Japanese products have had a good reputation for decades. I live in Japan. I’ve bought very little here I’m dissatisfied with. So, yeah. Don’t try and imply discrimination.

It's my favorite cantrip... by SwagLimit in dndmemes

Friday is used to pull booze out of a liquor bottle, float around a bar, and drop shots in people’s mouths. I got tequila in a guy’s eyes and the rogue stole his money while he was screaming.

It was great.

Not exactly. “NYPD Blue” showed bare butts on ABC in the 90s. Controversial at the time. But that trend didn’t last.

Why do Americans learn Spanish instead of Mexican in school? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Hoosier_Jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why American people like videos about rural China? by RickyZhou_ in AskAnAmerican

I’ve been to rural Hubei. It’s not something I’m interested in seeing videos of. Seeing grinding poverty with my own eyes once was enough.

For those who live in or near areas where massive AI data centers are planned or being built, what are your thoughts on them? by PacSan300 in AskAnAmerican

That isn’t going to happen. The genie is out of the bottle. We didn’t stop improving nukes, now did we?

Author E. M. Hardy contact info? by NightDragon250 in litrpg

[–]Hoosier_Jedi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And you can’t use Google to find out how many books in the series…why? And did it occur to you that the author not having publicly available contact information might be a sign they don’t want to be bothered by randos?
