I #noped the hell out of this article after 1.5 stories.

I would read endless volumes of poop/vomit stories over this.

A lot of comments are suspecting an author with an anti-Japanese leaning, but I read it as exactly the opposite. The read as subversive reminders and possibly criticisms of the atrocities of the west. Masquerading acknowledgement of past sins under the guise of current western cultural icons seems way more pro-Japan…

I am not watching either video as they sound just awful.

But having not watched either video, I am relatively confident this was scripted, and done to attract attention in the selfie-centric viral-video me-culture.

Since I have not watched either video, my opinion is not really valid, and may actually be insulting to a…

My mistake. Where I'm from jokes are funny.

It would still be an employer fucking an employee and wildly inappropriate.

The mileage of others will almost definitely vary as while use of birth control dramatically increases your risk of hepatocelluar adenoma, the risk remains vanishingly small - not “extremely common”.

How do the legalities of writing under a pseudonym work? Is the publisher in on it? This article is about deceiving the agents, and I’m used to the Internet where pseudonyms are cheap and easy and free of consequence.

Sorry for a late reply. We had a holiday in Canada.

This x 100.

It came up recently in another story about a guy charging his phone on a UK train, but since it has come up again I will say now: Theft of services (electric current) sounds like total bullshit.

True story. I can’t properly digest cow dairy (I get a rash). So I grew up eating cereal dry.

I like it. I find milk on cereal inconceivable.

Actually this is a much better question than you think Eric. Mailbox and Inbox are two birds of a feather, much more so than any other alternative.

I’ve just tried to catch up with Man of Steel but ragequit after an hour. What a terrible movie. How can this kind of disaster get made?

I enthusiastically agree with everything you say.

Thank you for saying this. The enthusiastic shoring up of the gender binary has always made me very distrustful of discussions on trans issues. Of course as a cis-presenting* white male who the hell cares what I trust or distrust - and what we are seeing is a huge advance in tolerance of things we can’t directly…

Was it? I’m still convinced Her Story is just a novelty. It did not engage me. I should go back.

“GOOD DAY! Offering this for a friend”

...pshaw, we know better than to fall for that scam.

I believe the anecdote about having someone mail you prescription medication, in this case into Japan, is ridiculously illegal. I believe this has been covered recently on Gawker or Jezebel in relation to some automotive executive. She was shipping narcotics, and doing so deceitfully, but the coverage at the time…

So, for Her Story, I’m correct that I just keep playing until my curiosity is sated and then walk away?

I played it for about 45 minutes and have difficulty caring about all the nuances about how the crime happened, as the immediate and obvious differences between the interview sessions led me quickly to “this woman is…

I’ll be damned if I can figure out which one he means. I could have sworn I 100%ed this game....
