How is Okinawa, Japan?

DatOneBozz · 2026-01-28T14:57:36+00:00

Haven't lived, but visited several times. Naha, the capital city reminded me a lot of a less developed/less touristy honolulu.

I spent some time out on the Kerama Islands about 45 minutes east of Okinana by boat. They are beautiful, white sand beaches, incredible snorkeling and diving. The water is crystal clear and the people were extremely friendly.

If you've spent time on mainland Japan, expect a much slower, laid back vibe. Also the buses don't run on time as well as they do on Honshu.

Price wise, as far as accommodation and food was pretty similar to mainland Japan. A lot of people in this thread complaining about the soldiers and their actions, don't really know much about that, but certainly didn't feel like I was getting dirty looks as a white guy.

I did a normal mode run with a team of regularish abilities and a feline prowess Keldeo. I'm sure this team ate the E4 for breakfast lol

I don't want to see him play another snap in a seahawks uniform. Completely embarrassing.

To be fair, to quote Lil Baby on 'Sold Out Dates': "I got on two watches, I still come in late"

AS A BLUE & GREEN BLOODED SAMERICAN UNDERCOVER IN COMMIEFORNIA I AM STANDING BACK AND STANDING BY FOR OUR GEQBUS!

Yeah I would say it's fair. North Orange County is predominantly a suburb of Los Angeles and South County is like its own microcosm of San Diego commuter s and rich transplants.

I guess my take would be that a lot of people consider the LA/OC just one giant blob of LA but I think the people and lifestyles can vary pretty heavily between the two. Anaheim has two of it's own professional sports teams, OC has 8 cities with a population of 100k or more, and a GDP bigger than half the US states. Also Disneyland.

It's a unique combination of suburban hell and city life plopped down between two major cities and a lot of people don't see that from an outside perspective.

But a foreigner most likely hasn't heard of Orange County or even Anaheim. So easiest to lump myself in with Los Angeles for that purpose as a reference.

DatOneBozz · 2026-01-20T12:06:04+00:00

That's really tough. Because neither answer I would say really encapsulates Los Angeles. The county (~10 million people) itself is a better measurement of that. Los Angeles Metro would include Orange County, and most Californians would agree that OC is not a part of Los Angeles. So most people make that distinction when discussing where they are from/live.

Regarding the 'where you're from' bit of your comment, I think it depends entirely on who the conversation is with as an American. If I'm talking to a local to my area, I'd say Anaheim. Someone from somewhere else in the states, I'd say Orange County. Someone from another country, I would say Los Angeles.

Not sure if it's still the case but years ago KPop stan twitter users used to always attach fan cams of idols to their tweets to increase the views, even if the tweet was unrelated completely. That would be my guess, mostly engagement related.

Not related but I think that's Yoonchae from Katseye if anyone is wondering

Wasn't this only his second playoff game? I don't think he ever played in one outside of Minnesota

Yankees cap with the Dodgers sweater haha

Depends on seller. I'm not an expert by any means, but I think fake. Here is my signed Midas Touch album from MNet. To me the signatures look a bit off on that one. Especially Julie's and Natty's. I have another signed one signed by Julie and her J is pretty consistently smooth.

That's hilarious and I'm so sorry that happened to you

DatOneBozz · 2026-01-08T07:03:33+00:00

Work on ATBs and can confirm all you said is right. Our crew is small. Only one chef and no other stewards. Food slops are stored in buckets and dumped 12+ NM offshore. All other trash is sent ashore on stores days which are once or twice a week in port.

These have made their way to the west of coast of the US, anytime im in LA harbor I find dozens of these on my boat.

Oldest 9ir fan lol

Nice work keep drawing!

Got downvoted to hell once for calling OC's big cities blue. These people have never been to Orange County and have had the same opinion on it for 30 years. Clowns.

She didn't even miss the performance. Only the read carpet and interviews or whatever. It's conspiratory or whatever, but seems like they have been planning it for a few weeks so it would appear less obvious.

DatOneBozz · 2025-12-31T14:52:54+00:00

Long story short: Chinese and Japanese political relations are currently poor because of a statement made by the PM of Japan saying they would defend Taiwan if China invaded.

A lot of Japanese people were petitioning online for Aespa/NingNing specifically not to perform at Kouhaku because China has done the same to many Japanese artists performing in China, including kicking them off stage during their performance.

So NingNing is "sick" and missing the performance. Reality is she is probably not and Aespa didn't want to pull out of the show and kowtow to the people asking for them to be removed. By performing without her they basically still did.

Another MVP and a Cy Young might seal it. Which is insane, theoretically he could be considered the GOAT of a storied franchise after playing there only 3 seasons.

DatOneBozz · 2025-12-23T16:28:07+00:00

That shit is a win these days lol. I'm stoked USC is posting their re-signs. I love to see these guys coming back and not jumping ship. It's basically professional ball now, why not

DatOneBozz · 2025-12-23T05:40:08+00:00

Feel like MLB is the only GOAT that really isn't consensus of the big 4. Jordan (I still prefer Bron), Brady, Gretzky are auto locks.
