good

my moms family would buy that gallon jug wine for thanksgiving. i got to try some when i was maybe 10 years old. im pretty sure that kept me from drinking til i was like 18.

We only went to Taito arcade in Akihabara, ive never seen so many people who are so good at rhythm games. It does seem like there are more claw machine places than straight up video game arcades. The claw machines are often visible from the street, and the actual arcade is on a different floor.

“fast” food was ramen, we went to Ichiran a couple times, they have private booths to eat at solo(although i was with my gf haha)

Fancier food: PST Pizza in Tokyo was maybe the best wood fired pizza ive had. they had a pizza with shaved ice tomato that was awesome. And we had omakase at a place called Sushi Punch. The chef there was a funny guy. Also it was located basically off an alley, on the 7th floor of a building. Tokyo is so vertical it’s hard to comprehend. You see tons of street level stores and restaurants, and then having a dank meal on the 7th floor is weird to my american brain.

Ate lots of fish things at fish markets and an omakase restaurant. I prefer sushi and nigiri mostly, my gf loves oysters.

It’s a massive city with so much happening. Some parts were definitely most visually stimulating like Akihabara. I always have concert earplugs with me in case of loud noises but I was ok, and i mostly have those for hearing protection, not so much for auditory related issues.

I’m not sure what you mean by sites. Like locations? There are tons of little shrines all over, but i didnt see anything leftist related.

Saw some cats, they werent coming up to me though.

Didn’t really talk to any locals who didn’t work at a place i was at. Lots of workers seem to know some english, but Japanese seem to keep to themselves mostly. When on a train that was mostly japanese people it was pretty fuckin quiet.

Getting around on trains there was easier than New York City. Way better signage and google maps is very good about telling you what station, platform and even the best train car(so youre near the best station exit). Without cell phones it would have been insane figuring everything out.

im trying to think of weird ass phrases/words from when i was in high school. 1337 h4xx0r?

is this the site? https://kufiya.org/shop/

everything says notify me, not add to cart

their website is out of stock? I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY.

Use glass bottles that can be cleaned and reused? Nah, not profitable enough. And what will happen when someone gets a cut! Think of the horror! Plastics make it possible!

im not sure, but wouldnt surprise me. I remember hearing it being attributed to behavioral problems in children.

that is half food coloring

America has always been the 3rd and 4th lines. Unfortunately the revolution won’t come from voting for the president.

Cutting off some more lib friends as of late

unless theyre rabid zionists or something that seems pretty silly to do, id caution against isolating yourself unless they arent truly your friends.

Twitter isnt real life, especially someone who pays for Twitter

It’s religion minus the dogma. Still requires a suspension of disbelief though.

Collapse is clearly imminent

i see my grandpa sometimes, and recently i started seeing my dad again which hadnt happened for a while. I assume i see my grandpa more cause he died when i was an adult and my dad died like 24 years ago and those memories of him are certainly fading.

Usually in my dream i dont know theyre dead, but a couple times i might have been lucid dreaming cause i knew they were dead and was like “wtf how”

goddamn i feel this. my first gf(dated 10 years ago and i still chatted with sometimes) died last month. It’s a real mind fuck. And the way i found out was similar to your story. I had talked to her June 30th, got back from family vacation 2 weeks later and got on Facebook on July 15th. For some reason I wanted to look up something on my FB that involved her so i searched her name, and i found a bunch of posts from people i knew were her friends(i wasnt friends with them on FB and my dead friends FB was locked down to where i couldnt see those posts on her FB page) saying she died from liver failure. I knew she had cirrhosis but she was diagnosed last year and that is a fast death even for cirrhosis. it’s a real mind fuck.

massive deal, like they are obsessed with them? I can’t say ive met anyone that has one. it’s silly though.
