Democracy and Capitalism are both noble ideas, perverted in their current form.

Rachel Maddow did a deep dive on the abuse of Opportunity Zones by Trump, Kushner and pals like LeFrak yesterday. This is a good example of how anti-government types are always ready to use the system for themselves. But you know that if the Opportunity Zone program included an oversight feature that would exclude,…

Y’know, HamNo—I’m never going to be a Socialist, nor a Communist—but god damn if your economic arguments have not convinced me that maybe Capitalism isn’t quite as good as I once thought it was.

Seriously, there was a time when I would’ve looked at a statement like The Mooch’s here and thought, “Okay, and? It’s a…

If I liked Katy Perry I’d say she deserves better than to be in this ghetto F2P gacha hell mobile game... but this seems appropriate.

Every so often when discussing Ariana in FFBE you’ll find somebody who says they found the game because of her collab event.

Don’t Be A Jackass In Japan Anywhere During Halloween Anything

When I stayed in Japan, we had a gaggle of Aussies in the basement of our hostel who were getting piss ass drunk every night. We could hear them hooting and hollering all the way from our room (on the forth floor!)

How else will you know if there’s candy inside it?

I don’t think lots of people will understand this from the articles Bash wrote, but from what I heard from relatives and other people living in Japan, at least for now these incidents tend to happen most frequently in 3 or 4 neighborhoods in Tokyo where there is a high concentration of:

Feel free--though I can honestly say that one was off-the-cuff.  I have minor flashes of skill mixed in with all of the foolishness.

“Crowds make people feel invisible—mobs make them feel invincible.”

Honestly, I think the rioting behavior is more a symptom of the perception of “safety in numbers.” When the University of Kentucky won the NCAA Basketball tournament a few years ago, students and adult fans alike burned couches and other odds and ends in the streets of Lexington.

The prevailing theory appeared to be,…

This reply smacks of ignoring the fact that the post in question clearly names the four arrested offenders, and only the last paragraph involves any reference to non-Japanese persons whatsoever.

But keep that whataboutism cloaked in concern trolling rolling along.  It’s a good look.

It’s been my experience that many foreign tourists—irrespective of where they’re from and where they’re visiting—tend to believe that “the rules are different” wherever they happen to be.

I worked in England for a brief period of time, and a few of my fellow Yanks evidently believed it was totally acceptable to get…

Damn I gotta stop throwing rocks in the ocean.

Steam Rail-Sim software subtracted substantially from Steam Store.

So Steam, the video game, was removed from the Steam platform because one of the developers was steamed for the negative reviews of the game that may resulted in the game making little steam in terms of sales?

To protect the wreck, Venture Inc. did not disclose the exact location of the Juneau.

I specifically take issue with the inclusion of a mermaid front and center on every Starbucks cup. They’re an abomination and Noah left them off the ark for a reason. There were space issues and they can swim anyway. Also they maybe consume human flesh.

I looooove these cups! They’re so cute and give me something to look at while I’m on the bus (aside from the “hilarious” spellings of my incredibly common first name).
