But aren’t these just made in the Roman style by French and Italy once they were no longer Rome?

Sounds like you might enjoy kyabakura in Japan more than strip clubs. Dudes just go in there and drink expensive liquor and chat with pretty women. Although, I think they can get quite pricey.

I don’t understand the appeal of these apps. We have em too here in Japan called LINE and it’s just so bloated and annoying. It’s like having a whole phone os within an app because they have little mini apps (extensions) that you launch. And ads. Jesus, so many ads.

Thank you it worked!

I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to send a DM using the Thunder client on my phone. Is your offer for the guest pass still available??

Yeah, it wasn’t even great before and now they have an administration that’ll bend the rules for any corporation willing to pay.

Isn’t HE the minority there though?

This is so true and it infuriates me. I use self checkout most of the time now because cashiers will wrap my shit in plastic bags even if I tell them not to.

Does his crypto scam count as a pyramid scheme? If so there’s his pyramid.

Omg the illustrations are adorable.

People always say this as some sort of “gotcha” statement, but what we do to them is clearly very different from their normal life cycle and something we have the will to stop doing or somehow make up for the damage unlike other natural events like volcanoes erupting or meteors striking.

It’s not natural selection if we yanked them out of the natural order and kept them from acquiring the skills necessary to survive in the wild in the first place.

This was kind of my thought too. They’re just dudes who want to make money. Sure, yeah, hate them for working with SA, that’s fine, but what were you honestly expecting from these people?

I used to think I could sorta relate with him as he has that underachieving Asian persona.

The reason I got tired of him was how I felt like he kept giving free passes for his costars to do low-hanging racist jokes. Sometimes, a joke based on ethnicity can be bang on, like it makes me feel, “holy shit, that’s so true” because it’s based on a very keen observation. But when it’s a bunch of trashy “comedians” making jokes about small eyes, small cock, ching-chong-chang names, eating dog, etc. based on stereotypes, it’s just insulting.

And now he turns out to be a creep toward women and children, so fuck him even more, I guess. Too bad :(

This I did not know.

I think your teacher was just trying to be correct and didn’t mean she didn’t like it. Some locals might feel shy/awkward about it, but it’s not a taboo or anything — especially if you’re talking to a Ryukyuan :)

All part of the fun I guess, eh? I do have Ubuntu just in case I accidentally make Arch shit its pants.

The family ties can be burdensome at times, but I really love that I’m still hanging out with my cousins in my 40s and our kids do too. We get together on obon, which is a day to honour our ancestors, and clean up our family tomb and get wasted lol.

That’s so awesome that you call us by that name. I wish we still used that as our official name as kind of a fuck you to the Japanese government, but it’s all 沖縄 now for government stuff. We do still see 琉球 used in the private sector though (as well as one of our universities). Are you Taiwanese? I’ve visited Taipei a few times and I really love it there.

Nothing’s blown up on me so far (knock on wood)!
