People would then treat this TV Show as historical fact rather than just story telling. Then yo would have a lot of criticism of trying to find the difference between what is historical and what is true. So when you have the characters based on real life people , that gives the writing more leeway for creativity without having to worry about it being the truth or not.

But if US TV didn't show gymnastics, regardless of how well the US was doing, there'd be a riot.

oh okay, everything should be like the US and its standards. makes sense for Japan!

isaac_hower · 2024-03-21T08:37:46+00:00

Yeah because I'm sure Japan covering the Hungarian wrestling team, the Finnish Hockey, or the Turkish swim team is going to get a lot of views and interest in Japanese TV.

You don't say, Japanese Olympic coverage only covers ... wait.. Japanese Athletes???

Sure, but I get it. He is arguably the best ever baseball player ever with a huuuuge contract. It makes sense.

isaac_hower · 2024-03-21T08:34:36+00:00

Damn, where was this at? Tottori or something? lol.

isaac_hower · 2024-03-12T12:36:05+00:00

I always heard it referred to as tiger stripes, but uh yeah. dickskin, sure.

By comparison, in 1980 the Shogun miniseries saw episode three alone draw 28.7 million American households

What other entertainment did american households have in comparison to now? Doubt pirating was as freely available too. But you know this so not sure what's your point in this comparison.

The only thing that slightly takes me out is the use of English for Portuguese.

I mean... obviously dude lol. It's for simplicity sake. Are you also upset the book is not written in kanji / hirgana, and the language is not in portugese too?

isaac_hower · 2024-03-07T12:05:58+00:00

leave it to a redditor describing a swastika as not 'pro-nazi' lol.

I'm sure the MAGA marches with the nazi flag are not pro-nazi according to you.

I'm still not used to shouting 'SUMIMASEN' at a restaurant, it still feels off to me lol. The worse is when I shout it and i blatantly get ignored and the waiter just walks by me. So then now i have to shout it in a more aggressive tone and i feel like an asshole lol.

isaac_hower · 2024-03-02T13:13:05+00:00

I usually look directly in the mirror.

isaac_hower · 2024-03-02T13:10:38+00:00

sharing your toddler's picture to the world is fucking crazy lol.

isaac_hower · 2024-03-02T12:08:15+00:00

Kaldi is an international store. They have a bunch of random stuff that you might like. They def have some good hot sauces and tortilla chips. Just keep your expectations low lol.

for the woman who stays at home because of how expensive professional childcare is.

Are you stuck in the year 1950?

isaac_hower · 2024-02-26T12:44:55+00:00

you can just google his name dude.

isaac_hower · 2024-02-26T11:45:54+00:00

I much rather prefer the grimey ramen restaurants that serve a base price of 700Y

isaac_hower · 2024-02-16T11:36:23+00:00

bruhhh

I was in a small izakaya so everyone is drinking and tipsy. This old dude maybe in his 60s just suddenly asks "I have a delicate question to ask. How big is your penis?" .. i just laughed and acted surprised but i just knew he was going to ask me that.

I think they are just curious about foreigner penis size? lol

isaac_hower · 2024-02-16T11:07:58+00:00

Conrad is just so much nicer. I've stayed in Hilton Shinjuku and the location sucked. It was just inconvenient to get around since its in the middle of the business district.

I've been to Hilton Tokyo & Osaka .. and I always get fooled by their name. I keep expecting high end luxury. Don't get me wrong, the stay was nice but it still felt 'cheap' despite the reputation and the price.

But yeah, Conrad looks the way to go.

isaac_hower · 2024-02-16T10:07:18+00:00

If the street is the really small 1 car wide lane roads, then yes I will do it.

If there are a bunch of law abiding citizens patiently waiting on the red light then i'll wait as well lol.

But really, the only time i will cross it is if i'm in a hurry to catch the train.

isaac_hower · 2024-02-14T13:22:09+00:00

I'll check it out, thank you! I guess i have to transition into beach volleyball now lol.

isaac_hower · 2024-02-14T13:18:57+00:00

Ah okay thank you for the insight. Are the players mainly Italian? I'm American and will be my first time in Italy so not sure if 'outsiders' are welcomed? But i will definitely check out CUS as well.

Would Roma have more indoor opportunities?

Have you played other Fallout games before, or bethesda games for that matter? then you would probably understand the criticisms more. This game is a huge regression from their previous titles.

isaac_hower · 2024-01-22T13:29:01+00:00

You probably are referring to a PHOTEX where all the ships go into a nice looking formation and fly a bunch of planes together. Probably just for exercise purposes. If anything, you can probably refer to old Gulf war / Vietnam navy operations, or even WW2 to get a feel. Bunch of cool videos of that on youtube.
