Sooo cute. I love that she couldn't help but dance to her own music.

I think she's the type of slightly weird country kid whose aesthetic hipsters try to mimic.

Something about her feels incredibly genuine and lacking in artifice, it’s such a rare quality that it’s sort of mesmerising.

I found it interesting in the sense that I think it is irresponsible to continue asking your supporters for donations for a campaign you know you can’t win, if you know most of them are not in the workforce and are less likely to have a ton of disposable income.

Yeah, my mother visited me when I was living in Japan and she nearly cried upon seeing a tiny child alone in Shinjuku station, but it's totally normal for them. Obviously this case took that ethos a little too far.

I believe in rehabilitative prison but it’s ridiculous to think that six months is enough to even make a start with this guy. There are some people you will never be able to rehabilitate but if you're going to try you need to accept it will be a long process.

Lucky he wasn’t convicted of possessing marijuana. That’s a REAL crime.

I also don't think it's fair to expect her to feel 100% confident and proud of her body at all times. Who does?

Thank you! I literally just binged s2 last month, a little concerning I couldn't recognise her.

His people are probably banking on nobody believing her. From the Facebook comments I’m seeing most people still think she’s lying. It’s hard to tell though because of the lowest common denominator nature of Facebook comments. Im too scared to ask the people I actually know what they think.

Who is that in your second gif? She's so familiar to me but I can't put my finger on it, it's driving me crazy.

did you ever read The People Who Eat Darkness? It’s about an earlier case of a British woman who was murdered in Japan. It extensively covers her family trying to deal with foreign culture and bureaucracy to figure out what happened to her. Such a frustrating and heartbreaking process.

At least when it was a book you knew most people wouldn’t read it. When the movie came out I knew we would be hearing women accused of ‘pulling a Gone Girl’ for the rest of time.

Yeah, I absolutely believe this just bc who wouldn't

It’s such extensive badmouthing too. It’s not an accidental I-shouldn’t-have-said-that throwaway. It’s intentional character assassination.

Oh yeah, that's about the size of our freshies, which I still don't want to get too close to, but they're not nearly so alarming.

I agree that morality as regards to adultery and hurt feelings should be kept out of the court, but I’m not sure I can agree with keeping abuse out of the financial settlements. Often financial control has been an ongoing part of the abuse, the two things cannot necessarily be separated. If the abuser has not allowed…

It always seems like people who complain in this way aren't doing anything about either of the things.

This explains why Americans always seem to be super casual about gators.

I could go on and on about how dangerous salties are. A couple years ago one took a grown man from a boat. The idea of being close enough to touch one makes me want to throw up.
