Insipid

My old coworker texted me today, saying she was working until 5 and if I wanted to come see her. Um, ok . . . I never gave her any signs of romantic interest. 🙃 I had to softly reject her, saying I was busy today.

lol, he's just trying to accuse you of being anti-trans.

It hasn't been neglected; it's all by design. This is where decades of union-busting has led us. I'm starting to think America may never recover. It was economically strong in the 50s and 60s because the rest of the world was still rebuilding from having their infrastructure ravaged by WW2. Now you got boomers alive who remember that time, and they are voting and in power and just don't realize they were mainly born in the right time at the right place. I think having a younger electorate who can relate more to present struggles may be a good start.

I remember reading somewhere that about 40 percent of Americans are currently spending more than they earn. Most of these people are relying on varying degrees of government subsidies, but a lot are just going further into debt, and the number of people having to become indebted is increasing day by day. This is unsustainable.

lol, don't forget his least flattering moment.

Man, that would have been perfect for last month; bold mockery of other companies' advocacy while still making fun of crypto.

Hi, ghostrek might lose his virginity soon.

Elitist edge? I'm a dual Japanese/American citizen. The former prime minister of my country has been assassinated. I really don't care if you criticize Abe or Japan. I just may or may not decide to respond. That's the nature of a public forum after all. Edit: I know there are other dynamics at play here, so I don't hold that particular bit of ignorance about me against you. I've been accusing you of being mumbo, but now I'm thinking you're that one guy who was complaining about cliques about a month ago. If that's you, I apologize.

mumbo, I clearly had asked for naraku's opinion. What you said was more about Japan's practices than Abe's beliefs anyway. Shit on Japan as much as you want, but what made you dislike him? That's a rhetorical question in this moment btw, as I don't care about what you're about to google and opine about.

Anyway, I'm hoping Jada and Will get a chance of redemption in Kill Bill Vol. 3. Probably the only time I'll get a chance to say this, as I feel this incident is far past relevancy now.

https://unevenedge.com/search/?&q="native american"&author=That_One_Guy&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy I do recall you saying you're Native American, for what little it's worth.

You do know why. mumbo

I mean, I'm quite neutral to Abe myself, but why do you think he was that bad?

Like or dislike Abe, this still was a shocking event for Japanese people. Peace of mind is something valuable that has been lost in a country where gun violence is extraordinarily rare.

Yes, there are a few, and no, they aren't out of line. The one near me is next to a Sunoco, and the Marathon typically has its gas a few cents cheaper, lol

I participate more in an international internet forum these days, and one of the people said they write English more often than their native language these days to the point where they don't think they can write something formal like a school essay anymore in their native language. I thought that's quite an interesting phenomenon. I'm also greatly losing interest in befriending stereotypical monolingual Americans who have no interest in other cultures ever again. I suppose I can't hold something like that against certain people, but whatever.

I guess I can use weeb speak again here. otanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu, nameraka hanzaisha

ghostrek is finally gonna fuck holy fuck let party

Yamagami, the suspect, claimed the Unification Church had caused his mother to go into bankruptcy, and he accused Abe of allowing it to come into Japan. This "church" is more like a Jehovah's Witness cult: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Church So there's the actual motive.

I know, but there were still two stores relatively close to me. The pandemic killed them.

Shame, I really liked their cream of spinach, although I'd only get it like twice a year.

lawl, my mother just arrived in Japan two days ago. She's the neurotic and superstitious type too, so. That's all I really have to add. I'm not gonna pretend to know the motivations behind the attack. And although public violence is rarer in Japan, I'm not certain political assassinations actually are that much rarer. And if you go back to the feudal days, they probably were more common than in the West. Charlie Chaplin was almost assassinated when another Japanese prime minister was a few years before the start of WW2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_15_Incident There's also this:

Duolingo is shit anyway. I was more referring to the ability to find resources and native speakers by using the internet.
