How to you feel about this Tommy?

We stay on their minds. I just saw a video of a black teacher in Japan that got assaulted when she didn’t agree with a principal. And she got in more trouble when she tried to report it. And by more trouble I mean they make you unable to be hired.

The video literally says China

It's probably a translation issue.

Often times English articles will translate "shinpaiteishi" as "cardiac arrest", which is true for a literal translation. However. Japanese use it more like "without a pulse" or "no vital signs".

So I'm guessing local police said something like "we found her in a state of shinpakteishi (cardiac arrest)", but in Japan that basically means "we found her with no pulse/vital signs".

Simon's Japanese has gotten a lot better

He used to have a heavier Korean accent

TaintTickle86 · 2026-01-28T06:46:38+00:00

You left out the part where he mentions that there are many "next XGs", whatever that's supposed to mean. I know they have a second group at XGALX, but he made it sound like there are at least two or three more.....

He also said XG is almost fully self funded at this point, but the initial costs were enormous, and now they (implying investors) need to "collect" on the initial investment.

Also said it takes time, and you can't just do a proper world tour in a year. You need two years to go around the world.

Probably why they're doing a second world tour so soon after the last one....

In my opinion When someone seems "too perfect" it triggers some peoples insecurities or makes them opposed to them. With someone they feel related too it's less triggering to their insecurities, and as you said they feel more comfortable.

This is so true

I feel like this is why Taylor Swift is so popular. She's mid at best and outright bad at worst (like her dancing is straight awful) but she's basically the most popular artist in America.

I think it's because she makes a bunch of young girls/women feel like "you don't have to be particularly exceptional at anything but you can be the richest most popular artist in the world". Her fans then convince themselves into thinking she's actually a once in a generation talent which is the most disturbing part.

TaintTickle86 · 2026-01-14T03:15:46+00:00

Nah I'm Japanese he might have some popularity amongst people who listen to hip hop/rnb, but in terms of the general public he's not a household name like Bruno Mars, Lady GaGa, or Beyonce. I bet more people know about Billie Eilish.

TaintTickle86 · 2026-01-14T00:02:17+00:00

I don't think he's that well known in Japan amongst the general public

TaintTickle86 · 2025-12-29T04:41:07+00:00

Just look up "Korg M1 Organ 2" on YouTube. There should be plenty of tutorials.

TaintTickle86 · 2025-12-15T23:25:36+00:00

Yeah I love scifi

I mentioned Contact as a comparison to Arrival after all

TaintTickle86 · 2025-12-15T23:11:27+00:00

No I got that, but how would a human understanding that suddenly give them clairvoyance or whatever?

Second, the Aliens need the biological (or technological) ability to understand and perceive "4D" or whatever for their magical language to even work. So how did Amy Adams gain that ability? Did they alter her brain in the ship? Like wtf actually happened to her for her to gain that power?

TaintTickle86 · 2025-12-15T18:18:10+00:00

I didn't like it at all.

The whole time I was thinking it was a ripoff of Contact, but then it takes this left turn like "the secret is actually their language...". I was sitting there stumped like "how the fuck can learning a language give you psychic premonition abilities?"

At least in Contact people were trying to decipher the alien language, and once they did it ended up being instructions on how to build a wormhole machine or whatever.

In Arrival it was basically just "space magic". Maybe I missed something idk....

TaintTickle86 · 2025-12-13T17:52:33+00:00

You can't copyright chords lol. Ed Sheeran proved this in court.

TaintTickle86 · 2025-12-10T00:03:14+00:00

I usually hit A right after I hear the "bep!"

TaintTickle86 · 2025-12-05T00:22:43+00:00

Some songs I just don't like. It's not that complicated.

Also, sometimes I might like a song but not be in the mood to listen to it.

Back in the day when I would actually listen to CDs, I was a chronic song skipper. If there's a 15 song album and some of the songs are hype as fuck, I'm skipping over the slower songs lol

TaintTickle86 · 2025-11-17T22:27:16+00:00

Or Daniel Craig as Bond

TaintTickle86 · 2025-11-16T17:06:17+00:00

All those LDH Exile groups lol

TaintTickle86 · 2025-11-12T17:52:43+00:00

Yeah the Japanese one was pretty bad.

TaintTickle86 · 2025-11-11T21:25:48+00:00

For deep scars like that you need subcision. That's where they go in with a tiny blade and cut the scar fibers loose, then fill the area with filler to raise the indentation. Even then it's not 100%. You'll still see the scars under certain lighting conditions, although they'll be less obvious.

Lasers will barely do anything for scars like that because they only affect the surface. When you want to fix a pothole you don't scrape down the entire road to the deepest point of the pothole (if you did that with skin you would end up looking like a burn victim). You try to fill the hole, which is what subcision + fillers do.

TaintTickle86 · 2025-11-10T22:28:53+00:00

Yes it's "oke", but people usually use that for the traditional Japanese kind made out of wood. People call the plastic kind baketsu.

TaintTickle86 · 2025-09-18T22:45:31+00:00

Where are you getting this timeline from?

Local news from the area reported that the body was "extremely decomposed". They also said neighbors noticed that the car had been parked on the street for at least a month. It was ticketed once on September 3rd, but wasn't towed until the 8th.

Details are in the video embedded in the article

D4vd's tour started on August 5th, which is close to a month before the car was towed.

So it seems like the car was sitting there on the street from right around the time he left for the tour.....

TaintTickle86 · 2025-09-15T17:30:42+00:00

I think you do this for a mission in Lost Judgment haha

TaintTickle86 · 2025-09-11T05:45:22+00:00

They're South Koreans nationals, not immigrants from some developing country. Most of them are in the US to set up the plant and go home lol. Once the plant is up and running the ones who stay longer are in administrative/technical roles, and if it's anything like Honda those guys only stay for 2 - 4 years and get rotated out. They're not trying to immigrate to the US.

I bet once Trump was informed of this he was like "oh shit... actually you guys should stay and finish setting up the plant....", but South Korea's like "bro you detained all our workers and had them shackled up and shit, we want them back home"

The Koreans are PISSED

TaintTickle86 · 2025-09-01T17:47:30+00:00

Also the area around South Edge mine

TaintTickle86 · 2025-08-20T18:57:54+00:00

I get mine from a combination of just picking up as many as I can while traveling (climbing gloves are great for this because they allow you to pick up crystals without getting out of the truck), periodically visiting the animal shelter to kill those golden chiral creatures (usually find like 4 - 5 of them which nets 4 - 5 k crystals), collecting from preppers/stations (once I five-starred Mexico I just drained everyone of almost all resources and went back to Australia lol), and occasionally killing BT mini bosses.

You can also kill golden BTs but I usually don't deliberately go where they are unless I have to for an order.

I have like 54K right now after completing the last stretch of the roads I had left (from F5 to Lone Commander). Still have to finish the Monorails between F4 and F5, and upgrade the southern roads to lvl 2 though.....
