the business culture needs to change to allow women to work and have children

Nah, just use your hand wedge like before

I found one of my best finds in a porn shop in rural Nara (Kashiba) - a nicely boxed PC Engine Duo RX for like 1000 yen.   Can sometimes find retro game stuff just about anywhere!

I’m living overseas, and the one thing my American overseas friends all agree on is screw that guy. Actually managed to let out a little whoop at my desk in the office when I saw the little check mark go to Evers name.  

You’re only offended because some talking head told you to be offended, and they only told you that to make $$$$$$$ for their media outlet.  

Del Taco USED to be in Texas when I was a kid a long time ago.  

However, I will never pay money for music that I’m not actually owning and that can be removed from my playlists, whenever a random contract from the artist’s, label’s or streaming service’s side runs out.

What’s wrong with being near the toilet?  I mean if you’re in the seat directly next to it it’s a bit of a pain but being near it otherwise is convenient.  Usually the seats in the back are less crowded, too, so more likely to have the seat next to you empty.

That’s pretty hardcore chicken fandom

What’s a “contending Swallows team”?

Maybe you otherwise like the job/coworkers/lifestyle?  Maybe you simply NEED a job and the market is tight for your line of work?

Hey, I like both Dances with Wolves AND space.

I never got on well with my teachers, but I can’t say I rebelled against my parents much at all. They always allowed me to have my own opinions and feelings, and never restricted what I could listen to. Movies, yeah, a bit, just not watching highly age-inappropriate movies at a young age.

Shouldn’t cost that much, though. Big part of the reason insurance costs are horrific is because costs are horrific.  We’ve got full national healthcare in my home (Japan) but there are experimental procedures not covered.  A friend of mine needed a similar experimental cancer treatment and he had to pay out of…
