I worked with a guy once who is a vegetarian and did a lot of business in Japan in the 80s. He has a story about visiting a bank and the CEO came down and interrupted their meeting so he "could see what a vegetarian looked like."

I can entirely believe that story. There's actually still a lot of people like that especially out in the sticks. When I used to live in a tiny town up north where I was the only foreign person in town, I got so many free dinners and drinks from crazy old coots who found a great novelty in socializing with a foreigner.

That's actually a pretty good idea, I hadn't though of that before. I was too busy thinking about meat.

My ex-girlfriends mother used to make a pretty good dashi omelet before she went off the deep end and started writing the Japanese equivalent of timecube.

Insufferable curtain-twitchers suing awesome disabled dude because he has a massive garage to work on cars, and lets people come and use it for free. Their argument is that he's running a commercial operation and thus needs a permit, when he has applied for a permit and been denied one specifically because he is not operating commercially, and so it is unnecessary.

The GoFundMe his daughter set up for legal fees has cracked $31k so far, most of it in a single day https://www.gofundme.com/neighbors-vs-williams-milton-de-2tvbfck.

It feels odd being the only white guy for like fifty miles in some places.

My experience with the Japanese is that they are very accommodating over a medical issue with what you can and can't eat, it's just that anything like vegetarianism is a "does not compute" situation. You can eat meat... but you don't eat meat? :psyduck:

$10 donated, because seriously gently caress those people. I'm a board member in the (not batshit insane) HOA where I live, and we have a couple of these types of people living in our building.

One guy seriously has some kind of vendetta against the people in the apartment above his. He complains that their footfalls are very heavy in the morning when they get up, and that the floors creak. He has a whole website set up with recorded audio of this supposed "invasion of his right to quiet living" and he wants us to do something about it.

By his own admission, he doesn't want to try and talk it out with them, he just wants us to stop them walking around on their own floors :psyduck:

The worst part is that he's just completely teflon-coated when it comes to reasonable arguments and attempts to find a neighborly solution. It drives me crazy.

He also likes to feed the pigeons in the courtyard, even though he's been told repeatedly that it attracts rats and other pests. It's like he's living inside his own little reality bubble where he gets to set all the rules.

She just started spending every waking hour typing out pages and pages of ramblings for her various blogs about how China was trying to replace her with an impostor and how group stalkers were tracking her every move etc. I recently looked her up to see if she was still at it and yup, still as active as ever it seems. I'd post a link but her strategy to combat the Chinese impostors is to heavily doxx herself throughout, that and it's all in Japanese. The really impressive part is she didn't have a computer, she typed it all out on her old cell phone while hardcore chain smoking. Don't worry about her lungs though, she's "immortal" :downs:

Different tastes, different lives, different perspectives.
Some of us enjoy different things.
Subjectivity does not follow objectivity, so albeit a book may be "Better" via technical merits, I might not enjoy it because it doesn't speak to me.
Or I just like trashy poo poo after spending all day using my brain for work.

Yeah but this is a book where the author(s) attempt to discribe a blue sky "as pure as a special effect in a computer game" like wtf does that even mean?? Characters so stereotypical theyre surely embarrassed of themselves. I'm literally blind now because my eyes have rolled right out of my head.

Jesus Christ these fuckers piss me off, particularly the bitch claiming that there was no decision made and building codes not being followed after repeatedly being told that there was no code violation and the decision was that nothing illegal was happening.
Oh my God - their major complaint is that "auto repair is occurring" and "uuuuuuuurrrrrgh! Laws are broken"! Outrage! These loving idiots have spent $40K because they can't just loving let poo poo be, and just have to stir it up.
Holy poo poo I hate it when fucktards have money.

I would effort post but internet. I save my grammatical acumen for technical documents at work and anti-Trump rhetoric on the finest of message boards.
I acknowledge and embrace my lack of proper punctuation. I was able to write well at one point in time, but that was ages ago, and I have devolved.

And to acknowledge corn - no, I have not read any of the books - new job, fixing house, life is busy. If I'm going to read a "good" book, I like to have the time to digest and process it, not just power through it. What little free time I have I am using on brainless pursuits such as Luke Cage on Netflix.

Watched a guy run by me at work last night around midnight; hand clutched against his head while his blood ran down his arm. He left a crimson trail from the line all the way to the emergency medical room. Turns out he was in LOTO (lock-out tag-out) while working on a FANUC robot that was malfunctioning. As he was leaving, another maintenance tech that was on a catwalk above him accidentally dropped a hammer. If he would've been wearing a hardhat like he was supposed to, he wouldn't have had anything worse than a small headache. Now he's probably going to lose his job and have a hefty medical bill for the ambulance ride and his hospital visit.

He'll probably lose it because of a failed drug test. The guy is an occasional cannabis user so if his test comes back positive, his job is gone. Our company has a mandatory drug test policy for anyone involved in a work-place accident.

Industrial site worker here. 100% he'd be drug tested, and if he was in a mandatory PPE zone, he'd lose his job for failing to follow safety procedures. No bill for the ambulance/hospital, though.
PPE is provided, replacements are provided if you lose something, and there's zero excuse in any environment where you require it not to be wearing it. Especially helmets - brains are squishy.
