While the Secret Service were busy picking their own buttholes, and the media was busy crafting a narrative, Twitter already had pictures of the Trump assassin out.

I have an account to follow artists, mostly Japanese but some Westerners as well. I personally found it to be valuable, as there are some artists I've discovered that never use Pixiv or whatnot and other artists usually boost each other through retweets.

I make it a point to never follow artists that post more politics or personal drama than art. I don't care if it's a leftoid or a rightoid; their hot takes pollute my feed no matter the alignment and it becomes a giant retard magnet. If I wanted that shit, I'd dive in the algorithmic sewer that is the "For you" tab.

Israel took the Baby Hitler thought exercise too literally and think they can assassinate their way out of another holocaust.

The Bank of Japan nearly collapsed the world economy all because they raised interest rates from zero to a fraction of a percent. It's all fake and gay.

Construction in general is a surprisingly corrupt industry. Yakuza liked to use construction companies as fronts for their illegal operations, and there's endless stories of politicians rewarding government contracts to a company owned by their brother or cousin or something.

The fact that Secret Service agents apparently carry tape with them at all times suggests covering cameras is standard operating procedure for them.

It's a recurring pattern that the only thing working flawlessly at launch in AAA slop is the in-game store.

Pigs don't need gigantic fields to graze like cattle and they'll eat fucking anything, a premium for an island nation with limited resources like Japan. Some municipalities will collect food scraps just to feed the pigs.

If you don't like pork, there's always fish. The Japanese love their fish, so much so that they can taste if the fish has been previously frozen.

To be honest, no. The place was already pretty run-down even before the bankruptcy, and it's gotten worse since. Like I said, I don't know how they're still in business, though being a general geek shop than a dedicated rental shop probably helps. They also sell books and manga, though it's ruined for collectors by them putting price stickers on the covers.

Redbox was one of the few nationals that had a better idea for rentals (kiosks in front of supermarkets), and even they went bankrupt.

My local grocery had its own rental shop as well. Now it's a break room for employees to eat their lunch, but I imagine the store from memory whenever I walk by it from time to time.

I never worked there, but my hometown has a rental shop that's somehow still hanging on (despite that the parent company declared bankruptcy and the store rebranded). They somehow have the cash to trade retro games too.

Emotional voters don't care about the incongruousness, only how many magic words you can spam like it's a fucking MMO. The 19th Amendment was a mistake.

If you're allergic to Japanese honorifics, being on a last-name basis would be enough without the stifling formality of constantly using Mr./Ms. Unlike Japan and its 100 layers of social formality, the US wants to be on a first-name basis, instant besties with everyone they meet. You're simply not going to translate that well, so you might as well keep the honorifics to add a certain amount of foreignness in.

I enjoy hearing stories of hunters and farmers becoming war heroes, like the Red Baron or the White Death. Hell, Imperial Germany wanted to make shotguns a war crime given how fucking good American soldiers were with them in WW1, with apocryphal accounts of US troops skeet-shooting grenades out of the air.

Husband is a doctor and they put their whole net worth into the property, so that would be easily within reach. You don't even need to be rich if you're buying a small rundown hotel either.

Doesn't matter how smart you are as a doctor if you let your retarded artist wife handle all of your finances. You're only as smart as your weakest link.

The former British Empire thought it was easier to coup the leaders of Iran than it was to pay their oil royalties after WW2. The current Iranian hostility is completely self-inflicted.
