It soun ds like he died from a massive attack of "Where's my trophy?, brought on by self-righteousness.

I am betting kari wa okama des.

ETA: Apparently the downvote queers don't understand that coddling a child, and teaching them that they are always right may be harmful. I hope your little downvote queer children grow out of it, despite you.

If he was so emotionally upset about a discussion about AI with his mother that he skipped a family outing this boy was too fragile and not long for this world as an adult. Sorry but that’s the truth. Sounds mentally ill.

His mother could not quit playing in the 'virtual world'.

These days the olds can't stay off facebook, "artificial intelligence", and checking their ring cameras every time the wind blows.

Alltrails.com has a lot of Kyoto, Japan area trails mapped and available for download. You can access these maps with GPS only, without cell service.

true but AI is a big deal for our college/HS age kids right now.

Heard a graduation commencement where the founder of one of the current big AI companies spoke, and he started to get boos and jeers from the graduates when he touched on how AI will influence the workforce.

And I bet those graduates, by and large, used GAI to help them with their assignments.

Not for many young adults.

Underrated.
A good book, "98.6 degrees, the art of keeping your arse alive," details how the majority of people that die in the "wilderness" die less than a mile from a road. I don't remember late spring weather in Kyoto specifically, but it can get cold and damp PDQ in mountainous Japan. Even in Tokyo, it can be sweltering during the day, and deep into the night, it is far, far, colder.

quote:

In his entertaining and informative style, Cody stresses that a human can live without food for weeks and without water for about three days or so. But if the body's core temperature dips much below or above the 98.6 degree mark, a person can literally die within hours. It is a concept that many don't take seriously or even consider,

We definitely need more young Americans traveling to developing economies. Create a better appreciation for what they have in their own country.



they won't appreciate it. They will just bitch and complain and say how they have been abroad and how America sucks.

It's building a foundation of experiences that change how you think when you're older. I lived in Japan as a kid, and came out of it thinking Americans were the laziest bastards on the planet. Then, a few years later, we ended up in the middle east, and I had a vastly different perspective, but I had the experience to draw upon in both cases.

The traveling itself doesn't make them say America sucks, that's their Tik Tok feed and "why doesn't America have high speed trains" BS, without recognizing the size difference. And try crossing the Alps via train, versus taking Europe's version of Southwest for $110 for a 40 minute flight.

I went to Wimbledon for a few days in 2002 with Centre Court tickets, then went back about a week later and tried to queue up. I wasn't prepared at all, it was only 45-50 degrees at night, but I had no protection (was sleeping on wet grass) and didn't even try to get in the facility when I woke up. My body was messed up, I destroyed a few sandwiches from Pret A Manger and slept all day to try to recover.

It all made me realize that even 40 degrees can frick you up bad if you're not ready.

As I posted on the Poli Board; I am an AU grad, but this kid was a woke idiot. Natural Selection always goes to work when necessary. Darwin Award winner.

His mother said he "loved the environment" and there was some family "bickering" prior to his leaving them.

Such a strange story. I want to find out how he died. I’m betting pneumonia

He may have looked at one of those freaky aggressive monkeys they have in Japan. Don’t ever stare at the monkeys.

He got “distressed because his Mom used AI. Soy boys like that don’t belong at AU.
