I was so upset by the post that I failed to edit my comment. Hence the repetition of “among”. So, where I wrote “Among the shameful crimes Japan committed in its long history, this is among the most heinous ones.” please read “Among the shameful crimes Japan committed in its long history, this is one of the most…

Way too little. Way too late.

Well, I guess in Japan the girls would have to sue the Yakuza. Something that I’m pretty sure would not be very conducive to a healthy and long life.

Well, the Internet is such a weird place... Lots of people say things that they wouldn’t dare say to another person face to face, but bad-mannered people are everywhere.

I sincerely don’t understand that. The policies Sanders supports are aligned more with the interests of the majority of the population in the US regardless of their ethnic, social and cultural background. His ideals should appeal the vast majority who are not pleased with the current state of affairs in which the…

Hmm. If you already have a subscription (the full monty), you can’t buy this as an add-on to be used in the future. I’ve been trying to add the US$5.00 plan, but instead of being sent to my cart, I’m sent to my cloud account.

Is this an invitation?

A dear friend once taped my snoring just to prove that I snored. I still have the tape somewhere.

You’re me! That’s what I do whenever the wife comes from the other bedroom to poke me when I’m snoring. I tell her: “Hey! I’m fully awake!” Oddly, she never believes me. Wonder why...

Talking about Hulu ads... There are tons of ads about prescription medicines. I get it that big pharma wants to sell their wares, but I can’t understand why anyone would be willing to take a drug whose side-effects are way worse than the effects of their present condition? Every now and then I see an antidepression…

Having had the opposite experience, I nevertheless feel very sorry and sympathise with you. Day in day out I tell my son that he’s very, very lucky and priviledged in comparison to millions of other children.

“Again, this will probably never happen”

But they need to be MTA-proof ads.

Will we ever have amazon on Apple TV? And what about an Apple TV stick? I’ve got an old Roku, Apple TV and the Fire TV stick. I like both the Apple TV and the Fire TV stick. The ATV is better at handling mirroring.

Next they will come up with an iris scanner. Which bank is it? I can’t figure it out as I rarely use ATMs. Because of the red color, I’d say Bradesco, but it could also be Santander...

I’m also from Brazil, and I remember that I was very upset when they introduced the C&P system for credit cards. I loathed the idea of having to memorize a new password for each credit card... Now not only I’m used to that, but I can’t wait for my bank in the US to enable the PIN feature on their CCs. The way it is…

I’ll pretend I never read your message, so I’ll always believe that once Patrick Stewart had natural-ish curly hair. And, yeah! Today I had Yorkshire Gold at breakfast.

It’s the best thing I ever seen. It’s so fucking good that I watch it at least once a year - sometimes more. And I also read the books before watching it. I discovered the series by accident. I remember renting the VHS tapes to watch it. Then I eventually bought the DVDs. They are currently in a bookcase. I watch a…

You just shattered one of my most sacred beliefs! I was pretty sure that was his own hair... Are you sure it’s a wig?

Which company do you use? I buy it from amazon every 4-6 months. Never had a problem (except once with the best-before date, but amazon sent me a replacement). It then sits in my private climate-controlled microwarehouse in Vegas until a good samaritan flies it down to Brazil.
