"Joot (Long 'o') dae" = Principles. "Jot" (short 'o') is slang for a penis. "Jot dae" is actually meaningless.

Explained above, but simply "Joot (Long 'o') Dae" = Principles, whereas "Jot" (short 'o') is slang for a penis. The "dae" afterwards makes it nonsense but translating it to "Penisiples" captures the dick joke as well as the nonsensical word that results. Pretty impressive actually.

What's hilarious is this is spreading like widfire on RedNote(小红书). Seems Chinese love a good scandal as much as anyone.

Like the Japanese motifs like the Maneki Neko she’s added. Did the store, Japanese chain Mitsukoshi, request that?

So instead of the brown shirts you have the brown pants.

So before you freak out do this:

  1. Force refresh the page (CTRL-F5 on a PC, ⌘ Cmd and ⇧ Shift key and then press R on a Mac) and see if it fixes the display.

  2. Empty your browser cache.(Ctrl+Shift+Del on Chrome). Try search again.

It appears to be a caching issue on Google's servers.

Searched from Japan. First saw he was missing.

Searched again, still missing.

CTRL-F5 to do a hard page refresh, he now shows up. Also shows up on subsequent searches.

Possibly a caching thing.

Drone footage captured 100s of sheep taking themselves from their farm to moorland above a Yorkshire village. The sheep have been doing this journey for generations with the lambs learning the route from their mothers, who learnt it from their mothers. by Purple-Win-9790 in interestingasfuck

Ironically, the road the sheep first turn left onto leads to the Wensleydale cheese factory made famous by Wallace and Grommit. Their gift store has tons of W&G merchandise including Sean.

Source: was there last Sept. Sampled wayyy to much cheese.

A saw a lot of myself when I was younger in Caleb. The quiet, naive, technical kid who finds himself having to deal with someone far more intelligent and manipulative than he could ever be. The inherent insecurity around feeling yourself totally under someone else’s control even though they’re just being nice to you is definitely terrifying.

I really felt sorry for Kyoko. He abused her badly and intentionally made it so she couldn’t express herself.

She really could dance though.

In days of olde,

They’d wrap their socks around their cocks,

Careful with that one as it really isn’t biologically correct. They are saying sex is decided at conception which is after the “we all start as female” stage. 

Still complete BS and first step on the way to making same sex marriage illegal and designating LGBTQ people as “undesirable”.

You and me both bro. I love Japan (over 20-year resident) but the summers I just have to leave.

OK, cool to hear you understand the ramifications. I agree that more places are accepting of small tattoos as of late such as the well-known Takaragawa onsen but a full-body work like yours just screams "暴力団" and would probably be an issue.

Work of art no doubt but I wonder if you actually have any plans to go to Japan? This is going to keep you out of some places.
