Anti-wokeness has ruined gaming.

That's not good enough for me. I want them to canonically form a polycule, have orgies, collectively raise a griffon as their child, and defeat ancient elven gods.

 

Turning up at people's doors and asking for half their income would be a bigger scare, but I guess being a parasite has left him with lots of free time.

It's hard to say as I suspect I may have had it most of my life, but I knew I had a problem when I developed insomnia and would wake up at least 3-5 times a night. I was chronically exhausted, and at my worst points I would feel dizzy and struggle to read. I didn't recover until I got diagnosed and spent 18 months on CPAP.

 

Here's the article incase someone actually wants to read about this boring man.

Gen Z are ruining MILFs.

Sure, but that interpretation would make the game woke and political.

I don't think the Japanese abbreviation sounds so cool when you know that "asa-kuri" could also be interpreted as "morning chestnut".

Isn't this the same as what Israel has been doing with Birthright?

If he really respected the troops he'd kneel down and drink that hero's piss. Just another fake patriot.

who the fuck wants to talk to an older European.

Me. I love French daddies.

Exactly. The kind of people you're talking about claim that persecution towards Christians was predicted in the Bible while still complaining about their perceived but nonexistent persecution.

I don't know yet. I'll be living in London, and since it's a very international city there are jobs there that use Japanese. There's an employment agency for Japanese people that also helps former English teachers in Japan find work.

In the meantime there's some pervert on UpWork who wants me to translate futanari porn.

There are many things that I'll miss, but I know things wouldn't work out long-term there. I'm now 40 and have issues with fatigue due to a sleep disorder that went undiagnosed for years, so my chances of getting out of English teaching weren't great. Even if I could, I'm not sure if I could handle the stress and long working hours they have at most Japanese companies.

 

I'm moving back home to the UK after living in Japan for 11 years. I noticed a westerner at the boarding gate with his feet up on the seats opposite him. I thought that was incredibly rude, especially as he had his shoes, which Japanese people normally remove when putting their feet on something people sit on, but I didn't dwell on it.

After boarding the plane, he walked past my seat, and I noticed he was carrying the book "The Real Anthony Fauci". I wasn't familiar with the book, and although I think there are things Fauci deserves to be criticized for, it just screamed conspiratorial chud. I decided to wait until I had WiFi access and could Google the book before passing judgement, and it turned out some people don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

 

The labels have the character's name followed by 受 (uke), which means being the receptive or passive partner, or in BL slang means the bottom. Most underrated organizational system ever by the way. Please show this to anyone who claims that "unwoke" Japan doesn't "shoehorn queerness into everything".

 
 

I'm personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it's entirely Biden's fault that people don't want to vote for him.

 

Last year, I discovered that I have something in common with Biden. No, I don't mean I should be executed for my crimes against humanity (although I'm sure some of you tankies will beg to differ); I discovered that we are both using CPAP to treat sleep apnea. I struggled with chronic sleep deprivation for around three years until I finally got diagnosed and started CPAP around 18 months ago. I want to try to avoid being ableist, but as someone who has personally experienced impaired memory and reduced neurological ability from untreated sleep apnea, I know full well what it can do.

I do not know the full details of Biden's treatment, but articles suggest that he only started CPAP last year despite being diagnosed in 2008. Maybe it's unfair to speculate about his personal health, but it seems like there are one of two possibilities.

  1. Like roughly 50% of CPAP users, he struggled to adapt to it and quit within the first year, but had to give it another chance after his health inevitably deteriorated.
  2. A CPAP was unnecessary at first, as he could manage his symptoms through undergoing surgery or using a dental device, but they progressed (as they generally do with age) to the point where he needed to start CPAP therapy.

In either case, he was probably sleep deprived for some time before his doctors noticed and advised him to start CPAP therapy. It can also often take at least six months to overcome sleep deprivation (it took more than 18 months in my case), and even longer to repair the damage it caused.

My sleep apnea is likely much worse than his, but I'm also half as old as him, and I would not describe my memory as fine. I never expect to remember important information unless I write it down immediately, and I sometimes struggle to remember the names of people I've worked with for several years. I've just had to accept that dealing with my poor memory is part of managing my symptoms. I don't think he deserves to be mocked, but I think he should accept that his memory is far from fine.

 

I'm 40 and therefore ancient in terms of internet years, but although I'm British (but one who was born to a Celt and an Southeast Asian born in a British colony, so don't judge me) I really don't remember how Ireland was viewed when I was younger. I didn't have much awareness of current events until I was at least 10, and the Good Friday agreement was signed when I was 15, so I always view the worst of the conflict as something that was before my time.

I know there was a whole stereotype about Irish terrorists, but was that ever used by politicians and/or media figures to prolong the conflict? Are there any verifiable examples of this such as articles or videos?

 

"Do white lives matter?" energy.

 
 
 

I like to sing eurodance classics, and most of them omit the rap verses. I've always been grateful that they do, because I'm scared it'll be cringe and sound like I have zero flow.
