Japanese toilets range from “THIS IS THE FYOOCHAH!”-level advanced to “Wait, am I in rural China?”- level nightmare-generating outhouses. Every time I’m presented with the former, the scars generated by the latter flood my thoughts. It’s torture.

The only people I’m truly afraid of with nukes are religious radicals - and some of the Republicans we now have fit the bill.

I know this is unpopular, but I think that Johannsson is actually a pretty inspired choice for Kusanagi. Given the flexibility of race, gender, etc. with the “Shells” to begin with, and her ability to be quite cold if the role calls for it, I think she could do a terrific job. If the move sucks out loud, it won’t be…

You’re correct in saying that BM doesn’t have a main dance floor, but I can tell straightaway that the party this fell on is Distrikt, which is almost certainly the largest day party. It’s a little less hippy and a little more bro and basic, as Burning Man goes.

We (okay, I) need an article about how to maintain your financial well being when the rest of your immediate family are financially irresponsible and routinely lean on you for help - and manage to maintain the relationships.

I just did the math on this and with rent of $1500 a month, for a single person, you’d need to clear about $80,000 a year to save 50% spending virtually nothing else other than $400 monthly on food and $500 monthly on bills/everything else. You’d need to make $115,000 for 75%. In other words, you’d need to be in about…

If you live in a part of the country that has no water issues, like the Northeast, point out to him that saving water is not particularly important here and move on

Speaking for New York, they are absolutely all over the place. All over it. You just don’t see them very much because they usually have boring jobs like operations compliance officer or analyst or associate accountant and they’re still in the “get dumped on” years where they get to work more hours for less pay. You…

Thankfully, this is not nearly as bad as I’d feared. Despite awkward attempts to “balance” things, they seem to have largely retained the necessary facts.

I doubt this simply because random dead horse doesn’t just show up. They likely were processed for export in a facility that also processes beef. Sorta like the warnings on candy that it’s made in a facility that processes peanuts. .. dunno about the beaver tho

Finally, all my porn will fit on one hard drive!

Hopefully somebody and damn soon

The cutesy, creepy loli stuff is what’s really wrong with anime.

I didn’t say “a country,” I said YOUR country (hopefully, you would go down with the ship like a good dictator should)

Wow, if you ran a country I wouldn’t want to live in it. (More accurately, I would want to nuke it from orbit...it’s the only way to be sure)

India sucks and will continue to suck until it populates itself to critical mass and implodes. The end.

Let’s call it “The Reclamation.” Since if it never ends and it goes back to the way things were before we were there, that’s roughly going to be what it is.

Get better evidence

I would agree, except your characterization is completely wrong. The “orgy” is typically confined to two or three camps in a particular area that makes up no more than 5% of the square footage of camp placements. The camp placement for PEOPLE WITH KIDS is much larger. Again, I take issue with your characterization of…

I’m sure if we wrote a book about what you understand about Burning Man, we’d have an event that looks absolutely nothing like Burning Man. Unless you’ve gone, you can’t begin to assume you know what you’re talking about. So stop trying.
