    they are finding out that the japanese aren't passive. they are patient.
    Wait, the cameraman is in hiding? Damn, this is quite the saga.

    I think Heroes in Crisis was so universally hated (because it was shit) that most just want to ignore it in favour of having Wally well-written again.

    It might've been partly retconned too. I'm not sure.

Which I know, typical bad American diet, but when you've had such an abundance of meat your entire life meals without it really feels like, not even a meal in a way? Kind of like how some Asian countries have a saying that it isn't a meal without rice, to me supper isn't really supper if there's no meat there. The absence is noticeable.

    But again, I'd like to say that if we have 2 billion people saying 'I don't know how me stopping eating meat would help, I'm just one person', that speaks volumes. As it has with every other social issue.
    Oh not exactly - I'm not saying "I don't know how me stopping eating meat would help, I'm just one person" I'm saying "there's not near enough other people doing this for one reason or another for me to bother." It's an important distinction. I know they're not doing it, so my efforts really would in the end be pointless. I also know me starting it on my own isn't going to kickstart others doing it either, I'm not an influencer. Again the problem is unless things change I know for a fact my efforts would be wasted 100%.

    Doing okay these days. Obvious concerns over some issues, but happy with my life, specifically, so I cannot complain. I hope things are good for you.
    Glad to hear it Sharp.

    the icing on this is last week, when he messed with a bunch of tourist and one of them had enough of his shit and punched the crap out of him and his camera man for calling them racists.

    johnny thought he could get away with anything with the japanese since he was always let off with a warning. but that all changed this week when he was arrested for trespassing on a closed construction site. from what i've learned, he's facing 3 years in prison and considering the conviction rate in japan, he's not going home anytime soon. and japanese prisons will break his dumbass.
    I take back what I said earlier about this guy - jackass doesn't even begin to describe what a colossal and monumental douche he is. What a goddamn loser, you just don't fucking treat any damn body or culture like that. Glad they finally arrested this asshole, maybe a few years in prison will mellow him out into not a hateful self-entitled creep.

    So, a new Dragon Ball web anime series is being produced by Toei and storyboarded by Toriyama, and it's apparently going to revolve around the Supreme Kais. Each episode is going to be less than 20 minutes long and there are 15 episodes planned thus far.

    from what i know, japanese prisons are hella strict and very controlled. like, they control every minute of your time there. they basically turn you into a automaton. so for this punk, that's gonna be hell. and according to some folks i know, he might end up in a prison near osaka, which happens to house a large number of yakuza. if he goes there, best believe, they will give him a warm welcome for all the shit he talked about them.

    ...Every time I revisit this story, I'm truly baffled at how this guy created totally unnecessary BS just to look cool. His reasoning does not help.
