I see that you too have been talking to my grandparents.


My grandma literally referred to Taiwan and Korea as The Colonies until the day she died. I had to unlearn a lot of negative stereotypes about basically all Asians and the wrong kind of Japanese as a result

Are you saying the Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine, with the Japanese handing out chocolate bars and gumdrops, raising their fellow Asians up after being held down so long by the European oppressors?

Shocker.

PS. Did your grandma refer to Taiwan as Formosa too?

Edit.

In case it isn’t clear I am comparing Japanese colonialism to European colonialism and calling them equivalent, and most decidedly not saying “European colonial masters were better than Japan.” Had to clarify because I just know someone will read what I wrote and interpret it in the worst way possible.

A driveway in Orlando is bisected by a fence.

quote:

In 2003, the two adjoining lots were bought by the same individual. The lots back then had a different look to them.

“There were two homes, one on each lot," recalled former Wadeview Park resident Patty Stallworth.

In 2004, those homes were torn down and a new house went up on the corner, leaving a vacant lot next door.

When work on the second half of the new house began, it created a potential re-sale problem.

“First thing I would look at is the survey, then I would map out the legal description to see why there was an encroachment," said board-certified real estate attorney Nishad Khan. "Typically when you close, you close with a survey in hand that shows you what’s your legal description, and typically you submit plans for an improvement in a house. You know where you can build based upon a survey.”

From the backyard to the front, the work done encroached the adjacent lot by about 15 feet.

The work done is still there, but the house and lot sit empty.

The home was foreclosed on in 2015, and the vacant lot was bought by another individual. That lot still has no home on it, but the owner wanted to clear up the property line, building the fence right over the pool and through the garage.

“You are legally allowed to cut off any portion that encroaches on your property,” Khan said.

Isn't that what Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo did? Though, in his case it was to correct for a difference in length between his legs or something along those lines.

Super hosed up. They make the break in either the thigh or the shin, not both. So while casual observers may not be able to put their finger on what is wrong, your gait is gonna be weird and your knees won't be in the right spot for the length of your legs.
