Man, some of us have serious ADHD and just can't help it though

Not fair.

Fun fact, if you're ADHD it's really hard to bring your meds into Japan. They really do NOT want stimulants here, I've had to go without for the past 3 weeks.

How so?

Someone with poor finances is probably more likely to take a bribe of some sort.

Depends. I don't think it's reasonable unless they are involved in finances in some way (payroll->banker->accountant etc.), and there's absolutely no way every job needs it. You don't need to credit check your cashiers or your manufacturing plant workers.

Amateur firearm enthusiast. I enjoy trying to educate and assist others, especially people who inherited things they know nothing about.

That's super cool and admirable. Lots of people who inherit guns just turn them in because they've never owned one before, despite it being a pretty personal item for whoever owned it before. It's a shame.

Lockpicking, it's not something I can tell many IRL people because it weirds them out.

I used to be really into collecting pocket knives too, but stopped when I was saving for my wedding/honeymoon. Hard to justify $400-$500 dollar hobby purchases when you're saving for life events.

the death note dub is excruciating, is this a meme list? i never saw the others here

The Death Note dub is amazing, the ridiculousness of it matches the energy of the show perfectly

Dungeater posted...

thats fine im well aware of the consensus

not familiar with this one

WHA

watch it IMMEDIATELY. There are only 6 episodes.

It was formative for me, and the first anime I ever watched.

There are only four good English dubs:

FLCL
Naruto
FMA/FMAB
Death Note

Raw beef sandwiches are a thing in Wisconsin for the holidays, I've eaten them a lot without ever getting sick.

They have them in MN too. Raw ground meat tends to be a lot riskier than raw cuts of meat, though.

You can't get chicken that is "salmonella free" what you can do is manually verify there are no parasites and then cut away the exterior layer of the chicken where the bacteria is. It's safe to eat (as long as it's prepared hygienically) but I think it plain tastes gross.

Fair enough. I didn't think it tasted gross, it was a very light tasting meat and mostly tasted like whatever you dipped it in.

Didn't get sick, but I think japanese food standards are way higher than the US. I've had raw chicken, horse, and beef (the last two multiple times), as well as raw eggs constantly. You can get raw egg all over the place in Japan.

Enjoy the salmonella and parasites

They use a specific breed of chicken that is supposedly salmonella/parasite free. I think they're extremely careful about the animals they use for raw meat here.

i've had undercooked chicken a few times and felt like throwing up

This was different tbf, I think they use a breed of chicken that is confirmed to be salmonella free for this. Still, not super common. I recommend trying it if you come, just something you can't get in the US.

I did hear the yen is weaker, so I can see people wanting to buy stuff in Japan.

People are saying it might go to 200-250JPY-USD near the end of the year, which is crazy

I've spent the last 3 weeks in Japan, and the bang for your buck is insane

Sorry, I like living in the state with both more in-state lakes and on more great lakes than Minnesota.

We don't have to nail bite every election AND we have legal weed, so I guess it's your loss

Also Duluth beats Superior's ass, we have the better city on Lake Superior <3

That was me, sorry. Just explorin'.

Mario 64 - Crappy controls and awful camera, strange level design and loads of bad game mechanics
Galaxy - Super linear and slow. Feels like a slog.
Sunshine - I mean it's Sunshine come on lol

Odyssey took like all the best parts of the franchise so far including the 2D games and put it into one game with immense freedom and smooth great control of both Mario and the camera.

One of those games that you don't appreciate how good it is until you go back to other games.

Odyssey is easily a top 10 game of the decade, possibly top 5.

maybe Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.

This game was both not good, and a buggy nightmare. I don't understand why people like it so much.

Yes, we play WoW together. We started dating because she wanted to get me to start playing WoW, actually

I think as a whole, yes. The generation that grew up on mobile games are probably more casual.

That being said, their generation was also the first to grow up in a time where being a streamer/esport personality was a real possibility, so I still feel like there's a decent pocket of extremely hardcore gamers, possibly more hardcore than other generations.

Like that, except no fenders, flat iron color instead of red and silver.

Maybe it really was some tinkerer's Frankenstein monster, and he just made a lot of them for his friends or something.

E-bikes have been a thing for a long time, lol. Weird how that works.

Yeah, maybe. The ones I see don't have the painted plastic or whatever it is on them though. They literally look like one of those robots that builds itself in a junkyard, just as a motorcycle instead of a robot.

This?

Honda Monkey probably.

Honda brought a bunch of old bikes back, most of them 110-125cc and usually sold and used in Asia. Monkey/Dax, Super Cub, CT125 (Honda Trail).

They're all awesome in their own way if you live in a metro area. The CT125 is awesome for a little bit of offroading. None of them are highway bikes, though.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland remake or Kirby Air Ride 2

Bloodborne 2

Not a final boss, but nobody mentioned KH2 Sephiroth on Critical

Final boss of Mad Rat Dead is an absolute pain in the ass

Is Tiktok being banned for political reasons more than security ones?

I'd be willing to bet. Republicans get btfo on TikTok, it's a very left leaning platform in general.

Also, seems somewhat convenient that the House rapidly moves to ban TikTok after the groundswell of pro-Palestine sentiment on the platform.

Does it though? These things are so much more than a simple money crime. So many lives are destroyed by this level of theft. Fraud on that scale ruins so many more lives than a guy who murders a few people. For example, how many elderly folks have had their retirement accounts plundered by this sort of fraud? Retirement accounts that they spent their lives building. The money they were counting on to survive their end game. It's the ordinary folks that suffer in the end. Only an evil person would do this. That deserves a death sentence.

I'm personally not at all against the death penalty, just sort of skeptical that any government can mete it out impartial. But considering the scale and the impact to thousands and thousands of people, I don't really feel like I have any problem with it.

In my personal opinion, if more CEOs feared real prosecution and real punishment for major crimes (not death penalty necessarily), my guess is that we might be doing better as a society

Tastes good, nice buzz

If you jump in the truck near the S.S. Anne and turn the station to 101.1 FM, and the lottery calls your number, you can get the chocolate bar ticket to enter Pikablu's Castle.

The teleportation thing, realistically, is going to get you killed at some point.

Why do you say that?

One thing I forgot to add is you do not age during teleportation. You DO age during time stop.

Currently on my way to Kyoto, will be in Japan for about a month
