to Europe. He was much petted by my sister, and I think spent most of his time upstairs with the family. When I returned home I brought, among other birds, a handsome Brazil cardinal. I stood admiring him as he stepped out of his traveling cage and flew around the aviary. Unfortunately, instead of choosing a perch, he flattened himself against the wire netting in Sollie’s corner.
I was looking right at him and the owl, and I never saw anything but lightning equal the celerity of Sollie’s flight, as he precipitated himself against the netting and caught at my cardinal’s showy red crest. The cardinal screamed like a baby, and I ran to release him, marveling that the owl could so insinuate his little claws through the fine mesh of the wire. However, he could do it, and he gripped the struggling cardinal by the long, hair-like(31) topknot, until I uncurled the wicked little claws. A bunch of red feathers fell to the ground, and the dismayed cardinal flew into a corner.
“Sollie,” I said, going into his cage and taking him in my hand, “how could you be so cruel to that new bird?”
“Oh, coo, coo, coo, coo,” he replied in a delightfully soft little voice, and gently resting his naughty little beak against my face. “You had better come upstairs,” I said, “I am afraid to leave you down here with that poor cardinal. You will be catching him again.”
He cooed once more. This just suited him, and he spent the rest of his life in regions above. I knew that he would probably not live as long in captivity as he would have done if his lot had been cast in the California foothills. His life was too unnatural. In their native state, owls eat their prey whole, and after a time disgorge pellets of bones, feathers, hairs, and scales, the remnants of food that cannot be digested.
My owls, on account of their upbringing, wanted their food cleaned for them. Betsy, one day, after much persuasion, swallowed a mouse to oblige me, but she was such a dismal picture as she sat for a long time with the tail hanging out of her beak that I never offered her another.
I tried to keep Solomon in condition by giving him, or forcing him to take, foreign substances, but my plan only worked for a time.

I always dreaded the inevitable, and one winter day in 1903 I looked sharply at him, as he called to me when I entered the house after being away for a few hours. “That bird is ill!” I said.
No other member of the family saw any change in him, but when one keeps birds and becomes familiar with the appearance of each one, they all have different facial and bodily expressions, and one becomes extremely susceptible to the slightest change. As I examined Sollie, my heart sank within me, and I began to inquire what he had been eating. He had partaken freely of boiled egg, meat, and charcoal. I gave him a dose of olive oil, and I must say that the best bird or beast to take medicine is an owl. Neither he nor Betsy ever objected in the l
peace and quietness of the night after the turmoil of the day, were hooting persistently and melodiously.
“The landlady and the boarders,” gasped my sister; “they will hear and wake up. Can’t you stop the little wretches?”
I sprang out of bed, and addressed a solemn remonstrance to Solomon and Betsy. They were exceedingly glad to see me, and distending their little throats, continued to hoot, their clear, sweet young voices carrying only too well on the still Californian night air.
Then the chipmunk woke up and began to slide up and down an inclined piece of wood in his part of the cage. We were in despair. We could not sleep, until I had the happy thought of giving the owls a bath. I seized Betsy, held her in a basin of water, and wet her feathers considerably. Then I served Solomon in the same way, and for the rest of the night the tiny little things occupied themselves in smoothing their wet plumage. The chipmunk quieted down, and we had peace.

When we got into the cottage I had a carpenter build a small aviary at the back of it, with a box for rainy weather. The nights were not too cold for my hardy birds. Indeed, they were not too cold for many semi-tropical ones. I found a bird fancier not far from me, who had built a good-sized, open-air aviary, where he kept canaries and foreign finches all the year round, with only a partly open, glass shelter for the birds to use when it rained.
My sparrowhawk did not seem unhappy in my aviary, but he never had the contented, comfortable expression that the owls had. His apathy was pathetic, and the expression of his beautiful, cruel eyes was an unsatisfied one. In time, I should have allowed him to go, but suddenly he fell ill. I think I overfed him, for I got him into the habit of taking a late supper, always leaning out the window and handing him a piece of meat on the end of a stick before I went to bed.
I brought him into the warm kitchen, where he moped about for a few days. Just before he died he came hopping toward the parlor, where I sat entertaining a friend. I often took him in there on the broad windowsill and talked to him as I sat sewing.
He stood in the doorway, gave me a peculiar look, as if to say, “I would come in if you were alone,” hopped back to the kitchen, and in a short time was no more.
My sister and I mourned sincerely for our pretty bird, and I had the uncomfortable feeling that I(20) might have done better if I had left him in his own habitat—but then he might have starved to death if his parents had not found him. Would death by starvation have been any more painful than his death with me? Possibly some larger creature might have killed him swiftly and mercifully—it was a puzzling case, and I resolved to give up worrying about it. I had done what I considered was best, and I tried to console myself for his death in petting the dear little owls that had become so tame that they called to my sister and me whenever they saw us, and loved to have us take them in our hands and caress them.
About them I had no misgivings. They would certainly have died if I had not adopted them, and there was no question about their happiness. They were satisfied with a state of captivity. They had so far lost one of their owl habits, for they kept awake nearly all day, and slept nearly all night—and they could see quite well in the most brilliant Californian sunlight, and that is pretty brilliant. A cat or a dog many yards distant would cause them to raise excitedly the queer little ear tufts that play so prominent a part in the facial expression of some owls, and they would crack their beaks together and hiss angrily if the enemy came too near.
Cats and dogs frightened them, and a broom merely excited them. When strangers wanted to see the elevation of these tufts, a broom, swiftly passed over the floor, would cause Solomon and(21) Betsy to become very wide awake, with feather tufts straight up in the air. I never saw them abjectly and horribly frightened but once. A lady had brought her handsome parrot into the room where the owls were. The poor little mites put up their ear tufts, swayed to and fro on their perch, and instead of packing their feathers and becoming thin and elongated in appearance, as they did for cats and dogs, they puffed themselves out, snapped their beaks, and uttered the loudest hissing noise I had ever heard from them.
From their extremity of fear I concluded that their instinct told them this danger was so imminent that they must make themselves as formidable as possible.
The parrot was of course quickly removed, and I took care that they should never again see another one.
I want to display mathematical formulas in SSG, so I have installed the KaTeX plugin.
In the case of SSG (honkit) that I use, I want to convert the part to a mathematical formula into
Enclose it in $ (dollar mark) and write the contents in so-called TeX.
In fact, the github site also supports math rendering.
I think it's pretty familiar.
I wanted to mention Excel's built-in functions. What are Excel functions?
I use the dollar mark when I want to keep the cell fixed even if it gets copied and pasted.
I want the dollars to remain dollars inside the code block.
For example on the markdown source side
```markdown
=\$A\$2
````
I thought I could escape it by adding a backslash, so that's what I did.
In the case of the SSG that I use, when converted to html,
````
\{% math_inline %}A\{% endmath_inline %}2
````
As for the hosting method, I also store the html files in a GIT repository and host them on the `vercel.app` site. Regarding markdown → html, I do it in the local environment instead of using GitHub Actions.
I confirmed that if I use full-width instead of half-width for the dollar, it would not be recognized, so I confirmed that it would work.
But this isn't a fundamental solution, is it?
Also, open the html file and use the batch replacement function to replace `{% math_inline %}` and `{% endmath_inline %}` with dollars. It seems that you need some wisdom to selectively replace only the fence code blocks at once.
https://github.com/zimmem/honkit-plugin-katex
Markdown's fence code block is a guy who repeats backticks three times.
In some cases, the only option is to ask the author to ignore the dollar sign conversion.
The author of the plugin seems to have stopped development a long time ago.
It seems like they won't be able to respond.
Also, in the case of inline math, it says to surround it with two dollars each, and in the case of block math, it says to surround it with two dollars + a new line, which is different from the normal syntax. I'm curious.
However, it will work even if you write it in the md source using normal syntax.

Media made us restrict our movements during COVID-19, and it had a very big impact. I checked Twitter and TV every day to see how many people were getting COVID-19, being hospitalized, and dying. Japanese TV showed videos of people on artificial respirators in hospitals, which was shocking and made me afraid to go out. I worried that if I got COVID-19, I would end up in the hospital on a respirator and might die. After watching those shows, I couldn't watch regular news on TV because I was so scared of COVID-19.
I stayed home for a long time, but I caught the virus from my father in September 2023. He had been coughing a lot since 2020 because of another disease, so I thought it was just that. But in the middle of September, his cough sounded different, so I thought it might be COVID-19. I was planning to go to Canada at that time, but things turned out badly. Both my mother and I got COVID-19 and had a very tough time. It was hard to breathe, but after a month, my symptoms weren't as bad. I didn't need to be hospitalized. I think that sometimes watching social media or TV can give us negative information that restricts our movements, but in this case, it was too much.

In the months following publication, we noticed that our case report has gained significant public attention, particularly on social media platforms. More specifically, our case report has been largely misinterpreted and used as a study providing evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccination can trigger a phenomenon which has non-scientifically been referred to as “turbo cancer”. First of all, we wish to unequivocally disassociate ourselves from this term. In our case report, there is not a single reference to a condition called “turbo cancer”, nor do we recognize it as a legitimate medical term.
(私たちの症例報告が、特にソーシャル メディア プラットフォームで大きな注目を集めていることに気づきました。私たちの症例報告は大きく誤解され、mRNA COVID-19ワクチン接種が非科学的に「ターボ癌」と呼ばれる現象を引き起こす可能性があるという証拠を提供する研究として使用されてきました。まず第一に、私たちはこの用語から明確に切り離したいと考えています。私たちの症例報告には、「ターボ癌」と呼ばれる状態への言及は一つもありませんし、それが正当な医学用語であるとは認識していません。)
I mean sure, you can totally go full retard and butcher the fuck out of grammar and still perfectly sound natural so long as that’s what a native speaker would say (i.e. baby talk). But who’s gonna take you seriously if you talk like that anywhere you go? Every place has its established norm and if you deviate from it you might be ignored or worse bullied for being a nuisance, which is the case for me when I post on 4chan; I get far less (you)s when I write differently from how the majority of them does. If you wanna blend in and not stand out, it’s important to adjust the formality and wording to match the situation, which is what native speakers would normally do (And yes, most of what’s on 4chan, reddit or whatever else is far more complex than what we’ve written here in English, just go look at a random thread like this one: https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/464155987/elon-musk-is-retarded). Only using basic vocab/grammar/rhetoric, etc. only takes you so far.
(Btw I also was once told by a British that she couldn’t tell me apart from a native speaker, though I don’t think I’m even remotely close to being one cuz of these reasons.)
色々開発に携わってきたが大体2パターンある
Case month when 1 then ~って感じのコード。thenの後にif文や更にCase文がある。この辺りに28日までとか書いてある。
ソースレビューがあったら指摘する内容だが機能していない場合はこのレベルが来る。オフショアで海外に出すとマジでこんなの書いてくる。指摘するとはいはい言うけどどうすれば良いのか悩む。
アーキテクチャ次第だが単に29までに変更すれば良い場合もあるが、たまに他にも影響したりして結構絶望する。月末日取得で書いてたら説教レベル
大体Case文パターンでロジックが考えられない場合国内外が提案してくるのがマスタ化だ。発注元も何故か柔軟な対応が出来るからと賛成してくる
結果年1や月1のマスタ設定が必要になり運悪いタイミングで担当者が閏年を忘れてると大体起きる。賛成した人らは運用しないので気楽だ。
こっちはマスタ設定すれば良いのだが、閏年ですよ忘れていませんかチェックは無いくせに登録出来るのは翌日以降チェックはしっかり入ってたりする。
設計段階で考慮すれば良いのだがマスタは何故か新人の仕事となり結果糞仕様にスキル不足が重なって復旧に時間がかかったりする。もちろん新人に罪は無い。日付をキーにするマスタなんて要件で考えた奴が悪い
閏年に影響されない業務やフローにする。そもそも年月日を指定するか2/28の次は3/1だと明示しない限りはシステムは閏年でバグを起こさない。
もし日付チェックを自作の変なロジックで作って発生させてたら20代なら許すが30代以上は即引退して他の仕事探したほうが良い。変に生き残って上流に行くと出来上がるのは意味の分からない事を言うステークホルダーという老害で将来はコンサルとか名乗って中小零細で惨めなシステム論を語る粗大ゴミだ

Was told "no foreigners" by a clinic
I just recently moved to a new area in Tokyo, I called a nearby clinic to make a reservation (in Japanese) and pretty quickly into the conversation, the receptionist asked if I could go somewhere else instead. When I asked why, she clearly and blatantly said "they don't take foreigners." I was shocked so I asked again just to make sure I heard right and again she said they don't take foreigners.
When I accused the clinic of discrimination they tried to deny it and claim that "it's difficult to communicate with foreigners," though I've never had that issue at any other Japanese speaking only clinic or hospital.
If this were just a bar or something I'd drop it, but the fact that a CLINIC can blatantly discriminate against patients seems insane to me. I'm not expecting much sadly, but is there anywhere I can report them?
I'm paranoid about just leaving bad reviews because I've seen a first hand case of someone getting sued over one.
UPDATE:
I called a "patient voice" hotline for reporting these sort of things. I explained the situation and they said they would contact the clinic. They later updated me and said they were actually able to talk to the doctor, and he just doubled down and insisted they did nothing wrong because "communication with foreigners is difficult." After that they basically could not do anything else other than offer sympathy lol...
[患者の声相談窓口 東京都保健医療局 (tokyo.lg.jp)](https://www.hokeniryo.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/iryo/sodan/madoguchi.html)
I also called this government hotline. First they tried to refer me back to the patient voice hotline. After I explained the results from patient voice, they said they are going to determine if it warrants an investigation, which would take 2-3 weeks. They also warned that the clinic is allowed to decline the investigation... so honestly I'm expecting nothing. But they said they would contact me again in 2-3 weeks.

Local police just said different hospitals have different rules and nothing can be done, just go to a different clinic.
患者の声相談窓口 東京都保健医療局 に相談してもクリニックが拒否をしたらそれ以上に何もせず同情しただけ。
いまは 人権擁護局 に相談中とのこと。でもクリニックは人権擁護局からの調査を拒否できるらしい。

人はなぜワクチン反対派になるのか ―コロナ禍におけるワクチンツイートの分析―
https://www.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/press/pr2024-02-05-001
〈研究の内容〉
本研究はまず、2021年1月から12月までに収集された「ワクチン」を含む約1億件のツイートを収集し、機械学習を用いて「ワクチン賛成ツイート」「ワクチン政策批判ツイート」「ワクチン反対ツイート」の3クラスタを抽出した。次に、「ワクチン反対ツイート」を多くつぶやいたりリツイートしているアカウントを特定し、「ワクチン反対ツイート拡散アカウント」として定義した。そして、「ワクチン反対ツイート拡散アカウント」を多くフォローしているユーザを「ワクチン反対派」として定義した。
上記プレスリリースの中で「賛成」というワードは4回しか使われておらず、そのいずれにも「賛成派」の定義を示す文というものは存在しない。
幸いにも元論文がPublicで公開されているため、主にMethod項を見てまとめていきたい。
1. 「ワクチン」「vaccine」を含む日本語ツイート98,805,971個を取得する。
3. ツイートのクラスタリングを行い、20種のクラスターが作成される。
4. 上位3つ(検証ツイートの99%・リツイートの98%を占める)のクラスター(「ワクチン賛成ツイート;pro-vaccine tweets」「ワクチン政策批判ツイート;opposition to the government’s vaccine policy」「ワクチン反対ツイート;anti-vaccine tweets」)を検討する。
5. 上記3クラスターのツイートを行ったアカウントとRTしたアカウントを集計する(「ワクチン賛成ツイート拡散アカウント:1,382,065」「政府批判拡散アカウント:248,699」「ワクチン反対ツイート拡散アカウント:196,936」)。
6. 上記3種のアカウントからそれぞれ50,000アカウントずつ無作為に抽出し、フォロー中のワクチン反対ツイート拡散アカウントの割合を算出する。
7. "ワクチン反対ツイート拡散アカウント/総フォローアカウント"の割合でソートし、上位25%(全体の12.3%以上)を"High anti-vaccine group"、下位25%(全体の0.24%未満)を"Low anti-vaccine group"とする。
ということで増田冒頭の「フォローアカウントのうち、ワクチン反対ツイートをした/RTしたアカウントの割合が少ないアカウント」ということになる。
これを「賛成派」という言葉で表現するのは実態を表しているようにはみえない。
しかし、元論文においてはこのような表現がほぼされていないといっていい。
基本的に日本語プレスリリースにおける「反対派」「賛成派」は上記メソッドで出たHigh group/Low groupとして表現されている。「反ワクチン性が高いグループ」「反ワクチン性が低いグループ」といったところ。
ただ、「ワクチン反対派」に類するフレーズは度々使われている(元からしてHigh/Low anti-vaccine groupだし)。
一方のLow groupでは、anti-vaccineに対してpro-vaccineという表現が使われている。が、ほぼ全ての用法で発言・ツイートに対してのみ使われており人に対して使われるケースは殆どない(イントロダクションに一回だけある)。
論文では誤解がないような表現にしているにも関わらずプレスリリースで「賛成派」という適切にはみえない表現を使うのはミスリーディングと言われても仕方ないのではないかと感じる。
