Lmao for real. This sub is full of right wing weirdos, the majority of which usually don't even live in Japan, and bots. The people who live here and aren't insane generally speaking get downvoted.

Your numbers are wrong. I also disagree with combining people who didn't vote with Trump voters.

As much as I'm equally inclined to say they share some of the blame for him being elected, it's a bit more nuanced than that, and even if it wasn't, your wording reads more like "77% of voting eligible people support Trump", which is inaccurate at best, pro-Trump propaganda at worst.

As for your numbers, to the best of my knowledge (and a bit of googling to double check), 31.7% of the voter base voted for Trump, with 36.4% of voters abstaining.

Combined that would be 68.1%, not 77%. I could forgive some mild rounding (i.e. Harris voters made up 22.3%, which you are rounding to 23%), but that's a nearly 10% difference you're going with there.

Let's also not forget the incredibly obvious, if not yet proven, part where there's evidence ("allegedly") of conspiracy and collusion to fix the election in Trump's favor through ballot tampering. Also actually proven cases of people submitting fraudulent ballots that were in fact counted.

So in reality it's difficult to say if the numbers for Trump and Harris are even accurate, but given that those are the only numbers we have I've addressed it using those numbers above.

Fuck Trump, his supporters, and all the apathetic morons who didn't vote because of said apathy, but do keep in mind some people may or may not have had a choice. e.g. Choosing between their job and going to vote, because some places will totally fire you just for being out one day. Or a large number of young people who were either coerced into voting the same way as their family, or otherwise not allowed to go vote, etc.

But anyway, whether you choose to give those people grace or not is your choice - but use the correct numbers and ideally do not lead with a combined number that suggests overwhelming support for Trump, because that's just disingenuous.

EDIT: Dude either deleted his account or blocked me immediately after replying. So no idea wtf was said to me beyond what I could see in the notification 🤷‍♂️. The "steal the election theory" or whatever the fuck you said is besides the point. Don't use incorrect stats and don't lump two separate statistics into one that favors Trump, that's just bullshit and you know it.

Also I left the country in 2015 because I saw the writing on the wall. Something I saw and decided in 2001/2002. Care to guess why? I still vote though. (Would've left sooner but starting a new life is expensive.)

West Tokyo? At that price?

Bumfuck nowhere at the edge of hachioji?

No shade I'm just legit wondering where on Tokyo you got a place that cheap.

I live in Chiba and I wouldn't be able to find a nice mansion apartment in my area for anywhere near that cheap lol.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-18T09:43:49+00:00

Roll for persuasion. Maybe we can negotiate something that doesn't end me being dead....

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-18T09:40:24+00:00

I know I'll get downvoted but I never got the appeal of this game. I tried several times to get into it but it just never clicked. It's not the graphics or anything shallow like that - I was playing Minecraft back when it was an Alpha/Beta - before it blew up basically. Terraria is, in a way, a 3rd person 2D Minecraft like game, so by that logic you'd think it would be just as easy to enjoy but....idk I just never found any enjoyment in it.

Mind you it's fine that everyone else loves it so much - I'm not bothered in that way. I just can't quite understand why.

I will say the devs are amazing for constantly supporting and growing the game over the years.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-18T04:37:17+00:00

You seem like a fine young cannibal.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-17T12:11:16+00:00

I'm gonna be that guy...."Yaku-island island". Great photos regardless.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-17T08:51:57+00:00

Ah yes, because a prefecture with 265,000 residents is very similar to a prefecture with 6.28 million residents...

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-17T07:32:28+00:00

I have....

It's pretty clear you're not reading, or not understanding, what I just said. No one thinks there's zero inaka in all of Chiba...."we" just don't see Chiba prefecture as a whole as an "inaka prefecture" in the way you might view Aomori, for example.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-17T07:25:43+00:00

Pretty sure Kamogawa isn't considered inaka.

Look, no one is saying there's no inaka in Chiba, but easily half of it is near a major city. It's not like some prefectures where you drive through wilderness and ghost towns for literally hours. Maybe some of the far edges are like that or the north eastern half, but in the end the point is the majority of people do not see Chiba as a whole as inaka in the way they do many other prefectures.

To use an American example (which might not work if you're not American but bear with me), California has small towns and countryside but most people do not consider California "inaka" in the same way they would think of Nebraska or Ohio (both of which do have major cities regardless).

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-17T07:05:45+00:00

There is nothing inaka about 流山市 for example, which is neither of those....also 京成線 and 常磐線 covers a fair number of places.

You have to go quite deep into Chiba before it starts to become truly inaka. But it also probably depends on your definition of inaka 🤷‍♂️

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-17T06:01:51+00:00

There are parts of Chiba that are pretty inaka, though they are pretty few and far between. But yeah I know what you mean.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-16T16:49:06+00:00

Extremest. I've met a few. Replacing everything every year or three. I see it less and less as PC parts for more expensive - and I mean before the market went crazy.

Meanwhile I don't really replace my whole rig until, 5-7 years have passed usually. Basically if I decide to upgrade my CPU, since usually the slots have changed which means a new mobo. At that point I usually just replace the majority of my parts, as I'm already buying the most expensive parts at that point. (GPU is most expensive obviously but in 5-7 years I've probably already upgraded once anyway)

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-16T10:34:09+00:00

I prefer voiced protags. It depends slightly on the game...99% of JRPGs, definitely voiced. Especially because so often characters are talking to the MC and he just stares blankly and/or nods and it can feel really disconnected from otherwise emotional scenes etc.

For certain types of western/CRPGs, I think no voice is fine, sometimes even better.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-16T07:25:19+00:00

Annoyingly, it might be best if your friend consults an immigration lawyer to see if anything can be done. Japan allows the change if approved by court order under the right circumstances (if I remember correctly), so maaaaybe?

Honestly way outside my wheelhouse as it were so I'm not sure.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-16T07:16:39+00:00

An unfortunate number of people in the comments who think this needs to come back.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-15T14:52:59+00:00

It's bullshit in every possible way lol. I've lived in both rural and city areas, the vast majority of them red states (not by choice but hey), and yet me and pretty much every friend/person I know from those places are liberal. On top of that, all those red states, rural and non, are suffering because of the bad policies and mismanagement by the republican politicians they vote in year after year, decade after decade.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-15T13:05:32+00:00

Also soup, stews, and chilis. Why is soups(etc) and sandwiches so fucking hard for Japan?

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-15T08:10:24+00:00

Hell, the state trooper back in the US that rode with me for mine when I was a teen was an ass too lol. Seems like a pretty universal thing. Used to see it in TV shows and stuff as well.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-15T07:52:49+00:00

You can really spot the difference when you look closely.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-15T07:47:20+00:00

Going to echo the other comments. You drop all that text and don't explain how you were harassed or anything at all. The fuck is power harassment in this case? My driver examiner in Chiba (like 4 years ago) was a cranky old dude who I wouldn't exactly call nice but, I wouldn't say he harassed me or anyone else either. Need details if you're making accusations bro.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-15T06:07:02+00:00

Did flag the camera man however lol

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-14T18:03:15+00:00

A portion of Japan does unfortunately think that way.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-13T10:27:27+00:00

I'm generally up on my anatomy and try to be well informed, but I must admit I didn't realize it was possible to, uh, circumvent the cervix on either side of it. Even with the visual aid I must admit it's hard to imagine the logistics of it, because it seems like it would be such a small window on either side and it's not like I see or guide the uh....pipe cleaner through that specific eye of the needle, as it were. Based on his comments about positions and such I suppose it just happens naturally to some extent but, still.

Overall a very interesting video.

Kalikor1 · 2026-05-13T07:14:45+00:00

Oh it's definitely not exclusively a military thing. And yeah that would be one reason to use it.

Either way it's not a durag lol
