I loved this.

Apropos of nothing, I pretty much live in that building. The view from the inside of my apartment building:

It’s funny to me that you say that. My entire life has been spent variously in California/Mexico/Japan, in mountainous areas. The one time I visited Florida, I remember on the second or third day noticing that there were no mountains on any horizon, and realizing that I had been programmed for that to bother me — it…

I know! When has the U.S. ever nuked anybo— oh.

The person who said that was a woman.

I’m the guy who submitted the story. The call came just as I was walking out the door with the new pizza to get in my car. I didn’t stick around to listen to it. When I got to my house, the guy basically screamed a lot of word salad with the words and phrases like, “unacceptable,” “need to be taught a lesson,” “not a…

Hi. I was the person who submitted that story. I mean, you’re not wrong that it would have been awesome of me to jump to the guy’s defense. I will mention (this detail was in my original submission, but C.A. Pinkman cut it — completely fairly, because I am always long-winded) that I was barely 18 and the guy getting…

In-car mirrors still completely unusable for realistic first-person. That’s too bad.

Yeah, I've seen this. It's good. And what you say is actually pretty insightful. The empty gesture maybe isn't actually so empty (maybe because all gestures are empty).

You involved with the making of this? Having run with the crowd in Kabukicho, this looks prety dramatized to me. But I could see how plenty of those guys would posture with a camera to do it in front of.

How does one do this? I can't find the setting. I have a super sweet ultra detailed realistic Osaka going, but everybody driving on the right side of the street is totally killing it.

I don't think I said Japan was a special case. I was just pointing out that it's vastly different from England, which your whole point is predicated on it not being. Being historically realistic, it's England/The UK/Western Europe/etc. (i.e. the great white fraternity of privilege) that's a special case, so maybe I…

The Coma Cluster of Galaxies is composed of thousands of galaxies (and billions of stars), just a fraction of which can be seen in this image. It was created in 2006 by the Hubble Space Telescope as part of an initiative to learn how galaxies in rich clusters form and evolve.

Well, of course you wouldn't be worried. You guys didn't go through what Japan went through and you have never paid for your crimes. That your level of historical privilege is so great you can't even feel offense doesn't mean the commenter wouldn't actually be out of line, though.

Voice actress Yuka Otsubo lends her voice to the characters Kitakami and Oi. In the following clip, Kitakami and Oi are talking about food that Kitakami likes. It sounds like two people, but in the recording studio it's the same person talking herself!

Well, I'm disappointed, anyway.

I don't get how it's "historical" or a "joke." Lots of Koreans and Japanese really do hate the other race, here now in the real world, and I don't get how text-shouting at a country that they are "sons of bitches" is a joke.

Definitely sad for the loss of historical heritage and for the polluting of the environment, but I can't really see as how it's unfitting of the brutal legacy of the man himself.

Flagged that original comment. You usually seem like a sensible commenter. I have no idea what makes you think saying something like that is okay, but it is not.
