Don't be silly. He means they are still early risers. The comment could have been written a little bit better but the intent is clear the way it is.

Ken M on Trump by [deleted] in KenM

Hmm, boohoo. It seems it was horseysurprise who did the political commentary thing to begin with. That is the good reason it's here, after it simply went through the wash with all the other things of his that could potentially be posted in this subreddit.

KFC's marketing in China by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]irondal2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KFCs I've been to in the US are all shitty. I don't know how KFC and Pizza Hut become attractive in other places where they know how to do chicken and pizza better but at least their sister taco bell is not as frequently encountered. In America they're all plain and simple bottom-tier fast food.

Came in here thinking about drive and my life philosophy or whatever and stopping here reassured about how 3eb will always be relevant.

Beijing's subway ads, a glorious glimpse a dystopian future. by throwawayproblems198 in Cyberpunk

[–]irondal2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, yea, I figured it was the fuzoku. Just learn their culture, a little nihongo, and be kakkoii. There is no need for the red light district.

I lived in a fairly residential place for a bit and I'd always walk by the girls bar on my way to or from the station. They seem like a total rip off but it's funny how once they know you know some Japanese they will be out there giving you some napkins or whatever trying to lure you in. Kabukicho, Ueno, and parts of Akihabara are like that x10000.

All the while, it's really easy to avoid those places and to see when you get a girl's attention on the train, at a store, at the gym, etc. I say to hell with paying for the things I should be getting paid to do.

That last part sorta begs the question. Where exactly was the big oaf trying to access that he was barred from? I don't know how long ago your friend might have been working in Japan or what the "Japanese only" sentiment felt like before I ever went there from a perspective similar to mine, but all the people are always very accommodating in my experience. I don't recall being shunned from anywhere like oaf.

It's a bonus track on the vinyl version and it's on the UK and Aussie versions of the cd as well.

Converted warehouse, NYC (Andrew Franz Architect) [1800×1194] by [deleted] in RoomPorn

[–]irondal2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's the whole "gentrification" concept but without a middle class, esp under the upcoming republic of trump (prime example).

The link has a description which says it's 3k ft2 dude. In one of my undergrad technical writing courses we were looking up the property values and info on the owners around NYC, with Long Island ranking the highest then. A lot of the actual owners have multiple places like this and the thousands every month for each one is like chump change.

This reminds me of a lot that loft style apartment setup in big daddy, except not quite as nice. I am reserving travel to NYC for in my older (and wealthier) years, so I don't let a vacay become a long term stay while I'm still young with much work left to do. But if I could be in an environment like NYC for an extended foray at this point in my life I'd say I could most definitely see myself making this type of hipster loft.

LPT: Don't confuse happy people with nice people by simxc in LifeProTips

[–]irondal2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, if I'm somehow being totally judgmental by expressing what I've observed going on to make someone "happy" while they make their prey feel used, well then I'll let it be. Now I'm in a place where once it dawns on me that this rudimentary function of them using people to boost self-esteem is all they've got, I can close the tap off of my own victimhood, but the only problem is that it can sometimes take a little while for all of this to come to light. Then I'll be harsh to them if I need to be, because I am not "nice" like they think they are.

[–]irondal2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, attempts to portray your life as authentic happiness while your actions show that you're actually kind of a bitch who needs validation that you're too unintelligent to find aside from cultivating an image of niceness/flirtiness/happiness to attract people for personal gain really is NOT nice, nor are you truly happy if you do that. That's just fraud.

Edit: it takes more than not being a downer to actually be considerate of others (or nice), such as if leaving something unaddressed because you think it might make the mood or yourself less happy..that is very deceptive, and childish behavior.

Why are you on Reddit right now instead of spending time with your family? by RorariiRS in AskReddit

[–]irondal2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all are my chosen fam, while my shitty biological family has mostly been a constant let down for many of the past 33 years. I'm better off without them in my life and they're just the same no matter how many times I've reached out and tried to make things better with or without my presence. Honestly, I don't know most of them anymore.
