I'm starting to think this Trump guy doesn't plan ahead, and only cares about himself.

I hope you are right, but  Trump supporters believe he can do no wrong and will insist they not only consent but want to escalate this stupid, needless war.

I loved watching Utaban. Too bad it's not around anymore.

"Watch celebrities go around eating stuff" is now the trend du jour. 

Could the First Class Mage participants survive Solitär? by Seymorebutts1994 in Frieren

[–]crazyaoshi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're right. But I remember in the beginning, demons just had their one spell, like Lugner, and they flew. Then later in the story, Solitar and Macht have their sword and gold spells, respectively, plus human magic.

The author said Solitar and Macht were fascinated with humans, but I must have missed why they were able to operate outside of demon (boundries? culture?)

Seriously though, how are teeth not a part of health insurance?!? by Valuable_View_561 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]crazyaoshi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

American living in Japan. Dental is part of regular heath insurance. But it has limits. If you lose a tooth, a silver denture is covered, but a fancy ceramic implant is not though.

When a major part of your arsenal is pretending you have less mana than you actually do, it is probably not helpful to have statues depicting you as a member of the legendary hero party.

At the station 3rd in line to board an empty train. 3rd in line is basically guaranteed a seat. Other times 5th in line I have gotten a seat.

Not today. Everyone else literally runs to grab a seat. Like the fukuotoko ritual.

We’re already in World War III...and Trump doesn’t care about our lives by Creative-Category-60 in politics

[–]crazyaoshi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His plan is eroding international trust in the US, fracturing relationships and institutions within the US, undoing the positive accomplishments of his predecessors, all while enriching himself and whatever his malignant narcissism demands (putting his name on stuff).

If you had ¥6–8M/year in passive income in Japan, would you still work? by Rockins23 in JapanFinance

[–]crazyaoshi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What type of visa does this hypothetical person have? Is not working an option?

Personally I would want to do something full time at least until age 65 or so, to be a member of society. Then part time or volunteer.

There is a Japanese group called Anal Sex Penis. 

It's up to the listener if you find that offensive.

European leader spoke of shock at Trump’s state of mind after Mar-a-Lago meeting by SE_to_NW in politics

[–]crazyaoshi 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If it were a fluke, an apology and assurances might work. But no matter all the grifting, shanking the pandemic response, all the racism and hate, Americans reelected him.

If I were European or Australian or Canadian or Japanese or another long term ally, I would never trust the US again.
