You know, hippies smell like shit.

More on the topic of getting ripped off in this country, my mother bought me a shirt in Japan and I noticed the fabric was considerably thicker than American shirts. The shirt couldn't have cost more than 25 dollars . . .

I mean, who do you think mainly seeks out services by sex workers? She probably gave him access, you know.

55 percent cheaper rent . . . and Japan is very limited when it comes to land. 🙃 That tool also says rent is cheaper in Tokyo, a city that once was notoriously expensive, than Pittsburgh.

My mother just came back from Japan, and she thinks it may be cheaper to live in Japan these days. That's right, an island country with few natural resources and heavily dependent on imports is probably cheaper than America. America has become a huge fucking scam.

Who knows? Most likely, the worst case scenario is that I pay a smaller fine with no points added to my license. I know the cops in that area like to do that. Easy way for the municipality to make money, I guess.

Did you rupture her cervix?

Nah, I'm not too worried. This isn't my first citation. The cop seemed nice and just told me to plead not guilty and everything will be fine. He seemed genuine, and my gut has never failed me about cops yet. Waste of time still, but whatever.

I had to go to the magistrate's office to plead not guilty for failing to stop at a stop sign, and right before the office I had to to wait for a turn. Someone ran the stop sign going over 40mph, and if I hadn't been cautious I would have been hit. The irony of life. 🙃

I used to drink coffee all the time when I worked overnight. When I quit working overnight, I also quit coffee and had no side effects. I don't think caffeine does much to me anyway. I've drunk two cups to try to stay awake only to fall into a deep slumber. If only my body treated nicotine the same way. Nicotine addiction is a real bitch.

@SwimModSponges What program are you using? craiyon still? There are quite a few out there now.

Well, I suppose it's better than the opposite direction.

I mean, I'm still not 30 yet, but yes I'm getting old.

German has schadenfreude, but Japanese also has a similar saying. 他人の涙は蜜 (ta'nin no namida wa mitsu) "the tears of another person are honey." No wonder. 🙃

What do you mean? Rotating your tires five times before needing new ones?

Yes. I already knew my tires were in shit shape. I hadn't had proper alignment done in years, so it wore the tires prematurely, but fortunately it had warranty on it. Got four new tires for fifty percent off because of my irresponsibilty.

Ah, sweet traction.

What kind of obvious . . ? @helpme Get in here.

Kakegurui was absolute cringe . . . I'll probably watch this.

Damn, I'll spare you the obvious fuggs joke.

I think they're just called creeps, lol

Grease was pretty corny af, not gonna lie.

You do realize I'm Japanese, right? Besides that point, have been paying attention to the banking crisis going on right now? That's really fucked up. They don't have FDIC like America, so a lot of Chinese citizens don't have access to their entire life savings. And they're supposed to be "communist." 🙃
