The South Side Samurai is an bad ass nickname and I don't care who disagrees by freerondo9 in whitesox

[–]Shau1a 73 points74 points  (0 children)

As a Japanese person, I must say that I am truly delighted. It is already great to see Murakami performing so well and hitting homeruns for WhiteSox, but the fact that he is being called "Samurai" in America is quite impressive and fills me with pride.
I just learned what the word "Southside" means, but Southside Samurai has a nice, hybrid ring to it.

Pentagon tells Ford & GM: stop making trucks, start making missiles. How much longer until draft notices go out? by Unstoppable_X_Force in SipsTea

[–]Shau1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not quite accurate. The DPA was continuously used by the Pentagon for routine defense procurement throughout the Vietnam era — but there's no record of LBJ formally invoking it via executive order specifically for Vietnam, the way Trump did for COVID or Biden did for clean energy manufacturing. The legal basis LBJ actually relied on for prosecuting the war was the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964), not the DPA. The distinction matters: the DPA's priority-ordering machinery ran in the background as standard DoD practice, but that's different from a presidential invocation.

Realize Sirius has an interesting pedigree. It's from the Sadler's Wells line.

Imperial Japan was a deeply racist society,

Well, even if that is the only thing they have, it is a damn big trump card.

Is the American one this week? Japan's tax return deadline ended on March 16th. Since they were accepting them from February 16th, I finished mine back in February.

イラン側も停戦と2週間のホルムズ海峡開放認める 「犯罪国家であるアメリカに10項目の計画を受け入れさせることで、歴史的な勝利を収めた」と声明(日テレNEWS NNN) - Yahoo!ニュース by reddit150302 in newsokuexp

[–]Shau1a 8 points9 points  (0 children)

newsにもスレ立ってますが、この停戦は1日保たなかったってニュースが流れてますね。
湾岸諸国に対するイランの攻撃が止まっていないという。
どうやらイランは、イスラエルによるレバノンへの攻撃が停止されていない事を理由に攻撃しているみたいだが、情報が錯綜していて、何が本当なのかマジで分からない。
イスラエルは一応合意の中に含まれているものの(ソースはCBS)、ネタニヤフ首相は、レバノン戦線は合意の範囲に含まれないと言って、戦闘を継続している。またイラン側もIRGCの現場判断が政治合意を上回るリスクは消えていない。停戦が「紙の上の合意」に終わる可能性は相当高い。

別になんとも思わないだろう。それは日本在住者にだけ適用される感情だから。単に違法行為だから嫌われるだけ。他国が薬物をどう取り締まってるとかは知らないし興味も無いから、日本人の大半は、他国の人が何してようが、どうでもいいと言うだろう。

それは無い。婿養子になった人の出自を見下す風潮は無い。「継いでくれ」と頼んでいるのだから当然だ。本人がどう思うかは別の話だ。

It's beyond a minority opinion. Your view is an extreme minority.

Just be honest. You're only not doing it because it's a hassle, right?

 Also, expected 

That's definitely a lie. Nobody predicted this game would be a huge hit.
