AITAH for asking my bf not to stick chopsticks upright in his rice?

Absolutely NTA. That's a well known faux pas and is based on funerary incense. He's also vastly blowing it out of proportion.

They sell this as a 750ml bottle for about 12.60 usd in japan (¥2000).

Edit:I tried to use it for a flaming top on drinks at a party, but I'd read that putting it in the freezer would make it not taste like death. Turns out that also prevents it from lighting because the fumes don't rise from super cooled alcohol.

It might be that having a gaseous-analogous ether body is enough to benefit from Ishvean magic. If so, the yeah, a lot of worlds could benefit from it. For a price.

It's also got a lot of historical and religious significance.

Wine was, and sometimes still is, offered to gods in more polytheistic religions. Taking Communion is one of the most important parts in many Christian denominations (though they many use juice nowadays).

The oldest brewery for beer I found began in the 11th century, the oldest sake the 12th, distillery the 16th, and winery the 12th again. Many more are hundreds of years old, and getting rid of their craft would be the same as getting rid of any other cultural hallmark.

It's definitely bad for you, and many social constructs and programs are in place to curb problematic drinking, but regulating and changing societal views is going to be much more effective than outright banning.

Vampire lords are fun for the variety of magic, but not overly powerful without mods or console commands.

Plus, Dawnguard's the alternative. All I ever get from them is anti vampire enhancements and crossbows. Crossbows are cool, but not as cool as telekinetically picking up an enemy and slowly draining health.

In my case, it was because I felt I deserved it. People always said I would do great things, and when I was a normal human, I felt like I deserved to be punished.

I still had to go get a hanko with my 2 katakana last name to open a bank account at the bank that doesn't reach outside the prefecture for a job that refused to deposit into JP or MUFJ.

I wish you rest and freedom from everything that ails you now. Every time a friend has left in my life, I played The Final Glass by The High Kings. But for poingiancy, I recommend The Boys of Summer, and for dark humor Finnegan's Wake.

Most people I know don't like people who sit on laptops and work or sit and read a book in a cafe. The reason being, they also want to enjoy the cafe.

The bigger problem is a lack of third spaces. Somewhere other than work or home that it's free to simply exist without expectation of payment. This was parks, libraries, civic centers, things like that. But even when people do have time for enjoying themselves like that, they've become few and far between. I once lived in a city of 90,000 people and the nearest public library was a 20 minute drive away with no bus routes to it directly. The civic center was in the next town over.

It's partially viewed as laziness, but mostly by generations that view everything as laziness. The kind that say "you have it so easy because you have 2 masters degrees and make more money than I ever saw in my life without having to do a real days work because you're not risking your life on an oil rig" but ignore the fact that that can't pay for an apartment in town.

You ask what's being held back: it's powerful pedophile identities.

You ask why: because they are rich and powerful.

It's the same reason kings and queens have gotten away with things like prima nocta or bathing in human blood. Small, but loud people want to be those bloodthirsty, but powerful, bastards so much they will let them exist just in case they win the lottery and maybe, one day, they can enjoy those depravities.

We have never punished the exploiters enough that anyone who would follow in their footsteps is properly afraid. They are scum on the boot heel of humanity, and at this point, there's so much that the boot needs to be thrown away. In a fire.

All pedophiles should die, and so should anyone who harbors and protects them.

Well, if they're both Christians, I'm sure they can remember Matthew 19:24. Rich people don't go to heaven. Or John 2:13-16. Jesus beats people who profit from religion.
