Japanophilia is an interest in, or love of, Japan and all things Japanese. (Its opposite is Japanophobia.) One who has such an interest or love is a Japanophile.[1] In Japanese, the term for Japanophile is "shinnichi" (親日?) from "親" "shin" (しん?), meaning pro- or for something, and "日" "nichi" (にち?), meaning "day" or "sun", but used here to signify "Japanese" as in the word for Japan "nihon" (日本?) or "sun base" with "本" "hon" (ほん?), meaning base, as in the expression "Land of the Rising Sun".[2]

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Carl Peter Thunberg and Philipp Franz von Siebold, who stayed in the Dutch outpost of Dejima, helped introduce Japanese flora, artworks, and other objects to Europe. Some consider them to be among the earliest Japanophiles.[3][4] (This was before the Meiji Restoration in 1868, when Japan became more open to foreign trade.)

id like to vote against merging this article with nihonophilia, as i feel nihonophilia has a more authentic feel and cultural richness that mere japanophilia lacks. not that any of you philistines would appreciate the subtle differences.

remembered the term "back cuts" earlier. not important enough to have its own article; found it under cutting (in line).

quote:

"Back cuts," similarly, are generally considered impermissible because the person allowing the cut loses nothing by having a person enter in behind them, while everyone else behind the cutter does suffer the additional wait.


definition from urban dictionary:

1. chinese cuts
When you let someone in back of the line cut in front of you, then they go behind you in line.

The game feaures three full sized flippers. two of these are at the bottom in the normal position and the other one is located further up the table. It has two regular sized triangular slingshots at the bottom and features an 'alive' kickback ball save feature on the left outlane. There are no under-the-playfied tunnels but the game features two scoops; the Geneva (lower) scoop and the Sarcophagus (upper) scoop. There are four pop-bumpers found on the left side and near them is the 'Ice-cave'; a small hole which, if shot, will give the player a random bonus as well as relighting the alive kickback if unlit. There is a ramp at the back of the table which feeds the left inlane. Next to that there is the "North Pole" VUK (Vertical up Kicker) which kicks up into a ramp that feeds the right inlane. The toy in this game is a model of Frankenstein which, during 'Creature Multiball,' will throw a ball down onto the playfield.

If you don't know about "gang stalking" you can go down that rabbit hole by yourself. Whenever its doubted on the internet a gang of "targeted individuals" show up to insist that its real and happening to them. There efforts to clear wikipedia's reliable source standard(a pretty low bar) are a fun read.

Its possible just mentioning it ITT is enough to summon one them into the thread.

Keep as type of cyberstalking. For an example of gang stalking, see LJ Drama/Something Awful, Cruel.com and many others.
