    Japanese American with conversational level Japanese

    ANYWHERE YOU WANT. Dude, you're not getting it. If you're 100% ethnically Japanese, look 100% ethnically Japanese and are comfortably conversational (and maybe even if you're not) you're not in the same category as any single white guy or visible foreigner in the world, even ones fluent in...

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    Since when did I ever claim NOT to be "rightwing"? I'm a center-right former GOP political operative, which I've been pretty candid about in the five years I've been around here. Kind of a DUH sorta thing to whine about. Not unlike accusing a gay guy of enjoying sucking dick. And I'm not...

    Japanese American with conversational level Japanese

    No, most places will not be receptive. ALL places will be receptive. Now stop thinking about it. FWIW, American, 100% ethnically Japanese here, lived in Japan for years, back in town a few times a year and not even that conversational, anymore (especially when sober). I have never been...

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    When did I ever claim to hate Democrats? I often find them silly and misguided, but I'm generally in agreement with most of the moderate Democrats in Congress (like the Blue Dogs). They have their own extremist wings, like those fucking retards in "The Squad," but so does the other side. It...

    Suggestion for thin wall hotels in Osaka

    That's a fantastic idea! I mean, I can't imagine any travelers and particularly their kids who book a hotel room to get a night's sleep wouldn't want to be kept up all night by your dumb fucking assholery. You're exactly the kind of shitbag, cheap-ticket, scumbag piece of shit foreigner that...

    Best Burger chain in Japan?

    Over two decades ago when I was a college student in the midwest, there was a Carl's Jr. down the street from my dorm. We'd go there on occasion, usually because we were fucking trashed and it was closer than Taco Bell and cheaper than Denny's. I never cared for it. The parent company that...

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    For those of you watching from a distance who happen to be interested, be thankful that you're able to watch what's going to happen from a distance. The NY trial is going to be a disaster. Keep in mind, the U.S. Dept of Justice declined to pursue these charges because they deemed them...

    Good hotel in Fukuoka close to party district / can bring girls back

    I end up in Kokura/Hakata area often enough and used to date a girl from Fukuoka a number of years back so I did some pretty extensive research on couples-suitable (size, bed, good bath/shower room, etc.) rooms and there are a few very decent ones directly in front of Hakata Station on the main...

    Chicago- Travel Suggestions and Tips Appreciated!

    I most definitely am. Been many years since I was there, but Chicago is kinda like D.C. to me. It'd be great to visit if I were in my 30s and single again but that ship has sailed. But, I stand firm on the Chicago Beef Sandwich. I can seriously imagine situations where I'd choose that...

    Chicago- Travel Suggestions and Tips Appreciated!

    I haven't been to Chicago in a number of years, well before the pandemic, but I've got friends and relatives there so I hear enough about current affairs. I hate to be the downer here but just be aware that Chicago, being a "sanctuary city," has become one of the primary unloading zones for the...

    Newbie

    Wonderful, more idiots from Hawaii. I remember the golden years when I was the only one. Although to be fair, no self-respecting Hawaii local would ever choose a username with "aloha" in it, much less call himself "JT." Probably a white transplant from California chasing the white transplant...

    Best Burger chain in Japan?

    FYI, and while it's a little off-topic, I had a quick business trip to Hakodate so obviously I popped into Lucky Pierrot down on the pier. Bright side, the staff didn't protest when I ordered four mugs of beer at once, just for myself. Not so bright side, there was a line 20-minutes long of...

    The Anything Goes Thread

    Interesting, since a week ago I was jogging the Nakanoshima circuit that ends by the Keihan Temmabashi Station. What the fuck were you doing down there?? From what I recall, it was just govt offices and bureaucratic bullshit in that area...but very nice buildings, and Nakanoshima is a great...

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    In the end, you and I are basically on the same page. I've said it before, I think Trump and his entire family (except for Ivanka and Melania) are royal pieces of shit. I don't like him, I participated in state/federal level campaigns against him and I think he's potentially very dangerous to...

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    It's also the most absurd, ridiculous and borne of pure ignorance. The pipedream that Nikki Haley will run third-party and throw the election to Biden is just utterly idiotic wishful thinking by desperate Democrats or people who aren't paying attention. Haley is as GOP Establishment as GOP...

    Perhaps, but you're still here replying to me on a Sunday night.

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    Ummm...this is a thread I started, and you knew that, no? Not trying to claim ownership or any sort of proprietary rights, but if you didn't want me "pestering" you, wouldn't it have made obvious sense to just not come here? Things that fly over the cuckoo's nest after half a bottle of...

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    You do understand that a normal person doesn't say things like this? I hate to say this, but I do think you probably have some underlying mental and emotional health issues. I'm assuming you're abusing some sort of substance--alcohol, most likely--but you really should consider seeking out...

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    TDS is certainly as strong here as it was in the last thread four years ago...at least among three or four certain members who are still obviously as emotionally invested in something as silly as an election and political candidate. As interesting as it is to observe them dissolving into fits...
