Being a white dude in Japan, by-and-large, is playing the game on Easy Mode.

Being brown in Japan, there are few advantages. For a while, black dudes were Tokyo women's favorite accessory. But mostly the xenophobia endemic to this culture is readily present for anyone non-white, and any non-Japanese Asians. And the place enforces gender roles like it was 30 or more years ago.

I desperately want my daughter to go abroad and explore western cultures where her hard work and determination will count for something more than making tea for her former delinquent classmates. Sadly, Trump's efforts in America have shown off aspects of America that I'd never considered relevant enough to factor in.

Big dogs are the worst. "Bull in a china shop" regularly. It's like having to baby proof your house but instead of ~8 years it's doubled. One of my elderly neighbors got her hip broken when her great dame jumped up to lick her face.

I'm not a fan of dogs in general but can see myself getting one some day. They're just so... dumb. I'd have a real tough time being patient after getting woken up in the middle of the night by them barking at some stupid shit, lol.

Let's go the whole mile. I think pets are overrated. :shrug

Pets are fun when you're a kid, but as an adult it's a child that never truly grows up or learns from its mistakes. I would trade in any of my former pets to be able to be a mother and find the whole "fur baby" thing kinda gross. I understand many women currently can't or simply don't to have children, but the entire treating pets they're humans and your baby thing is....weird. You can't communicate with a pet in a real way, and while you certainly have a relationship with animals it's not really in the way you would with a human. I would much rather be a mom than ever have another pet.

Cats are cute though.
Title: Re: Overrated
Post by: Rufus on October 02, 2017, 01:41:58 PM
Yeah, the "fur baby" stuff is cringey. Some people take it way too far.

Cats are assholes but they're so affectionate (little shits). My cat was a pretty big therapy for me, and I grew up having cats, really love them. Dogs require way more responsibility, could never deal with that. Plus you gotta pick up after them, and then they smell like trash when it's raining.

If you don't have much experience with cats, I recommend getting an adult cat first, because those are grown up and you'll already know its personality (#AdoptNotShop). Kittens require more stimulation and also toilet training and stuff. They can be pretty unpredictable. If you live somewhere a cat can be safe outside too, that's for the best. No cats should be kept stricly indoors imo, especially not if they're used to be outside too. Never had a dog but you'd have to walk it several times a day and do lotsa other shit. Then you gotta play with them a lot too. Cats are pretty much on autopilot. They're all different though, some are assholes who demand lots of attention, others are content with just food and sleep. But you'll know if you ask the adoption center for a calm and chill cat. :3 Just make sure you really want one, and that you're able to take care of it for many years. Even though they're chill, they still need affection. And prepare for fur everywhere, especially your furniture and clothes. lol

Cats shouldn't be outdoors. They fuck up the ecosystem and live like 3 years. Cat owners who let their cat out because "poor kitty is stuck inside" are bad owners IMO. Just as irresponsible as a dog owner who leaves their dog outside unsupervised. But instead of dealing with your dog attacking humans, you're dealing with an invasive species' killing off entire swaths of wild life for sport. Good going jackass.

Since I'm editing the formatting, I'll also go so far as to put words in someone else's mouth, but: this was not likely meant "get married, create kids," so much as "make good friends, keep them close, be open with them — esp. if your own family sucks."

Good people don't do what you do.

You're a coward and I sense that you're vile inside.

However, I am just flinging assessments at you. There's not much else to do in regards to a person like you. However, if you insist on the snark and passive aggressive horseshit, I'll continue to be honest about your behavior. That'll be our agreement.

John Keats
worst post, boo this man

He gets so overcome with emotion by the most random shit. I like some of his stuff, but I can only take a lot of it in small doses. Also, he's in that really awkward period of poetry where they were still really reliant on old forms, but all sorts of structural innovations were about to show up a couple decades later. He feels limited by form in a way that his contemporaries Byron and Shelley do not, IMO.

He's good, just not up there for me with Whitman, Frost, Eliot, or the others I'd put in the absolute top tier.

:six:

I’d expect this absolutely shitty opinion from a Bernie supporter, not from you.

Well, I guess you have an option of turning it on or off?

I guess I'm saying that I'd rather be a natural extrovert than what I am now, not necessarily put a lot of stock/effort into being at the center of society or anything like that.

Honestly think I was always a natural introvert that just wanted people to like me so I used charm to get love and care, so maybe I'm not the best example. Been a lot happier since I've reduced my friend count to like 5 and we only do things we really want together.

The term "lore" :yuck

Nothing wrong with the word itself I guess but over the last few years it's mostly used by geeks to masturbate to their precious fandom, writing pages long diatribes about minuscule details no one cares about so these fools can feel all smug and clever about it. Can't we just go back to using words like "backstory", "worldbuilding" or whatever? :foxx

Lore is overrated.

I get that there's plenty of people who like to get into these "universes" like Halo, Destiny, WoW and so on, but to me it always seems like people jumping unto things hoping to become an expert on them because they weren't born when LoTR came out and they need their thing.

Also while I actually do find the setting and some stuff about Destiny at least interesting, I'm more interested in a good story. Not reading wiki pages upon pages of names I have no idea what they are. I'm interested in themes, character arcs, and actual storytelling not you're lore wankery.

And while I harbor no ill will towards it, Rick and Morty seems kind of overrated. Like I saw one episode and it was solid, but man people can't shut up about. I tend to be turned off to these things nerd things that nerds think nerds have to like.

It's from my observation on how tedious the whole process of getting money, researching and publishing is. I feel it's at the point that instead of serving the truth, it obfuscates it. For example, in medicine there's a huge problem of under reporting of negative results that is tied to with how the whole academic circus runs and does not reward such findings.
