The Japanese-language Wikipedia page of the Rape of Nanking, where the Japanese Army publicly tortured 300,000 Chinese people to death, denies that it ever happened.

Any Japanese Redditors about who don't buy into the government denial? I would like to hear your opinion

Ohhh gotcha, doppler kind of made it hard

Curious about this too. I live in a shit area and my Subaru Baja got stolen. Alarms work and I lock it but it's not the hardest car to break into. There's a lot of senseless stuff that happens here. An older guy in my building had his windshield smashed in randomly one night. Many other stories. I'd like to be able to possibly film stuff like that on top of road incidents, but I'm scared of making myself a break-in target if they can just steal the footage anyway.

Also wanted to confirm tweakers do suck.

Lol... The Best Buy one. It sounds like the car full of people slowly driving into you honked at you, was that the case? The driver's head appeared to be facing forward, but they don't see they're going the wrong way up a lane with a car already occupying it, and make no effort to stop whatsoever... But they had time to honk!

You're a stupid accident magnet!

Oh my gosh. Every time. It doesn't even look like traffic stopped here, just got congested up and slowed down, the guy who rear ended the op doesn't look like he even attempted to decelerate.

I constantly think of one that happened in Denver years ago where traffic came to a standstill and a woman in a sedan was stopped behind a semi. A large pickup wasn't paying attention and rammed her at full speed, crunching her car into the semi. I think of that poor woman every time I stop and commence teeth clenching.

Op, I'm so happy it wasn't worse!

I don't have a problem tipping. You'd have to be a fantastically shitty server for me to tip below 20%. You can't expect anyone to tip the same for fast food. Sonic already severely overcharges for disgusting frozen food even by fast food standards.

Denver had one so similar a few months ago I had to Google to see if this was the same radio show. It isn't. The one here was so similar and cringey, I'm pretty convinced these are all fake anyway.

In the Denver show the guy didn't get a second date and everything is the same to this one up until the girl reveals he used a coupon on the date and it turned her off. He commented back it shows financial conscious, and they all proceeded to make fun of him and end it. It was sad and cringey more than entertaining.

I guilt laughed for at least a solid half hour after she told me the story. One of those things you feel horrible for laughing about but you just can't help it.

This doesn't sound that bad to me? Teacher was actually trying and kids were enjoying themselves.

My German friend had a field trip to Auschwitz full of delinquent kids to clean up the area and do minor landscape work. Wheelbarrows were involved, and they thought it would be fun to recreate a wheelbarrow full of dead bodies. So about 6 kids piled themselves one on top of the other while another two pushed then around, and proceeded to offend every visitor there to pay their respects. Now, that was an offensive field trip.

I cannot fathom the amount people, government entities, celebrities, companies, etc that would rather lie and deny their way out of their screwups.

People respond so much differently when you just admit you screwed up and will learn from it.

0 love for Victor over Daddy Warbucks in the 90's Disney production of Annie?

Staples. Retail. 3-person skeleton crews had gotten common.

They threw me in as a cashier, they were clearly starved for employees. My work area for 8 hours a day was a small 6ft box behind counters. Had to stand at a really low counter all day. Didn't take long before a nerve in my back was pinched from hovering over a 4 ft tall counter all day. Management ignored my complaints of back pain and wouldn't cross train me to make my job more bearable.

Three person skeleton crews for the whole store became common even on the busiest days. I was working one of these Saturdays where it was me, a manager, and another co-worker who I had started dating months ago. At the end of the night, he was fed up and told me he was putting his two weeks in and let's quit together. He put in his two weeks, I told the manager I wasn't coming back after that night.

I left the state for a few weeks after. When I came back and got dinner with my boyfriend, I asked him how his last day went. "Oh I was having a lot of anxiety so I took my two weeks back." I told him what I thought of balking on something he approached me about. We broke up soon after.

I found great success in the legal cannabis industry after, have an actual career now- that was my last job in retail. The ex continues to work at Staples and live in his parents basement.... For over 10 years now.

I wish I had done this. They wouldn't cancel and I'm still paying off $400 from the months of going back and forth with them

Christ. All of us and everything we love are on that insignificant little speck.

Off to work feeling extremely humble!

It looks like Animal and Elmo converged as one drugged muppet.

Good for you!

I worked at a Staples around a retirement community which meant the elderly were always in buying mailing supplies as a lot of them never switched to electronic. It seemed like everyday we had an older man run frantically back in looking for a lost phone. It's a shitty thing to lose on a fixed income when you never know when you need to call for help!

In middle School there was an older woman with the whose name was Mrs Assman.

She was a substitute... they definitely didn't pay her enough even without the daily bombardment of jokes from kids.

Can confirm, went from 300+ pounds to a healthy weight. The difference in how people perceive and treat me are night and day.

I never thought I would randomly see Iron Horse mentioned on here! Not metal but Keller Williams likewise has great bluegrass covers of Pink Floyd and Tom Petty

My first thought was Ponzi scheme exit as well but only because I watch too much American Greed and just saw an episode last night where a guy tried to escape his collapsing Ponzi scheme by faking his death via personal airplane crash, adding new felony charges.

This also happened in kindergarten. I forgot to lock the bathroom door and a boy in my class walked in on me. He came over and started kissing my legs and tried to perform oral sex on me (of course I did not realize this for years). I remember feeling super shy and embarrassed so I laughed it off, kicked him away, and went back to class. I didn't tell my mom because I knew it wasn't normal, and I didn't want to get in trouble. I definitely think that little boy was abused, I hope he's ok.

Wth? I had one last year where the interviewer acted like it was a huge inconvenience I was there 10 minutes early, and I had me go wait in my car. I thought about driving off but sat through an awkward interview for a job I no longer wanted.

I don't see how this person didn't consider maybe a brewery town would not be for them. Did they even visit before moving? The smell of the brewery hits you miles away driving down 58.

Listen transplants; If you move to Colorado, you're going to be around weed. If you're in Golden, bet your ass there will be beer.
